So,so,so,so,so, don’t you just love these people! We love you Gayle whatever you say and do! Thank you for doing what you do for us every day! ♥️

Thanks so much for checking with Antique paperie and Erv design. You will never know how thankful I am to be able to freely use their papers. I had quit buying them because I was afraid I would accidentally use it in one of my “for sale” journals. THANK YOU!!!

Always feel at home with a friend when I watch your videos.

Your videos are not too long. I love watching you as I have my morning coffee or working in my studio. You inspire and keep me company. Your easy way of talking and sharing is very heartwarming. So do as you like ,it's your time and energy .

Excited you are doing journal covers. That’s where I struggle most. Thanks

OMG Gayle! You need to do the videos as long or as short as you want! We can pause you and come back or even put you on 2x speed! Personally I don’t know what to do without a full hour of my KZfaq BFF! I can’t imagine doing videos and being as entertaining and informative as you are. You are awesome and glorious in your full hour! I watch because you are real- your not scripted and stiff or boring with no mishaps. You are real and you are a phenomenon! Stay true to yourself and to your creativity- trust it!

Fray check has always been in my life!

Looking forward to this series and so I can’t wait to see what comes next! Complainers are just never happy, you do what you want to do! You are such a sweet person for always trying to make your subbies happy! Who cares if it disintegrates, we probably won’t be around to see it happen! Does anything last forever....Gayle, you do what makes you happy! If Gayle is happy, we all are happy! So have a great day! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

We love...be you I think you make us all feel at home while inspiring us with your artistry!

Thanks for showing us how you do the covers!!! Thank you.

Gayle...the Myth Buster! You had extra helpful info today. Thanks for being you, and using supplies we can all craft with, even if they will someday deteriorate.

Gayle that is an awesome cover you made. Love all your videos. I look forward to them every day. I tell my husband I have to watch Gayle every day to see what she makes next. Great inspiration and ideas.

Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent. You are such a great teacher

Do not change Gayle, your accent and the way you talk is so soothing, just do not change yourself to suit others, we love you the way you are. Love your work here in Canada. Love you sister!

Please don't listen to the negative comments. We love the one hour craft or coffee times with you.

Love this idea of sewing around the fabric, outside of the cardboard. Had never thought of that. Thanks :)

Hi Gayle, was so delighted to find this shorter video. I am a longtime fan and am not being negative . However, no longer have the advantage of being able to watch the longer videos as often. Not asking you to change, just know I miss you and am glad to find one I have time to watch. Remember, please, that you have a wide range of subscribers and we all love you and want to watch also. Hugs and thanks for sharing.

I cannot believe anybody would say your videos are too long. I mean it's not that I doubt you! It's that I'm dumbfounded that anybody would say such a thing. If it's too long turn it off. Dorks! I adore your work Gayle!

Your videos are not too long, don’t listen to those people we love it just the way you are ❤️❤️❤️

Welcome back! Looking forward to this new series. I enjoy and look forward to your videos everyday. Please don't feel like you need to cut them down in time. That hour is so great with my morning coffee.

So looking forward to seeing the next cover. Thanks.

I love how you laugh off the negative comments. I really enjoy your videos on so many levels.

Love the vibrant colors of this fabric!! Just be you....I don't care how many times you say "so"!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

I have so wanted a series like this, THANKS SO MUCH!!!😁

I love you and your videos and I subscribed to your channel because you seem like just the sweetest person. You are so lovely to share your knowledge and experiences in the world of junk journals and mixed media art. I appreciate your kind and gentle manner and your laugh is infectious. The world would be a better place if it were filled with Gayle Agostinellis and had fewer Snarky Snarkertons who never learned to not say anything at all if they don't have anything nice to say. Thank you for sharing with us and thank you for being you!

What a wonderful series this will be Gayle.....looking forward to seeing all of them! Ignore the “negative Nellies”. You just be you ❤️.

Oh Gayle that is just you being you, there is no need to change. And I cant wait to see all the covers ideas, I am just starting making journals (paper crafting) so this will be super helpful! Hope you remember to make one for people that don't know how to use a sewing machine (I have one that have never used)

Love that you showed using a product box to make a journal cover! I get it now. Enjoy how you talk and what you talk about💕 Thanks again many hugs

I would much rather hear your so’s then “like” all the time omg that drives me crazy! You just stay the way you are sweet lady. Be true to yourself 🤗🤗🤗

So glad you are doing this series, so far I have only used old books to recover. This will be a big help to me so I can learn other techniques! Thank you!!

Such beautiful covers to start off your year Gayle! Btw, you gave that young clerk a gift by saying something nice, especially on Christmas Eve! Hopefully, she left the unnecessary negative comments behind, and that kind gesture from you is what she took home.🥰🇨🇦

Yay! Love the cover series idea and the beginner sewing tutorial! Can’t wait to try some of these.

I enjoy your videos at 1 hour . For me don’t chance . Seeing a cover made is perfect. 🥰 🌺 🥰

I love your videos just the way they are, this one was short, but I guess I'll survive! I'm new to Junk Journals so this series will be great. Don't listen to negative comments, there are no rules to making Junk Journals, thats my favorite part, LOL.

Looking forward to learning all about covers from you! Great video and thanks for sharing, one hour videos are better!

I LOVE this method of fabric cover! And we LOVE you too!

Ya know Gayle. You’re delightful!!

I really enjoy your videos and have learned so many wonderful tips and techniques from watching your channel! I look forward to seeing what you are up to each day! ❤

Love the idea 💡 of book covers by you!

Beautiful, great idea! Thank you for sharing 🤗

Thank you for this video. The cover and folder are beautiful. 🐰💕

Can't believe I found this video I so wanted to try this idea but didn't know where to start. I usually make my my Junk Journals from second hand books. Should have known to look through your videos. Your always a great source of inspiration.

My covers are awful. I have tried so many things so looking forward to this series.

I am happy you are doing a cover series! I don't blame you for being over cautious with your sewing machine, but glad you got it back and they could fix it for you. I have been collecting handmade journals for 20 years now. They are made out of may different materials, but most have a cardboard base. Some are covered with handmade paper and some are just painted on the cardboard. They have held up very well for me, but keep in mind that I bought them to display instead of use. I'd still guess if I used them that they would hold up just fine....

Love that fabric, Gayle. I did the same with one of my first journals. I used fabric from my old curtains and it turned out very well. I like the fact that the thicker material reinforces the cardboard , yet the journal remains lightweight and flexible. Good to have you home safe and sound. Say G'day to Mr A. for me. Hope you are both well. Veronica x

I LOVE THIS!!! Can't wait for the other videos in this series😊

I always sew on the box, then there is an ugly edge, so (!) Thanks for showing us this way to do it. And I love the fabric.

Gayle beautiful cover and never rush! Your videos are an excellent way to learn ideas and fun visit with you. I look forward to seeing each video you do!! 💚💜💙💗💘

Thank you Gayle for this cover series I have been hoping for this exact thing! Love it 😍

Thank you for sharing your tips and knowledge! As a newbie it’s ovwerwhelming and you make it look easy

Hi Gayle, I almost never comment on your videos but today I was like o gosh is that an hour already and then i heard you say some people complaining that your videos are to long... please dont listen to them! I so enjoy an hour with you every day, you are such an inspiration and truely talented!

Hi Gayle hope you’re good don’t you change I have depression and when I’m down the first thing my husband has to say is I think you have to listen to Gayle I love listening to you and feel so motivated 🥰🇦🇺

You should never listen to those who say your videos are to long! I feel like I didn’t get enough Gayle time this morning! Awesome cover though!

Thanks for the video. Been waiting for a easy way to make fabric covered journals. Love the material. Great idea to make a few ahead and have them ready to use.

Hi Gayle, The only way that cover is going to disintegrate is if you bury it! LOL Enjoy listening to you so much. Love sharing your life. Praying for ya all !!!!! Love CJ

Love the fabric cover.

Wonderful! This is going to help a lot! My first journal cover was not very successful. Thank you for your time.

Oh yes, a basic sewing tutorial would be wonderful! I have 6 granddaughters who have varied interests in sewing, and I think a tute would be helpful! [yes, there are probably a jillion other on YT, but....] I have tried to teach them, but it's hard with only one machine. This way they could watch on their time, on the machine I gave them to share. Thank You!

Soo please don’t stop doing your hour videos just Soo you can please other people.If they don’t want to sit and listen to you and watch you for an hour BU-BBYE ! I love having you for an hour, you could be 2 hours and still be fine with me ❣️Soo please keep doing you ! I love all the Sooo’s 🤣😂 You have a heart of gold I can just tell❣️ love you Gayle❣️

I really like this one I have done this before on smaller scale and edged it in lace . It has been a while. Pretty book cover. I see this as a start of a beautiful junk journal!! Hugs.

Hello! Thanks for sharing! Blessings

Gayle, please don’t worry about those naysayers. I like your hour videos because I craft alone. 🙁 I feel like we’re crafting together and I usually just let your videos run over and over even if I’ve seen them before. Please keep crafting with me. 😀

Hi Gayle! And, yes, I ditto what others said about length of your videos and not to pay attention to any negative comments. Stay just the way you are! You are such a breath of fresh air, willing to help others as they learn new things, supporting them in their business start up and reaching out to them to make sure that your subbies are happy campers! :) Your humour is a delight, especially your comment about steerage while flying to Florida LOL..I have heard it called 'cattle class'. I am excited to seem more journal cover videos! Wheeeee... I created a number of them based on your fabric one where you used fabric tack and the 9x12 envelope. This video looks like the cover goes together soooo much faster. That is NEXT on my list of things to try. :) Cheers and thanks again for all you do for others. Liz

Thanks for the videos on covers. I'm new to junk journals and this is very helpful. I'll be watching them all.

Pretty cover fabrics, Gayle; the upholstery one made me feel all Autumnal. 😊🤗

Love that fabric, so pretty 💕

I stand with you on the cardboard cover. There’s an awful lot of cardboard in store bought journals. Or, plastic. I’drather have cardboard. And, we’ll all be loooong gone before it disintegrates on its own. Love this tutorial! Thank you for sharing!

Nice tutorial. You've made it look so quick and easy.

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS GAYLE-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS

I found how to send you a comment. Every morning I wake up and know there will be a video from my favorite creator of junk journals. Because of your great videos I was able to make a journal for my daughter when you moved to a new town. And was making another journal with more of your top ten / twelve favorite things that go in your journals. When I got a message from my friend that she is going to be a grandmother for the first time. The baby shower is in August and instead of a card the mother to be wants everyone to buy a book for the baby. She is having a girl. Well I decided I would make her a golden book journal. It was meant to be, because l found the golden book Good Little, Bad Little Girl. The title reminded me of the mother to be, since I watched her grow up. Since she lived across the street from us until she got married. Thank you for your wonderful videos and great personality. You make me laugh everyday.

I'm so glad your doing a series on covers. I'm new to junk journals and for some reason making the covers is the hardest for me. Can't wait for some more cover ideas!

Hi Gayle, this cover turned out pretty. TFS!

Thanks for checking with ervDesigns -- she really does have amazing classical music paper. So glad to hear!! You're becoming the advocate for small journal makers who want to sell their goods. :-)

I am so excited for this series!! So much great info! I am still a wannabe. I have been stuck with putting my first one together for my cousin for 4 months so I think this will help. Thank you!!

What a gorgeous cover and it will be perfect for the orchard theme! Thanks for sharing such a fun way to create a cover using packaging that we all tend to have :-) Love your accent and the "so"- I am sure all of us have some type of saying that we use more than others and we love you so- do not change, sweet friend! Hugs and thanks again for inspiring all of us!

So many of your subbie base here are loving the Gayle just as she is for the hour length to start the day! 😘 Thankfully ! Maybe you could do two lots of 28 mins so the real fans could continue watching for the hour and the rest can shelve part b for later, if they must! Love your work Gayle, don't let the turkey's get you down! 💞

Great cover tutorial. Very helpful. TFS

Well SO!! you gotta love the negative people out there. Love your videos Gayle definitely learn alot!!

Cover series, 👍👍👍. You rock, !

So sorry you have gotten some negative comments. If you aren’t their cup of tea they can just move on. I love, and binge watch your videos, and have learned so much. This video couldn’t have come at a better time. I have gathered supplies, printed digits, made ephemera , and of course inked. I think I am finally ready to actually start a journal. Sooooo. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I always enjoy spend hours with Gayle. ❤️❤️❤️

Hi gail just wanted to say i love your videos. I love to watch them while i am crafting.. Its like i have a friend with me. Keep it up

This is so helpful. Thank you.

Beautiful cover! Yes! Please do a begining sewing video! I need help! Lol.

Thank you for the video.

you do you, and if I or anyone else is displeased,( i cant imagine) they have many options, don't they? TFS!!

I’d love a beginning sewing video. I used to sew my daughter’s clothes when she was young but I haven’t sewn in ages. JoAnn’s had a sale on Singer sewing machines about a year ago and I bought one of the bare bones models and it’s been in the box since. I think I’m afraid of it. 😂 With your help, I might be able to make it a worthy purchase. So yes please. Oh....and when I begin a sentence with “so”, my kids and grandkids know I’m going to be asking a difficult question - they hate hearing “so”. Makes me laugh of course.

Thanks. I needed this series.

Thanks Gayle. Super instructive. TFN.

Beautiful, Gayle, and quite simple to make. TFS. From Cheryl in AZ

I love this cover, Gayle! I've used cereal boxes before but I've always covered them in paper. I'm also just starting to use my sewing machine, so I would love you to do a beginners sewing machine video. Also, you be you and ignore the complainers and haters. You don't have the following you have for nothing. LOL xx

Thanks for that I have look at the Journal cover series, from OZ.

No!!!!! More Gayle! ❤️Not less! That did feel weird! 😂

Enjoyed the video and love the choice of cover. I have an old sewing machine called the Rocketeer and it will sew through leather and I'm sure it will sew through cardboard but its in a cabinet and I don't have the space to set it up, maybe someday. Thanks for the share!

I like how you call the misbehaving frays "hims" haha. Great video!

Looks like a fun series, Gayle!

I've watched a couple of your journal cover videos and love the designs, process and your explanation. I was wondering if you do a video on the next step. Loved the little fold up journal that you showed at the end of this video!

The good thing about using cereal boxes is that they're food grade and probably a higher quality than ordinary cardboard.

So let's sew so we can getter done. 😊

Very helpful, thank you! Missed the hour though.

You do beautiful work Gayle, take your time! WE love watching & listening to you. Please do what makes YOU happy! tyfs ;-)
