I'm a new subbie. I love love love your channel. I'm very new to the art of junk journaling. Question, what type of copy paper do u usually use to print off your digitals? Thank you.

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Lately I've been using Epson brand double sided Premium Presentation Paper as I have an Epson Inkjet EcoTank printer. When I use my laser printer, I use Hammermill Premium Color Copy

[@patpowell6684]

It would be nice as a Christmas reminder, say what pressies still to get for who etc, and make an envelope to put in one of the pockets for receipts. My daughter has MS and her memory is poor so I think I’ll make one for her. (Me too). Thank you 😊

Fabulous idea! 💕 Have fun with it!

I have an apple and there is not a file folder with triangle on this screen. When I go by the apple store I will ask them where the heck this is. Thanks for try to help me.

[@carlenegilpin261]

Love this project.💟And the paper.Could you tell me the name of it and where I can get it?😀

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

The Christmas journal used a Hobby Lobby paper pad. The other one uses a mix of printed digitals I had leftover from My Porch Prints, her link to shop is in the description under video

[@stitchywitch42]

What weight paper do you print your printables on? Audrey 💙🖖

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

I'm not sure which paper I used for these particular printables. However, generally I print all of my digital on Epson brand premium presentation paper in the matte finish. It is a 44 lb paper for the single-sided and 48 lb paper for the double sided

[@nancykirk8913]

So very adorable , and TFS...I must make one!!!! I've been following you for about three weeks now and i sincerely LOVE your style! DEo you mind me asking you a question about the one you made with the Christmas TEXAS paper....at least it looks like it to me with the cowboy boots with the stars on them and other things I see on the paper!!!! I am a Texas lady who has to live far far away from home, lol, and I love to buy things Texan or at least Texan looking for my memory books, Do you happen to know who made the paper and what it was called, or where you purchased it or anything about it? Any help would be appreciated as I would dearly love to have it!! Thank you so much and I must say, I'm so happy to be one of your new subbies!!!!

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Thanks so much! The Christmas paper with the boots and stars is from Hobby Lobby in their Christmas papercrafting section. It's an 8 1/2" x 11" pad
