8:11 it really helps less experienced crafters to see the process, including “failures” so keep up the good work!

When someone goes out of their way to show how they make something there shouldn’t be any negative comments. Thank you for taking the time for us to learn together! You are truly blessed to be able to do this. I like it when there are missteps, it makes for an interesting video.

Good for you Gail! Don’t even try to understand or give those negative people the time of day!! So sorry that they are out there! Today we’ll just celebrate the cuteness of those sweet paperclips!!😊😊😊

You are amazing Gail ! Thank you for sharing your creativity and knowledge with us !!! Love to all Creative Soul Sisters 💝🙌🏻

Okay ! I am at a loss for words 🥴 People have given you thumbs down ? I honestly cannot even fathom that ! I am so glad you no longer have to see that. Your sweet laugh and pleasant way of doing your videos are perfect. Hugs from Canada 🇨🇦

Thank you for not deleting and starting over. It's great to hear you giggle when you have an oopsie moment. I call those moments giggle makers.

I don't understand how someone could give any of your videos a thumbs down. You're such a sweet and positive person, and in a way that is not pushy or weird. Your videos are a happy escape for me. So thank you for making them and even caring about not having a video for the day for us.

I cannot figure out for the life of me why anyone would give you a thumbs down! I love everything you make and I have learned so much from you, not to mention that there are days I do not have the time to sit down to watch tv, so I just turn it on and put on one of your videos and just listen to you and your conversations with your viewers and how you laugh on your own. You are a very sweet and delightful person. You make my day! I suppose that those people are just haters and full of jealousy. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

Thank you for not editing your videos, it lets a beginner like me see mistakes and how to just keep going. As for those Negative people - not sure why they bother to watch your video and then give it a thumbs down - these key board jockeys need to get a life! it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them. I so enjoy your videos and look forward to each and every one of them. Gone back to "older" videos to see how you started and it's amazing to see how far you have come!! Thank you for being you!

Thumbs down????aww how sad...meanies everywhere...poor things just no joy in their hearts and their lives...but we who have the joy love you and your crafting...🤗❤️

You are so fun to watch. Don't worry about talking to us all the time because it's a distraction. You are much more relaxed in your speech when you talk to yourself as you go on. Let's have fun on the table!

I love these. Especially the one with the two boys, BINGO -- winner, winner!

I agree with Rebekah! I'm glad it was a work in progress. It helps to show beginners how to recover from what initially appears a mistake. Good job!

Actually Gayle it’s the mistakes that we like. That means you’re just like us!!!

Seeing that you have first attempts that don't work out gives me, a beginner, enough nerve to give it a try. And it really helps seeing how you creatively recover from making a mistake. I really believe I'm not alone in feeling that way, so don't stress over not having a perfect video.

😃you had me smiling throughout. You giggle is adorable and nice that you dont take yourself too seriously. We all have those days at least I do. Thanks for the ideas and laughter. That's the best medicine these days

Totally agree with showing your altering the items as it shows us or me (beginner) that it’s ok even when your more experienced crafter can also alter. Thank you for not editing!! ❤

You definitely deserve a thumbs up all of the time! You always lift my spirit when I watch your videos, so thank you! You are truly loved!❤️❤️

Thank you for making mistakes fun! We all make them. You make them fun and just go with the flow! It all works out.

I love your examples Gayle!! My favorite is the ballerina!! I don't understand the thumbs down at all!! I enjoy watching the crafting youtube videos because I find I always learn something new or see another perspective I may not have thought of!! All the people in the crafting community take the time to show us what they create and what can be created!1 Sharing is caring!! Being kind makes a huge difference!! TFS Gayle!! Hugs, Liz:)

Hi Gale, I know I am late to this party but I wanted to let you know how much fun I have when you do a video. To me you are a breath of fresh air; I know that I am going to learn something new even if I may not make the project right then. I love to hear you talk your way through a project and your giggle is so genuine and spontaneous. You are best when you laugh and create even if there are a few oops along the way. Ignore the mean-spirited trolls; most of them are miserable and they don't have a creative bone in their bodies. Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us. Blessings to you.

I don’t now why you would get a thumb down,I have just found you in the past couple of weeks and I have learned so much from you!you my dear are so so talented and natural,I’m new to the worlds of glue and junk journal and seeing you make all these things are fantastic,KUDOS,GAYLE xxx

I agree with Emilee Bob, I do not understand why anyone would give your video's a thumbs down. I love your video's, Gayle. You are creative, funny, and down to earth. I am always inspired to create along with you. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

I find myself laughing out loud when I watch your videos. You are such a delight! Thank you for starting my day with humor and happiness.

ITS SOOOOOO TINY ,,,LOVE IT !! I THINK MY DAUGHTER WILL LOVE IT

Good for you for hiding the thumbs up/thumbs down button. Your enthusiasm is so fun to experience. Love the giggles, too. You keep on being you, girl!

Oh Gayle, I popped in to see what you are doing and got my morning fix right off the bad! I was crackin’ up Over that paperclip you started working on! And then you just carried it right on through! Loved it ,so thanks for that!🤗👏🏼👏🏼xx

Thanks for making me chuckle & smile ......so early in the morning!☺

The smallest is my favorite! Even the pros can make mistakes. Good to know we nubes aren't so alone.

I have learn a lot by watching your vidoes. you are a joy to listen to.

hands on, human interaction, love it!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍they can’t hide them from us. You made the right choice! Everyone can send you the ❤️this way

I am enjoying making these paperclips with you. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the shout out Gayle! I was surprised when I heard Scraplady51! I thought OMG that's me! lol I can't believe people would give you a thumbs down! Why do they even watch if they don't like your videos, just watch something else instead! I so dislike the negative people out there! I am so happy with the ephemera. I have been making things along with you instead of watching videos and then trying to remember how you made them. Good job - Patti

Thank you so much for sharing how to create all kinds of these embellishments. I love it! I really enjoyed watching you with your natural ability and you willing to share all your skills with us. I watched you every night. I made my first baby girl junk journal book for my daughter. It’s nearly finished. With these embellishments I can use for my daughter’s baby book is extra fun to learn by “following you”-.thank you so much! I shop a lot at thrift and antique stores. I found old vintage sewing machine under 20.00 that I want to transform into a small lamp for my craft room. I love vintage stuff decorating !!! Again thank you so much for sharing! Big hugs!!

I love your videos and your positivity! People who put thumbs down should just not watch, simple! I love this journal it’s so awesome!

More power to you not to give those folks any satisfaction that they gave you a thumbs down. 👏👏👏

Those down thumbs are just jealous thumbs. They wish they were loved like you are.

Came back for a refresher course and you had me in giggles less than ten minutes in. I love you, you make all of us feel like we can do this (mistakes oopsies and all). Bless you as I've needed a good laugh. Would have been my 56th wedding anniversary on the 16th. Hubby passed in August of '21 and some days it's a bit rougher than others. I'll probably go and watch the other one you've done around this same time frame. I've seen a few different ways of making them and I remembered I'd first seen you do them so had to come back and check these out.

Very beautiful gorgeous hiddy paper clips I ❤️ it

Two years later and I am still loving watching and totally enjoying yet another of your fun and informative conversations and shares! Thank you !

Oooh GREAT WAY TO USE OUR LITTLE SCRAPS! Thank You

Well a big thumbs up to you for ignoring the haters! I like your videos and your journals! Art is for everyone and thank you for taking time out of your life to help us along ❤️

Great ideas and inspiration…your videos are always so clear and informative…thank you so much!

You may of had a little rough start but the end result was successful and that's what counts. Love to watch your videos no matter what you're making. Don't worry about the thumbs down, it's just proof that there's some negative people out there and life still goes on despite them. ! Thx for sharing your craft with us.

Ohhhh My world!!! Gorgeous Thank you so much for sharing your awesome work

I love and apprreciate your videos and your happy voice each day. You will always get a thumbs up from me! I am so sorry there are some people that just can't be happy with anything that is great and wonderful. Thank you for the fun video. These paperclip tags will be lots of fun to make.

I am really enjoying this ephemera series Gayle. Thank you for showing us how you make these fun paperclips. Seems to me that people like to be negative about things when they are jealous. You are very talented and so gracious to share that with all of us. Please try to focus on the positives and leave the negatives to stew in their own juices. Thanks again Gayle and I try to have a grateful day everyday because you remind me how lucky I am. hugs

Gayle I have quietly giggled through this whole video. Because it's super early in the morning and hubby is still asleep. I think its wonderful for us to see your mishaps so when we craft we can laugh and start over too. That fabritac came through in the end though didnt it? Love me some fabritac.

First time to comment but have watched for a long time. I am enjoying your ephemera making videos; well really I enjoy each and every video you make! I am thankful that you were able to remove the negativity and continue to do what you love AND most lovely of all is that you share your talent with us! I crafted along with this particular video and I now have several paper clips...what fun :-) Blessings!

A good giggle always works Gayle! Xxx❤️🥰🇨🇦❤️

I love your videos. I've been watching them for a few years and I rewatch them over and over. Just a note, my cat Sadie sits up and watches as soon as she hears "Hi everyone it's Gay-le". You're her favorite but Ceri the Crafter comes in second. I think she likes his accent. 😃

Hi Gayle, I am fairly new to scrapbooking but I watched about 2 video's of yours and subscribed right a way. I love your creativity, enthusiasm and your kindness. 👍🏻 THUMBS UP all the way. 👍🏻 I enjoy watching your videos I learn so much from you. Thank you!

I just love your videos! It truly is overwhelming, as a newbie on junk journals, to see all the detail without the head spinning! Thank you for doing KZfaq!

You are a hoot Gayle!! 😄Thank you for making me laugh AND learn!!😍😍😄

I am new to crafting and I have found you inspire me and give me confidence to try. Thank you

I'm really think when things don't go perfect, it helps us to realize it's not always 'us'. Thanks for hanging in there and showing us how to recover.

What a great idea for paper clips. ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks Gayle - I've just spend the afternoon crafting along with this video. I know it's an old one but I'm new (as from this year) at scrapbooking. I now have a lovely stack of paperclip embelishments for my journals. Off to look for any follow up video of the other altered paperclips you have.

Hey Gayle those thump down people are just jealous because you are so great at what you do. Keep doing your greatest and sharing it with us 😊❤️

I ALWAYS hit the thumbs up, first thing....because I already know I'm going to enjoy watching your video!! Those people are just not nice. Which is what I was taught to be. You never know what someone is going through..... So everyone should just be kind, no matter what!! Love your argument with the glue! Sometimes that struggle is real! LOVE the paperclips.... TFS....Suzy ❤

👍Fun👍Fun👍Fun!!! Adorable paper clips.📎🖇

Hi from Australia. Love all your hard work. Such friendly fun but so beautiful too. You are one of my very small group of go to journal people. Xx

You really crack me up Gayle. You are so funny and your videos are so good. I love watching you.

I love how positive you are ❤

I enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing and being so down to earth

My Tim Holtz paper dolls arrived today. After watching this video, I sat down and separated them into 3 groups 😁 Great video.... you made me laugh. Thanks so much!

Thanks for video. Love this series. I hope to start book with samples too. Love that you laugh at the things that go wrong. I laugh with you( not at you) just like I would worth my friend. Sure don't understand how anyone could thumbs down you. (As no one is perfect). Keep up great work we all 💘 you and your work you inspire so many of us beginners 💘 hugs. Enjoy grandkids game and be safe in snow

You're so neat putting stuff away as you craft, lol. My desk is such a disaster.

Your stream of consciousness cracks me up!!!! I absolutely adore ALL of you!!! And all of this... Obsessed 🙃 🍦🍭🍨❤❤❤Scrappy Girl

Oh my!!!! I would be in love 😍 I'm even more curious about s quilters journal!

Was curious about those paper clips and this just popped up on my screen. Now loads of time to mame some.

This is a nice variety of paper clip embellishments. Love them al stay safe and be well.. many blessings.l

I saw on the news here in Oklahoma that you were to get a big storm. Hope every thing is good and you are keeping warm. I have had a hard time keeping up with your videos. Partly because of the metal building we live in and the internet not working as good as it should. Then my husband and I have been dealing with numerous family problems. Our spirits are trying to rally everyday because we know we have a great and mighty God. However we could use prayers to help. So if you would and any subbie that prays would lift us up during their prayer time I would appreciate it so much! Thanks for your videos. Because when I can get reception it gives me an escape and you always tickle me, Gayle! Love your embellishments and enjoy this series.

The best thing about these videos is the creativity you can show by taking a "recipe" and using different fabrics and laces and papers you can make different looks that fit your own style or theme. Great for you (and us) to get rid of Negative Nellies! I like seeing the mess ups, so I don't think I'm alone when things don't go right the first time. Revelation: Gayle is really human!

your journal is absolutely gorgeous!

Very cute embellishments. Enjoyed this video.

Thank you. I was sent your way. Though I dont have Tim Holtz and I dont see ever affording it. But I learned more about the glues. Thank you again. I enjoyed it.

I thought I had a lot of craft supplies, I'd love to see your craft room.

Nicely done. I agree, who could/would give you a thumbs down?

Another FUN video....you make me feel like I can make mistakes and recover and that means a lot!!!! And besides, you always end up with the most amazing results in everything you do, so a bumble here and there just gives us a chance to hear your contagious, adorable laugh!!!!! These were all so cute and also on my list to come back and follow when I get the materials!!!!! Hugs sweetie!!! XOXO

What a great lesson. I see that you inked your page reinforcements, how brilliant! I love miniatures so this project is great to learn. I learned how to open those pesky stickles and glue bottles that I can never use. I see how you use your glass craft board. I like how you used a beauty blender sponge to ink the sides of the paper, so clever. I really like the idea you have for storing the cut outs in the fabric organizer with the clear zippered pockets. I learned so many great things from you today and I watch a lot of KZfaq tutorials, but after all this time, I have learned so much from this one video. Thank you Gayle! So glad that someone on one of my facebook groups told me that she watches you and I have to say, that she is a very impressive artist. Just wanted to give you some feedback to let you know how your channel influences one of your subscribers. Like I said, I have watched many different people on KZfaq and it always surprises me when I'm presented with fresh ideas!

😂😂😂you cracked me up when you said it was listing to one side! I love your channel!

Gayle it was fun to do the first one with you my other three I did a little different. Ty for the inspiration for our Challenge!! 💕🌻💞

Gayle, one reason you make me laugh is you sound a lot like me, but you are quicker to laugh at yourself. I love,it!

Lol it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who messes up at the start lol you are too funny! 😊

I have to say this video gets better , funnier as ya go,! This is great! Made me laugh out loud a couple times I needed that today!!!!

Love this! I can follow this easily as I mess up often. lol Newbie scrapper-- so this will keep me busy while I build up other stashes. Thanks!

I totally agree with you doing away with the thumbs uo/down option. You are such a joy... You do not need those who are negatives or nasty in your life. It is a choice that we all make at certain points in ones life.. sometimes a hard one depending on the circumstances. Good for you for taking control of your life. Now..🐕🐕 let's start making some altered paper clips..

Great video! Funny. Thanks Gayle!

Oh Gayle I found this playlist yesterday and watched and played along. I just went back today and commented. So, I’m working on a paper lip now... Janet

Good for you, Gayle! Thumbs up to you always!

La guerra entre el ser humano y el pegamento 😂😂😂!!! Todos luchamos con los adhesivos jajajajaja 😉💞

I'm a new subscriber and have been binge-ing on your videos. Thank you for sharing kindness and joy!

You are so down to earth love it

How lovely! Love

very nice video. love how she is real! mistakes and all!!

I rarely comment on videos that I watch. This is a great one! Instructive, and thorough. I am subscribing. I am making a mini album for a shabby chic loving aunt and I will be coming back to this when I am embellishing it. Thank you!

Oh hon why on earth would people be doing that to someone who make so many others so happy by showing us beautiful things we can make? Some folks are just poison. Thank you for doing what you do.

Nice altered paperclips and replicas. Good for you Gayle. I have seen the Like Dislike thumbs without numbers before and wondered where the numbers were lol, now I know. No one needs to see the dislikes anyway. I've always said that if you don't like something just skip it why put a thumbs down. As you said now they can't even see their dislike anymore giving them recognition, good job.
