What do ya'll use for adhesive for the sides of your envelopes? I keep having a hard time with my sides popping back open. I've used double sided tape and scrapbookers dry adhesive, oh and glue sticks. Should I just stick to good old Elmers?

I make mine out of scrapbooking paper, most of the time, and I just use a plain 'ol Elmers School Glue Stick. Seems to work fine for me..

I am new--and this is the first swap I've signed up for. I have a question--are the cards we put in the envelopes supposed to be blank? Thanks!

My envelopes are on their way to my partners! I wanted to add more to the package, but I caught this horrible cold recently and it's knocked me out!
