Always happy to give my take, always happy to be at The Lake--
I invite YOU to join me for some good natured (though often dark, certainly adult) humor & lots of sarcasm while we navigate the world of journal-making, paper crafts and all kinds of creative projects.
I've a variety of playlists for you: "craft-n-chat" type programs (join me whether you're baking, sewing, woodworking, etc.) haul videos (those are always fun!) flip-throughs and loads of different takes on what's going on in the jujo universe.
I’M CONDUCTING A LITTLE EXPERIMENT WITH THIS CHANNEL: can one grow a channel without having to be on every social media platform there is?
YOU can help. If you enjoy the info here, find it the least bit helpful and sorta’ entertaining once in a while, PLEASE share it with people you think may enjoy it as well. I’m certain this can happen without me resorting to nightmarish tangle that is FB.
Thanx for your interest-looking forward to seeing YOU here a lot. Take care-ker

1:36 it was NOT a RCG video it was a gluebook flip-through of iHannah’s 🤦🏻♀️🥴
Great ideas. I have been guilty in the past of cleaning off the palette because I like a clean slate but you can still clean it up by using the paint instead of wiping it off and wasting it.
Thanx! Absolutely, there's always something can be done with the "extra paint" either collect it in a notebook, use it to make tiny paintings, or do the shadow work/toning for the next painting. NO reason whatever to wipe it up with a paper towel and toss it, lol.
Love your mini paint book ideas. Your water colour dogs are amazing so full of character, great to use up that paint. Love to you and Bits 💜
Thanks so much 😊 always inspired by my craft friends here and abroad 😉 Love and hugs to you and the beautiful boy Freddie 🦀💜🖤
@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol happy watercolouring 🩵
I never clean my palette. I use palette dirt to do the value study for my next painting or just use the pigment in my next painting. It helps to always mix the same colors in the same space. I have spaces for grays, greens, purples, blues and warms.
Great that you didn't get into that bad habit. What bugs me is that people wanting to learn look to KZreadrs to teach them and then the newbies pick up the YTers' bad (often horrible) habits. For some reason I feel it's my mission to STOP that from happening somehow, lol 🤪 YES! Mixing in the same place all the time is a great habit.
Love this, I find I do this as well. I like to use the excess then I go back and ink it or add other details another day. I like the intentional plans you’ve put in place. This excites me, because usually I play without an idea necessarily. I’m always surprised by the direction. Where did you find those little books? Should you send a link, I like how thick they are and how they lay flat. Really interested in your thought process. Very exciting.
The link for the little books is in the pinned comment above (as I forgot to put it in the description as promised, lol) ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Wow Ker 🤗 Great what you can do with the paint dregs !! Well done❣️
Hahhah, the "dregs" that's no lie. Gives me an excuse to paint more: I want to fill my little books of unwasted watercolor 😈
Here’s the link for the lil’ chunky watercolor 3-pack: Ctosree 3 Pcs Mini Watercolor... www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCJCMS84?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Happy painting 🎨
Thanks for the link, I didn’t see it while watching and commenting. Have a fun day!
Love your projects & especially the daisy envelopes. they were so cute!! I still write letters & send various handmade cards for my church. The ladies would love those envelopes!! TFS
That’s awesome that you still write letters, I think we all should do more of that, great excuse to decorate envelopes 🌼 so glad you enjoyed the video 🤓
Really love those watercolor books and the ideas you have for using them. I didn't see the link to Amazon in the description box though.
🤦🏻♀️ sorry about that, here ya’ go: Ctosree 3 Pcs Mini Watercolor... www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCJCMS84?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Great ideas and I like the little watercolor books. Thank you so much.

Omgosh, Ker! I am going to definitely be using up my leftovers this way. I do sometimes clean my palette with a paper towel that I save and use as texture etc, so it's not actually wasted. Thanks for sharing more ways to save it!!!
Excellent 🤓 Always great to see you 🎨
I always look for your videos and Amy's videos
Awww, that’s so sweet 🌼
Everywhere
I think the covers look great. You did great. TFS
I would take it EVERYWHERE with me 🤩 it’s beautiful
Hi there , I had to write and tell you I had a teacher who did same thing to me, only I would turn my book completely inside down, and I had a lovely hand writing surprisingly. This was a great irritation for my teacher... I did sneak my book back also...
Aren't you so PROUD of your little self doing what was best for YOU? That's a great story, thank you much for sharing it. Funny what teachers did way back when would get them publicly stoned today, lol. So glad it worked out for you ✒️🤓
Oh noooo!! Thanks for the heads up, Ker. Whoa!!
ugh, what a mess it was, lol Missing you at Janet's Lives, I hope you're doing well 🌿
Man you hit it right on the nose Ker! Fear of the blank page! I have that so bad... Thank you for sharing your fun! I was just telling my daughter as I am destashing my craft room... about using up all this old paint so I can get some new. Hugs!
meh--it's JUST paper, they'll make more, lol. YES!!! Use it up and then upgrade, hahahaha, what a great excuse to shop for more goodies. The de-stash is never-ending isn't it??!! Hope all is well for you over there in Candy Land ❤️🤍❤️
@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol Thank you 💜
Wow! Would never imagine that would work like that! There’s a science lesson in there! TYFS! ❤
Fabulous 🐾
Omg, how awful, I’m sorry, Ker. Darn it Thx for the heads up though, who would have ever thought .? 🤷♀️
I *wish* that that is all that happened to me! I get pump sprayers (i.e. they have a built-in manual air pump to pressurize them so you only need to hold the trigger down to have a steady spray, instead of having to madly squeeze until your hand cramps up. *HIGHLY* recommended.) I made the mistake of not depressurizing one before putting it away, and the seam on the bottom eventually developed a pinhole leak that slowly emptied half a gallon of mix all over the shelf and the boxes below it. I didn't need it for a few months, so, when I went back for it, everything in the boxes was wet and mouldy. Oof.
🤦🏻♀️😤 That's awful
Nice to spend some painty time with you 🤗 All your painty backgrounds are very bright & cool 👍 Such a cute doggie at the end. Was that Bitsy ? 💜🐾💜🐾💜
Awww, thanx!!! YES 🥰 that's my Bitsy girl 🖤🤍🖤❣️
Thanks for the heads up Ker 👍
Ugh. Hate learning lessons the hard way. I am SO bummed my pristine white book (What the DOG saw) got greened 😡😡😡😡 I had no idea. Not a worry if there's air conditioning or other type of temperature control. These were sitting on my shelf, near a window, no A/C...took me a while to figure out wth was going on 😂🤣😂
That stinks 😤
Doesn't it though ⁉️
Ker what a wonderful way to relax after a challenging day. Pure magnificent play. Wow some of these pages are amazing, loved watching you experiment with all the different tools. A ‘ graffiti book ‘ love that, have fun doodling. Love to you and little Bits 🐾💜 ( did I see graduation photos ) ?
Hahhah, yes, graduation pics, but not mine. The music I picked really reminded me of a sad scene from the wonderful Robin Williams movie "Dead Poets Society" and just wanted to give a nod. So I included some images from the movie. It was loads of fun--imagine: an ENTIRE book of painty papers and scraping paint...pages and pages and pages (per our conversation at this morning's live, 😂🤣😂)
Always enjoy watching you play! The colors you use are come together so beautifully! I actually did some scrape painting yesterday, so it was extra fun to watch you today work with yours! Always learning!! ❤
YESSS, we are all always always learning (ideally), that's what keeps us moving forward. Thanx so much for hangin' out here for a while, always good to see you 🤓🦝
Helloooo Ker 🦀🦀 I had fun watching you playin with paints in your new journal 😍🤩 I loveeeeeee using composition notebooks as art journals ❤❤❤ thanks for this creative moment with you my friend ❤ xx
I firmly believe that whatever the project, using a composition book for it makes it better, lol 📓
Robin Williams was such a great loss..... It's unbelievable how much paint will stay in the bristels... I had never thought about how much paint is wasted when washing out a brush. Loved spending time with you today. Catherine
So true, a gifted, generous and gentle genius gone too soon. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my composition (and steno) books of "unwasted paint" and can't wait to start doodling and mark making in them. It won't be long and there'll be a flip-through of them, and I'm jazzed to bring that to the channel. Thank you for hangin' out here for a bit 🤓
Ugh…adulting! How it interferes with playtime! Great video that inspired me. I mainly have used my composition book to use up paint on the brushes but intentionally laying it down to create background pages is a great idea and a good, non-threatening place to experiment with mark making and the next steps. People (me in the past) tend to look at a whole page like yours and wonder what they could do with it but looking at small sections and how one could use them in other pieces is the key. Making various sized cut out “windows” and moving them around really gives one new eyes with which to see the possibilities. I would love to see your “next steps” in a future video. Tfs
You're SO right making little window of scrap cardboard or heavy paper is such a great way to see things anew. And yes!!! non-threatening, no-stress way to play with color and mark-making...it's all just paper and there's no way to do it "wrong". Thanx for spending some time here, always great to see you 🤓📓
Hey there Ker! 💚💜🖤 Awww look at all those little paw prints on the fabric - looks SO good! That tag from your Boston socks worked awesome as a stencil. 😍 I just love the fluidity and looseness you create painting with the fun sprays, it looks magical. I was so surprised to see how much the coffee spray lightened the next day. These are fun fun fun! Sending lots of love and hugs to you and Bitsy from Sophia and I! 🐶💕🌈🌿
So was I (surprised how much lighter it was the next day--yikes!!) Though I think, in the future, I'll coffee dye the fabric first, then do the prints, rather than having to do them twice 🤷🏻♀️ I agree, they're magical between the colors and that they're paw prints, I just want to frame them and oogle them all day long, lol. Sending you and Sophia loads of PAWSitivity and puppy love 🐾🌈💫
Just the most fun. Play freely.
Absolutely! So fun Hope all is well with/for you 🌼
So true!! Just a bunch-o-fun!! 📓🌈 Hope all is well with and for you 🌼
Cool way to cart your book around Ker 🤗 and keep your place 👍📚🌞
They've come in so "HAND"y 😂🤣😂🤓
I did something similar in my altered book (vid to follow some day), and really enjoyed the process. Fun to just paint. Yours turned out super! Love the use of neon. TFS!
What's the title of the vid? I'd love to check it out. (beware: I've found that YT gets all kinds of cranky if you put the link in 🙄) Yesss! The neons just send me, lol
@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol It's not up yet. Probably a week from Monday. I have quite a few videos waiting in the "queue." The title is "A BIG Altered Book, Part 39." Can you stand the anticipation??? 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome pages as always I have paint but don't use it. But I might have to get then out because it looks like fun.
Ohhhhh yes, DO get them out and have some fun with them. It has been loads of entertainment moving colors all over the pages 🤓
This was so cool to watch!!! I’ll definitely be trying this!
Ohhh! Big fun, good for you 🤩 I love how they turned out. I can't remember if I said this in the video, but my YT friend Jeanne Baney sewed each one of the pages into a cover (vs. gluing them together as I did here) so there are always options. And I love me a gooooood themed project, lol Thanx so much for stoppin' in for a bit and hangin' out here with us 🤓🌊
I saw a greeting card a few months ago in Dollar Tree with a picture of clearly a Frenchie and the card had a greeting regarding a Pug. I have a Pug and that was not a Pug it was a Frenchie.🤦♀️
Frustrating isn't it??? If only everyone were DOG enthusiasts and knew what the 😤 they're talking about 😂🤣😂
Absolutely love your washi and it looks so fab in a journal too ❤
So glad you like it, it does come in handy and dresses up pages so easily and fast. Super fun project. 💜🐾
Oh this is so cute 💜
Another one of those couch-crafts, low-energy-but-still-creating projects. I've used them forever. 🤓📚
Ker what an amazing set of paw prints you have created, each different. So lovely to watch you experiment. Bits and Freddie definitely approve 🐾🐾
Paw prints just make me happy. Especially bright and fun colored paw prints. Thank you so much for the idea, having so much fun with it! 🐾💜
Love how your painty paw prints came out on the fabric 🐾🌈🐾Looks great❣️
Thank you my friend!🐾💜
What a great idea using that label from the socks for a stencil. Amy always has such nice ideas. These paw prints are fabulous! Wow, I loved watching the paint spread as you put it down. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see how you will use these. Have a great week. Catherine
Hahhaha, isn't it!!?? I wish I had thought of it myself, lol. I am still pondering how I will put them to use. I may just frame and hang them, they just make me smile. Thanx so much for hagin' out here for a bit, always good to see you 🤓
