This is exactly what I was looking for. I'll add two of these pockets to my journal, one in the front for a little booklet and one in the back for a notebook.

I appreciate your teaching techniques, content applicable to the project, your side written notes and clarity. You are a creative designer and thank you for sharing your endless techniques with us!

I just joined your Chanel and you cannot know how happy I am. You are a fabulous teacher. I love your notes and clear instructions. Thank you so much.

This is lovely!!!! TFS. Nice to hear an Australian accent on RU-vid. Hi from Cessnock NSW.

Natasa, you are an excellent and thorough instructor! Thank you for this video 🙂

I love you...‘it’s too busy, but I’m going to use it anyway’ you are marvelous!!! xxx

Oh Natasha, this is just lovely. Doesn't matter to me if their is some extra 'plump' on the page, I too find a way to write around it. I always enjoy your videos - ALL of them!!! ... You keep it simple and elegant, lovely and creative - Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful craft/art. Blessings in Kindness and Peace Michelle

Love this idea Natasha, tyvm for all the inspiration you give Hugs. Maggie. ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️

I LOVE this video! I can understand the difficulty in walking us thru' the process. Making it looked much easier, but your instructions are so good that I do believe I'll give this a try! TYFS

What a great idea, Natasa. I have little extras that I just tuck into my journal for when I'm ready to play. This is the perfect way to keep them safe. I love it! Thank you!

Once again, a very pretty and functional project, Natasha!

Wow I just recently found your page and have been watching a lot of your videos. I enjoy them so much and now am making my first journal. My husband also likes to watch and listen to your videos and he doesn't even like crafting. I thank you so much for all the information in your videos and all the inspiration you give. I have also used some of your ideas in other types of projects, and just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy the videos and what you teach.

You are precious and this extension even better storage fun. Who doesn’t want more space?

Your tutorials have literally saved me from mucking things up trying to be creative. I love everything you do and how attentive to detail you are and it has really helped me be brave enough to create my own things after watching you for about a month. I'm not sure where you are in life now, but I just wanted you to know that you are still an inspiration!

I have missed you! Don't think I missed a video, but... This is soooo great! Love it! Thank you so much for teaching us. I love the book page one also. Like the other too! Needed a "Natasa fix" so double thanks. GORGEOUS nails😉

Thank you so much I really really love ❤️ these pockets so versatile and useful too. And I really really love ❤️ the ones you made. Very very smart. And clever too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

I love it! Mine came out great, thanks to your clear instructions. Have a great weekend, Natasa!

Natasha you make things so aw inspiring and beautiful. You can take a piece of paper and a glue stick and make anything I'm sure of it!🤗🐞🥰

Thank you for this demonstration. I like how you write out your directions and then follow them to make sure they are accurate! Thanks again.

Thank you Natasha, I watched this right before going to bed. I woke up the next day & made several without watching the video again. They turned out beautifully. I always get comments on how beautiful my crafts are, I always say “it’s because I have the best teachers”. I watch all of your videos & completely understand everything your teaching. Your absolutely one of my favorites here on RU-vid. Thank you so much for sharing your crafts with us. Charlene

Love the expandable pocket, this could be used throughout the journal. They are just lovely. Your journal is coming along beautifully. Take care and stay safe. ❤️Theresa

Loved those pockets Natasha ! Really cool and quick to make ! Thank you for sharing .

Beautiful pocket! Can’t wait to try some, you are an awesome teacher, Natasa!😎

Those expandable pockets seem so helpful! I love how chunky that journal is 😍😍😍

Love it , Tasha! And you always explain so well. Have a super fantastic day 💜💜💜✌️✌️ Sherry

Thank you for your commitment to filming - you are more creative on your bad days than I am on a good day!!! That’s why your tutorials and examples are so important and inspiring. Sorry you are sad - sad sucks

Fold widthwise . I like the print pages too. Enjoy you bit of humour too. I can even picture this out of fabric as a purse!

Ditto what everyone has said! 😉❤️ great video (as always!). I haven’t tried these yet, but your video, clear instructions and the notes (to fall back on) have inspired me to try! And I LOVE the journal you showed. So pretty! Thanks Natasa!

Hello. I am French and don't speak English very well. But I tell you that I love your chains very much. I learn a lot there and your explanations are very easy to follow. thank you.

I am loving these easy yet beautiful projects ❤

Love your creations and how you explain them ♥️ I improve my English while I learn so wonderful things, thank U

Hi nirasha I am alina I am 10 but still love to junk journal I follow evey single tutorial of yours and I have to admit that I love your tutorial

You are a joy to watch, thank you. This makes a nice gift packet too

Your videos are so easy to follow, I am doing my first junk journal and I have made12 items (3 of each) of your tutorials and planning on doing many more. So I thank you for easy instructions. Hope this finds you well.

Made perfect sense! Love your ideas. I totally understood everything you were saying and doing. Makes me wish I could go make one of these right now. Thanks for all your videos. I always look forward to yours! 💖

Great idea. Bigger envelopes/pockets that is what I need to hold more mementos. Thank you for such a detailed tutorial.

What a great project Natasa! I'll be making a few of these to hold some ephemera in! Be safe & TYFS

That's such a great idea ,I just love this 💖so inspirational, thank you very much hugs from Florida 💕🌴🌴

What a great idea of expandable pockets. Thank you, love the idea, it's so easy⚘💖

This is the perfect follow up for the 2 Envelope Journal Ephemera Storage Books I made, inspired by you. I will be adding these to my books. Thanks Natasha and I love all the other expandable pockets...will make a great gift filled with fun stuff! BTW...you always make sense.🤗👍❤️

I just watched this one. I love love love these🥰 I had to pause halfway through to make one😍😍😍

this is awesome. I have seen people make "writing boards" to move around a journal so they can write on pages. A great piece of ephemera. Your embellishing is always gorgeous.

You’re a magician! How simple you made this seem. Can’t wait to make one...or ten for myself. Thank you!

Reminds me of a jellyfish stem on the book page pocket❤

Love how you show differing sizes, colors, and ideas to help get our design juices flowing! And your instructions! ❤❤❤

I'm working on a journal right now. I'm going to add one of these pockets. Thanks for all the inspiration you give!

Love This!! You’re just so creative and have a soft easy flow voice to explain. It really does help newbies like myself.

I love these expandable pockets! Thank you!

Great video, easy to follow, as usual! Thank you

Once again your project amazes me in the way you take such a simple book page and turn it into something eloquent. And your instructions are so very explicit and easy to follow. I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

These are super cute 😍

Thanks, very nice and I loved the last pocket too

I always love to watch you create. Thank you for sharing.🥰

Beautiful ... the idea, the instructions AND the finished project!! I can't wait to make several!

I love these pockets. They all look beautiful 💜

Love it❣️Just perfect❣️Thanks for sharing. Lyne xxx😘

Love this tutorial! I’ve saved it in my junk journal playlist.

I like it very much. The last pocket you made was my favorite. Thanks for sharing. 🙂❤

These are absolutely lovely, lovely‼️🌸💕👍🏼🌼

Love it!!

I think it’s just lovely

Natasha, Yes!! I made one of these pocket things too to hold small stencils and stickers for my bullet journal. The one I made was a stand-alone deal, cuz I have that much BuJo stuff. I think I made it from two manilla folders I stuck together for thickness (it's been a while) and made the same thickness for the pockets - two short ones on the left and one on the right - and for the "aordians" as well. It didn't occur to me to make some for anything journal related (our kind of journal, I mean). You just saved me 30 bucks cuz I was about to purchase several packs to hold smaller pieces of ephemera, like stamps and flowers and the like, one envelope for each category. Tell ya' what... I'll keep that $30.00 in my pocket, drive over to your house to pick you up, 🚙, and we'll go have some lunch, my treat. 😃🥗🍛😁 We'll have a great time! Tee hee 🤭😅 With love from the Southern California desert, MK 💗🌞🌵🚙

Love this pocket. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you! I have been looking for a new type pocket! Love it 😍

I will defininatley make some of these Natasa for the baby journals I'm making right now for my 2 great grandbabies to be born next month. You have again inspired me.💙💟

I love it! Thank you for sharing this idea.

Like Meg Perry, I'm also making a book. I'm getting into bookbinding as a new hobby and I didn't realize how straightforward this pocket was to add in my projects. Thank you for such a great tutorial! Btw, I really like the other side of the pocket paper you used, the circles print is pretty, but so is the bright orange gradient 💜

Beautiful work. I love the pockets. Great instructions. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️😊

You make me look at paper items in a whole new way. Thank you SO much! I don't make these to sell, I make them because they bring joy to my life. Good thing I have 2 daughters, 5 little granddaughters. and lots of girlfriends. I'll have plenty to keep me busy! I'm planning on going to the Grand Canyon in June.
