The air mail envelope made to be lighter “For better flying” had me giggling while crafting along for an embarrassing amount of time. 😂❤

[samski]

Hi Margreth! I am in love with how these cards. Your collage techniques are very inspiring. 💜⛟💜⛟💜

This was lovely to watch. Yes, USD (University of San Diego) is still there. I live about 20 minutes away. And you pronounced La Jolla perfectly.

I really like these! You come up with great decorating ideas so quickly. I'm a very slow decorator. I think I second guess myself too much. loved the peak at your journals, too. 💞

I just had an idea. I dont have a die cut machine but you could use that window die on a regular envelope after you collage it. I collaged a window env and it was a pain.😂😊❤i hate coffee dying also . Guys check Cathy's garden she just uses a slurry of instant cofee with a sponge brush. And dries with heat tool. Not messy at 😊❤ all. Great for small projects. Love that you did two per theme. You always get me chuckling...red blue red blue scared me😂😂i remembered the dark pastel ones. Love them. Ooo you got my curiosity up...cant wait. Thanks margreth

'It's like an Olympic sport' - brilliant!! 🤣🤣

[Crafting_Whimsy]

Thanks so much for your easy explanations I appreciate your patience and understanding of brand new journal era and crafters. You ROCK! 🎉❤🎉

You are so cute, I enjoy your Dutch accent very much. My grandfather, Cornelius Vander Jagt and my grandmother Cornelia Van Strien were born in the Netherlands. Your voice reminds me of Grandma's voice many years ago (I'm 70!)
Your happy attitude make listening fun. I have been a artist for many years painting watercolor. I am now using photos of my art to design tags, pockets and anything to do with journals.
I fussy cut the photos and apply them with glue. Trying to make my own ephemera, one of a kinds!
Thank you for the hours of happy, relaxing fun.

[blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

I do remember you making them! They are adorable. And I’m so glad you did them again because I completely forgot. I need to make one for my ideas journal. Gorgeous as always! Hugs 🤗❤️

[nancypyter]

These are so fun to make Margreth! So many ideas, different die cut openings, love seeing the image of the page behind it too! Thanks for the chuckles girl!🥰

[carold.]

Im new to your channel love it very much !! These are interesting!! Just put on my to do list ! Enjoy your company as well !

[alishastubbs]

Oh Margreth! Everything you make is just pure perfection! So lovely! Guess what I just got in the mail today!?!😁 Stamp albums just like yours! I found a Dutch seller who had them and I bought 5 in different sizes all filled with stamps! I have so many of your beautiful queen and Nederland! I am beyond thrilled! And it’s all your fault how addicted I am to these 🤣😂🤣😂💜🥰🌺 I do want to ask your expertise of something, how do you suggest is the best way to organize them? As far as crafting in your style, by color, country, subject or just randomly? I know you have different albums with different ways of organizing, should I put all my stamps in my 1 big A4 album or just what fits into a smaller A5? Haha 😛 I’m sorry 😊 I’m a little overwhelmed. But so happy 🥰🎟️🗺️🐈🏷️🦋🌸💜🎫🪺✂️📄🖇️🖼️
