Comment: I love, love, love how you designed this month's zine!!...all the details of each page....its like reading some secret files..but in a pretty way...lol...awesome zine!!!....this was fun...love the J.L stamp with coordination envie and card, too....cheers! '

Comment: Lori, thank you for your fun Zine.Love your illustrations and the way you put all together,

Comment: omgh...I just opened this and laughed....I have been gel printing the last couple of days...am working on multiple layering and watching a youtube vid for guidance until I get the hang of it!...I like both your zines....I like the way the black came out on the stickers...looks like a gel printed letter!...the combo on the "bad copy" all works together and looks awesome...so not a tosser...a keeper!! both turned out real nice!!....thanks for both and the goodies....cheers!

Comment: Lori, thank you for the zine and the explanation of your procedure. It's always helpful to know what worked for other people and what didn't work out so well. I found out from another swapper that photos copy much better than the regular printed paper does. Now I compose my zines on the computer for the most part and then print it out of photo paper for copying onto plain paper for the final zine. And like you, I'm trying to figure out how to get the edges to look the way I want them to. Personally, I don't mind the white border at all. But I love the background techniques that you used! Thanks for a great swap!

Comment: Thank you for the very cute zine. I think they both look good. I especially love the gelli print background💜

Comment: Sorry it took me awhile to comment - been just working working working. Anyway, I love that you sent the "botched" one so I can see I'm not the only one who has to make mine a few times to get them right. Thanks for the lovely notecard and book page, as well as the fabulous zine!

Comment: Such a cute tag and I love my goodies - can't wait to play with them. Thank you!

 

Comment: Thanks so much for the adorable zine! I love your punches and color combinations, and I appreciate all you went through to get this baby out to us!

Comment: Lori, I love your June zine! The pages look great with the way you did the layout and the color combos. Your sewing machine drawing was terrific! I had to laugh about your problems with the Smile Power face; I did a 'torn paper' postcard once that included a duck among some cattails. While the duck and the cattails weren't too hard, making that perfectly round eye by tearing paper into a circle was a real challenge!! Thanks for a fun swap!!

Comment: (((LORI))) Yes! Thank you so much for this swap. I never would have guessed that it was your first one you hosted. Very cool!!! I adore this ATC! Thank you for the address labels, ticket ephemera, tag, and adorable little dog stickers. You made my day!! I will swap with you again anytime.

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful zine. I love the colors. I’m so sorry you had such a hard time with it though 💜

Comment: Thank you so much for your great zine!Love how you coordinate Your colors and your design. Love your little drawings too.

Comment: good idea for a zine...to express a personal taste in creativity...btw you are an artist...never say your not one!...thanks for the "explanation" letter...enjoyed reading all about the process...cheers!

Comment: I love my swap from my fellow Georgian! A wonderful recipe I cant wait to try and something new to me! Wacky Zines!! LOL Ill have to read up on it, love yours as the first I ve seen!!

Comment: You totally busted yourself as I would never have noticed the yellow washi. Much less obvious than my upside-down February cover! This is art, we love it and it's not perfect and we love it the more. Thanks for the embellished envelope - I'm working on learning how to make good-looking stacked embellishments so this is a good in-person example. I like the tickets, and what are the other things for? They're kind of exciting, all potential until I learn what they are, then can use them! Thanks so much and I can't wait to write millions of zines with you!

Comment: cute watercolor zine!....I like all the bits of wash tape thru-out and all the little details...thanks for the adorable goodie bag...I love using tickets in my art journals...how'd ya know?...lol....cheers!

Comment: Loved it, really enjoyed the colors also what kind of printer do you use?! Thanks for the tickets.

Comment: Thanks for the cute May Zine! Love the use of watercolors. Thanks also for the cute bag of tickets!

Comment: One of the things I like most about this swap is receiving several different people's take on the same thing. I really like how you used the paint and tape to add color and the stamps to bring each holiday to life. Great zine, thank you.

Comment: Brilliant! Wonderful! OMG it ends with an actual yellow chicklet! My computer will not let me spell chicklet in any way whatsoever. Your zine is ABSOLUTE perfection, and - it really really is! Then this mini zine holder - BRILLIANT! Yeah, that pattern confused the heck out of me, so I'll use the one you sent THANK YOU SO MUCH for a template and make and decorate these. How fun. Maybe we should have a swap where we all send each other a set of 2 or 3 decorated ones... Oh, yeah, plus, super pretty envelope. And return address label. You are now on my list of faves to swap with lady! Anyway, thanks and I'm sorry for the late rating. I've not been well and am catching up tonight.

Comment: this is a great zine!!!...love all the info and how you designed it...awesome!!....fav is bugs bunny day!...thanks so much for the zine mini-file, too...such a good idea!...never seen it before...will use it as a template to make another before I deco and put together....thanks so much!!!...cheers!!

Comment: Lori, let me start by saying that your envelope was beautiful with the colorful shapes on the front. I also liked that you used a bee stamp! Your zine is great too, with it's many different colorful backgrounds for each holiday you picked. I especially like Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day - that sandwich looks so yummy!!! And then you included that file box and blew my mind up with all sorts of plans for file boxes for my zines!!! I wish I could give you a hundred hearts!!! Thanks so much for such a fun swap!!!

Comment: Thanks for the cute zine and the zine holder. What a great idea. I can't wait to put it together. Thank you!

Comment: Thanks for the fabulous zine! I love the cohesive design and that you included explanations for the days. Sadly, I had no pie for today. Without your explanation I would not know the full weight of National Puppy Day. Also, thanks SO much for the return address labels. And journaling card. Have a wacky March and hope to see you in April. Hmm, I should post that...
