    I know this is a pretty old video, but I still wanted to comment :). I love your channel, your tutorials are so easy to follow and I love how you point out that nothing is really a mistake. This video in particular inspired me. I recently made a journal using this technique and filled it with personal ephemera that I inherited from my Grandmother who sadly took her life before I was born. I gave this to my mother (her daughter) and she cried pretty hard while looking at it, but she loved it and said my grandmother would also have loved how I used her old papers and notes. Thank you for touching my family's hearts by sharing your art and how to make it my own.

    If noone has explained to you yet, that when you zigzag off the edge of the paper to give your journal an edging, it called "overcasting". An overcast stitch.
    I know this is an old video, but having just found your channel I'm beginning to realize I can do this. I have a friend who wanted a paper placemat written on and she was just going to tuck it away some place and eventually it will be ruined. But with the different techniques I have seen in the last few days, I'm going to be able to preserve that placemat for her to treasure for the rest of her life. She is 88. Noone knows how long we will be here, but to preserve this placemat from Mother's Day 2024, will make a special gift for her. So thank you for sharing your talent.

Thank you so much for all this, plus showing the added embellishments that complete the journal. You are so kind.

    I just discovered your channel today from your tutorial on how to make fancy pens, then you taught me how to make the most BEAUTIFUL paper beads that I am just dying to try. I have calendars my mother collected since the 90s as well as SO many National Geographic magazines that my father collected for many many years. I havent been able to throw them away due to sentimental reasons so I have been keeping them stored away for crafts to try one day. You have inspired me to try so many new things this year and I cannot wait. Thank you for taking the time to make these amazing videos. Your channel is a gold mine!!!

I am so terribly sorry for your loss and I hope that you have been continuing to evolve and explore. I think it would be a really cool idea to make the beads to where we could still see our mothers hand writing throughout the beads! Not sure how easy that would be but might be fun to try! I am sending you love and light and hope you have a peaceful day!

    As a tip for the inner layers of serviettes / napkins: I folded them accordion-style (like tissues are folded within a box) and put them into a lidded box with a hole cut in the top, like an oversized tissue box. I keep them on my craft table and use them for cleaning, or for paint brushes, etc.

    Hello Natasha! Bravo! You are an amazing teacher. Your organization, creativity and presentation skills are second to none. I enjoyed watching this video and writing down each step and process. I feel confident that through your lesson I can make an envelope journal. In fact, I can’t wait to get started! Thank you for the thought and LOVE you put into each and every segment of your work.
    Don’t ever apologize for making a video that is too long. It’s very helpful for people like me. You see, am 71 and have short term memory issues. I look at my accumulated journal supplies and don’t know what to do with them. Frequently I have to rewatch a video before I begin to make one of any I purchased a particular punch. In five minutes I can forget something you said. That’s why I have filled an entire notebook with your instructions and keep them by my side as I work - and/or watch a video as needed. I thank God for you, Natasha. Because of you I can create artistic journals, it just takes me much longer than it would the average person. Keep the videos coming. You are an Angel. 🤗❤️ Phyllis

    I cant stand most tutorials. I ffw through them and eventually get annoyed and quit watching but i have watched your entire video without any ffw or annoyance. I love that you don't do any of the stupid dramatic theatrics and i love that you don't go on and on about your personal life like some people do. I have limited data and i am here to learn and i love that you spent the whole tutorial actually teaching.

    I'm going to make some of these to go in my Traveller''s Notebook. BTW, you can compost the white layer from the napkins so it doesn't go to waste. Also, you can iron the napkin before you split it to get rid of the fold lines.

    I was just thinking of an idea with window. Say you have envelopes with window that you cant use. Save the window and adhere to back side. Before completely sealed, add confetti, glitter,. etc and have a shaker window. What do you think? Make it special by adding something that connects you to a person.

So glad I found you, I feel that there will be some binging on your videos, with a cup of hot tea this evening...
