You always know when a hello from you makes a hard day better. I appreciate you!

Love the double page spread (at 29 min.) with the 2 birds and red and white theme colours.

Gayle, watching you create such lovely things out of scraps and bits and pieces just amazes me!! I am LOVING this collage book!! You truly make me want to craft along with you!!! - Deonne

I love this journal. You should be very proud of it. I becomes more beautiful and creative every time. 👍🌲🌲

I’m 3 videos behind and so happy! Now I get to binge watch while I clean☺️☺️

Really beautiful pages. What fun to use all different designers and styles in one book!

Beautiful, loving the coordination of papers....on to the the next episode. 👍🎄🎄🎄

Always a joy to watch you craft Gayle, TFS! 🙏

That Christmas wrapping paper is adorable.. Hope your electrician shows up. Tyfs

Oh our weatherman is always wrong...but then again it is Missouri...they say if you don't like the weather here just wait 5 minutes...lol. Don't you just love that feeling...when something you had scheduled falls through and "Oh gosh...I guess I can pop back into the craft room" is the first thought that runs through your head? lol. Loving the Altered Book! Hugs and Blessings Denise

You and that bunny bottom. You just keep me laughing. Love your videos! 🌸

Making my first altered book. 2 pages in. I have cut my paper too wide. Didn’t think about how it would affect the spine. Glad I caught it early. Thanks Gayle for all you do.

Both spreads are Devine! You really has a talent! Hope your weather allows you to get to the garden or not if you prefer.🍄🥰💜🌻

Hi, Gayle, thank you for your kind words. Your collage altered book is looking great. I have to really rein myself in with embellishing these kind of books because they tend to alligator rather quickly for me. I am transforming Daphne's Diary magazines into Traveler's Notebooks for myself. I call these my glue books because they don't have my usual things and stuff dangling and dripping of the edges of the pages. This glue style is quite challenging for me. It's nice to see how others collage.

Poor Santa - that'll slow him down some. Gorgeous altered book Gayle. I am inspired to carry on with mine. It's not a Christmas one as I started it some time ago and like all things, I get distracted and it becomes another half-finished project. Sigh.

I truly enjoy watching and listening to your thoughts with each page. Have learned so much. Hopefully soon I will be ready to get some things made. Back is doing well. In a lot of pain. But I am finally home and able to be in charge of recovery. Hugs! 🏡💗

Always a pleasure. Thanks!

Great job as usual. You make it look so easy & effortless.

Your pages both turned out really beautiful as always. I worked in my Christmas altered junk journal as well. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

So many yummy pages in this one, Gayle! 😍

Really need to finish my project. Have so much on my mind and many ideas. Thanks for sharing!

It is coming out great Gayle!! I love it!!!

I am loving all the papers! xoxo

This is going to be wonderful!

Love this book. Thanks for sharing

Love this! So nostalgic! Reminds me of the traditional Christmas movies I watched as a kid and the beautiful red and green colors.

Poor Santa lost his feet again!! 😳 You’ve turned into a serial Santa ripper!! DON’T LOOK, CHILDREN!!! 🤣🤣😘

You just brighten my morning lol. Yesterday’s video had me lol 😂 along with you. I love it when you crack yourself up 💕.

Another fun video Gayle. Can’t wait till the next one..... cyndi m.

You have inspired me! I am going to take a stab at another altered book. I have been making craft fair items and have been in my Christmas paper and ephemera, so why not use it to make a Christmas altered book like you! If it turns out half as cute as yours I'll be happy! - Patti

I really love the Christmas Journal your making!!!! I really want to start one also. I've been working on Christmas cards and tags today. So much fun ✂🎅🤶 Christmas in July it feels strange because it's my first time working on this in the summer and especially here in Vegas it was around 104 today. Take care!!

I love to watch you collage, you always do such a lovely job!

Such beautiful layouts. This is going to be a gorgeous altered book. Thank you for sharing your ideas!!

It's coming together beautifully!

Your journal is really getting me in the Christmas spirit! Thanks for sharing!

Good morning Gayle! I just adore your videos especially this altered book! Thanks for sharing this with us!!! 😊💖😊

Omg I love spending time with you! When I met with Michele Gregory this summer she shared with me something you had made and it was so beautiful! You have fun ideas and obviously an awesome stash! Thank you for the inspirations!

You have inspired me to try an altered book. This is beautiful.

I had been wondering about the “bunny bottom” Gayle Lolol. Would never have guessed a pot plant thingy! 🤣 loving how you’re doing the altered book! Makes me want to do one too! Which I will! 🙂. You always make me laugh, thankyou so much!!! ❤️

Time doesfly when you’re having fun it feels like I just settled in to watch and you say we are running out of time. I went to the dollar tree yesterday picked up my book tore my pages and noticed my first boo boo today. I had glued my pockets that’s going to be fun to try to decorate yay! Lol! Thanks for being my guru and getting me into this craft.

Loving it, I like the pages are different, but all go so well together.❤️🐇

I'm loving this journal!! It's awesome!! Thank you for sharing Miss Gayle :)

This book gets beutiful , Gayle! You do a great job. TFS

Such a beautiful Christmas journal...!! I'm doing Two Botanicals at the moment for gifts. Six Recipe books done, Holly Hobbie is done, bunny journal done. A Christmas one is next! Thanks for more inspiration! 😍 Suzy xx

Started my altered Christmas Book today so I can craft along with you. Love listening to you Gayle, and laughing along with you. Still have a giggle about the bunnies bottom. Have a great day.

I love that blue Santa. You have become my morning coffee relaxation time. Thank You. So glad your Bunny Bottom has a home that gives you the giggles. The world needs giggles.

I am really liking this journal. Looking forward to more.

Beautiful pages!!

Love that paper of Rachel's! I got some and I really wish we could get that here. This is such a great journal Gayle.💕😺Amy

This is such a Gorgeous Journal. I really Love your style of Crafting. TFS...HUGS....

So, I've been obsessed with this altered book series! 1. Because it's an explosion of Christmas and I adore that! And 2. Because of the awesome concept! Needless to say I am heading to the dollar store tomorrow to pick up a few books to start on some of my own... They may become Christmas gifts for some family. Love the idea, thank you for the inspiration!! 💖

Good evening Gayle. This book is stunning. Love it ❤❤ Hugs to you

The book is really coming along! I am using the paper from Antique Paperie as I craft along with you ~ thank you

You heard me talking about Jen’s EZ Cuts. 😉 love the Tim holtz tissued journaling card! Such a lovely journal! 💜😘

HAPPY SUNDAY TO YOU GAYLE -I AM LOVING THIS SERIES-YOUR BOOK IS LOOKING LOVELY-I AM MAKING ME ONE-WITH THINGS I HAVE-NOT SURE HOW ITS GOING TO TURN OUT-BUT IT IS FOR ME-I PLAN TO USE IT AS A DECEMBER DAILY-THANKS FOR INSPIRING ME TO TRY -HUGS/BLESSINGS

Can't believe this altered book is going so quickly. The pages seem to just be popping into place. really liked the cool blue Santa.I would like to get me some of that Tim Holtz Christmas tissue paper. Another super video, thank you, Gayle!

Your Christmas journal is looking so amazing and so beautiful!! I'm enjoying this series of videos!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

I'm so glad you get to spend some shopping time with Eve.

Really like using different artists papers on each set of pages.

Enjoyed it 🤩!!

I wondered if you knew Eve since she was talking about being in Montana. I thought I recognized the city when she mentioned it. So happy the two of you get to go out and play.

This book is so fun.

Looking great...I saw Santa’s feet go too...she didn’t even flinch lol.

Ya know the little phamphlets that come with mobile phones. In the package. They're about 2 1/2 to 3 inches long and two inches wide. Well I teuse them and make little decorative notepads or journals to stick in pockets of the larger journals. I'm always looking for things to reuse in my creative ideas.

Superb!!!! TFS. 😻xxx

Doing my first altered book with 👏🏻

Hello I really enjoy your video I have watch a lot of them

My 5 year old son wanted you to use the red stars but he was interested enough in what you were doing to watch over 20 mins with me whilst lying on my bed :-D think he’s definitely going to be a crafter when he’s able to sit still for longer than 5 mins :-D

The tear ruler has been a great investment for you. I am glad you used the second ribbon on the blue Santa spread. Did you realize you missed an opportunity to distress somewhere in there?😹LOL!

And there went Santa's feet... I'm dying with laughter. You didn't even hesitate!

I didn’t know what the bunny bottom was for either! Thanks for letting me know. I just thought it was missing something and kind of a strange present. Lol!

Very pretty,tfs

So glad I found your channel! You are so sweet and funny I am a newbie to junk journaling and love the altered paper clips video and this Christmas altered book I would love to make a Christmas journal but cannot find the digital kit for the Santa antique paperie Would you be able to share it as the link is not working

📙💯

Gayle do you have something against Santa, you chopped his legs of without hesitation 🤣 I laughed and I laughed. Each page has its own theme, the wrapping paper layout is gorgeous. Hugs Jeannie #savesanta#lol

Santa has been debooted with one swoop of the tear ruler. By by boots feet and all lol !! He must have just been coming I to the scene The page spread is still pretty though

Add Santa. Cute

Love watching you craft. I’d like to do an altered book, but the last time I tried it was a total fail. I’m wondering where do you get all your labels from?

I was sorting my papers and I was doing scraps into one place, later I realized I put my 6x6's in with scraps! I left them. I had a long day trying to organize what I had done. LOL

My biggest problem with paper craft, other than space, is choosing papers, etc. It's close to impossible because there are so many beautiful papers and so many possibilities! What's the answer?

56:00 do you have a tutorial on that label book? That’s exactly what I need for my stamps!

Gazundheight! hehe

Hey Gayle. Will that glue stick stand the test of time?? I’ve never seen that brand before. I’ve been offline for a year and your videos were the first I came back to. Will say I was hoping we could see your face some by now. LOL Thanks for all you do!!

Something to talk about....what comes first, ephemera or the book? I know it works both ways, but what happens in your mind when creating? How do you keep it organized until you use it? You have probably addressed this before and I have seen all your videos, but still wondering. Thanks for all your help.

Love all your books what color is your ink that you use one the paper.

Hi Gayle 😊 Do you print the digital kits and then coffee or tea dye them?

Did you take any pages out of that book or did you just covered all the pages?

Hi, Gayle. I realize this video is from last yr but I just saw it. May I please ask if you are embellishing all the pages in the book as it seems it would be very thick for the binding once complete. I ask because I think your work is simply beautiful & I want to learn from you. In advance, many thanks for your response.

What is the glue you are using pls?

Do you have a grudge with Santa?! Always cutting off his feet...for shame. 🤣🤣🤣 That page turned out beautiful!❤

Ha Ha, as you are saying how art glitter glue is great for edges, i am gluing small folds all over a page and nothing works like the art glitter glue!

Your style is so 'put together', mine always looks higgeldy piggeldy. I must keep watching your videos and maybe it will sink in by osmosis or something. LOL

Thank goodness that title is getting covered up! 😃

I thought you should use clips until I saw how much you have to take them on and off. So I sent you something that I think will work better. You should get it tomorrow. No need to do a happy mail video. Just put it to work
