Your journal has a cool 1950s vibe! Thank you for sharing because I’m planning to make a surprise junk journal for my sister using a ring binder. This is helpful. 😊
I’m considering doing that. I don’t have another garden binder but I have several cookbook binders. I could follow the same format. Thanks for your kind comment. 😊
I have an old cookbook binder that's just taking up space in my kitchen, I'd LOVE a tutorial to transform it into something I'll actually use. ❤️😎 @@AmiRuth_Treasures
What a nostalgic journey. The yellow fold up card you showed might have been from a company name Current, who in the 70s and 80s offered hundreds of charming stationary items. I loved their catalog and still run cross, in my stash, assorted note cards, etc. Really enjoyed this journal video.
Beautiful and fun. I personally don’t like ringbinding, but this is ofcouse just so much easier to work with. It’s easy to and change, as your garden grows. Good job!!
I’ve seen a few journal makers using this particular garden book/binder to create journals from. I’m pleased because I bought this book and used it as my gardening reference book when I first married and through the years! It helped me grow that part of my life! I still have it. Yours turned out beautifully! :) Thx for sharing with us.☘️💚
These older binders are so beautiful. They can be intimidating to get started on, but I’m so glad I did. Thanks for subscribing! I have so much more to share!
This is beautiful! I don’t know how you can even consider selling it…lol. I have one of the old cookbooks like this that was my mama’s. You’ve given me the idea to do this with it. She loved to cook and made little notes in it; plus I have a lot of her old handwritten recipes I could add. I’ve been wanting to do something in memory of her and your video has answered that…thank you!
Oh that makes my heart so happy that I was an inspiration. I wish I had more of my mom’s handwritten recipes. Those are such sweet memories. I have a cookbook binder journal I will show soon. Hopefully that will give you even more ideas.
@@AmiRuth_Treasures oh I’d love to see your cookbook journal. Cooking and sewing were the things I remember the most beyond her unconditional love and support. She always tried to involve me in cooking, canning, writing recipes, etc. Sewing was a no show for me unless I had to stand still for measurements…lol. She made most of my baton and skating outfits.
Awwww. Thank you for saying that. I have always hated the sound of my voice until recently. I have finally accepted it and it’s allowed me to start this channel. You are an encouragement. 🥰
So glad I stumbled across this video! I recently acquired the same garden book - I love it and I love how you altered it. I wouldn’t have the heart to change the cover either. Beautiful as is! You’ve got a new subscriber here ❤😊
Inspired! Bought one of these better homes and gardens binders on eBay and am now flexing to start one. I have a ton of garden themed scrapbook papers in my stash!
Hey Meg! I love your channel. Your style is so much like mine! It means a lot to me as a newbie at making videos, that you would comment and subscribe. Thank you so much!
Aww. I love that. I will be showing more in the coming days and weeks. Turn on your bell notification for my channel and you’ll see when I post a new video. 🥰
This is so pretty! I've been looking for this binder, but the ones I've seen are either too expensive, or really trashed. Someday I will find one, and hope it turns out half as pretty as yours.
Awww you are so kind. Thank you. I think I found mine at half price books in Dallas. It was worth whatever I paid for it. They are really hard to find. Hoping you can find one too!
I am so happy this popped up in my feed today. I love this garden journal so much. You have given me so many great ideas to add in my second journal I am in the process of making. I have the Betty Crocker binder cookbook from 1974 that I received as a wedding gift from my first marriage that I would love to do something like this. Thanks again for so much inspiration. Subbed and liked also. Have a great day.
Wonderful! I have some cookbook binders that I’m considering making a tutorial with. That would be fun! My fingers are itching to get into some yummy paper. 😂 Thanks so much for watching, liking, and subscribing. It means so much.
Lovely project! And so fun that your embellishment (pink flower) matched the project! I thought the incorporated envelope was an especially nice touch.
@@AmiRuth_Treasures*IT CAME YESTERDAY. I've been so busy, I haven't done an unboxing yet. Can't wait to see the condition of the pages. Thx for the inspiration!*
@@AmiRuth_Treasures*I have SO MANY questions! I really wish you had a step-by-step of yours. I did watch your inspiration, Gale, but I find yours much closer to what I'd like. I'm not sure what I want to do. Been looking at vids looking for something to turn my idea light bulb on.😉😂.*
@@CrystalVanner I found another Garden journal in my stash! I can do a tutorial of it. It will take some time because I have a few other projects ahead. I’m looking forward to making another one.
It’s so easy. I’m kinda impatient and I live in the south, so with the humidity it takes forever to dry. I just stick it in the oven with the card stock. It comes out darker at first and then as I reuse the card stock it gets lighter. And it’s fast! Thank you for watching! 😃
@@AmiRuth_Treasures don’t know if you can be any “souther” or more humid than Baton Rouge , LA but baking is necessary especially in summer which starts next week. Thanks for the reply.😊
It was such a blessing to find this video. I’m not artistic naturally so I try to find inspiration online that clearly shows me what to do. I bought a couple of these type of gardening binder books and was about to give up on figuring out if I could make them into a journal! How inspiring! Loved every page. Are you in Louisiana? Me, too! I love my beautiful home state.
Yes! I’m from Southwest Louisiana. What area of the state are you from? I love that you found my channel. It makes my heart happy that you enjoyed my Garden Book journal. Stick around and turn on the bell notifications and you’ll see more coming. Love all my Louisiana folks. ❤️
Northeast Louisiana- diagonal to you! I’m really looking forward to following your channel and learning more journaling skills. My son encouraged me to try new things by calling them skill builders- so I am finding great teachers all over the internet. Look at this book! The 1974 edition. There are never coincidences-just God’s incidents!😊
Beautifully done! Is it difficult sewing different thicknesses of paper together? I want to try it, but I'm a little nervous, too. I just found you. Liked and subscribed. I am looking forward to learning more from you 😊.
Thank you for subscribing!! I always try a test paper through my machine before I sew on my nice papers. It’s just a trial and error kind of thing. Don’t be afraid to try new things. 💖

Love the book but did it come with the rings like that
Yes. And I made a template to punch holes for all the extra pages.
I went to a book sale today and I got a garden book, to yeah for a 1.00
Hey I have a question my new garden book has a hard piece of plastic in the ring part did you take that out
Mine has it too and I left it in there.
@@AmiRuth_Treasures it is hard to turn the page right
Mine seems ok. I’m just careful when I turn them.
Do you have a video on the blue paper?
No, but I can put it in my list of videos to make. 👍🏻
