Part 1: Making an Envelope Journal; Junk Journal Booklet; Folio (Tutorial)

[@craftythingsbyvikki6834]

Ive watched hundreds of videos, how have I not seen yours until now? Great tips for the Fabri-Tac and button tabs. Awesome, thank you!

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Thanks! If you make it through to part 3 of the series, See the suggestion in the comments of part 3 on how I could've fixed the little mistake I did in part 3. It's a brilliant suggestion. Thanks for stopping by!

[@angievanwyk8161]

Wow i love it very very creative and lovely presentation tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to next one.

[@cheryltallafuss1166]

I barely have posted on videos. But I have to tell you, I'm recouping from a year long of being extremely unwell. I had picked up JJ March 2017. Of course, I had to watch many videos. Then the hunt began. The fun. I went to MANY vintage/antique shops. Then, on line, in hopes to find those who were no longer paper crafting. I did very well. Honestly, some things I got were still packaged. Long story, I'm just starting to watch my videos again. You are my favorite JJ person/ instructor. Thank you, and God Bless.

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Thank you so much!! That really means a lot to me! I'm so sorry you've been unwell for so long but I'm glad to hear you are recouping. Take care! 💕

[@catherinecamp7051]

Hi this is Avelina and I love this way of making junk journals. You e used all types of papers and have lots of spaces to write, which to me is the end goal of a journal.

[@paulaflavell9964]

The black tape your hubby uses, is the tape I use for the spines on my albums. It’s very strong. These journals are lovely. I’m going to make a few for Christmas presses. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration. I just found your site and love your work.

[@laurengilliland5792]

This is cool! Love the idea for all the envelopes I have collected from thrift. I stopped fake nails, stop using gel polish and the lights and my hands quit hurting and their strength all came back. Tried it twice and both times they hurt and then stopped after a few days of removing gel nails. XO

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Great tip!

[@Jamiejjb]

I was searching for a new craft project and found your page. So excited to give this a try!

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Thank you! I appreciate it have fun!

[@maryobrien7026]

I love this envelope journal. I will definitely be making some for Christmas. The envelopes are A8 envelopes and can be found on Amazon in a wide variety of colours.

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

A8, thanks! Have fun!

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Actually, I checked what I purchased, and these were considered A9.

[@maryobrien7026]

That was a typo error on my part. I meant to put A9

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

@@maryobrien7026no big deal. well I didn't have a clue at all. The could've been A57 for all i knew. 😁 the only reason I even looked is I remembered the A8 and went back to Hobby Lobby and could only find A9. So I was afraid it wasn't the right ones I'd had before. Looked through my paper scraps bin at home and finally found the packaging from the original. Lol

[@julieannepowell7352]

Have fun with it!

[@kimberlyfaure1845]

I must tell you. I saw this last year and have made one medium size journal and two large ones. Well as big as 12 by 12 paper can get🤣😂. I watched the videos OVER AND OVER again to get it all correct. They are, so far in my life time of crafting (all my life, 60’s now). These are the PRETTIEST and most unusual things I have ever made. I am still adding decor to all the tags and journal pages, but I just LOVE them and can’t wait to give them to my daughters. I put them away a few months ago. They can be a lot of work, depending on what you add. But I will be adding all those fancy extras and give them to my girls someday soon. Love LOVE watching your videos. You make me chuckle all the time. Thank you. 🙏🏻 God bless you!

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

[@pumpjackpiddlewick]

Thank you for a great tutorial. I was looking for an idea to do a garden journal for my Mum for Christmas and you have given me the perfect way. I followed along with you (and will be with the next one) as I create my own pocket journal. (And love your shop on Etsy!)

[@korsgaardjournals1422]

I really looked for a easy little project. My mojo is gone on vacation and every time I sit at my table I just have SO many half projects I just can’t seem to make finish, I’m just stuck. 🙁 So this project is perfect and hope I will find my mojo while I’m working on this. Thanks for sharing...I just love all the things you make Hugs from Denmark 🇩🇰 🙏

[@thebookvandalshop5592]

Well, have fun with it! It's a great little project to stir up creative mojo.

[@UandMeGod]

I have been feeling the same exact way. You are not alone on feeling like you lost your mojo. I sometimes want so badly to create something yet when I get into my craft room I am unable to seem to finish anything. So that is how I landed on this video hoping to do a cute little project hoping to find my mojo with hopefully finishing a small project that is cute and adorable yet functional. Good luck with you and happy crafting!!!

[@korsgaardjournals1422]

UandMeGod Oldaker thank you So MUCH I thought I was the only one. It’s very frustrating when you just want to creative and nothing happens I go home so my day are very long. I do hope this one helps you. Hugs from Denmark 🇩🇰 🙏
