diy mini envelopes

handmade envelopesHello friends, I am back from my little blogging hiatus! I just needed some time to get back into a routine, since I'm back at school for the new semester. It's hard to believe January is almost over! I hope you all have had a wonderful month! Today I just wanted to give you some inspiration with a little paper crafting I've done recently.

I went through my old scraps of paper and made quite a few mini envelopes. I use these for penpal letters, in my planner and sketchbook, and for scrapbooking! If you google "envelope template", you'll have dozens to choose from!

I'm working on finding a balance between school and blogging, as I have to do every semester. Luckily I've got most of my afternoons free, so it's the perfect time to get some creative work done. Do any other bloggers or creatives have tips for balancing work and play? I'd love to hear your advice. I've got lots of blog post ideas that I'm excited to start working on, so I'm hoping to have great content coming to you soon!

Happy Monday!

  2. Hey Jordan,
    those envelopes are way too cute! and I really dig your journal too, it's so pretty!
    I'm not a blogger, so it must be even harder to manage time with that additional work! But it's also hard for me, a busy student, to find some free time. So I usually don't study at home at all, I always go to the library. When I have to study a lot I'll usually leave the library at 8p.m., at home I'll just relax and be creative until I go to sleep. It really helps me a lot to divide work and play physically :)

    1. Yes, I think I need to start going to the library more! I get too distracted when I try to study in my room, and then I don't have time for anything else!
      I'm glad you like the envelopes! :)
