Description:

The objective:
Make one book for one partner.
Finished size no smaller than 4" x 3" (as large as you care to post) Minimum number of envelopes used in construction: 6 used as inner pages This is a journal for your partner to use so if you decorate on top of the inner pages make sure they have space for their own thoughts! Sender's Choice

Make a journal out of UNUSED envelopes for your partner. You can use other materials as well but at least 6 of the things inside the cover must be unused envelopes.

Other than that & the size restrictions above the world is your oyster

Here are some examples of various styles of envelope journal.

Are we sending the journals naked or in another envelope?

I haven't watched the videos yet... but I was wondering if the envelopes all have to be the same size. Can they be of different widths?

@soyprincesa2 the first youtube video is AMAZING and she uses all different widths/sizes of envies. I wish there was a store where I could just buy a few of each size....does anyone know of any stores like this?

  1. Journals should be sent packed into another envelope - not naked!

  2. yes you can use all different sized envelopes! - try your local stationer supplier!
