Wow Angela you have made the binding really easy- I must admit I was dreading the binding process as I alway struggle and end up making an awful mess of things. But I am pleased to say I did it. It might not be perfect but I am pleased with it. I think I may have gotten a few of the pages out of order but hey it’s bound! Looking forward to adding the last few page decorations. Thank you so much ❤️🌻❤️
You have done brilliantly!! Well done. Don’t worry about the page order. If they are in, it is a job well done. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️💗🎀🎄

Oh, Angela! This journal is just so stunning. Thank you for the wonderful instructions on the cover wrapping and adding in the pages. From your kits, page ideas and soft voice, all is perfect! Thank you so very much.
Always welcome, Sonja! Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments! So pleased you have enjoyed this tutorial. ☺️🌸🌼💗💛🎀
Hello Angela, the journal is gorgeous. I would buy it from you if I could, it has all my favorite colors - blue, green and yellow. It's super chilly here today, only 45 degrees for the high today. I guess I'll only be watching one or two more videos, then I'll not be watching the Xmas stuff, but will see you again next year. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Thank you so much, Becky! So glad you enjoyed the Sunflower journal. It is chilly here you! I guess Winter is on its way. Hugs and smiles, Angela ☺️🌸💗🎀🦋

This turning out so pretty. I've enjoyed every suteo.
Thank you so much Terry! So pleased you have enjoyed this one. 🎀🦋💗🌸☺️
ITS FABULOUSIE!!! Miss A … very happy indeed with the result. Just one quick question please, we had a single botanical page, but I don’t see where it is in the journal, did you decide not to use it ? I’m about to sew in my signature and just wanted to check I had my pages in the correct order, thank you so much and for creating YET another stunning journal, IT’S MAGIC! 🥰🌻❤️🥰
Love how you’ve done the spine Angela, l use sports tape to strengthen the spine for my journals, it’s fabric, sticky and strong too, this journal is gorgeous love it, tfs sweetheart huge hugs x Julie
I love sports tape too. It works brilliantly, Julie! You are spot on there. So pleased you enjoyed this method. Thank you so much for your kind compliments. I am just delighted that you loved this. ☺️🌸🌼🦋💗
Hi Angela! I just rec’d your printed fall kit today in the mail. I love it! The colors are even more beautiful than on camera. Can’t wait to make my journal. Thank you for the sweet note on the back of the pretty tag. And I must say this wall paper you’re using in this journal is gorgeous.
That is fabulous Darlos! So pleased you love it!! You are most welcome! I am so excited for you to start your journal! Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸🍁💗💛🍂🎀
Thank you so much Angela this was so helpful. Do you find it easier to sew in a hidden spine like you just did or just sewing it straight into the Journal? I have never done this type. I also have a question, sort of being nosy lol. Keep this in mind...You know all of us followers look at you as our best friend! What subjects do you teach? I bet you are one of the best teachers in your city!
Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments, Donna! I am so pleased you enjoyed this method. I like to use it for altered book covers. I prefer a hidden sewn in spine, for hard cover journals. You are all my Craft family. So happy to share.
I teach English to 16-19 year olds at college. I do enjoy the subject and the students. I love unlocking their potential. Such a rewarding job. Hugs and smiles ☺️🌸🎀🦋💗
@@AngelaKerrDesigns Thank you Angela! I am going to try the hidden spine with my next altered book cover. :)
Beautiful! I love it. Been practicing sewing pages in as you do so that I can do it neatly when I finish my journal. X
That is a great way to improve your sewing. You will have it right in no time. Well done! 🌸💛☺️💗
I love watching you Angela. Never tried using a book cover but I will save this for a later date. Thank you. What weight of copy paper do you use to print your digital kits out on? 🤗💐
Hello sue! Thank you so much for watching this one. So pleased you have enjoyed it. I use 160 gsm weight or 60 lb weight for all my printing. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️💗🎄🦋
Oh it’s so beautiful! Would you sell it? I could never make such Loveliness!! Do you only sell Digital’s in your Etsy shop?
Hello Linda! I do have a buyer for it already, unfortunately. I do currently only have digitals, but will be adding journals into my Etsy store from January. Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments. Hugs and smiles 🌸☺️🌼🌻🦋
I love this journal theme - it is sure to be exquisite when finished! I am just curious…..what subject do you teach at college?
Thank you Anne! So pleased you like it. I teach English at college. ☺️🌸🦋🎀
@@AngelaKerrDesigns ahhh! I thought English or Math - you do everything with such precision! I can’t seem to perfect the gluing or measuring processes - something always gets messed up! I can’t believe that you glue stuff on top of already finished elements - I would get glue all over everything. I try not to use too much glue, but then I get air bubbly bits. I guess practice makes perfect!
Hi Angela, I'm following you with this kit as well and am enjoying it! One question, where did you get that whale tab punch?
Thank you so much for following along. I bought it long ago from EBay. It is a Stampin up punch. They don’t make them anymore unfortunately. ☺️🌸💗🦋
@@AngelaKerrDesigns Oh no! Thank you for your reply^^
What size is the nook that you used?
The book is an Edith Holden book, which is about 7x9 inches. ☺️🌼🌻🦋💛
