  • In this tutorial I show how I re-purpose and decorate envelopes laying around the house for your journals. I've used two of the ArtyMAZE Iris & Flowers digi kits, these are absolutely gorgeous Kits filled with iris images, my favourite flower! Thanks so much Andrea!

    Just found this jewel of a video! Love this. Your style, while universal among many, is uniquely your own. Love it. Making this tomorrow as a gift for a friend leaving her position on a job. Thank you for your inspiration, dear Wendy. There is just one thing missing. Sweet Leo. ❤😘🐱

    So happy to hear you are feeling better! I 😺🌻 You are just so creative. I really like the darker thread. I just did a journal and used a darker color myself. I think the contrast just makes it pop.

    I love watching your videos. Your pieces and your tutorials are inspiring and so helpful, and your voice so calming. Thank you!
    I do have a tip to share: sewing machines work best if the needle is changed fairly frequently. The needles become blunt and develop burrs which cause holes, thread nests, and throw the machine’s timing off. I have learned the hard way that needles cost much less than repairs (or a new machine) and a scolding by a sewing machine repairman.
    Goodness do I ever sound preachy! Not meaning to at all. Just wanting to save you from some of the trials I’ve run into with my machine. Happy sewing!

    I loves 💜💛 irises. They are my favorite flower. I bought some project life cards at Tuesday Mornings after you showed me what to use them for. I just got them so I haven’t had a chance to play with them yet. They will be the perfect sizes and just the right amount of stability. Thank you for sharing how to use them. Never heard of them until watching you.
    Love all your tips. Happy Week!

  • @DarlenesCreativeStudio

    Thanks again Wendy for a great tutorial. I love to find old kids games with missing pieces and use up the playing cards that come with the games. HeadBandz has great size cards for repurposing. Looking forward to more great ideas!

    Yay!!! A tutorial instead of a haul, swap or challenge. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy all of those, but I really love tutorials. I hope to be able to do them on my brand new channel. I just need to figure out a way to hang my camera overhead. The heat hasn't bothered me too much because I'm able to stay inside. But I hate it for those who don't have air conditioning and the people that you have mentioned. Thank you again for doing this tutorial.

    Beautiful ArtyMAZE paper with your lovely envelope what does the crafting world need more! Your tutorials are the best Wendy. I got a new kitchen on Monday and it didn't work out as it should and now I have to wait for weeks to get new delivery (pieces missing and the working table piece was broken). But in between will make some videos (one is just loading) and watch a few of your great ones. It's raining in Germany after a long sunny period. Flowers love this whether!

    Hi Wendy n Leo 😍
    Beautiful uscaled envelope 😘
    I like the darker thread it gives it a nice aged look!
    As for vacation I just returned from ancestral lands at Chaco and Walnut canyon National Park, plus vla visit to the Petrified Forest NP and a privately owned Meteor Crater!
    Last weekend I went hiking with two of my sister s and brother at my home place the Sierra Nevada Mountains at Devils Postpile NP and Tyree Trail John Muir wilderness. Plus spent a night camping at a natural Hot spring Olympic sized pool Keoughs Hot Spring near my home town 😍
    Lots more going on ... family reunion, visit with daughter and family in Ohio and spending lots of time with hubby 😍
    Crafting will be in the backdrop for a few weeks LoL
    Love all your inspiring JJ works😍😎

  • @JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS

    Love this. I just bought myself one of the retired tab punches. I absolutely love it and I've been watching for a "deal" on one for awhile. I found mine on eBay also and it was on like a 10 day bid starting at $20 or buy it now for $32 including shipping! (US shipping) so I of course bought it now and feel great that I got my very wanted tab punch and a "deal"!

  • @lisaowen2930
    @lisaowen2930 Před 6 lety

    Beautiful! I have had two daughters sell Stampin' Up at different times but while they still sold the Round Tab punch and they told each other how wonderful it was, their paper addict mom never heard or noticed it until it was discontinued! One of them actually found on eBay and got it for me!!! I have a pad of cardstock that has old glossy coated photos and they make the most marvelous tabs!

      @WendysJournalAdventure  Před 6 lety

      Joan Macleod thanks Joan! I would put the flap of the envelope over the outside edge of a journal page and clip it in. That way the tag would be on the outside of the page. ❤️

    Beautiful as always!! Do you happen to know what size needle you have in your machine. I don’t I think I’ve changed my needle twice in the 30 years I’ve had my machine. I did a test piece and it left big holes in my opinion. Also what are these project life cards so many people speak of and have an abundance of? Are they worth getting? I’ve never seen them in the store.

  • @cherrb23
