Yes, I've learned through trial and error as well that vellum doesn't like matte medium lol! It's a stubborn paper :) loved the journal sesh. Thanks for sharing with us, sweet Ali!
Oh my goodness! It was so hard to work with. Never again! haha!!!! Good to 'see' ya on here Mandi Lady!!! Hope to really see you soon on our hangout this month. :) xoxo
I am a fairly new subscriber. You have inspired me so much! I am currently still binge watching all your videos. Thank you for being so honest and open about everything. 💜💜💜
Happy Birthday, Ali!! I love this video, and I LOVE how you used your own music in the background! I actually started singing along with the music, while remembering your voice that I certainly don't even come close to comparing too lol.
Hi Ali ... I have watched a bunch of your videos and I have a quick question (for now - probably more later!) ... I see that you write in your journal first and then paint over it later. What pen/ink do you use that allows you to paint over it without smearing? Also, what sort of paper is it? I always paint my pages first and then write on them 2nd but I think your method seems better. I am often delayed in my writing because I have to do the painting first and I can't be spontaneous -- does that make sense? Thanks! Mary
Ali, would you ever film a video of you journaling in your A6 junk journal insert? I have one (same size) and am in need of inspiration of how to use it.
I could probably do that. I am still milling over what to do with my 'bits' that I've hoarded for so long...so let me cook up somethin' and keep an eye out. :)
Happy Birthday Ali. Many blessings to you. BTW you had me googling reasons for turtle sneezes since this is not the first video I heard you mention it. Be careful that it is not a respiratory infection. Don't mean to be downer. However, there are also other reasons they sneeze.
Eversew139 Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for being so kind to research about my tortoise!!! We figured it out! 🙌🏼 We had switched to a different substrate thinking he would like to dig since they are dessert tortoises...but it's just too dusty for him. Sooo, we are putting birdseed (the tiny little ball kind) as his new substrate. It will give him the feeling like he's in sand (because he loves to dig 😂) but won't be so dusty. Thanks so much for all your love and concern! ❤️
I was getting worried, i hadn't seen a journaling video in a while...Thanks for posting one I love them!! You need to open up some more spots in your $20 Pattern!!! Pretty please.. Any whoo thanks for sharing Ali
I'm so sorry! I can't open up more spots. I'm actually going to wean them down. The time it takes to curate is many hours and that's hours away from making videos. So I'm trying to make the best choice for my viewers too. Thank you so much for watching and you can get more tutorials and journaling videos at the $12 level if you're interested. :)
New subbie here...love journal with me videos...glad I found yours...looking forward to seeing more...until then, I'll be going back to watch all the others...gotta catch up...thanks for sharing:)
I just love your style! How cool! Im watching this is 2017 and its almost your Birthday, (which happens to be my father in laws too!) Happy 35 Sister! GBY!
Happy belated birthday! It must be a good day for a birthday as my mom has the same day as hers. 🎂 Which pen did you use to write on your picture? Think you mentioned it in another video.

Ali! Gorgeous video as always. Would you mind checking out my first video of a journal flip through? I mentioned how you are one of my inspirations! My journaling wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for you. 😊
So completely honored that you mentioned me in your video. I love your journaling style and you gave me idea for how to use all my 'bits' that I've been hoarding. Haha!!! Thank you so so much for your love! xoxo
30's are the best years. Enjoy! And Happy Birthday!
That insert! The paper looks so soft and light. Loved this video, Ali. I love the way you put this one together.
Yes! I have literally watched all your videos this week... thanks for sharing!
Oh wow! Thank you for all the LOVES!!! xoxo

Happy Birthday, Ali!! I love this video, and I LOVE how you used your own music in the background! I actually started singing along with the music, while remembering your voice that I certainly don't even come close to comparing too lol.
That's so cool!!! Should have had a bouncing ball with words at the bottom of the screen. haha! ;)
Fun to watch. Turned out pretty. Happy Be-lated Birthday! (Mine was on Oct. 27th! ) TFS! :) ♡

I know this is an old video but I am rewatching them and am curious what inks you use for lettering in the beginning, it is so so pretty!
Another Corker of inspiration "à la Ali' style...lové!!

I use bulldog clips when my pages are wet and warping too much in my hobonichi. I bet that would help. Clip then down until its dry.
LOL!!! Love the ending with your man!!! Another great video 😂😂
Thank you!!! He's such a goober!!! haha!

is the music you too ali? what a creative wonder woman!
Yes ma'am! It's my song on the intros of the videos and I have an EP album out on iTunes if you want to check it out. It's called "True Food."
Great video; thanks for sharing. Which cannon pixma printer did you get? TIA.
I have the MG 7220 :)
Thanks Ali; is this the printer that you were able to print inserts out on? I am struggling with my printer as it does not print double sided.
love your videos :-)
Like it.
moving where?
when i put clear gesso on my pages, it's very rough, is that normal?
Hi robincasey,
Yes it is normal. Lots of texture.
You're moving?
Ali! Gorgeous video as always. Would you mind checking out my first video of a journal flip through? I mentioned how you are one of my inspirations! My journaling wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for you. 😊

maybe it needs less pages in an insert
I also got that gun and it's to bulky not working
That's a bummer!!! I took mine back! :)
