I was so happy when I turned on my computer for inspiration your video was right there. I am struggling with a collage that I think is too busy, but after watching this I have some new ideas. Thanks Nina for the perfect timing and lovely inspiration. Have a wonderful day.
I like that you show when you make decisions fairly quickly and also when you need to go away and think about it. There's a nice balance between the two.
Hi Nina, just a quick tip a friend shared with me. When trying to punch out a scrap of paper, tape it with washi or making tape to a bigger scrap to hold on to for easier positioning 🙂
This was an amazingly creative session. You were able to create so many lovely elements from your Masterboard. I love all the pieces, but my favorite is the cover for your black scrapbook journal. (I am going to keep my eye for one when I can shop again)Won’t be long now! I have had my first shot, just waiting for my second one at the end of the month. I am debating whether to put the Dana Wakely collage collectible on my birthday list. I worry that because it is so beautiful,I will be afraid to use it. Too bad the pages are covered both front and back. Trying to decide which side to sacrifice is always a problem for me! I am so glad you are so decisive! I need a strong role model! TFS I did. God bless and stay safe.
I must admit it was the fact that it’s both beautiful and double sided that has stopped me for using it and also the reason I ended up buying 2! I’m glad you enjoyed this session, I love the journal cover as well and it was lovely to use the paper clip packaging that I had been hoarding for a while waiting for the right project to use it on. Thanks as always for sharing ❤️ xo
Hahaha, I was waiting for someone to pick on the fact that it was glued on straight! I just couldn’t bring myself to glue it on the wonk 🤣. Really pleased with the journal topper and I think it is one of the journals you bought me ❤️ xxx
I really like these items that you've made out of your masterboard, Nina. They are full of interest and go so well with the other pages in your journal. Your video is so interesting. Many thanks as ever.
As ever, brilliant. A masterpiece from a master board!! Gorgeous. Love collage, not good at it but I love the reactions I receive from people which are usually, what does that number mean? what have you put there? etc and I just ask them to see in it what they will It's either a narrative or a concoction of designs and textures, so make your own mind up. You are the champion of the collage, Nina.... well, in my book, anyway. Thank you for sharing. x
Thanks so much for your kind words Pam. I enjoy collage and especially playing with odd scraps and packaging. A lot of the time it makes no sense, but what does it matter as long as it works for us and brings us joy creating it. Enjoy the rest of your week 💕 xo
A year of lockdowns has me also doing things I have never tried to do before!! OMG!! I have changed my thoughts that there are things I can do!! I just need to try!! I have my first vaccine so I am still home and just still making stuff!! Thank you to both of you ladies for getting me to stretching my brain and work on things I never would have even tried.
Hi Robynn, I think lockdown has given many of us an opportunity to try things outside of our comfort zone as we’ve all had more time on our hands and of course boredom soon kicked in. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed experimenting with new ideas , that’s so lovely to hear ❤️
Hello nina, did I enjoy this....oh I did. I hang on to the smallest pieces of paper...those little collages are so nice. Do I understand that you are almost sorry to use the pages of the book, oh yes I do, but I try not to do this too much, some times you have to make room for new things. But I totally understand it. The front of the journal looked so good. A great video again, see you soon and a big kissxx lena
Hello aliens, I’m so glad you enjoyed this. There is nothing more satisfying than making mini collages with tiny scraps of this and that. It is shameful that it has take. Me so long to delve into that beautiful book of papers, but I’m glad I finally did it and found a use for them too. See you soon and big hugs and kisses to you too ❤️ xxx
Thank you so much Nina, I really really love ❤️ that master board, it’s incredible. And I really really love ❤️ what you’ve done with those pieces you cut from it. And then WOW 😯 WOW 😯 WOW 😯, you really really stunned me with the way you layered it together, and that butterflies 🦋 were just right. Superb Nina. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thanks so much Mags. I love this Masterboard because it’s quirky and different and of course the bright colours appeal to me at the moment as well. Lovely to hear you like what I did with it. Thanks as always for your kindness as it is very much appreciated ❤️ 🥰 xxxxx
Your master boards just keep getting more interesting all the time. This may be my favorite. I love how you creatively divided it to show off the different patterns. I usually divide mine equally whether postcard or ATC. This gives me some great ideas. I also am intrigued with your mini collages. I have been playing with some lately using vintage postage stamps. Soo fun. Great video.
Thanks so much Marsha. When I first created this, I thought have I gone a bit too quirky this time, but it’s one of my favourites and I love how these projects came together. I thoroughly enjoyed doing the mini collages during the first lockdown but had no idea what I was going to do with them. I want to experiment more with mini collage. Glad you enjoyed this video ❤️
It took a lot Rene it really did, but I’m glad I finally used it and the mini collages were perfect for decorating my Masterboard. Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
Oh Nina I love what you've done with these bits and pieces. I really love the 3D effects you've created with the butterfly and the heart. Very inspirational, thank you for sharing x
Love the book of papers you showed us! What a bright, happy and balanced master board and you made great use of it with all your different pieces. Thanks for all the tips. 🇨🇦
I just found your videos a few months ago. I think you are so talented. I enjoy all your videos I have seen so far. What a great teacher you are. Thanks for sharing your talent. Debbie Peysen from Texas, USA
Oh Elaine, I took photo’s of it both ways to help me decided, but when push came to shove I just couldn’t bring myself to glue it ‘on the wonk’ as Lynda put it. So set in my ways 😂😂😂🦋❤️ xxx
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia oooooh.... but it looked good on the 'wonk' or 'skew'.... Butterflies don't fly straight though 😂😂🦋🦋🦋 You are a 'straight down the line' kinda gal!! 💖💖
hi Nina! I may start a masterboard. I'd have to take it to the printers. My house is where printers come to die. :) I loved watching this and I was making ATCs during your video. It always helps me with ATCs to be watching a mixed-media artist. So,.............this is gorgeous!!!!!!!! You could not have made a better cover for that notebook! :) The weather is nice today. Nice enough to have the heat turned off during the day. Cheers!
Thanks so much Shala, and glad to hear you were crafting along with me again. This is one of my favourite Masterboards, although I did think it was a bit too off the wall at the time, but I love the pieces I’ve managed to create from it. It’s always good to try something different as yo7 never know where it might lead. Have a fabulous week and Happy Creating 💕
A great share Nina .. I really enjoyed seeing these pages coming together .Love the topper on your Black page Album. Perfect . Thank you . Stay safe ... xxx
Thanks Debbie, Apart from a couple of tags, I had no idea where this was heading to start with, but so pleased with the projects that came out of it 💕 xx
Thanks Tanya. I did a craft room tour a few years ago. Apart from having hoarded more supplies since then, it hasn’t really changed. Here’s the link ruclips.net/video/xr-80_Ao4bI/видео.html
Hi Nina, do you ever photo copy papers like from Dina's book and work off those pieces instead so you can keep the book whole? I don't know if that's allowed, is it allowed. I have some papers I'm loath to use because they are too pretty.
Hi Wendy, whilst I have no issue copying my Masterboards where I have used pieces of the papers to make my own artwork for my own,personal use, I wouldn’t feel comfortable copying complete pages as it would breach copyright. I hope that helps 💕
I was so happy when I turned on my computer for inspiration your video was right there. I am struggling with a collage that I think is too busy, but after watching this I have some new ideas. Thanks Nina for the perfect timing and lovely inspiration. Have a wonderful day.

Brilliant! Ha ha,the butterfly was straight 😂....I don’t mind butterflies and dragonflies etc ‘ on the wonk’ 😁.Loved the cover on the black journal! X

Yes Lynda I noticed she couldn't do it on the wonk!!! 😂😂😂 I think we need to train her to give it a go 🤣💖💖xx
🤣🤣🤣😘
I don’t know how you do it: with lots of different pieces you always manage to do something beautiful!
Thanks so much Muryel, I had a lot of fun with this unusual Masterboard
