I'm so sad to hear of the students passing. It's just too sad. Thank you for sharing and speaking about suicide and depression your words will certainly help someone. Your words were perfect. 🙏🙏🙏

I am very new to all paper creating and crafts, so thank you for going thru basics. I know this is an old video but I'm glad I found it. Even if it's old school, it is new to me. Also, thank you for talking about SI and mental health. I suffered for too long despite reaching out for help that I didn't get before reaching a crisis. By the grace of God and first responders, I'm still here. I'm now a mental health and substance use counselor hoping to help others before they reach crisis. 💗

So sorry to hear about your student. I retired from over 40 years of teaching a few years ago. It's so sad, how frequently it really does happen. I am glad that you spoke about it so openly! I'm enjoying your videos.

Thank you so much for sharing. You are so right about our Junk Journaling being our therapy....it is mine as well. Our prayers go out to your community and especially the family of this young man who had no hope. I pray your message is heard and taken to heart.

Crafting as definitely my therapy, thank you for sharing not only your skills but also your care

I. I didn’t know you too years ago but I am happy 😊 I can see you now Love all that you do so thank you for sharing Theola

Very very pretty love ❤️ the vintage look thank you for sharing 👍😊

I love your work and love journaling but new to it and still don't have all the supplies I need.. you are easy to watch because you are very down to earth and easy to listen to because you are not loud and silly.. never apologize for being who you are.. Luv'n'stuff ~~~Flora~~~

What a great idea.Love envelopes and never knew how many ways we could use them.I have just found your channel.Thank you .

I'm new to paper crafting, thanks for sharing this with me

Very pretty!

Hello Amy, I love your videos. Very pretty envelope thingy you made . 🌼 💚 🌼

Catching up on your videos, as I have been out of commission the last little while ... sending hugs, I agree with what you have said about getting help. I have been on both sides of that, being the one who felt there was no other option ( I did get help ) & I have been effected by coming extremely close to loosing someone too. It’s ages since I made a double envelope like that, I used to make them into cards, & then have a gift tag in the pocket .. I think re inventing old favourites a good idea. Can’t wait to play your Digi kits x

New to your channel thank you for what you do. No traveling for a while. this summer I may be able to go to Michigan for a bit to visit my children and grand children and great grand children. I am in Alabama so it is a good drive to there and back.

I love the envelope Amy. I'm sorry to hear about your student. Depression touches most of our lives than we care to admit. Hugs girl!

Thanks so much for your open dialogue it seems to be so widespread these days and we are loosing too many young people, it's so very sad really. Loving the double sided envelopes it was fun watching.tfs...Hugs

Thank you so much for sharing 😍! Fantastic love it 🥰! I’m making one with you so excited! It will be my project for day 27 and all credit is for you🤗. I was so sad to hear about you student! Heart breaking! I hope you feel better soon 😊

I love this digital kit! I have been using it a lot lately! I will have to make one of these... This is really sad ..I know this vid is a few months old but my heart goes out to the family and friends. so sad. My mother took her own life and it is just such a tragic situation for people to deal with. ....

I love 1920's images too! Anything vintage! I love the way you speak and the way you teach. I'm super new to journaling. I'm trying to get educated! Thank you for your channel!

Sorry for the loss of your student. Suicide is a response to overwhelming conditions , not always planned out. They end their suffering but the ones they leave behind are left with the pain and unanswered questions. I lost my only child to suicide at 33 from depression and highly intoxicated whose wife dared him. One of the things I have learned is to say one “completed” suicide instead of “committed”. Noone knows ones level of tolerance and we need to address depression and learn coping skills and reach out for help. Love your envelopes. I am working on a vintage journal using some pictures of my grandparents. Will try creating my own vintage collage papers and have copies made of them to use. Thanks for the tips.

That is so cool!

I find that I seek out new channels whenever I have a new interest. I have recently started making junk journals, so I'm looking for ideas. Besides, giving me new ideas, I like to watch long videos, in which the youtuber is talking. (And, when I like their voice. Some voices, I just can't listen too.) So, your channel hits on all my points.

Love, love, and love it! TFS...

Your right I have never tried or made one so I’m enjoying your video but I think I will try to make one

Amy, I just discovered you tonight--and this is the third video I've watched. Thank you for your good ideas and your kindness!

hello all the way from Cape town , South-africa. I recently subscribed and i just want to thank you for all the great tutorials.

This turned out lovely Amy. You're so right that we forget about things that we made lots a while back so it's great to revisit some old but great ideas xx

Thank you so much for sharing around a very tough topic. Loved the small booklet!

Hi there, new subscriber here. Love your envelope pocket. I started my channel round about May or June this year I think and began junk journaling Feb/March this year. I just love it and find that collecting the supplies you need/want for it is a hobby all on its own 😂😂. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Amy I love your videos. I so agree with you about the suicide thing. My sisters best friends husband just killed himself this past week end Not a clue did his wife have. It is so shocking and I think it is so selfish too. If people would just talk to someone. Just keep up the good work on your channel. Love it.

Love your papers... very creative and pretty!

🙏🏻💕. So glad you are showing this. I am new to Papercraft.

I love how your envelope turned out. Good job!

Thanks for sharing! I was crafting along with you.

This has been a fun video! Love it! TYFS ❤

Amy, this is the first video of your I've seen, after Tina at Shabby something mentioned your channel. I have subscribed and look forward to many more informative and interesting videos. As I've watched you I've pondered why some KZfaq persons pique my interest and others I watch five minutes then go somewhere else. First of all I was impressed by your genuine care for others when you discussed the suicide of your student and your plea for depressed people to reach out for support. As a therapist (Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas) I thought everything you said was on point and expressed well. Many years ago a client told me that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem I've never forgotten that wise saying. Also, I appreciate the natural style you have. There are KZfaq celebrities with smooth voice-overs, elegant studios, and thousands and thousands of dollars in supplies. Personally I don't really identify with those people very well. I appreciate their demonstrations but I'm left feeling I need to buy more stuff, instead of using what I already have. I like the people beset who have jobs and children and stress and they still carve out time for crafting, for sharing with unknown others, and caring deeply about what they do. Please forgive the lengthy comment. You impressed me and I just wanted to let you know you do a great job on KZfaq, and it sounds as though it is a reflections of the rest of your roles as wife, mother, teacher. Blessings to you and yours. Diane

Thank you so much for this! Turned out beautiful tfs ❤️🌹

So sad for your student. I’ve experienced that in our family too. Love your video.

Thank you so much for sharing, I feel so sad about your student. Hopefully anyone looking at this video will share your thoughts. We all need to come together and help where ever we can.

Hi Amy, I uploaded a video yesterday making one of these, linking this video of course. Thank you again for the inspiration x

Thank you that was fun, I did actually make one with you and I can see many more in my future.

Thank you for speaking openly about suicide it is very important to have that dialogue💛 I'm so sorry for your loss my prayers are with you😔 Thank you for sharing this on so many levels ✨💛

I loved this video. Great conversation and important too! I’m a new subbie from Rachel’s channel. 😊

Amy, I was so sorry to hear about the suicide. It's so hard for everyone to come to terms with. Thank you so much for this great tutorial, I have some books with the twenties and forties and fifties in, and seeing how you used them pictures in, I can see how I can use them too. I really really love what you've made, it's stunning and gorgeous. xxx Mags

Hi ya, New subbie here from Rachels channel, love your project and am off to buy your digi papers, as to your discussing Suicide, good on you as so much assistance is needed on this subject and so many dont talk about it like its a tabu subject, i lost a very dear friend a month ago I hadn’t been in contact with as he shut everyone off, i was angry with him at first when i found out but now i wish id been more consistent in trying to contact him, it affects so many people, looking forward to seeing more creativity

The pocket envelope came out awesome...lol...I do the same thing with my inker...set it down and a circle darker than the rest shows up and it's hard to blend sometimes...lol. Hugs xoxo Denise

Great video, thank you. New subbie here x

When using a date stamp you could use the 19 covering the June so it stamps on a scrap only putting down the 19, then go back and use the 23 next to the 19 stamping the June again on the scrap sheet. You will actually get 1923

First of your videos to watch😉. Subscribed and looking forward to “catching up!” Very cool! Love this idea! Thanks for sharing. So very sorry to hear of your student...so heartbreaking.

Hi Amy came over from Tina's channel. I love papers from antique paperie too.Loved listening to you .I am currently working on my design team projects for Ephemeras Vintage Garden and planning for another design team project for Nevermore Creations 17. Also I started following you on Instagram too. I have also subbed to your KZfaq channel.❤❤❤

Oh, funny Amy.....when you glued down the large piece I was saying out loud like you could hear me “no Amy, no other side” 😀 . It came out really nice regardless.

I came here via Rachel at Roxy Creations and I’ve really enjoyed watching you create your beautiful pocket envelope 😃 I’ve subscribed to your channel (I don’t have one) and will enjoy watching your other videos. TFS! 😊

🌹🌺❤️🌸🎈💙🌷BEAUTIFUL, LOVE THE GORGEOUS PAPERS🌷🌺🎉💜🦋❤️🌸💚

can someone please respond, would be so grateful. what kind of paper is being use? This all new to me.

Hi, new sub here, love your collage envelope.

I just like to watch you , I never did like talking videos of most channels. But lately I have a few :) I think you are relaxed . I hate it so much when people are sooo over the top try to be funny or giggling or that Ohhhhhh Myyyyyyyy Goddddd sound. In Europe thats not something most of us like. So you dont have to be outgoing or silly as you call it |:) Just fine as you sound now!!! Love your double envelop thing. I have no sewingmachine( I hate sewing) , hope most videos are without that, I will catch up :) TFS

Sorry about your student. Thanks for starting the important dialogue. I enjoyed this project. TFS.

What size of paper do you use to make copies of those

What is the clear ruler called? It is a good tool.

The printed sheets look larger than 8.5x11”, areThey? If so, did you have them printed locally? What weight paper? Thanks!

Where did you get the ruler? I like it Beautiful video thank you for sharing ❤️❤️

I guess what I’m trying to ask is that just regular copy paper

It was very kind of you to bring up suicide. It's so hard for someone feeling hopeless to see a happy future. For teens who think they can't broach the subject In person there are phone hot lines.

Hi, new subscriber. I watch Rachel’s channel “roxy creations” she is my inspiration for all my crafting projects. I don’t have KZfaq channel. Thank you for sharing. Awesome video.

That “everyday” look could well be a maids pinafore for doing dirty work... I think it looks lovely though!

Could you share Riya’s Etsy shop?❤

Hi Amy, I love the craft that you're making. I have been learning how to make junk journal's. I love it. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
