Hi Martha, I only found Junk Journals and finding all the beautiful videos. I see I am a bit late to finding this video, Great Job on this Journal. The flip through is great! and it is nice to hear your acknowledging "Gina" I am searching your videos and watching how you have created this same Journal Love the small journals as well. I was surprised to see it was a bag!!. Great Job

You’re welcome! Watch out! These are addictive! 😁

I love brown paper bags but those lovely thick ones are not so easy to find in the UK. I have some that are printed but then that won’t show when they’re collaged over, so I think I’ll just use those because I really want to make one of these! And please remember to go gently and not strain those eyes because the one is still healing!! x

I figured there would be people that might not be able to get the same size bags - that's why I wanted to show how to do it with different sized bags and envelopes! I hope you do try it - it's sort of addicting - but then - what of this craft isn't???? LOL Thanks for joining me. I think I did over-do it a bit today but I was finally having some fun. Can't wait till both eyes are on the same page, LOL. Take care!

I enjoyed watching this SOOO much. It was very relaxing and you seem like a super sweet human. 💜

Made one today. Used paper surgical, or non allergic tape around all the edges of pockets and sides and then glued floral paper over it. It is absolutely adorable! I'm for sure making more soon! Thank you for the inspiration. Hope your eyes heal quickly. Linda Winchell

So glad your next surgery is early a.m.. will be praying for you and your doctor. The clutch sure is beautiful. Definitely going to make a couple of them. Love your video.

This is amazing Martha! Just love it. You've inspired me to try and make one (when I have time, lol). I can't tell you how excited Stef and I were to see you using one of our papers! It was a surreal experience for me. Stef was sitting here designing some more, you inspired him to keep going! Thank you so much for sharing. Hugs Rachel

Aw Rachel, what an honor to have you watch MY channel! I really enjoyed using your papers and I know you and Stef have been very busy making more! I can't wait to continue to use them! You're the best, and you've taught me how to collage so much better - both digitally and with papers and fabrics! I hope you have a wonderful trip, a fantastic holiday, and come back safe and sound. Tell Stef he needs to speak in more videos (wink wink). I also love Lulu! Can't wait to see what 2020 has you bringing to us! Hugs my dear friend. Be safe.

Many thanks to you and Gina for this great project! I made one yesterday with my 6yo granddaughter and we had such fun! This will be one of my favorites for a while I'm sure as there's so many ways to change it up.

😂😂 I always get in a mess too! I can’t even tell you how many t-shirts I’ve wrecked with gesso and paint. 😬 When you re-stitch your original bag, you could reinforce the sides with lace or a fabric strip and stitch through that...? Great news about the next surgery appointment being confirmed! Best wishes for that, and thanks for the fun video. 🤗x

I think Gina has the tear ruler on her favorites through Amazon.

Mrs. Martha🤔 wasn't it the seam that ripped? Why didn't you just reinforced the seams with washi-tape and then sew it? Wouldn't that have strengthen the edges from ripping?

Do you loose your gusset when you slide the reinforcement paper in because it doesn’t have the gusset to match the bag? I hope that makes sense

Cindy, mostly what I used was Antique Paperie on Etsy and the 2 I use (a LOT) are the "Sophia's Garden" and "French Market" papers. I am not sure if she still has those in her current shop, but she also opened a shop with the papers she retired (you can find the link in her original Etsy shop) so they may be there. Thank you for watching and commenting. I hope you find the papers because they are my favorite~ though you could use any paper on this project. Give it a try!
