    I love the idea of using the felt pads for blending tools, I never would have thought of that but I will be picking up a pack at the Dollar Tree.
    I have never made this type of journal but I'll gather my supplies and play along. God Bless.

    Hi Cindy!🌷🦋🌸
    What a great start to such a fun paper craft! I love it when you explain the crafting process for a new item, because you do such a great job of teaching the technique. You also explain “why this, and not that!”
    This will be so so fun to put together... Can’t wait!! 🌸🦋🌸

    I can't wait to get started on this I am new to this kind of thing an I literally just went through a bunch of mail an toss it but it shouldn't take me long to get another collection. The only thing is what if you don't have the paper pad is there another type of paper you can use? I just can't afford that kind probably not anyway thanks for sharing 💞 I'm just trying to find some ways to get me through my depression much love💞 Star ⭐

    • @CindyALewis
      @CindyALewis  4 роки тому

      Star Edwards Oh sure Star! You can use old book pages. You could use stamp pads, watercolors, etc. to color the pages. Just use what you have! Have fun! There is no right or wrong! XOXO 💕

    Can I add more envelope pages to the 10?

    • @CindyALewis
      @CindyALewis  4 роки тому

      Yes! Just remember the spine is an envelope. You may want to reinforce it. One way is to make your cover by folding and adhering one piece of cardstock for the front and back instead of making a panel. I’m doing this on my November Thankful Heart junk mail junk journal. 🌻🌾🦌🍁🍂

  • @janetmccowen5638
