Put all of your bits and bobs in your monthly journal envelope to create a “nest.” These items can be removed from the nest to add to collages as you continue to work on your journal throughout the year.
You might also find the need to add more envelopes throughout your journal. You can attach them in a variety of ways. Below are a few suggestions.
A variety of envelopes is available, including:
Glassine envelopes
Greeting card envelopes
Paper CD envelopes
Library card holders
journal
envelopes
double-sided tape dispenser
washi tape
craft knife
ephemera
STEP 1: Choose an envelope you would like to insert into your journal. Using a double-sided tape dispenser, add several rows of tape to your envelope.
STEP 2: Press down onto the page where you’re going to insert the envelope.
STEP 3: Insert ephemera into the envelope to add visible keepsakes to your journal.
Hinge the envelope to the edge of a page with washi tape (see Attaching Photos later in this chapter).
