You have just given me a wonderful idea!!! I have been carting my wedding gown around for 52 years. My daughter has no interest in it. I have just given myself permission to cut all of the lace for journal ing. Thank you !!!!!

[@ReginaCreates2]

Hi Meg. Love the vintage 😍 Beautiful page! Like number 635 👍

[@carlaking3459]

I think this prompt lends to the most variety and flexibility of ideas!! I used an old picture, a throwback to the 70's. Special to me as it included a lady who was like a 2nd mom to me and I attended her funeral on the 3rd!!

[@jensartyinclinations]

Using napkins is wonderful. Your page turned out so beautifully

[@veronicawirth5391]

I find your videos the perfect inspiration, thank you! Also, I think the word you were searching for the slightly translucent paper was vellum :)

[@jensartyinclinations]

Lovely how you added the tag over the top. 🔝 did a flippy scrap for quote

[@yjournaling]

Another beautiful page is done! Not only to watch but listening to your story is always fun as well! Thanks for sharing, meg🥰

Loving the challenge. I was just wondering how do we access the collaboration videos and how do we get to see what everyone else is doing? Is there a Facebook group? 😊

[@LynsAlteredArts]

[@karendegoede4433]

I think the name was f the paper you’re talking about is Vellum paper.

[@megjournals]

It felt thinner than vellum to me! Unless there are different ones? I love it whatever it is 😅

[@emmaholloway2516]

​@megjournals it looked a bit like glassine paper to me, but whatever it was it gave such a lovely effect ❤

[@katn2dogspapercrafts]

The prompts come up as error 404 not found. Would love to print these out! 😊

[@loristevens280]

It’s also on her instagram

[@megjournals]

Sorry, working on it! The prompts are on my Instagram in the meantime! :)

[@katn2dogspapercrafts]

Thank you Meg! Got it now! xxx

[@gillianedwards5667]

I had joined about a week ago, and did get to print out the prompts. Now I'm trying on a different printer (first one was a bit wonky) but I cannot access the link to the prompts. Getting error 409, stating 'deleted or doesn't exist'. Any suggestions, anyone? Thanks!

[@purplepixie274]

I tried it and it says the same thing.

[@megjournals]

Sorry, working on it! The prompts are on my Instagram in the meantime! :)
