Morning-now last week due to lack of mojo and inclination I was deleting saved bookmarks and came across a tutorial for a quick and easy envelope journal.
I didn't have the right sized envelopes so cut some down,glued everything together then lost interest.
Due to boredom finally finished it -papers were years old and no idea whose sorry everything else was from an oddments drawer.
The papers are darker and more vintage looking but the light is terrible!

Happy you finished this. It really turned out great. I had never heard of a envelope journal. Thanks, for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteAmazing project. There is so much work involved - no wonder you needed a break from it whilst making it. I look at your work sometimes and think that you need to make a few tutorials so the rest of us can have a go.
