When you laugh at yourself when you have funny thoughts, I so relate. I often laugh at my goofs. Always remember…Blessed is she who can laugh at herself, for she shall never cease to be amused.

Oh my goodness...what great ideas for the use of greeting cards. Who would have guessed that this would come up at this time? I just cleared out BOXES of old greeting cards that I have had stored for years. The journal maker in me kept saying that I could use them some way in a journal. Thank you, Gayle, for sharing these ideas! Love them all!

I love this idea. I have a few special cards I saved from my childhood, now I can repurpose them to be enjoyed instead of them being packed in a box out of sight. 💖

Yes, I ama newbie and everything is new to me. So don’t worry about repeating ideas over the years. Thanks for your creative projects.

Oh my, this is perfect as I have lots of lovely cards, so many memories. Thank you SO much!

Gayle, you are so good. I love the idea of using corrugated cardboard to make lines. Terrific video as always.

Another great idea. I have tons of old cards that i've kept through the years.

Thanks Julie for requesting this. This month I am going through 57 years of anniversary and other cards!!

I love watching you. You are funny and don’t take yourself too serious. Love all the useful ideas.

The lines from the corrugate is genius! Thank you!

Outstanding projects. The journals are adorable and can be made in a short amount of time. Thank you!

Today I put cards in my recycle box & now I'm off to retrieve & repurpose. Thanks for inspiration Gayle ❤

These are so fun! I really like the way the "messy" stitching looks. I know another crafter who calls that a "sketched on" look. And I LOVE Mary Engelbreit! Funny, I just bought a cute box of cards from the 70's at an antique store and now I know how I can use them in my junk journals!

Great ideas, love to see beautiful cards repurposed.

So cute when you were working on the bunny card & said you'll 'hop on over & have a dig' thru your 6×6 paper pads!! 🐇❤🐇

Great ideas. If Julie has a lot of Christmas cards she can make gift list books or prayer journals. Either of these could be given to friends and family or left in a doctor's office for anyone.

I had just put a college ruled stencil template in my Amazon cart. OUT it goes! Your use of corrugated cardboard is genius! Thank you so much!

I wish I had a sewing machine because I love the stitched look. I could watch you craft all day. Love these ideas!

Hello Gayle! I could only watch the first few minutes and had to stop before my imagination exploded. I did my exercises before watching the rest of the video so I could let the ideas percolate! So exciting! After calming down, I watched the rest of it and got even more inspiration! Thank you so much for making this such a fun day!

“Winter to summer in one day…”. I had to chuckle. Here in Florida, I said earlier this year, “if I had known spring was going to be only 3days, I would have tried to enjoy it more!”

These turned out awesome. such great ways to use up greeting cards. Always hate to throw them away. the card for your inspiration journal is perfect💖

Oh, the bunnys !! This was great. I do love to save greeting cards. This is perfect for them. Thank you, Gayle 🐰

Thank you for sharing these things!!! I have a ton of old greeting cards that were given to me from my Birthday’s and Etc!!! Can wait to try this!!!

My grandchildren would love to get a little journal made from a card, and they go together so quickly. Thank you for sharing all of the ideas in this video with us!

Don’t know how I missed this, but when you started talking about lawns , school, I checked the date😂😂anyway, great idea! Definitely saving to do. Thanks.

When you brought out your bin of scraps- wow someone exactly like me! Aloha from Hawaii!🌺

I just love these projects, Gayle! Aside from separate journals, the pictures can be used in whole or part to make new cards. (There is a channel called Crafting Vicky who does this routinely.) They could also become pieces of ephemera for a Christmas journal or December Daily.) Mom taught me in the early 1950s to cut them up for tags for next year's gifts. Also, December Dailies can be made with the little plastic photo folders: take out the "guts" and replace the cover the manufacturer provided with one you've made. Insert photos and/or journal cards. They could also be used in a glue book. Combine with a theme, like pets, recipes or anything else you can imagine. Fussy cut images and store for future projects too. Keep the sentiments if you like them. If nothing else, some teacher would be glad to get them!

Love watching you craft....you always have just the perfect "stuff" to use!!!

I love this idea, thank you! I have a little stack of cards I got at the thrift store a while ago, and they will be perfect to use up in this way. Happy girl here!

Your greeting card journals are very clever! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Great ideas to use up greeting cards!! I've hinged 2 cards together and made like a folio with lots of pockets. Thanks for sharing your great ideas with us! Have an awesome day...💜

These ideas for old greeting cards are genius. They all turned out super cute. Great craft with me video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

This was quite relaxing to watch.

What a fantastic idea or rather ideas! I have a bunch of left over cards. My parents always saved the pretty Christmas cards to use as to from tags so they didn't have to buy tags. Using them for journals or lists is anither great way to utilize them

That's such a wonderful idea and it's automatic for me to say "blessed you" when you sneeze and then I sneezed after that. What a love morning for me to spend with you here. Love and hugs.

Great ideas! I have a ton of cards I've picked up from thrift stores so now I know what to do with them! Have a great day and enjoy the warm weather!

Really enjoyed your repurposing of the cards. Thank you. 💙🦋💙

Great idea......and so easy......well, you make it look easy!

I love this idea. So cute to add in gifts or just whatever! Lol. Thanks Gayle.

Great ideas Gayle! Glad to have you back from your retreat. Hope you have a wonderful visit with your family! Safe travels 😍❤

ALL great ideas, Gayle! Genius, really! I love the card-booklet-mini-journal and how you transformed the card back into a journalling card! Can't wait to try these ideas with my abundance of Christmas cards! TFS!❤

Thank you! Thank you! Just what I needed! Off to my craft room to give it a try! You’re the best Gayle!

Awesome "greeting card" journal's! So easy and fun! Thank you for sharing what you love!

Fun ideas, Gayle! Tyfs! 😊💗

That was an awesome way to use the cards! Great ideas...I always say "bless you " when you sneeze...lol. I have 3 bunnies that show up and play in our yard too! They are so cute!

Love all of your ideas for greeting cards Gayle! You know the dollar store has some really cute cards that would work!

I love this... i have soo many saved cards waiting to be 'crafted' with.... so many ideas now 😎

Totally love your style and all the ideas. So grateful to have found you❤

These are so darn cute! I love the rose journal card 😍

Happy Monday Gayle, loved , loved this video . Thanks to Julie from me . What great ideas you had , Gayle. An amazing video. Blessings 🌺🌸🌺

Thankyou for sharing Gayle, I’ve got lots of card making kits that have sat in my studio for years, now I have some ideas to use them up! Take care and stay safe x

I find greeting cards at garage sales, goodwill and ask my family for their old ones!! I love adding them to so many projects. Thank you for the reminder to use up my stash!!

Love these ideas so much, Gayle. I just hit a find of cards that normally sell for $26 a set for a buck at my Goodwill. I knew I was going to do something like this, but wow you never cease to amaze with your ideas and skills! Stay cool!

Good morning Gayle! Great request and idea. Very hot on the East Coast, heat wave. The great thing about it, I can coffee/tea dye papers, they will dry up fast. Yah..Happy Crafting..👍🌸🌸🌸

Those are so cute little journals, what a great idea.

This is such a great idea Gayle!!! This would make a great Christmas card list that you can just put into your purse and go Christmas shopping with!!! LOVE IT!!!

Great ideas! Thanks for asking, Julie! Thanks for showing some different things we could make, Gayle!

All such adorable ideas! Love to see repurpose ideas rather than beautiful cards go in recycling!🥰🇨🇦

The corrugated cardboard was a new idea for me. I love how you repurpose. I have lots of old cards from my Mom and Mother-in-law.

These are great ideas! I love to repurpose my greeting cards! I find some terrific ones at the flea market and garage sales! I've cut around flowers and different objects on a card and then used it as a pocket in my journal as well.

This was so perfect 👍 I was just cleaning out my stash.

Love all the great ideas Gayle

I really like these ideas! I’m always finding old cards mixed in boxes etc. Sometimes we end up with “to do” piles scattered everywhere and it can get overwhelming. I like how you break projects down into manageable pieces. It just works 💜 loved this helpful tutorial.

Oh, Gail! I have tonnage Christmas stuff. If I can make these in July, I can have a Christmas Shopping list book as my Christmas cards to mail first of December. Thank you for the inspiration!

Loved how you repurposed these cards!

Such a good idea! I love this, Gayle!

I LOVED this! I have always deconstructed cards that I receive, and I would reuse whatever bits off of it that I could, like ribbons and beads, but this idea is a great use for the whole card!! tfs

All excellent ideas! Thanks for showing, what a great question! Ok, that lil girl on your idea journal cover 🥰

Absolutely loved this tutorial! I am going to make these for people coming to an art retreat that I will be holding in Oct. They can use them to journal in during the retreat or jot down ideas. Thank you so much!

What a great idea/tutorial! I have a ton of old greeting cards that I want to try this on! 😁

I'm loving these ideas! So beautiful! Thank you 😊

WOW I'm new enough to be dazzled at all your quick and easy ideas. Those card journals would be so awesome for Retirement home gifts. Places to put your "don't forget to tell...(family)" for things you need to share. Love it.

What a great idea Gayle, I love them and thanks for sharing...🌸

Love the idea of mini journals. I usually just do journal cards out of them. I will definitely have to try these,

What an awesome idea ! These are so cute !

Love these ideas! Thanks Gayle.💖

Love love love th mini journals!! Great ideas! Thank u for sharing this!! Hugs!!

Thanks so much for this Gayle. I use a lot of greeting cards and punch the card fronts. I have a ton of card backs. You gave me some ideas!! Just need to make the time. Carolyn

You could make tag shapes for on presents or pockets in journals.

Everything looks awesome, Gayle! Love the end with the cute little girl on your journal! Inspiring me to go do some conversions with all the greeting cards I have, which is a whole bunch! Thanks for these tips! Sue :)

Hi Gayle, love what you did with the greeting cards! I have a few that I could convert, especially those that have been sent to me that I just can’t throw away. 🤗 Hugs!

Brilliant! I was recently gifted with three enormous zip lock bags stuffed with assorted greeting cards. I was excited for the envelopes, but doubtful that I would ever use the cards. As soon as this video is over, I am retrieving them from my storage drawer and have my project for the day. Thank you so much.

Great way to make mini journals. Love it

Hi Gayle, I had to watch this video again , because I wanted to make these tags for my December Daily . Great ideas you had . Plus great video . Blessings for you and your family. 🎄💚🎄

Good morning! Love these ideas! Thanks for sharing! Blessings!💕

So many cute inspirations! Look forward to hearing your weekend stories💕🐬hugs

This was such a fun video. Sooo many good ideas. Thank you!

Very creative and crafty. Thanks for sharing some good ideas with us. Appreciate it 👍

These came out great Gayle! Love the little journals. It's 93 here today in MA. TFS

Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with me! I am going to my fiftieth class reunion this weekend (51-covid lockdown delayed it in 2020) and some of my friends are bringing me vintage cards! So excited! You're a peach! Now I sound like my mom! 😀😊😊

Thank you for another great video with new ideas for repurposing cards!

Love your ideas with the cards..I did one also a few months ago that would fit into my purse. ❤️

I love these ideas! How fun and easy! 🤗💕🦋

The corrugated cardboard idea is cool!

Good afternoon Gayle I am so looking forward to this x

You had me at precious little bunnies Gayle. That card would certainly bring a smile and a little booklet would just be a fun bonus. My step mother donated to a few causes and got on a list where she received tons of cards and other stuff most every week. I kept most of those when she and dad passed. Some of them are so pretty. This would be great way to use some of those. Hugs Gayle

These are great ideas! I live in Gilbert AZ and we have a little bunny living in our front yard. So cute!

I really enjoyed watching you make things out of cards! I save every card I every get, and now I know what to do with them! Thanks!! (I wanted to make a collage out of Christmas Cards, but they're all too pretty!!)

I love the ideas for the greeting cards!

Love everything...wonderful ideas and I am a newbie
