Hi Jennifer, I would love a video on the little folder! But a really useful video would be on the folders you made for the butterflies and photo frames…. While I’m here I might as well ask for a video on how you cut the butterflies out on the scan n cut… 🤗👍🏻💕💕💕 I love all your videos. Thank you
It's so good to see you happy and excited about your created groove 🎉🎊 you made a cute beautiful page Jen and the pocket and pic so awesome Jen of eve design. You deserve a lot for your hard work.
Jennifer's got her groove back....I knew you would...Loving this so far and those little "booklets" are so cute. I'm going with pink I think. Thanks for all you do!
Yes you have found your groove. I love everything you did today. Love the butterfly & key duo. I saw in a video{can't remember who} but she also liked to make the slits for pockets, but she would put a piece of scotch tape on the back of the paper before she made the slit. I've done it both ways & have accidentally ripped the slit that had no tape, so now I tape all of mine. Congrats on your 30 years! Your grandbabies are so cute!! 💜💜💜
Jen you are so adorable! I love listening to you and watching you too! I think you definitely found your groove! I had no doubt you would! The album is already gorgeous! And yes, I want to see how you make the small books! I personally like the one with the green frame on it! The butterflies are gorgeous! Thanks so much for all you do! 💜💜💜
Yes you have found your creative groove. Love the pages today. The one with the butterfly on it, because it has the gold foil on it. Have a great day.. Hugs
I agree I think you have found your groove and boy are we lucky, can't wait for the next video, I love where this is going. Loved your idea for the butterfly using the key was a great idea.
How cute is that butterfly with the key! I'm making a football junk journal while I'm watching this video, wishing I could make some butterflies with keys, but I don't think my grandson would appreciate them. Lol😍🦋🗝️🏈😍
Jen even if I don’t have a particular template of yours, I learn something new every video. Because of watching your videos, I’ve learned to try different colors, designs to make a page look spectacular!! Thank you 💜
Love what you have done thus far on this album. I love that you added the key to the butterfly. Glad that you got your groove back. Some days I know that it is really hard. Do not listen to hateful people most of them are usually jealous because they can't do what you do.
I loved the ideas in this video. I never would have thought to use a key like that. I liked the booklet with the green frame. I am from California and I hope you enjoy your trip to our gorgeous state.
I think I like the one with the blue frame in the booklet. This spread came out so cute! Now I'm going to try and attempt to do the same with what I have available. 🙃😉
Suggestion..put a piece of thin paper between the folded photo mat when you glue it together for more stability at the cut and it will make it easier to put the little photo mats in. Love the idea......
Allis amazing and yes you definitely found your groove and you sound so happy 😀. I’m so happy for you as well as excited for your upcoming trip. I love ❤️ the blue little book and would appreciate it if you can share how you made it. Thank you so much for another great video. 🦋😘🌺
First of all... you watching her videos while you are crafting is the same thing I do watching you while I'm trying to get my "crap room " a little bit more organized... lol... yes it's taking me a while to do it because I get distracted by something you are doing and I'm like "look I gotta try that now " lol.... like with the keys... I'm sure glad you are feeling like you're getting your groove back again... not that I can tell you even lost it... Love, love, love this project so far... Thanks again for sharing your talents with us as always... hugs from Iowa... Congratulations on your anniversary and I hope you have the best time ever in California... drink a little extra wine for me... just saying... lol
I'm 5th generation Petaluman that's sorta west of Napa County in Sonoma County another wine region. In Napa County I would send my friends to Sterling, take the tram and after the tour have lunch there. Very beautiful. Ballentine is another great winery. My favorite chardonnay is Rombauer but be sure to make reservations. In st. Helena is Taylor's drive-in. Great lunch place. I suggest you order online so you don't have to long a wait. It's supper popular. There are many other winery but these are places not too expensive. Congratulations on your 30th anniversary. Have a blissfully wonderful trip.
The key looks awesome on the butterfly! I’m going to try attaching a paper clip to the back and coat with resin to make it sturdy and removable. Absolutely love your videos 💕
Perfect! You have definitely found your groove! Yep, please show us how you made the mini booklets. Either one would be great. Thanks... it's my 50th anniversary the beginning of June. Congratulations on 30 years.
Definitely, listen to "Where the Crawdads Sing" if you haven't already. I am a voracious reader but couldn't get into it reading. I did listen to it (while working on one of your books) and loved it. I understand it is now being made into a movie. I also just finished "Everything We Didn't say" by Nicole Baart. Really good.
We just got back from a road trip from Wash State, Oregon and Northern California - so beautiful- I just finished Winter Garden by Hannah Kristin- beautiful book- have fun!!! And by the way love this book! Lol
This is killing me. Had to pack up my craft room. We are moving from Florida back to Minnesota. I cant wait to be settled so I can start this. Jen this is just gorgeous. Love the key
I have the Deco Foil brand foil, and I didnt have a lot of luck with a glue stick with it. Maybe I'm too impatient, lol. So I use art glitter glue, and just dab over it with my finger so its not a straight line, and then do my foil over that. That way works really well for me, so maybe its something to try if you are having trouble.
Hi Jen, I love you creativity and very glad you got your back. I'm in love with a few different authors you can check out. The first is by Anne Bishop The Black Jewels trilogy which actually turns into about 10 books so far. The 2nd Author is Jeanine Frost "Halfway to the grave" series and lastly is Sherrilyn Kenyon Starting with her Hunter Legends. She is on book 26 or 27 and they are all amazing. Take a look at all 3 of them and see which you might like. (PS..I finally got my daughter listening to the Jeanine Frost novels and shes in love on how the audio books are read!)
Love everything I’m seeing here! And I really love the addition of the foil! My very favorite all-time audiobook was listening to the time travelers wife! I know its old but …, so worth it!!!! How exciting planning for your 30th anniversary trip!!!!!❤️
Beautiful! And I love this paper…but honestly, I wouldn’t know what to do with a book done with this paper. I have 2 boys so not sure how well that would work with pink, floral paper.
So happy to have more ideas from you! I've tried doing your albums on my own, but the ones I follow exactly what you do turn out so much nicer! As far as book ideas for your vacation, have you read "A Discover of Witches" by Deborah Harkness? It's the first in a series with witches, vampires, and demons who live hidden in our modern world. (Second book in series has time travel!) It's wonderful and one I've re-read many times.
The green frame is perfect, I think!! Schooch ~ Such a southern word... I love it ❤️ Ohhh myyyy goodness, you're crackin' my up 🤣 Thank you so much for such a great shout out 🥳 I didn't realize when you left that comment that you were actually in the MIDDLE of filming lol... I'm so squirrel it just seemed quite the norm to me lolol 🐿 And, I have a question for you about the journal in making with you in mind! I'll holler at you in just a bit (this is Thursday 5.26). Thank you again sweet Jennifer ❤️ xx
Also, check out Louise Penny, she is a Canadian author who has a series on Inspector Gamache, and you read them in order from book one through to I think 14 right now? Amazing stories 🥰
I made up a list of many little question that are conversations starters for my anniversary road trip. Nothing to crazy but fun ones. my husband totally enjoyed it ☺️ so if your wondering. It helps with some of the trip. Like what are 3 things that your love about you and you do him. It's really cute the answers I got also blew me away. Anyway thought maybe if you had time to do that if not message me and I will email you my list I made you can print and take it with you. Or screen shot it. Hope that helps. 🙏
I did not buy this collection when you first made your video showing us your stash because I really didn't care for it. I did my own research ( different screens/tvs always show differently) and looked online at the photos there and still didn't really like it. I usually just use paper that I like when I follow along with you. Two instructional videos into your album and I am already adding the collection to my online cart. You always amaze me in your creativity! I can not wait to see what you do next!
Read anything by Francine Rivers she is amazing. And don’t miss Lodi for wine tasting. It’s in the Central Valley and Wine and Roses is an incredible bed and breakfast to stay at.
Why do people waste money to go on vacations..road trips etc. Then sit with their nose in a book or on the computer NOT PAYING THE LEAST BIT OF ATTENTION to their surroundings or companions? It's your ANNIVERSARY.....PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR HUSBAND...TALK TO HIM!! TAKE PICTURES OF HIM...He has spent alot of time n money to take you someplace nice. EXPERIENCE IT!!!!! BE PRESENT IN THE MOMENT. or stay home n make videos n read books. Have fun n stay safe
Because when you’re away for 10 days you want good books to read or listen to on planes, and in bed. Having good books to read makes it feel like a holiday. We both enjoy reading together when we go away. But we pay a lot of attention to each other too. Jen - have you read the Seven Sisters series? I’ve listened to some and read some. Loved them all.
I Found My Creative Groove... FINALLY!! Lots of Fun Stuff in This One. Please let me know what you guys think? I am super excited to continue with this amazing adventure.

Beautiful layout as always!!! I love the key on the Butterfly and the "green" side of the booklet in the pocket as it adds a pop of color.
I love the key on the butterfly. Never thought of doing that. You think outside the box. Thanks for the video.
I love listening to you and I love your ideas. The butterfly with the key is so cute. I vote for the one with the green on the back.
Jen even if I don’t have a particular template of yours, I learn something new every video. Because of watching your videos, I’ve learned to try different colors, designs to make a page look spectacular!! Thank you 💜
I knew you had that creative groove, love all the butterflies, the key perfect ❤️❤️❤️

So cute Jen, I luv it and yes you have found your creative groove back girl. Amazing....!!!
Ted Dekker is an excellent fantasy/suspense writer. His Circle series is stellar!
I love it when you use keys! The green side of the booklet is my favorite. When I made mine, I included a coffee stained envelope in each booklet.
Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Chocolate, Golden Gate park and bridge, the Citadel and of course Alcatraz.
Definitely, listen to "Where the Crawdads Sing" if you haven't already. I am a voracious reader but couldn't get into it reading. I did listen to it (while working on one of your books) and loved it. I understand it is now being made into a movie. I also just finished "Everything We Didn't say" by Nicole Baart. Really good.
I love it! This is my first go at building one of your albums on my own. I am going to make the workbook and follow until the end!
Im so glad you’re feeling better Jen. Love these pages and I like the pink side. Awesome video as always
I’m lovin the butterfly
Love the pink one.
We just got back from a road trip from Wash State, Oregon and Northern California - so beautiful- I just finished Winter Garden by Hannah Kristin- beautiful book- have fun!!! And by the way love this book! Lol

This is brilliant, thank you for sharing, Jen! I'm having so much fun creating and watching your tutorial videos!
I love this
Love it help I need to get started.
The green frame is perfect, I think!!
Schooch ~ Such a southern word... I love it ❤️
Ohhh myyyy goodness, you're crackin' my up 🤣

Why do people waste money to go on vacations..road trips etc. Then sit with their nose in a book or on the computer NOT PAYING THE LEAST BIT OF ATTENTION to their surroundings or companions? It's your ANNIVERSARY.....PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR HUSBAND...TALK TO HIM!! TAKE PICTURES OF HIM...He has spent alot of time n money to take you someplace nice. EXPERIENCE IT!!!!! BE PRESENT IN THE MOMENT. or stay home n make videos n read books. Have fun n stay safe
Why post something like this… It’s their 30th anniversary so I’m pretty sure they know how to make it special!
Because when you’re away for 10 days you want good books to read or listen to on planes, and in bed. Having good books to read makes it feel like a holiday. We both enjoy reading together when we go away. But we pay a lot of attention to each other too.
