I have a stack of collaged index cards that need something. A cluster, a stamp, a fussy cut etc. I have trouble deciding what to use, audition bits and actually put something on about a third. Set the rest to the side to revisit later.
My nemesis is getting started. What if I don't have the right paper, embellishment, make a mistake etc etc. Then I remember crafters don't make mistakes; they cover them up! Been many a card that left this house with a pearl or dab of glitter that wasn't in the original plan! Godspeed to your husband.
When is comes to sewing a straight line, you are my soul sister! LOL! My tip is to put a colored rubber band around the arm of the sewing machine to mark off how wide you want your seam to be. Or, you can use a piece of brightly colored washi tape. this helps me sew straighter. I hope it helps you too. I love this project!
Oh my goodness I simply adore you! If for nothing else it is because of how you sew! We are twinkies in that respect. I love this idea and plan on making a ton of them…JUST LIKE YOURS!
@@MelinaPylant Thanks for your lovely comments last week😊 I had UA-cam issues and couldn't comment for a few days, then I forgot as I forget everything😘
These are just lovely Melina, thank you for sharing. I'm of a different faith to you, but I am sending my love and the brightest of blessing. Take care.
Love this little file notebook❤ love your creative work! Praying for you guys, praying for right doctors, correct diagnoses & speedy recovery! Blessings!!
Stop hoarding all the storms! I want one, too! LOL These folders are really cute. Thank you for emphasizing imperfection. It would be so intimidating to think a project had to be perfect in order to be worthwhile. .
Praying for hubby 🙏🏻 finally! Someone else who isn't that big on decorating! I much prefer the pretty papers to speak for themselves. Decorating takes so much time. I mean I love how it looks at the end, but it just seems so much trouble 😂🙈 I crafted one along with you, and finished before you, solely due to the decorating, I didn't do much. Really love this project, I really look forward to your videos every day now. Lots of love 😘🥰💗 xxx
these are so cute! and i can totally relate to the decorating part! 😂 i usually make prototypes/practice pieces from plain, inexpensive white card stock, or sometimes just copy paper. after that, hmmmm?🤔 now i have to think of how to decorate or even, what nice paper to use.....hmmmm? that “still deciding” phase can go on for days. 🤦🏻♀️ yikes! anyway, sending big thanks and thoughtful prayers!🙏🏼
I have a new channel…and am working through your scrap busters which I video, they even have their own playlist on my channel…obvs I don’t get many views, being new but I also (in my descriptions) link all the channels I follow inc yours
Hi, Melina, I know what you mean about decorating! Sometimes the paper is so pretty I hate to cover it up & I’m not very good at knowing where to put things & what to use! I haven’t been at this very long & I struggle! You did a great job! Prayers & hugs!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
I concur with decorating. It's definitely the most time consuming for me. I also never throw away scraps. I have enough for several people. Lol! I work through a good bit, but the next day, those used up scraps are quickly replenished. 🙄🙄 lol Love these!
What is straw paper? I hear the term used all the time, but I don’t know what it means. How is it different from other paper? BTW, I didn’t even know you had a channel, until I heard your mom referencing it on her channel. It cracks me up when you say, “I took it from Mom’s stash,” and she says, “I got it from Melina’s stash but don’t tell her.” LOL
Ha! Yes we swipe from each other. Straw paper is a rough type of paper that has the consistency of construction paper. The straw is pressed to form the paper.

Yes!
These are cute. I made journal pockets out of them. In two sizes smaller.
Awesome!
Thank you for another great video Melina! May God wrap you and your family in His loving, comforting and healing arms. Prayers.
Thank you so much!
This is the cutest file folder notebook!
Love this!❤
Completely agree, construction is more enjoyable then decorating.
So cute! 🥰
Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!!

I think your "wonky" stitching is what makes it special. I'm a seamstress and when I sew on paper it is never straight.
Awwww! Thank you! :)
So adorable 😊. Love all the distressed edges.
Thank you! 😊
I adore these. Thank you for the share
Very beautiful I❤️ it very much 😍💐
