    Something about this page really speaks to me - I love it!! I've always had trouble sleeping--sometimes I would only sleep every third or fourth night. The rest of the time my brain was like a hamster in a cage! Now I use a muscle relaxant that gives me lots of deep sleep but doesn't make you feel hungover the next day and is still working after taking every night for about four years!! I have chronic pain, so it's very important to have that deep sleep.

    I love the mini-collages. I've never been able to wrap my brain around a large collage but this makes sense to me. This page is beautiful.

    Nik would you believe that I never thought to use all my 12x12 this way! Make a layout first then add it to the book! Genius!! That’s why all these videos are so important. These tips help me enjoy my hobby!!

    I just wanted to give you Nik, a quick thank you. I am just in my very bitty early days of junk journaling. I am still in the research stage. I have watched a TON of videos and channels. You my friend are my fav. Your tutorials and flip thrus are amazing. Your personality is fun and entertaining as well. I cannot wait to take a stab at this art form with your voice guiding me every step of the way.

    One time I was making an envelope out of a book page. I spent a good hour, piece of vintage lace I held onto for ever, sewed on it, etc, Probably the best thing I ever created .. just when I was ready to attach to the journal one of the most offensive 4 letter words EVER was staring back at me. I couldn't believe it. Needless to say I scan ever book page I use 😄. Love your work, one of your biggest fans!

    Hi NIk! I really enjoy watching you make pages (and am using your techinques i.e. Franken pages -- love them!) and have purused all you journals. So awesome! Today, in honor of you, I went to Michaels with a 50% off coupon and bought some Fabri-Tac. Keep the vids coming--you are my latest addiction, so, ya know, I need them!

    Just wanted to share a tip.... I got really cheesed off buying expensive inking applicators, and couldn't afford the new Distress Ink Blender Brush from Ranger. So I bought some inexpensive make up brushes and use those! I love them, the effects can be as subtle or full on as you like. And a set of 3 from EBay for 99p didn't break the bank! And once again, I love your work, Nik. Not to mention your vids! 👍🏽🎈

    As always, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. This one really struck a chord with me. You picked just the sweet babies I had my eye on in the pile and I don’t get much sleep lately either. My brain feels the need to solve world problems once I lay down in bed. You always make me laugh, too. Blessings!

    • @NiktheBooksmith
      @NiktheBooksmith  6 лет назад

      Then its confirmed, those were the sweet babies to pick! ;) I think that's half my problem, too..."oh, are you tired? ok, then let's dredge up everything you've done wrong over the past decade and try to solve world peace. GO!"

    I'm glad I found your channel. You are so positive and funny. This page you did for this video is wonderful. I love how simple and original it is. I'm not a fan of quotes but you did not get preachy in your design. I guess I should also mention I am a BIG fan of the vintage look.

  • @sandracapps5543
    @sandracapps5543 3 года назад

    I love this page...especially the torn button card. Collage is my weak(?) point. But I absolutely love collage. I guess I am just afraid to try. Actually, no guessing. I AM afraid to try. However, you have just encouraged me to make the effort. I CAN learn to do this!

    That page came so lovely...I've not done a "quote collage" Nik style, but I am now. What a beautiful piece you made and no wet mediums to fuss with, so its a great style to do if I want to journal but don't want to lug everything out. Thanks Nik! Gail

    I've done that - put my husband in another line only to have the cashier ask me..."are you with that guy"...
    Does it matter Hobby Lobby? I'm here buying half your store - again!!! Anyway, you make me laugh Nik, you really do. Your funny little things you say or the way you say them. This is the last hour of the day and you made me smile. Alright, the last hour was an hour ago...the first hour of the day but its still dark out.
    I love your little collages. I'm making a travel journal for a friend going to Italy. Can't wait to make an actual jj. This is my first journal EVAH, everything distressed and coffee dyed. I'll show it on FB. I hope she likes it cause I have no idea what I'm doing. But thanks to you and your tutorials, I'm doing it. Thanks Bee for being here... nite

    • @NiktheBooksmith
      @NiktheBooksmith  6 лет назад +1

      yes, just do one page, then you'll be hooked! If you build the collage outside the book, you can get it just right before it goes in. Less pressure that way =)

    Awwwww this is such a sweet layout!!! I love vines, but I sure do hate kudzu. Beautiful vine ribbon. 💖 That Gothic Tim Holtz stencil makes a gorgeously dainty print. I hope you get some snow for your mountains. I wish I could send you some of our frost before it kills our spring flower buds and blooms-since frost is a little bit of water, not to kill your buds and blooms. TFS 💖💕💕💕

    Hi Nik! Love your collage page, it's so PRETTY! I need to get back to some journal/collage/scrapbooking; actually it was the first ART project I ever LOVED in Art class in HS! I'm there man- "curse of the light sleeper" syndrome I am lucky to get in 5 broken hours before the alarm clock goes off at 5 am. I think I sleep better on the weekends knowing I can ignore the blasted clock!! (I'm happy if I get 2 hours of solid sleep) LOVE your style- I work in vintage mode when I think Journal ((())) hugs Kat! ps- Awesome Booksmith challenge! wish I was in!!! pss I love KINDNESS!!!

    The glue is still cheaper by the case than with the coupon (I checked!) lol - I want to know how many of those inker tools you go through in a year distressing everything! Beautiful page! I am a card carrying member of the insomnia club. I go to sleep anywhere, anytime, but I can never stay asleep. Pain wakes me up - always. When I am alert enough to realize that I am awake, I use that time to pray for everyone else who is awake at that time of the night. So...you are in my prayers! :)

    I love this quote & am finding the series v enjoyable. Re; sleep, I have a medical condition which causes insomnia & some of the drug-free things my doctors have recommmended to help are - get some exercise in the fresh air during the day; establish a calming routine in the evenings which doesn't involve work or using electronics & which includes things like a warm bath (not hot) & a glass of milk (no dairy-free milk, only if you can have cow's milk), as it contains a naturally occurring chemical which promotes sleep & lastly, a guided self-hypnosis CD for sleep (they can take practice to be effective) made by a proper hypnotherapist. Good luck :)

    Hi Nik love the page & saying. Your sleeping pattern may need a change. Like, don't look at emails at night, you're mind's working overtime reading & taking in info, then when you wanna sleep, you're in overdrive. Read them first up, if you can & leave nights to relax a bit. Just thought I'd throw that in. Give it a try for a while & see if you can sleep better.

      I just have something I need to ask. You have almost 9,000 views but only 555 likes. We won't go with the cruel and no sense in the dislikes. Really people you don't like it just move on. Don't be cruel. Anyway to the question; how hard is it to click like? You spent a lot of time doing this video. It takes a second to at least click the like button. Just saying.
