Crafty Friends, there are so many wonderful ideas/suggestions/questions for placing the elastic! Please check out the comments for some of those alternatives, or if you want to try something different from the way I’ve shown in the video, please feel free to experiment/tweak the design to make it work for you. No need to ask, “can I do this”.. if you can think it, my friend, you can do it. HAPPY CRAFTING😀😀
I am officially in love with the posh paper lady! There I have told the world ! She had me at making fancy journals. I can’t wait to make these for even people on the naughty list this Christmas! Thank you so much for being a fabulous creative soul and teacher!
I was on the edge of my seat waiting for how you handle the elastic strap. This project costs less than $2, and look how elegant it is. I will make journals for me and for gifts. Great idea, well taught. Thank you, Sherry.
All I can say is, Wow !! I’m so amazed at how beautiful you made these journals. I’m a newbee in crafting, & I love this idea. Where can I find the spatula, poker thing, & the tapes you used? Thank you for taking the time to share your beautiful gift ideas with us! I deeply appreciate you 🥰🦋💕🌹!!
I can't begin to tell you how grateful for your tutorial on journals. I haven't been on your channel or anyone else's for quite sometime. I had covid for 5 weeks, then we lost my sister unexpectedly, i lost interest in ev everything, then i watched your channel and you inspired me, again. Thank you 🧚♂️
I saw those notebooks and thought they were nicely made. But I couldn’t figure out how to take them up a notch. You figured it put and they are perfect. Thank you.
I went to Hobby Lobby to get my journals. Dollar Tree didn't have any more. I found them on clearance for $1.49 so I considered it a win. I am making 5 of them for a sweet friend and her family. They made a difficult move and are now looking for a new home. Parents are doing OK, but the 4 Littles are do not understand the entire situation.
I really love the color coordination of the spine and the paper you selected to use for this project. It makes the finished journal look better than a high- end journal. I’m just blown away with all your beautiful creations. I ordered the file folders (and a few other items) to make the planner and notepad. I can’t wait to start on that one. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time teaching us how to make new things and the best part is we never know from day to day what the next amazing project will be.
Oh No! I was just watching your video & was trying to find something to write the saying about Bloom as if…bc I always tell ppl to bloom where they’re planted. Then I lost you! So yes, I’m Very New to RUclips, can you tell? ! lol! I found you finally in the Library! Yay! Thank you Jesus! I’m excited about watching what you can teach me! I’m 64 years young, but, I haven’t crafted anything in years. I’m trying to find something to get my “creative juices” flowing again. So, I’m Pleased to meet you! God Bless you & your family! Much Love to you & yours! 🤗❤️🥰
I am always amazed how your creations turn out so polished and neat. Lol mines never turn out this beautiful.. but I'm so addicted to making journals because of you. Thank you for sharing this wonderful craft!!
What a great way to turn something plain into something spectacular! These are going to make great Christmas gifts this year.... Thank you as always....
I'm a writer, so I always have a notebook in my bag (you never know when inspiration will strike). I've often found nice notebooks that just look fugly, so I've not bought them, despite the good quality... I'm going to be getting these in the future, and make them fit my style. Thanks for this tutorial, I don't know why I never considered doing this.
I love your perfectionism. I was raised by a perfectionist mother who served in WW2. Her motto was do it right the first time and no one will have to try to fix your mistakes. I'm so happy you stripe matched the 'blocked line' inside covers. It looked perfect and professional. Also loved the way you described your tools by proper name and usage. This is my first viewing of any of your lessons. I thank you very much for sharing your skills and talents. I can't wait to watch more. Much thanks and blessings.
Very nice! I so appreciate your tutorials as they're inspirational and easy to follow. Also, I like seeing the tools and papers that you use but there's no pressure to use the same things, but rather to use what I already have. Keep up the great work sharing your gifts and heart. You are a blessing!
I love everything you make, but this has really taken my breath away for how beautiful it came out. Thank you for sharing with all your wonderful ideas. FYI to everyone-You can buy a case of 24 journals from DT.
Wow, those are beautiful! Could you glue the elastic inside the back cover before you add the checked liner, so that the liner page would cover the glued-down elastic? I love how you explain the tools you use and make it look so easy. And can I say I love your blue manicure? Lovely presentation!
Beautiful journals! I have a nurse friend having a birthday soon. I think I will make her one as a gift. You always do such fabulous , sophisticated crafting!
I'm starting to think your a mind reader. Was looking to make a journal and here you go. Beautiful crafting by our amazing posh lady. Thank you Sherry. I owe you a coffee or 3 which I'm doing now.
Sheri, ***** Thank you for all your wonderful tutorials. It’s a pleasure to watch and learn. Your tutorials are so special because they are professional, easy to watch, easy to learn, and easy to replicate . Your verbal communication is perfect. Your set up is clean and professional. You are 5*’s plus in all you do and I so appreciate you! 🩷😊
I love everything about your videos and look forward to all of them. It's absolutely amazing how you took a plain journal from Dollar Tree and turned into a journal that is absolutely beautiful. I can see myself trying to make one in the near future. Thank you for your ideas and inspiration. Take care and God Bless.
Lovin that “big ol spatula”, the finger cutter blade I need that, and the wide double sided tape oh my goodness I need that. lol. I just made 40 prayer journals for my bible study class a few weeks ago and all of these tools would have been great! And do they still sell xyrons? Mine is ancient! Will follow your linkies there lady! THANKS, Beautiful journals. Love the paper on the inside.
Those are beautiful journals, thanks for making them look so easy to do. The paper choices are so refreshing, I'd love to see your choice for Winter or Christmas. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much! Peace and Blessings! 🌹❤🌹
Not only are they gorgeous I absolutely love the idea of making them seasonal. Great way to use those 12x12 paper pads we all have. You have such wonderful creative ideas and stunning work. Off to the dollar tree to find these. Thanks again for sharing your fabulous ideas. 😊
I love these and I love the idea of making one for each of the four seasons. I would like to put the four in a set that could be placed on a bookshelf. Do you have a tutorial for an open sided box that could hold them?
I cannot express how deeply I love this project. Another one to add to my list of Posh To Dos. What a truly lovely gift they'll make but first I'll make one for myself. Keep 'em coming, Sherry. 🌹
Hi Sherry. These are super stunning once covered. Love how they all turned out. You are so creative and a really great tutor. Thank you so much for all your hard work that you do on your channel. 💙🤗
My sister and I made something similar years ago when we were into Stampin' Up! Yours are more affordable and, in my opinion, more elegant looking. Ours used Dollar Tree composition books and we stamped our cover pages. We used strips of a velvety paper to cover the spine. We didn't do anything pretty on the inside at all. We also made our embellishments with ink, stamps, embossing powders etc. Love your channel! You've reignited one of my creative interests, that I thought to be long ago faded. Thank you, sincerely. ❄️🌺🌻🍁🤟
This is so amazing, I was just lying in bed not feeling well today thinking about Dollar Tree notebooks and here you go Ms Sherry with a solution. Tyfs 😊❤️ Hopefully my DT has those when I can get someone to go for me I'm not able to go.
A wonderful tutorial!! This looks like a very high-end journal book. Perfect for those girlfriends that you don't know what to give them for their birthdays. Be safe!!
Hello Beautiful Queen, you're always blessing me with another creative ideal for me to give a try love them all the colors ate beautiful. Blessings and Grace be with you
Sherry, I could EASILY spend my entire day just watching all your videos. This is a wonderful, gorgeous project. My sister lives with her son & 5 grandchildren, and they, unfortunately are NOT grateful kids. My sister has had each one since birth & does everything for them and the kids do nothing to help. So, they think Aunt Nanci (me) is the mean sister, because I would never put up with how they are. I am going to make each one of them one of these 'gratitude' journals so they have to actually THINK about all they have & all their grandmother does for them. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful & inspirational talents with us. Hugs & Love :)
Thanks Nanci. Sorry to hear about your sister’s experience…that is so unfortunate. I hope things improve for her. Thank you so much for all of your support😀
You are such A talented lady, I have only just found you but I surely will be watching you as much as possible. Thank you for sharing your God given talents
Sherry, you are so creative in making items that are so "the norm" into designer like items! I have observed after following you on your channel, you can look at various everyday pick me up items and see how they can be crafted to have that professional and gorgeous "elite" look at a fraction of a dollar once completed! Thank you for making anything that looks hard so easy! May God bless you! see how it can you can
You are indeed the best efficient thorough tutorial instructor that I have ever watched... and I have watched a lot of tutorials. Thank you and GOD bless you.
Those journals are beautiful! You do such nice and perfect work. Love your beautiful nails! Not only do I like to watch your tutorials, but I enjoy hearing your sweet voice.

What a beautiful way to dress up a journal!!! Thanks Sherry ❤️
Thank you so much Joanne!
That is a great idea! I love re-purposing things to make them more appealing.
I love making journals. This is so much easier to do than what I was doing. I gotta get a sticker maker. I love this project.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful journals, you have done it again with the Dollar Tree items. Have a beautiful night, stay safe.
Thank you Maria!!!1

Hello, I looked for these on the DT website and could not find them. Is it possible to provide a link? Thanks 😊
I am amazed at how you can look at something plain and just know how to transform it into something wonderful and functional.
Thank you Rebecca!
Wow, those are beautiful! Could you glue the elastic inside the back cover before you add the checked liner, so that the liner page would cover the glued-down elastic? I love how you explain the tools you use and make it look so easy. And can I say I love your blue manicure? Lovely presentation!
