[@jensartyinclinations]

Love the creative attachment ❤❤

[@Sundies_Art]

I took the prompt more literal. Added two envelopes locked together and covered the insides, then made the outside of one to appear as a real addressed envelope using stamping. I really enjoy watching the ideas you come up with, I just don't have much of an imagination. Thanks so much for sharing the ideas.

[@megjournals]

love that!

[@PatWalker-mq7ir]

Love your snippet roll of scraps. So cute and always nice to have something on the ready! TFS

[@Trish-CraftingWhimsy]

Meg, your page is awesome! You really think outside the box when I wouldn’t! Thanks so much for sharing and hosting! I can’t wait to see what you do next! 😘 Trish

[@megjournals]

thank you!

[@brendadavisscrapitydoda1284]

I loved watching this, it really came together nicely.🌸

[@marilynmartinez9808]

Me encantó la tira de papel está genial 😊😊😊 saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

I’ve never thought of making a page with clusters like that. You’ve given a lot of inspiration to me there!❤

[@megjournals]

thanks so much!

[@candikcan1720]

such a FUN page...and a unique idea!

[@jjournaldiva]

I made my own envelopes and hlued them back to back to form a pocket with the page sandwiched between. I love how yours turned out.

[@beahallberg7822]

This is so much fun, Meg!! Love joining in ❤ My page(s) for Envelope just LOOKS like an envelope, with some collage, an "address" and a sticker stamp. And then I journalled on the backside of the page as a letter, kind of?! So one page became three instead, and it's very hard to explain in words.. but it's nice and interactive and flips up and spins and I love it! Also just added a couple of details after seeing the first snow of the year! 😍

[@megjournals]

oooh love the address part!

[@susangazawaypapercrafting3749]

I love how you layer. Beautiful. 😊❤

[@megjournals]

thank you!!

[@greenwren2920]

love seeing the little pops of colour you've been adding!!

[@megjournals]

thank you!

[@gailoliver5676]

I love this. Using the envelope as part of the page or actually the page is unique.I plan to use the insides of security/junk mail envelopes as background and another envelope as a belly band.

[@megjournals]

oooh love that!

[@lisamendoza-rodriguez1968]

Love this page/ pocket/envelope creation. Thank you for sharing Meg. ❤

[@megjournals]

thanks so much!

[@maikeannamohr2119]

Wonderful!! 🥰😍❤️❤️❤️

[@megjournals]

Thank you! 🤗

[@sonagray3176]

Absolutely L🫶🏾VE secret envelope! I’ve completed 90% of this prompt; however, after seeing your vid, I’m going to add my version of a secret envelope.

[@megjournals]

yay!!

[@dianapadilla3617]

Nice twist on the use of the envelope. Very creative 😊

[@carlaking3459]

You inspired me to add a postage stamp!! Finished it off nicely!!

[@megjournals]

i collect so many stamps from envelopes!

[@marilynmartinez9808]

Hermoso me gustó mucho 🎉

[@sandrafisherhayes3219]

I love your page Meg ❤ I have decided to use an old hardback journal (notebook size) from the early 2000s. Used a small Boots paperbag for my cover. I won't be posting but I will join you in the daily prompts. Thank you for organising this challenge ❤

[@megjournals]

That's a great idea!

[@gayleneponds]

Found this yesterday! So excited to follow all the creative ideas and people!❤

[@AlpacaMade]

As part of my journal construction, I used the envelope prompt, twice. 🙃👍

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

beautiful page. I have a video up for my days 1 and 2. I kept my envelope very simple. I just put it in a tuck spot. 😃👍🏻✉

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Lovely!

[@megjournals]

thank you! :)

[@sheliaporter6795]

I love your envelope/page! I love the way the blue on the stamp makes it pop. I am working on my envelope now.

[@JunkJournalAnna2123]

I LOVE YOUR STYLE I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR 2 YEARS NOW😊 KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING, CUZ ITS AMAZING

[@clarecollins9961]

Sorry commenting as I watch do you could get lots of comments😂 Love the idea of the pre-made strip to tear from.

[@amytangerine]

Looks so very awesome! 😍

[@megjournals]

thanks Amy!!

[@debbiereed8341]

Love it! Really like how you made this.

[@ritaweltevreden5596]

What a lovely idea!

[@janicehoughtelling5137]

Love your journal not doing the challenge not my kind of thing. but I do enjoy the process of different crafters doing their pages

[@cherylfaetanini5683]

Cute little journal ❤ This is my first time doing one of your challenges, already enjoying it as I work on #2 prompt 😊Thank you Meg ❄️

[@megjournals]

happy journaling!!

[@toniscott1029]

I love this!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Love how your page turned out, you may be inspired to tuck a note in there later, maybe not. 🤩

[@megjournals]

i think i might!

[@Rosehaven777]

Like your idea. I created my own DIY Envelope from an old bookpage.

[@megjournals]

that sounds so fun!

[@madelinecaporale2100]

Love your style. Find your videos difficult to watch as your narration volume is so low. For me, I have to strain to hear you even with the level on my speakers turned all the way up. Is there a way for you to increase the volume on your recordings?

[@mariepemberton6750]

😊❤ What type of glue do you use?

[@susanjuckett8835]

Is there supposed to be some place where we can share pages of our January Junk Journals? This is my 1st go round and I thought at some point you ask to see how we (participants) are doing the prompts/pages...

[@megjournals]

On KZbin or Instagram is the best place :)

[@CarolanneWall]

Meg, how do I get a copy of the daily prompts page so I can stick it in to my inside cover.

[@megjournals]

Here you go! :) drive.google.com/file/d/1-c6HKA_ycn5hXZCVTYBN_mO4UFUZXB3O/view

[@CarolanneWall]

@megjournals thankyou ever so much

[@katrineleber7238]

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

❤

[@elizabethk2009]

I hinged in an envelope with an envelope within.

[@megjournals]

envelope-ception!

[@stellabiteme]

This was painful to watch.

[@megjournals]

Why?

[@NandaMariaRocha]

Yeah. Why ?
