It's 2023 and I am just viewing this great video! I will be trying my hand at these flippy/ floppy envelopes tomorrow! Thanks for sharing❤❤❤

Gayle - your giddy excitement and enthusiasm is infectious and COMPLETELY ADORABLE! Thanks so much for sharing. Can't wait to try making this!

Both you and Robin are very talented people!

I love all your creation. Firm me is a magic moment when I see your video. Thanks

Oh this IS fun! It's a 3 alarm hair on fire!! What a fun idea for something different and a great way to use envelopes. I so get your baby bird story, we had one a couple summers ago in our backyard, he must have fallen from a nest-couldn't fly, hopped around the yard all day. Then I noticed it looked like he couldn't close his beak/mouth. Sure enough, we looked with binoculars and he had something stuck between his beak! Hubby put on gloves and we were able to catch him, Tom gently held him while I used a small stick and got whatever it was out of his beak. Set him down near a saucer of water and he drank his little heart out! He stayed a few days and took shelter under a bush. It felt good to be able to help him, poor little guy. big hugs :-)

LOL, you are so sweet! Please do not ever feel sorry. I know life happens. Oh my goodness your words are so kind!! Thank you so much dear friend :D I absolutely love what your doing with this journal! Ive never thought about the cardstock inside the envelopes, what a great idea! I agree, you should always do what you want when it comes to crafting. :D Thank you so much for sharing such a great idea with us. HUGS!!

Awesome beyond words, Gayle! This is more like a puzzle to construct! 👍👍👍👌

Yes!! Exciting indeed. Perfect idea for a BD Card I want to make for my daughter.

Hi Gayle: This idea is so much fun because every one you make will be very unique. Junk mail envelopes come in all shapes, sizes, paper quality, textures, etc. Glad you're feeling better. Donna From The Jersey Shore

Oh cool another flippy piece to make. I have enjoyed making pieces that have lots of flips. So thanks for another to try. I can’t wait. 😊

Gayle, I admit it, you boggled my brain this time with all the envelopes. You are a genius! I don't know how you figured it out. It looks beautiful so far, can't wait to see the rest!

From what I understand the birds live on the ground for a couple of days until they learn to fly. I was watching Bondi Vet to learn that. I think you did the right thing. :) The multi flips are much fun! Thank you for sharing. Hugs! 😘💜💜🤗

Yes! Lovely cover and what a great idea with all the flippy envelopes on the cover. Loving it! 🙌💕🌈

Hello. I watched robins video also. I made one last night. Love what you did putting inserts in first. Love watching you. Have fun!!!

WOW Gayle I fell asleep watching Robin do this!! this morning I finished it and right after I commented I noticed you had to come in and they're too. I've watched your video twice today! I even shared it twice. LOL 😅😂🤣 I always knew all of craft ideas you had are the best! This morning we both got up wanting to do this. I forced myself to finish the lil projects on my desk. This will be one of our future challenges, thanks again my sweet friend! 💕😘💞

So exciting and beyond beautiful. Can't wait for next session.

It is so good to hear the excitement in your voice! Wasn't sure what the heck you were doing in the beginning but I'm hooked! Can't wait to see part 2. Hugs..

Gayle I really love the natural way that you work, It is a little bit like me, as i get very excited too, please don't change your style it is so inspiring. So glad that i have found you to watch. Take care Sara G Western Australia x

Love the floppy....flappy journal.....love and hugs xx

Gayle could you imagine doing this idea with blue fern papers! 😍. Make som elf the envelopes & the envelopes mix them with some colored/kraft ones. Oh how you inspire us! Off to gather my supplies. Thank you for another great video.

Oh ya. Love Robins work and have watched her make a couple of these. Just love them. Have fun creating

This is SO MUCH FUN!! Thank you, Gayle! I hope the little robin is okay. Take care!

Hi Gayle, Thanks for sharing this flippy flappy cover, it's really cool. Loved it. Nature is tough, you did all that you could for the birdy. xx

I love this multi-flip envelope folder. I just tossed some junk mail. But I don’t think I emptied that trash yet. LOL. I love hearing your stories. The mom bird may just find the baby and feed it wherever it is. I am sure this happens a lot to bird families. Oh, I love my Kraft-tex. I need to make something else too.

In addition to watching crafting, I am also interested in true crime. Strange combo I know but why I mention it is that I watch a KZfaq channel by Gray Hughes and he is a little insensitive but I just love the way he handles criticism. He reminds the viewers it is HIS channel and he will do his show the way he wants. He encourages people to move on as there might be channels they like more. So if people complain to you, suggest maybe they start their own channel and do things exactly the way they want. You obviously are doing something right with so manny followers and the most embracing KZfaq family I have found. Be you my friend, just the way you are! And this cover is simply so-cute. Wouldn’t it be so cute to alter it a bit and have it be the center of a signature? Hugs to you and your subbies. Veronica💕

Ok I am now hooked and watching all yr back videos love your work. Xx

This looks like fun. I can't wait to see it completed. I love the tag on the front.

Gayle, if crafting was a sport you’d be a black belt ninja crafter.

Cute 😍 and fun to watch and hear while I Craft as well on my Junk Journals. You are an inspiration, keep doing what you're doing 😊.

I felt the same way after watching Robin's video. She can just bring it all together so easily (just like you). Anyway I watched her video and the two others she referenced where she got the idea. The other two ladies made theirs a bit different, and they were very nice, but I have to say Robin's techniques are the way that I wish to make mine.

Such a fun and amazing project. Can’t wait to see the results. Thank you for sharing 🤗

Gorgeous project Gayle! 🌺🦋 I absolutely adore the page with the lace print 😍🌺

Loving this! Such pretty mix of sizes, colours and textures!

I am loving this soooo much! Can’t wait for part 2

Love this idea! Now I'm excited to try it too, love learning new paper making things! Sorry about the baby bird, my husband found a little one in the grass of the back yard this weekend. He'd mowed, but it's wet so he left it 'tall', good thing or baby wouldn't have been able to hide. Momma was on a branch over 10 ft up, lowest one on tree, yabbering away it.

Even if it’s not a tutorial I learn a lot, but how about calling it a “exploritorial”? Love everything you make! 🤗

It's natural for most baby birds (fledglings) to be out of their nests and on the ground for a few days. With all the dangers lurking, I have no idea how the species have survived. It's best to leave them, but if you must, place it in a safe spot nearby as the parents still need to feed it. I'm sure the parents of your fledging will hear his call and continue to care for him. Thanks for sharing today's fun project. I've wanted to make one and you've inspired me to give it a try. And I'm sure you already know this, but if you turn the punch upside down when you need to enlarge your half-circle (if it fits), you can see where you've already punched.

Hi Gayle!! I know what you mean! I watched Robins video on that too last week and started putting one together right away!!

Great project and I love the happy mail. Tfs💗

This is a fun journal. Lovely Gayle. xxx

Well I am sorting my junk mail envelopes now and had a thought which you probably know. The marks on the sides of a circle punch are to show you where the center of the circle is. You can use this to decide where to punch when you can’t turn it upside down. You are doing such a beautiful job. Love to watch you collage.

How fun is this?! Love it. Thanks for sharing.

beautiful! I love all the flips and flaps! Looking forward to the next part.

Loved to watch this. Great fun.

I love it Gayle! I felt exactly the same way when I saw it on Dawn's channel. (TheBookVandalShop) I just had to make it. Was so excited to see Robin make it, as well. I love that we all make the "same" project, but they are all so different and wonderful. Thanks for sharing! Kristi

This is exciting! So far it is already beautiful💕🐬hugs

Love this file folder...think I just might have a go at it too...looks so much fun great job Gayle

Hi, Gayle...can't wait to see your new journal creation :)

What a fun project. I have the grandkids today and you are making an envelope flip and they are playing UNO Flip. My eyes were seeing a lot of flippin' going on! lol This is one video I would have to definitely watch while trying to make the project. Have a great day Gayle!

Loving this, can't wait for next one

The 'stack of letters' IS fun! When I did one I glued the flaps on the top cover so that I didn't have anything go on the back/inside of the journal. It was so neat to do that I'm going to do many more.

Hi Gayle, I have just sat with you for the past few hours and made my own version of this right along with you. Time to get up and move off to bed now while I let all my glue dry. I love this flipping envelope thing too. From Sharon(grannyscrap) x

That's going to be a cute journal! Thanks for sharing.

Thank u for sharing such a fun project.😍🌴

Oh I watched this at work! And I want to make one now! Thral you for sharing!

Good morning Gayle. I happened onto Robin's flappity/flaps journal while in GA last week. I thought it was really cool idea too. I am excited to see you doing it and how you add your magic touch. I got so tickled when you were trying to get your folder creased just to find it had a wad of paper in it. That is the kind of stuff I do all the time. It is always good when our KZfaq super stars goof up, it gives the rest of us a little hope. lol I just loved those cards and tags from Natashia. I am excited to see the finished product. On to part II. Hugs Gayle!

Oh Gayle I love these! I am starting an new journal and I think this is how I am going to do the cover. Thank you for the inspiration I needed it. Hugs, Amy

I love this folder, I love all the flips and flaps !

This is such a cool idea! Loved watching you as always.

Love this project Gayle can’t wait for part 2 💕

Hated to see this end...great project and so pretty. Thinking about using this idea for birthday cards for my grandsons.

Loving this tutorial! TFS! Blessings!❤️

Hi Gayle! Can you believe it? I'm one of the first ones posting. And oh my, you already have me laughing this morning. "Is there something in there? Oh, a note for me. LOL" I've been needing a good laugh. Last week I was working on my garden and threw my lower right back out. You know, there is nothing like back pain to get really keep you down. I was still in pain up to yesterday and then, it just felt better. Took about 5 days to get relief. I'm glad it's finally feeling better, because I still have so much to get done in my garden. And elsewhere, too. I remember my ex-Vice Principal, from the high school I worked at, who had to do scheduling for the Science department. She said it was one of the hardest parts of her job and it would take quite a bit of effort and time. She spent a good portion of her summertime getting it done. Who says that educators get their summers off? I like how this project uses up envelopes. I have a load of them and this looks like it would be fun to make. And oh, when you put the envelopes down...just love that layering effect. What fun!! Oh, it is so much fun watching the birds and their nests. Sounds like one of little robins has fledged. That's a brave little guy. The parent should be around somewhere at some point to help teach him. I am signed up on this Cornell website, which teaches people about birds. You can also report your sightings and nests. You can also report your observations as things progress with the nesting process, if you want. It adds to Cornell's bird research. From what I've learned about these nests from the site, it is better to leave things alone and let mother nature take it's course. Though, I'm with you...I don't think I could have watched JJ take down such a little thing. And I agree, watching nature can sometimes be tough. I have seen more than one of our mourning dove nests raise young only to have a predator take them in the end. And though I know it's better to not interfere, I have tried to help them out a few times if I thought they were having a hard time. I've got too kind of heart to watch little ones perish without trying to do something. Anyway, here is the link. If you look up along the menu, you will see a tab that says "Get Involved" if you are interested in doing the reporting. It really doesn't take too long to record your observations and it does help with Cornell's research in understanding these precious little critters. www.birds.cornell.edu/home Oh, I really love, love, love this project. I need to try this, too. I hope you have a wonderful day, Gayle! Hope that little birdie made it! God bless! Sue 🐤🤗❤️

this is so different - enjoyed watching you create - TFS

Love love it Gayle 🙏🏻🤗❣️

Good morning Gayle , I like journals made from Manila folders . This one is going to be very pretty . Love your videos 🌺❤️🌺

I absolutely love this..you did a great job.

Loving this creation

It will be fun to recreate this envelope file! Thanks for sharing

Oh my gosh thats such a cool video. I cant wait to make one tomorrow. Love it.

Hi Gayle, I've watch several videos on this project and the person who started this is, TheBookVandal. I too got so excited that I said I must do one too or two or three!! Lol!! I think this is such an awesome idea! I'm so glad to watch your take oo this envelope floppy file. I hope to do one soon. Unfortunately I haven't been feeling good from my kidneys but as soon as I feel better I will. It's always so much fun to hear your enthusiasm. Lol!!! GOD Bless and be safe

I started mine yesterday but I even made it harder putting 6 envelopes on each side and my base is 2 string closure envelopes that I put together with a 1 inch spine. Now I have a lot of decorating to do and inking and adding lace. So So fun.

Thanks so much for the mention Gayle. I was inspired by 2 other Yt gals which I mention in my video. I'm glad it set your hair on fire! I do watch your channel and was inspired with your faux front envelopes a while back! xoox

Fun! Looking forward to seeing the rest.

I wanted you to know that it is so wonderful to hear the excitement and laughter back in your voice again and it is so contiguous, I love it. I have a major test today and very nervous! I will be listening to you again while while they do their magic!

This is a hug project but it looks like fun I think once you get past the gluing of the flip flop envelopes its down hill from there. I hope your little birdie pulls through I have been in that situation and it rattles your nerves. Thanks for sharing I will be looking forward to you finishing it.

This really looks like a fun project! The crafters out there (including you!) that think of these kinds of projects are brilliant. I'm so thankful you all share your ideas with us!

I love this project… you knew I would! I cannot wait to start mine and do it with you today… hopefully. This is so fun! Thanks for sharing it with us! 🤗🌸🤗

This idea is.much fun but your funnier listening,the note in the envelope n the rest,sooo.funnu gayle Alanna xx

Gayle so pretty I love live it so much

This is so much fun, I love it. Looking forward to seeing part two

Love it. Can’t wait to see the rest decorated.

This is such a cool idea. Just love it.

This looks like so much fun! Def going on my journaling to-do list!

Hi Gayle, I love this idea. Tfs x

Loved this watched her do it also can't wait to try it. Right now I'm cleaning my craft room . New windows coming so have to move stuff from windows. What a chore

Love this project! Got to have a go myself.

I saw Robin’s video and just loved the whole idea too! I think she only used two envelopes a side (I may be remembering wrong) but I like your use of three because I do love the flips and flops. That tag on the front is gorgeous! I went to NaTasha’s shop and came away poorer 😝😂 she has many beautiful items right now. Enjoy that project and we’ll look forward to the next part.

What a lovely project - I can't wait to try this on myself

This look like so much fun. Seems like it all come together so easily for you. I’m loving this.

This is great! I’m gonna have to try this! Thanks for sharing!

Your excitement is contagious. I can't wait to see the next part. TFS.

Dang, I should not add another project to my To Do list, but I will. Lol !! TFS

This looks like great fun Gayle. I've been really enjoying making "architectural" paper projects recently, like Envelope Folders and Pocket Folders made with larger book pages and lots of interlocking envelopes...lots of flip flap as you say. We get to use up book pages and make a bit of space (no doubt for more stuff) 😁😁 Thanks for sharing your lovely project....I think I'll have a go at this one too. Hugs, stay well, joie 💜🌿

Such a great journal! I have been saving junk mail envelopes for awhile and now I have a guide on how to use them!

Loved this idea too..looks like so much fun! Love how yours is turning out. Xx

Can’t wait to see the progress of this piece.

This cover is so cute, I have to make one, lol...ASAP

I really admire this file folder flip pocket piece. I keep telling myself I need to make some of them. The papers you've chosen are just beautiful and are a true inspiration... I think I will just have to start one today. I have so many 12x12 papers pads, I think I could use one of them instead of hoarding them. Thank you Gayle for fanning the creative embers. Blessings, Angela

I love this project. Will try it also. Thanks for sharing, you always inspire me. Have a bless day and enjoy crafting.
