Hi All,

Today's video will show the perfectly imperfect side of journal making as a beginner. When you're learning new things and experimenting, things don't always turn out the way you had hoped. In this video I'll share my own experience with trying something new, making mistakes, and making it work. When I don't like the way something turns out, I just keep adding until I like it. I hope this video will give you some ideas and take the fear out of trying something new.

Enjoy!

Here's a link to this entire Vintage Book Journals playlist in case you'd like to watch from the beginning. The playlist starts with the Five Little Peppers journal and then the Baldwin's Reader journal is started in the video Pt. 10: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLZLDkP8ZTq0VFoYJE21S3k6ADmucezUH
