Scrapbookers of Dreamwidth, I call on you for aid!

I have several dozen 8.5x11 pieces of paper that need to go into an 11.75x14 inch 2-post scrapbook. 

I'm absolutely stumped. My first thought was top-loading 11.75x14 page protectors, but I cannot find any. 

I cannot tape the paper to anything, and I cannot use a different book. Any advice is welcome!

Ahoy there, adventure gamers! [community profile] monkeyisland is a community for the beloved classic game series Monkey Island, featuring the comedic swashbuckling adventures of the improbably-named Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate™. Anything about Monkey Island is fair game: your own fanworks (art, fic, videos, games, music, cosplay, memes/silliness, whatever), recs of others' fanworks, livestreams/let's-plays, discussions, news and articles, tips for messing about in the game resources or scripting, requests for hints, screenshots, all that good stuff. If Monkey Island is your jam rum rum and jam (it's an old pirate favorite, everybody knows that), then come on over and have a grog.

I noticed that there was no overarching community on Dreamwidth catered towards aspec users (that I know of—although there are a couple of neat ones focusing on different aspec identities) So I made one! It's [community profile] aspec_community . Technically I created it as a continuation of the community I made on Pillowfort, but it's open to any Dreamwidth users who want to join :)

So, trying to find a way to make things more manageable I have set up my first community here on Dreamwidth:

Our Modern Times

This is so current events (politics, wars, scandals etc.) that I would have covered back on Pillowfort in a separate community to avoid causing anxiety or triggers for folks that are have issues can avoid such in my own personal journal.

As usual, I have a Liberal, LGBTQIA+ positive and anti-Republican anti-Fascist anti-genocide and Anti-AI Authoritarians tendency on what I cover, post and discuss. I welcome others with like interests that want to join the community (it's set to open at present) but you can also choose to not join if its likely to cause you anxiety, distress or you just want to ignore these things right now.

I mostly post links to Youtube videos, articles from legitimate sources (not the Trumpie controlled news outlets but respected professional journals, newspapers, and the occasional commentator that I consider reliable in their analysis of things).

I post to inform, discuss what is being said to the content, and what folks can share of their own views and other useful material they may have come across.

A lasercut envelope

This was for a wedding. The young couple had asked for monetary contributions, and we were happy to oblige, but giving money is so boring! I decided to place the money inside a card, and then spruce up the envelope by lasercutting a pattern out of it, so it would show the card inside. I chose leaf patterns because the honeymoon will be to a country with jungle and wilderness areas.

The trick was cutting one side of the envelope without harming the other. This was easy: I slipped a piece of trespa board inside, which is very hard to cut, and it protected the back of the envelope.

Pretty simple, but I like the way it looks. I hope the bride liked it, too.
