I'm sure yours are fantastic, dear Marcia! It makes me so happy to know you enjoyed the cat surprise! Happy crafting!

[@saoneill908]

Hi Anne. I have folded these , learned them from someone folding origami envelopes, but never thought of using it as a tuck and hidden journal card spot. Thanks for the great idea. Love how you decorated it too.

[@Georgemoore620]

Hey Sandy , good evening 🌆. How are you doing

[@annekenlon]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Someone else mentioned using it as a place for a gift card, which I also think is a terrific idea. Thank you for watching!

[@shelia5871]

These pockets are fantastic no matter what size! The tips you gave are really appreciated too! Thank you so much Anne!

[@annekenlon]

You are so welcome! I appreciate your watching, Shelia, thank you!

[@lyndarandall211]

This is wonderful. So fun seeing the whimsical cat pop out as a surprise and to put a smile on someones. Thank you and blessings. 🤗🌹

[@annekenlon]

You are so kind, thank you Lynda! Have fun crafting!

[@StrayMementos]

Thank you for sharing this fold, love it! Hidden spots are one of my favourite things in junk journaling. ❤

[@annekenlon]

Mine too! I love a good surprise! Thanks for watching!

[@zinniapatch2488]

Another fun video! I just have to tell you how very much I enjoyed your video,( quite awhile back, ) where you make the long signatures, and then folded them, etc. Long story short, I cannot quit making those. Making signatures the other way is so boring now - tee hee and I just can't get away from making them your way! So much fun! Thanks for sharing! 😍

[@annekenlon]

Oh thank you! You're so kind to say so. And do you know what, I am obsessed with that signature method as well. I just love the element of surprise. In fact I'm posting another video next week (mushroom themed!) where I used that same FrankenPaper method. Perhaps neither of us will ever turn back!! ❤️

[@beverlynielsen6714]

Good morning Anne. Very cute envelope pocket. Love the secret compartment. TFS. ❤

Wow, I love this idea. How amazing! Thanks for the decorating tips. I am not sure I would have thought of how to determine the areas needing the decorations. How clever of you.

[@annekenlon]

You're so kind, Patricia, thank you!

[@user-xg5vv4bz8c]

[@ninniank9650]

Good morning Anne☀️💐🎶. Cute pockets, I’ve become obsessed with different pocket styles.

[@annekenlon]

Good morning! I'm so glad you enjoyed them. Yes, a different pocket style does add excitement to a page, doesn't it? Have fun making this one! Thank you for watching!

[@suzyallen1726]

You know i love knew pockets. This brillant. But you are brillant also coloring those spots that show. I would have decorated the whole darn thing😂😂😂. Thanks for doing several times.😊❤

Thank you! Aren't secret pockets the best?! Have fun with yours!

[@phyllispeterson5800]

I think Julie is a hoot.

[@annekenlon]

Oh, she is! And her content is terrific as well. I adore both the "KZbin Julies" in my life - @julietorrens and Julie at Camelia Crafts! Oh, and when Julie at CC does her "inking for Phyllis," is that you? If so, you're famous! ❤️❤️

[@JannaStamps]

These look so fun, definitely going to make some. You give really great direction! Thanks so much for sharing :)

Love it! I am sharing your video in my FB Group as inspiration. So fun!!

[@annekenlon]

Oh, wow, thank you so much! I'm really flattered! And now that I've discovered your channel, too, I just subscribed to you! Eager to take in your dragon journals - my grandson is a huge dragon (Wings of Fire) fan and I am inspired by YOU to make something special for him. Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it!

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Hi Anne, new subbie here. Love this idea, the possibilities are endless. I like how you have explained everything so easily. Great video. I thought hmmm when I saw you pull out the Oregon postcard and smiled when I heard you say Rose City. I thought, oh a neighbor. I’m in Battle Ground just north of Vancouver. Always so fun to find local crafters. I’m off to watch more of your videos and share this one with another crafty cohort. Patti

[@annekenlon]

Hello, neighbor! Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate it!

[@mkyred]

Oh i love this!

[@annekenlon]

Thanks, Wendy, so glad you watched! I hope you make one of these fun pockets!

[@growfortoday7862]

I like this hidden pocket! I made me a template to make some, when I'm done making the mushrooms from you video I watched earlier! I just can't stop with the mushrooms!! 😂

[@annekenlon]

You’re cracking me up - I’m so glad you’re having fun! You can toss all those sweet little mushrooms into your secret pocket! ❤️🍄😃✂️

[@growfortoday7862]

@@annekenlon Oh yeah! Thats another good idea! Thanks! 😃❤🍄

[@retroqueenbeeart]

Nice pocket ideas.

[@annekenlon]

Thanks so much - I hope you give this a try!

[@retroqueenbeeart]

@@annekenlon i am, when i do make them I will link your utube channel to mine crediting and introducing the idea.

[@MamaH329]

Thanks for sharing. Great tutorial. I tried with a square piece of paper but I couldn't get the tuck part to stay tucked. Will keep trying!

[@annekenlon]

Thanks for watching! If your tucked-in portion is too short, you might try gluing a scrap to the end of the tuck to make it longer. That may help!

[@theshabbyhippie]

Great idea!! I just subscribed. ☺

[@annekenlon]

Oh, I'm so happy you're here, thank you so much!
