Hi All,

Let's start a new project from the beginning. I've been asked a couple of questions about where I get my old books and how I store and organize my papers I use for building signatures. In this video, I'll answer these questions as I get started on a new journal. I've chosen my cover as well as a piece for the spine cover and inside spine. I'll take you step by step as I choose my papers and organize my signatures.

In addition to using vintage book pages, maps and music, I also like to use coffee and tea stained papers as is and for printing digitals. Here are a couple other older videos that may interest you in case you haven't tried making your own vintage looking papers:

If you've never printed on fabric, here's my most recent video on this subject: youtu.be/rgC-pPZMrUc
