+Susan Hill Well these were double pages, so they were just sewn in but in the case of single pages, I glue a strip of paper at the middle, or use washi tape to create a double page.
Can you show us how you take apart the book from when you purchase it. Forgive me, I'm a newbie to all of this and I'm lost......These are gorgeous!! Are you going to be making any more? I see they are sold out of your Etsy shop...
Hi Debbie, do you have issues with coffee staining your graph and writing papers with the blue ink smearing? I spritz mine and then use my blow dryer but it continue to run and smear... Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.... Carrie
My graph and lined paper inks run too...but I like the marbled result of the blue mixed with the coffee. If you're trying to preserve the lines for writing, I'd suggest 'flicking' some coffee with your fingers so that you only get a flew blotches here and there that smear. It would look aged but still linear. Have fun!
Hola, Ephemera's. Quiero decirte que me encantan tus trabajos, y trato de imitarlos, claro que con mis recortes, mis revistas, mis viejos libros. Has hecho que vuelva a mi niñez pegando, pintando, juntando recortes. Gracias por eso, te envío cariños desde Argentina!
Hi Debbie, I've been one of your subbies for quite a while and have very much enjoyed your videos. I recently was asked a question about copyright infringement. I was cutting out images from an old fairy tale book and putting them in one of my junk journals. Do you know the rules or can you direct me to where I might learn a little bit more about using images and actual torn out pages for journals that I'm going to sell? Thank you. Monica
Hi Monica, the best place to start is to look up the term 'public domain' online and get familiar with was is considered to be copyright free, and then perhaps it will help you to know what you can or shouldn't use in items for sale. Good luck! :)
TOTALLY COOL JOURNAL DEB! Great job and luv the novel book covers. I am so addicted to coffee staining, but haven't tried it on the pattern paper yet, so thanks for mentioning that! Cheers! xo
Hey there can I ask how you bind your signatures to the covers? I have only seen where people sew them in but that means putting holes in the spines and yours dont have those. also how much do you charge for a custom journal? I have an idea for one but I do not own the supplies like inks and the emephera and stuff to make one.
Hi, I sew the signatures to a spine which is then secured to the book cover. I don't take custom requests at this time but I do create journals on a regular basis that I list in my Etsy shop. Thanks for watching!
Wow...these books are lovely! Gorgeous rescue covers....beautiful pages...I am getting better at coffee staining...to sell though, not for artistry. I leave this post even more inspired. Love love love the penultimate book the most. The queen one is just as stunning. Will send some etsy love your way! TFS!
I just love the junk journals you made and would like to try that. I learned from you the binding method, but I don't know how to attach them to the book covers. Would you let me know how I can find out how you did that. I am sure you have a video, but for some reason, I can't find it. Thanks in advance. Anne
This is very fine art craftsmanship, thanks for sharing. I loved watching and I am going to try it for the first time. I wanted to order the Martha Stewart kit, but I am waiting and watching more videos.
Hey there! I’m just wandering around RUclips and stumbled onto this video. I LOVED these; especially the Queen of France. So lovely. I’m going to subscribe 😊
When you use the actual pages from the original book, esp. one page, how do you attach it at the inside spine?

Hi Debbie! Awesome Journals!
Great attention to every detail! Love your work! Thank you for always inspiring! Tfs... Irene

every year I make xmas gifts for friends and family...you've inspired me to make some altered books/junk journals for them this Christmas...xx
Very nice. Thanks for the bead spacer idea.
Happy crafting, :)

How do you put your signatures in your book? I don't see anything on the spine!

Il sont beaux mercies beaucoup
I can see that you love red. One doesn’t see many journals or ephemera with red. I just love how you use, it really pops.
I really do love it. Thank you!
Fabulous, great for using up all those scrapbook papers x
thanks I'm glad you like it!
WHERE are you? I want to move where you are and visit your thrift shops! I'm in Southern California! HA! I may come visit!
Four beautiful book

These are beautiful. Do you take requests? I'd love one in an old Nancy Drew book.
This is very fine art craftsmanship, thanks for sharing. I loved watching and I am going to try it for the first time. I wanted to order the Martha Stewart kit, but I am waiting and watching more videos.
Hi Debbie,
What binding did you use for these books? They are wonderful
Thanks..
Debby
Debby, this video explains it briefly: ruclips.net/video/wL_vIrkRzT8/видео.html. Thanks!
Thanks.....Have a wonderful weekend.. :)
You are so neat.
I really like the simplicity of these journals. More room to sketch and write your thoughts. More like a real journal.
oh I love your ideas, I am about to start my journal for my poems and I fell in love with your beautiful journals

SimplyPatti thank you so much, I appreciate that!
May I know the music used at the end?
SweetZyrah ruclips.net/video/YEITVTcGbzc/видео.html
Love your videos they are very helpful and your books are beautiful.
Beautiful journals Debbie! :)
can hot glue be used to adhere the signatures to the spine/cover?
Probably. The only issue is that hot glue dries hard so you might feel the bumps through the spine.
EphemerasGarden Ok thanks.
These journals are both so beautiful. I love your choices.
Awesome journals Debbie! Just love them
How much does this journal cost? Do you make baby books?
Prices vary, based on number of pages etc. I'm not taking custom requests, these are made in my spare time. Thank you for watching :)
Pretty!
