Let's transform some plain envelopes into journal pockets with a translucent, dreamlike, under-the-sea quality. But you can use the technique to create almost any vibe you want. These will go into my “Octopus’s Garden” journal, a fun and whimsical inspiration from the Beatles’ 1969 classic. Sing along with me as we create these easy pockets and coordinating page edges together.

The completed journal should be available sometime on July 20, 2026 in my new Etsy shop, Ordinary Paper PDX!

You can visit me at: ordinarypaperpdx.etsy.com
(Don’t forget the “PDX”)

Or: etsy.com/shop/ordinarypaperpdx/?etsrc=sdt

I’ll be adding other new listings as I have products available.

Also, please visit my lovely YouTube creator friends @julietorrens and @craftedbychristyshop
– they always have fun things going on, and you’ll learn a lot from them just like I have!
