Hi! I'm Christine, a pathetically uncool but alarmingly passionate maker of things. Mostly journally things from actual books to vintage relics and replicas. Discover easy and fun techniques to help you create your own art books, junk journals and ephemera-plus who knows what else!-that evoke memory and hint of rich secret histories and mythic yet perhaps ordinary lives. I look forward to getting to share this journey with you.
Some of my videos are tutorials or flip-throughs for original journal and ephemera kits I design. If you're interested, you can find them here: sparkbirdstudios.etsy.com

I absolutely LOVE yhis idea !!! Are you using the jumbo or regular size paper clips for this one? I am dying to try making them !!! I just found you (from Cori's channel) , so im quite late to the game !
These are very cool. TFS.
I feel everyone watching probably has a cat brush. Including me. 😊
I have been binging your videos recently and cant wait to get started on a curved spine junk journal soon. I love how your bread journal came out… Could you tell me where you got the paper that you used on the first pocket page? It's like a denim blue on the back and then a very delicate blue/green vine on the front. I've been to your Etsy shop, hoping that you sold that digital kit, but I can't find it. It is so beautiful. Thanks!
🥰🥰🥰
These really are fabulous! Thank you for all the little tips. I love the color edges. They really do make them look old. So glad you’re taking the time to rest your hands. I hope they’re starting to get better. Love and light ❤️🤗
How fab is this ledger! 🤩Another amazing little project that makes our lives easier. You are always great for helping us like that 😂. Another wonderful inspiration! Love and light ❤️🤗
How awesome! 🤩 Very nice idea. Some how I stopped getting notified of your videos. I was wondering what happened to Christine. Now I need to play catch up. 😂 Hope you are doing well. I took off notifications and turned back on. Love this scrappy idea! Love and light ❤️🤗
💜I wondered about your as well. Life here remains manic and mysterious - just the way I like it. I'll try to post more regularly again. The first month of the year proved both challenging and rewarding - but honestly, more challenging 🤣
Thank you so much for the calculation you use to reduce the sizes of your kits, I can't wait to make some of my book boxes into minis! ❤
😍😍😍
Such a beautiful gift from your late aunt, my condolences to you and your cousin. It would be a lovely tribute to make a journal with your aunt's laces and trims, I think she would be with you every step of the way. She certainly had a keen eye for beautiful objects and an amazing talent with the beautiful things she made ❤😇💜
So beautiful and professional - I'm learning so much from you! Thanks!! 🙂
Utterly fascinating!!
Can we buy these from you directly?? Thanks 💙
Do you mean the kits? Or finished journals? Kits are available both at Etsy - sparkbirdstudios.etsy.com or more directly through me at www.ko-fi.com/sparkbirdstudios
Will this stick to acrylic or glass sheets
Good question. I can't say for sure. I've not tried it on either of those surfaces.
Brilliant design!! These are endlessly fascinating!! Thank you 🙂
Love these! Must try.
Brilliant!
Beautiful!! I love it and can see how you could obsess on making these!! ❤❤❤
Love these! I’ll watch the full tutorial. Thank you ❤
You have managed to make them look like the real deal. Bravo!
What is that chomper corner rounder? Is chomper the brand? Love this book. Can't wait to make. Thank you for sharing!
This is the one I'm using - by We R Memory Keepers - www.amazon.com/We-Memory-Keepers-Corner-Chomper/dp/B0024M5GH4 (not an affiliate link) Happy creating!!
@@sparkbirdstudios Bought a pair. Love them! Nothing beats a rounded corner :)
For the colored page edges, you could also use watercolor or ink with a brush. Tap the brush on a rag or paper towel to remove some of the excess liquid. No paint on the clamps!
I love this! I ordered the gaffer's tape, but in the meantime, I deconstructed a composition notebook to cut down and use for the cover base.
This is such a sweet little ledger book! I’ll be making some of these and thank you for creating the kit! ❤
Brilliant! Love you tips as well. Using the sticker backing paper is such a great idea.
Love it. You are so creative!
That is the coolest box I have seen in a long time! I love them!
Awesome! Just love ledgers! Great video! ❤
Oh my gosh ! With your great instructions, I have made 3 books since yesterday ! hahahahaa Big hugs.
Love these! Thank you for the tutorial and added "learn do's and don'ts". Splendid.
Oh my goodness these are amazing! Thank you for sharing your do's and don'ts, it really helps me to understand why sometimes a different approach is needed! Beautiful ledgers! ❤❤❤
So very clever!! TFS!! 💜💜💜
This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you're back! I've missed your videos! You are so creative!! 💜💜💜
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
Your box of lace is absolutely stunning! 😍 I have so much lace and ribbons stored on carded bobbins, but they’re kept in a closed plastic storage crate. Seeing your arrangement has inspired me to display my stash in a way that makes it more accessible and turns it into a work of art. 🎨 Thank you for the inspiration! ❤
Loved this Idea! Thanks for sharing!❤🎉
Why not just use a chisel edged marker to color the edges/sides?
Great tips! luv these ledger journals! TY!❤
You’re very welcome!
love these tas
Love this. The scrappy wallpaper idea is wonderful.
I am in love with these ledgers! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! Happy creating!
Just found your chanel and i'm so glad i did. I loved this tutorial so much! I have subscribded and look forward to watching more from you. I have trouble with my hands as i have Neuropathy. Although i find tasks difficult and get annoyed with myself i get things done in the end. My crafting is what keeps me sane in this crazy world we live in. <3
You go sister! Chronic pain of any kind is such a drag. I never expected anything could slow me down but at least it's not stopping us right? Glad you're here!
New subbie here - so glad I found your channel!! I LOVE your work! My brain is exploding with so many ideas and inspirations 🙂
Reading that (the brain explosions) makes. my. day. Truly.
I have the same sewing machine that you mentioned. I didn't know it could sew this many pages. If the seam gets wonky, put the signature under the foot, then lay down some washi tape as an edge guide - on the right-hand side - on your machine. Then, use that as a guide.
Thanks Diane. The most I've asked of the machine is 15 sheets copy paper plus one 32# sheet. I get the first stitches going manually and then let it rip. Using a heavy duty or denim needle. Thanks for the washie tape idea!
@@sparkbirdstudios I've begun making videos, initially for Facebook. I sent you a link but wasn't aware you were on hiatus. Enjoy your day!
I agree about not using a metal ruler with a rotary cutter. Invest in an acrylic ruler like quilters use. They come in many sizes, and make cutting perpendicular to the surface much easier. Also, try not to “saw” with the blade. Just start at the bottom and make one long cut pushing away from yourself. An acrylic ruler will make this so much easier. Love your instructions!
Great advice! I'll definitely try these tips. Thank you!
What kind of corner punch are you using Please?
She has the We R Memory Keepers "Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper hope that helps.
Thanks Terrie for helping out here! ❤️
Wow! These were awesome tips. I was doing other things as I listened, but then I had to watch it with full attention. I picked up some great information and tips! Thank you so much for your time and talent. Be especially blessed. ❤
You’re very welcome! It’s so nice to hear that you got so much out of the video!
