๐ŸŒบ Forget-Me-Not Friday (Idea No. 19)


Hey there Reader

I'm sending my Forget-Me-Not Friday email a little later today because I woke up this morning and totally forgot it was Friday! I blame the heatwave we're currently having ๐Ÿ˜…

Anyway, I was pondering over what to send this week and I decided to dive deep into my archives. And I mean deep... way back to one of my very first YouTube videos from 3 years ago.

I'm sure many of you have made these before but if you'd like to see how I turned a paper bag, book pages and music sheets into a little happy mail pouch, that's what this week's project is. Check out my video here >> โ€‹

It's funny really. That video is from 3 years ago, but it actually feels like it was longer ago. I guess that's just a sign of how much your style and experience can change with time, eh? ๐Ÿ˜Š

What's new at House of Mahalo HQ?

And now back to the present day...

I've been working on a new kit this week, which features things like sleeping bears, foxes, squirrels and pinecones. Y'know, just a few of my favourite things. I hope to be able to share a flip through of it next week.

For now, though, here's what I've already shared this week:

And that's all from me this week - I hope you have a lovely weekend. I'm going to be filming lots of videos this weekend because my husband is away at a trade show on both Saturday and Sunday, so... bring on the crafting! Hehe ๐Ÿ˜‰

Until next time then,

Justine xoxo

Journal covers with tassels

Hey there Reader Happy Friday! I hope you're ready for another Forget-Me-Not Friday idea? This week, I want to go back to some basics and talk about tassels, spine dangles, spine jewellery, etc, which look a little like this: Now, there are lots of ways you can make these. But a few years ago, at about 3 in the morning, I discovered a super simple way to make them. Since then, I've been making my tassels in the same way every single time. You can see my exact process in this video. I really...

Envelope folio and matching notebook

Hey there Reader It's me, hi, I'm back in your inbox again with another Forget-Me-Not Friday idea! So far, I've shared a lot of ephemera ideas (you can see all my previous emails here). But this week, I wanted to do something different. Sometimes, we need a mini project to sink our teeth into - especially when we're lacking in mojo for a large project or simply because we have leftover papers and supplies to use up after completing a big project. Anyway, this mini folio and matching notebook...

Junk mail envelope pockets

Hey there Reader Welcome to another Forget-Me-Not Friday email and idea! I hope you're looking forward to the weekend? I am because I'm going to be starting my Enchanted Woodland folio journal and I'm super excited about it. There's going to be lots of windows and flip outs and secret spots inside it, so stay tuned for that. For now, though, I wanted to share something inspired by window envelopes, which is where these simple yet super pretty junk mail envelope pockets come in. Here's the...
