    I was able to obtain a large stack of greeting cards with envelopes and only yesterday started an envelope journal with the pretty pastel envelopes. Wish I had thought of the "spine" idea. It's OK, I have many more envelopes to play with! Thanks for doing the hard work for me, now I only need to follow your lead . . . 🤗

    Morning, Amy!! I love how envelope journals turn out, but they’re so fiddly. But I have SO many, it’s insane. Also, using a wet glue, like tombow glue, gives you a bit of working time to get them placed. This is going turn out so good. Thank you for all you do and thank you for sharing the journey. 💕🥰💕Hugs!

    this looks like fun, I'm just wondering if it would work to cut a piece of light carboard to size and glue the enveloup flaps to it first and then slide the cardboard piece into the cover enveloup....not sure if i'm explaining it right but it might be a bit easier to get things lined up?

    I tried to make an envelope journal once but I totally messed up with the outside cover
    They were hold by a round elastic band and they never hold in place.
    Your technique is longer but everything is secured and you are so meticulous. I love it ❤

    I love your envelope journal! I’ve played around with envelopes a bit, but haven’t ever tried this way, so I’m delighted to see you do a tutorial on it! I’m so glad you mentioned the scotch glue issue, I was getting low & tried ordering them on Amazon. Big mess! The large tubes are $9 a piece! I did see a pack of 10 or something but they’re the little tubes & it’s just an awful amount of plastic in those. So I ordered some large tubes of Avery glue. Just hoping it works…I wonder what the issue is? I’m looking forward to the next video with the envelopes! I hope you get your son settled easily & safely! Erica❤
