Good Morning Gayle, happy Sunday! Beautiful journal and love all the coordination of the ephemera and digitals. Have a great relaxing day too. Z👍🌻🌻🌻🐇

Fun crafting with you! Today I was mass making of journal cards and master boards using found cardstock and magazine and catalog pieces. Part of my lifetime of clutter busting. What great journals are in my future. Thanks for the inspiration and the company.

Good Morning Gayle, Happy Sunday! I watch Natasha and she has great ideas for journals. Nice vintage book you’re using too. Have a wonderful day! ✌️🪻🪻🪻

Yes, my papers are made with dye from Rusty Sludge: 5 cups vinegar, 2 cups hydrogen peroxide. 2 tablespoons salt. Then put some old nails and other metal bits in a jar with the liquid for a few days. The metal will rust. Swirl it once in awhile. Either paint it on the paper or submerge the paper in a pan of sludge. I used aluminum cake pans. The paper gets a really good “tooth” ( rough texture) because some rust sediment sits on the surface and will rub off a bit so I sprayed them with Workable Fixative like used for chalk pastel drawings. The sludge can be saved and added to and used again. As with coffee dyed paper, the dye pools in the texture of drying surfaces or gets a relief design from pans, screens, lace, and other textured surfaces the paper is dried on. To get the honey comb design, the paper was dried on a hive starter frame. The paper can be stamped using a honeycomb stamp using a resist like Versamark before dying, sort of like batik). The wet sludge dyed paper can also be laid on a honeycomb stencil to dry and gently burnished to get the image to influence the concentration of dye sludge. Thanks for showing my Gayle Mail. Readers, have fun!✌️🇨🇦🙏❤️🐝 Btw the ring is a bee made of copper wire. It could be put on a spine dangle or some clever idea you will come up with. The small papers are handmade paper I made using red cedar bark fibres. Also, Gayle, you can scan and print the papers if you want. I’ll be relaunching my Etsy store soon so others can buy digis of the papers I dye. I’ll announce it when that happens. 🐝🐝🐝

Very cute idea! Like the rusty papers! TFS the inspiration, Gayle!

You got a lot done today. That was a great idea about using up the glue sheets by Cari. Good use of the paper stacks.

So many great PCs. I hope your having tons of fun.

That was fun, and I got new ideas. Thank you.

Not having a great day and listening to your voice and hearing your laughter sure is helping! Thank you Gayle!!! So I am Bing watching your videos! SUPER BIG HUGS!!

Wow Cheri, brilliant idea! Thank you Gayle for sharing it with us! Hugs and blessings,🤗❤️

Thank you for sharing they are beautiful 😃 Theola

Hi Gayle. If you put a small mark on the paper edge when you cover a join, it would make it a lot easier when you go to cut them. Love your work.

lot of fun to make journal cards

Your collages are always so pretty.

I came over here by way of Ceri! How cool that you are doing a video from one of Ceri's ideas! It's an awesome idea, Ceri, thanks for sharing with Gayle, and hence, us! Great idea! I've subscribed, Gayle. Looking forward to watching many more of your videos too. Thanks for sharing!

I’m using that same book for a glue book and for book pages! I got it free from our Friends of the Library Bookstore! It’s great paper!

💜 sure enjoy the random college. Great use for folded book pages.

Brilliant ideas, Gayle xx

Ceri’s idea is a light bulb moment!✌️🇨🇦🙏❤️🐝

How fortunate are we all? Hanging out with friends Craftin daily and still so involved with our Church's! Thanks again Gayle these turned out Devine and Ceri's idea is genius!! 🦋🧡🐞💚🌻

Great ideas! Love to watch you.

Rachel and Ceri are brilliant! You got so many things made today! And dont forget you're the one that puts everything together so nicely! So you are brilliant, too!

Loved this video. You have inspired me to try this myself. Thank you for sharing

I've just recently discovered your videos! Who needs Netflix?! I'm new to this craft and am just starting an altered book journal! So glad I found you!

This was fun to watch 🤩!! Ceri is a smart guy, I think that I might have to add Him to Tim Holtz list. I will continue to check Him out 😊. Cute, cute stuff that you made using His idea🤩!!

What a fun day in the craft room with you. Loved.....well, everything!! lol but especially the collage papers cut into journaling cards and tags. And those little embellishments. What fun!!! You send us running to the craft room! TFS

absolutely love what you created. LOVE that bright golden paper! Thank you so much for sharing :) HUGS!!

Love the kits . You should see what you could create with the kit with no pages in it .

I was alone and missing my family this year, but ever so grateful for so much. Fun watching you work. Be well and safe, Gayle!

Good morning everyone! Couldn't wait to get my day started today!

Ceri has a great idea! Nice of you to share. Nice of Mr. A to share his book. Hope you have a great Sunday!

I’m using the same book for a glue book! I got it yesterday at our Friends of the Library free book bin!

Those are so fun.

Hi Gayle, I do the same thing with covering the folded book pages on mass. One trick I have learnt is cover the one side, cut them apart, then cover the backs together, then cut them apart again. Just makes it easy to find that join.

I also attended Mass via the Internet. It was better than no Mass at all. Easter was very different this year but we can still proclaim, “ Alleluia! “. Thank God! 🐇

Love the collage. It gives you so many options and a lot of ephemera in such a short period of time. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing is safe in the home of a junk journaler....lol....love this idea and so glad you shared it . Stay safe Gayle xo

Tags and journaling cards turned out beautiful. Such a great idea. Thank you for sharing 🤗

These are Amazing Gayle! Awesome idea!!!TFS!!! Big Hugs & Blessings!❤️❤️🥰

It is so cool to watch you recycle a "waste" into such adorable tags! Love the floral digitals, french scripts, honey pages... All of it.

Wow... awesome idea!

Hi Gayle! I start my day with coffee (or tea) with Gayle. Thank you so much for your ideas, great inspiration, and continued support of other creatives. You gave me the courage to start my own youtube channel, Linda Carol Art. Keep crafting! I'll continue enjoying!

Fab ideas I will steal, em, use.

Fun! This is a life changer! Lol Yes, Easter was very different this year. But the purpose remains the same and I am grateful for the eternity given!

Boy that was a great suggestion by Ceri! You went like a whirling dervish. It was so fun to see and hear your excitement. Your backlog will be back to normal in no time.

Lovely Gayle mail, and great idea from Ceri for making journal cards and tags really fast, thanks for sharing Gayle! 💕

Love Ceri's idea. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day.

Love it. So quick too. Like how the clusters just added such a nice touch. Another great video.

I never noticed how much you love pink! All your scraps coordinate so well.

Good morning Gayle! I agree with you about Ceris idea being a great idea to use up our scraps to make tags, journaling cards plus belly bands. Loved how you decorated everything. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

While you are using your used book pages you are making more used book pages. Oh goodie it will never end.

Heart Attack City seeing Clancy sacrificed. Revived once I heard a new copy was at hand! So genius!!! All of you!

So many events have been different. Here in Australia , Christmas, New Years, Easter and also ANZAC Day for us at the end of the month. The bushfires, floods and now Covid have certainly changed a lot.

love it gave me some good ideas. Thank you. Take care of yourself and stay safe. 💕

Thank you for your videos Gayle. I love watching you create. Your videos have gotten me through a really rough year and a half of personal loss. Stay safe and lots of hugs!

Good morning! Love these! Good idea from Ceri! Thanks for sharing!

Lovely collage

Love Ceri's idea. Beautiful backgrounds. TFS

The book was a good price too!

Great way to quickly collage journaling cards. They turned out well

this was a nice stand-alone type of collage. a great idea for a journal page. thank you

In simplicity is found beauty! This technique makes this so true! so why can't I have these simple ideas! They're so beautiful! Of course, we must give full credit to youn Gayle, as the artist. Wow! -- Blessings, Cindy

Good idea. Thanks

Good morningfrom Denmark 🇩🇰 Thanks for sharing all this great stuff. Renè your papers are absolutely BEAUTIFUL 👏👏😍 Have a nice Monday to everyone 🙏❤️ Tina

This was so much fun Gayle ! I always get a bad case of the giggles listening to you ! You sound like me talking to myself when I'm creating ! Such a relief to know I'm not alone !! Lol ❣❣❣

I know this is a recorded ahead of time vid, but I’m looking at the Acknowledgment page of your new glueing book, and thinking the blank parts will make a nice back sheet for a journal card. Of course I’m sure that page is long gone, but I’ve been saving those sheets from books my hubby finished and love using them for that now. 😊

My friend and I just did collage boards on FaceTime this week. We loved how they turned out. We are going to scan them but I am not sure we will have the nerve to cut them up. We spent 4 hours making them. It was so much fun.

Hi Gayle.

Great idea! Your cards, tags etc came out beautiful as always. This project will help us all distress ourselves at this time. Ty to all subbie crafters and their inspiration too! 👍🌸🌸🌸

Happy Sunday! Ooohh, more goodies! Such sweet thoughtful gifts. Love the idea of using the pages like that. Thanks for sharing!

Hopping by, Gayle! The envelope you used was one I sent you, and I'm so happy you're recycling my things! They're going to good homes, and I hope inspiring others, including me! Hugs

I am so amazed at how you always remember who created the papers you use and that you give them credit.

At 51:14 I couldn’t help noticing that if you put your paper on your grid mat, you can line up the cuts for a tag on those diagonal lines.

Way to go Ceri! Really cute Gayle ❤

Your book switch with mr. A. did me think of the book switch I did with my hubby. I found a hardcover copy from a Umberto Eco book in a thrift store and I bought it for journaling. I saw my husbands eyes fixed on the book when I came home and he nearly dreweled because his pocket version of that book was litteraly falling apart. So I gracefully switched my new looking book for his vintage and yellowed book. I wonder which of us was more chuffed with the switch. 😂 Very clever idea from Ceri to work in this manner and things turned out great.

That is a genius idea! I have started not folding mine letting the glue dry and then cutting them into 2 inch strips and making snippet rolls with paper by gluing the strips together like we do for the large collage sheets. Then I stich right down the line like we do. You could also do it with fabric. Such fun! TFS hugs, Amy

Really a fun video! Got lots of stuff done. Love Ceri’s idea!

🤗💕🤗Gonna get my scraps and glue stick!

Thank you for all the videos!! I love it when my notification pops up letting me know you posted again!! I stop what I am watching and switch over to yours! Happy Sunday!

Gayle i really love this Collage Idea by Ceri and i also love how you created yours and cut it up - everything came out beautiful - and thank you soooo much for telling us how to find the flowers and butterflies - i kept looking in Gayles Favorite Things lol - blessings and remain safe xx

I love, love, love those! Cari is a genius for sure and you are the artist who brought them to life! I adore that floral shabby chic looking style you did on the tall tags… SOOOO beautiful, as were the rest! I adore those cards and things made from you large collage roll too! 💖🌸💖 On my gosh I have to make some today! I am so inspired! Thanks for sharing with us. Big hugs! 🤗🤗🤗

I am going to try combining this with the cluster idea. Make the journal cards, then stick the smaller scraps on a sheet for a clusters. Instant coordination.

I did this same thing a few months ago. After I had about six feet I started cutting! So fun and fast! 😊

Thank you

Great idea from Ceri. Fun to watch you.

Ahhh Ceri... Great minds lol. I was thinking about this as well. My thought was, if you want to keep the shape of the book page, collage one side as a snippet roll. Then cut apart between each book page. Then collage the back as a snippet roll and you have a guide to cut apart again. Kind of similar to when you sew things on the sewing machine one after the other and then cut in between to separate them. That way, if you have pocket, tags, bookmark shapes already created, you get to keep those shapes but collage quicker!!! Love it!!! TFS Gayle!!! Hugs, Sharon 🌷💜

loving these, crafting with you!

I've been using this technique with my folded papers since seeing you use it on the full pages, Gayle. Only I put mine together to make an A4 sheet size and I leave a small gap in between the pages so I can cut through them easily on my paper trimmer without the need to guess where the joins are. The results are fabulous, aren't they, regardless of which way you go about it. I turned my journal cards into postcards using a postcard stamp. They look amazing! I love that mini collage look. Keep those fantastic techniques coming!

I love Blue Fern Studio. Their products are awesome. I'm planning in ordering some things from on my next payday. I love Rachel and Sarah. I also watch Chelle and Clint of the Rambeling Crafters. I have learned so very much from all of you talented crafters !!!

Well that was fun!! Got lots done today Gayle!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

Gayle, I am in love with your epherma books in this video. Do you have a video explaining how you made them or did you purchase them? Happy crafting!!

Great idea for getting journaling cards made quickly! I love how everything came out. Eager to hear the new ideas for May!

Good Morning to all. I ordered the tear rulers they, came yesterday love them lol

Productive and beautiful! Easter was strange for us. But my daughters said we will have our annual Easter dinner and egg hunt when all the is over even if it's the end of summer!

Cary and I must've had the same idea because I recommended you do the folded book pages as a snippet roll back on your April 12 vid. Came out great and exactly as I envisioned. Great minds think alike - LOL!

Good morning, Everyone!! Rene, how did you achieve that rich honey color on the papers you sent to Gayle??

I had fun crafting along doing something completely different, but listening to your chatter makes it feel a little like being at the craft club I usually go to but am really missing right now

Hi Gayle, anther clever idea from a subbie! Thanks for sharing!

I’m grateful for your videos!

What a great idea!! THank you for sharing this with us. I have been using my book pages for journaling cards. But, nothing like that. I shall have to try this the next time I make journaling cards... probably.... tomorrow!? LOL. Take care, Gayle. Hugs!!
