Fun CD Envelope Flip and Tags

[@brendagraw3729]

HI Wendy when you said you cannot make journals, I knew exactly what you meant. 5 years ago I found this art and never looked back except to acknowledge that for 50 plus years I flitted from hobby to hobby, never spending more than a few weeks at it before getting bored. 100s, I mean many hundreds, of journals later I still get inspired by a video or a thrift store buy and can spend a whole day working in a journal. Sold many, and gave away to family who run the other direction when I come to visit with a bag full ( most members love them, but have empty ones to still fill!). Plus I have many tucked away. Selling on line is difficult, the postage in Canada to anywhere is so high it can equal the price of the journal. So a few craft sales get rid of a few to new homes, but the basement shelves are bulging. However when someone suggests that I have enough, well how do you explain to them that the next one is calling to be born and loved. But you understand as do most people who make journals! Enjoy your summer at the cottage and happy crafting.

Brenda this is such a wonderful explanation of why we make journals. I think they are a celebration of art, thought and practical magic…if that makes any sense. Lol Big hugs 🤗

[@nameissturdy1390]

Love this and your enthusiasm!

[@peggydid]

Worry not about Midge! It's so good that you have her! I love watching you!

[@elainepereira7483]

This session was wonderful Wendy! I am enjoying watching you create as you go and seeing your process. Please keep all the little 'Wendy tips' coming! Your sharing is appreciated and very helpful. I was so pleased to hear you say that making these journals is something you cannot not do. It is the only way I have been able to explain my passion for this to family and friends. I am inspired and putting together a project bin to take to our cottage this summer. It will be our first summer in the Okanagan in our own place, but of course I must have some journal making time here and there 💕💕 Thank you!

The cd envelope turned out beautiful, Thanks for sharing 🤗💕🌻

[@cheryldouglas234]

Beautiful project! I loved the way you covered the front of the envelope. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[@teresitalamas5304]

Such fun to watch you working on your journals and relaxing. Love the pages and the CD envelope the technic of covering it was amazing perfect size at first shot. Have a wonderful time at the cottage.

[@jennyroberts]

Please show us what Midge looks like.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Will do, soon ❤️

[@wandaspencer9523]

Just beautiful… and I love the front, you mastered the circle! As a fellow Canadian, I understand the apology syndrome ☺️ We just can’t help ourselves! I enjoy your projects and videos. Thanks for sharing. ♥️

[@sharonskains5049]

I love how you covered your CD envelope. That was genius. The entire piece was lovely. The barking didn't bother me a bit. I understand that she is young, and that she is just looking after her humans by warning that she hears noises that shouldn't be heard in her house and they might want to pay attention. It was perfectly sensible to me.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Thanks so much Sharon, you are so kind ❤️❤️

[@marytgarcia1356]

This was beautiful and you did so well about showing how to make it. I know how I’m going to use my stash of CD covers for my junk journals. Thank you for the idea. Midge sounds like she will grow up to be a very good guard dog for you.

[@danoux0]

Hello Wendy! I was beginning to look at origami some months ago on KZbin and it got me to take looks into people that are making junk journal. I decided to give it a try. It is my joy now and when I go into the room I settled to do it it is CALM. And I am a Canadian too from Quebec. Thanks for showing what you are doing. It is a great inspiration...

[@nancybeebe7622]

Wendy that's Gorgeous.Thank you for sharing

[@k.susieroloff4801]

Cool ephemera.....lovin’ this journal......😻

[@susanlowe7603]

I really love the idea of folding the paper in half and tearing it to fit on the CD envelope. I will definitely give it a try, but I will practice a few times first🙂. Thanks Wendy

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Please do!

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Gorgeous piece! Great way to cover the CD envelope!

[@karenlewis632]

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Oh she is lol

[@korsgaardjournals1422]

I have struggled with decorating my cd covers with papers forever. Become I don’t have a die cut machine so I have tried with everything from temple’s and cutting the cd envelope up, and never been really happy for the results. Now I know just how to do…THANKS for sharing 👍🙂 Tina Denmark 🇩🇰 🧑🏼‍🎨 📚📓📔

[@cherylbrackett265]

Fabulous! I loved that you were able to just tear out that circle so perfectly. I am going to try that out in the near future. I am enjoying watching you show us how to embolus this journal.

I can’t not make journals either. It is my joy!! I just started making them last year and I can’t stop. So many wonderful crafts are involved when you make one. Love your channel!! Have a wonderful summer!!😃🌻🌹🍄🍉🍦

Thanks so much Jane! Journal making is such a great way to use so many artistic skills ❤️

Hello Wendy, I could not believe you tore the circle for the cd envelope, I could never do that. Love the flip, thanks for sharing.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

You definitely can do it ❤️❤️

[@wandalorenz7688]

How beautiful thanks for your great tips!

Thanks Annette ❤️

Lovely 🦋⚘🦋

[@beckyb4074]

Forgot to comment on your last video, but I just wanted to thank you for doing this series of videos using the journal kits you just sold. Even though I didn't have the funds to get one of them, I still find these videos useful for whenever I get to make a journal from your awesome tutorial on the cover you are using. Anyway thanks for sharing your time and inspirations. I'm feeling a bit out of sorts with an intense stomach pain, but watching your videos takes my mind off it for awhile. On days like today, I wish I had a cottage/cabin in the woods to go to and just be with nature and God. Hope you are doing well. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Thanks so much Becky! I hope your pain subsides very soon, big hugs 🤗

How you tore that circle so symmetrically was amazing! Lol. Glad to see you crafting from the cabin. 😊

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

I got lucky lol, thanks Sharon ❤️

[@katurato7617]

I really enjoyed this video. I love how everything came together.

[@barbara-dj1uo]

Super cute!!! Thanks for sharing the idea of folding paper in half and ripping semi circle. I’ve been struggling with trying to make a decent looking cut circle for those envelopes and you nailed it!!!

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

I kinda got lucky lol

I'm enjoying this journey with you, Wendy. Smiles for you and an ear scratch for Midge. Carol

Really enjoy this, Ty Wendy Hugs. Maggie ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Thanks so much sweetie ❤️

[@junkjournaldavao]

Can't agree more, Wendy! I can relate much with fussy cutting using my bigger scissors. For me, I think it's the ergonomic feel to it, I'm more comfortable with it hence better cutting. Thanks for sharing, your videos are such a comfort. -Dave 💙

[@rebeccasamaniego9604]

Hi Wendy, I just discovered your channel and have been loving it. I watched your your ring bound journal tutorials. Definitely gonna try do it in a year away. :) Thank you for the idea with the CD envelopes. I have a stack of them and been trying to figure out how to use thow to use them.🥰

[@MissDaisyParsley]

This is beautiful! I like the idea of tearing to get the center out! I'll have to try that next time! I love putting flips in my journals as well! Thanks for sharing!

[@nadianardini7513]

This is so pretty Wendy. I really enjoy your videos with a cup of tea and crochet in hand. Sometimes I get all my papers out and craft along with you. Tfs. xx Ps I love hearing Midge, so cute. My dog passed about a month ago😔

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Oh I’m so sorry Nadia, it’s so hard to lose a furry family member. I’m still getting over losing Stella and Leo last year. Big hugs 🤗

[@nadianardini7513]

@@WendysJournalAdventure Yes, very hard. Thank you Wendy.😘

Hi Wendy!! Angel came running up to me and sat tilting her head when you called Midge. I told her good girl but that's not your name!! 🤣 She's 8 months old too. Going through a "I do what I want" phase. Extra training and positive reinforcement going on here!! Loved your flip envelope and beautiful decorating. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas with us...💜

Was great seeing how fast that came together! Have a great time at the cottage, you should show more of your painting too

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

I plan to, thanks 😊

[@Jeannes1234]

Have you shared a picture of Midge on your channel yet? Would love to see her.

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Not yet, but I will do ❤️

[@penelopemarshall6320]

I'm amazed how perfect your circle turned out mine are always weird looking 😂 Hope Midge is doing well! My mum asked what height and weight is she as her dog seems much taller than most and she was wondering if it is more of the Canadian breed as they are taller than the English version apparently! I will send you some pictures of the sheltie play day they had with the dog show dogs! Like a fairytale. 😊❤️

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Thanks Pene, the photos are adorable! Midge is 24 inches tall to the top of her head and 21 pounds, how does Davey compare?

[@penelopemarshall6320]

@@WendysJournalAdventure Davey is six months old weighs 10 kgs to the head he is 21 inches but you only measure to the top of the shoulder for showing. The Australian restriction for height is 16 inches and Davey is already 16.5 inches!

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

@@penelopemarshall6320 hmmm I’ve definitely measured Midge incorrectly…I will have to measure her again lol
