Hello, my name is Cheryl. As soon as my health improves I'll be taking the plunge. I'm certain you will do a fantastic job. You sound a bit nervous, but just get what you need to create what's to be amazing no matter what you need to create your journal. I put all materials in a plastic , 12x12 project box. ( Plastic) This helps me be very organized. My nails filed, (ok bitten off) I'm human😱 lol. Then, when I'm ready, I will watch what is the "video again." Next, I follow along with her and having what I and my husband believe To Be hysterical, ( you might need to watch those 2x before you follow along. Oh dear is she ever funny. She truly is most amazing JOY filled woman I've never met in my life. I really do appreciate her for sharing 365 videos a year. Oops, almost forgot. I've already asked God for forgiveness for being jealous of her PILES of Ephemera "at the ready" Happyscrappy45, you will be in the best of care with sweet Gayle. The best comedian EVER. God Bless🙋‍♀️

I had asked you for a tutorial on these LGB journals when I signed up for the freebie. Then I found you’ve already done it! I should have known - you are so generous to share everything. As I watched this I noticed that you said the spine cover is a little ragged at the bottom of the spine. I’m wondering if you couldn’t start the fabric spine wrap in the middle of the inside of the spine, wrap it over the top and around the outside of the spine, wrap it around the bottom of the spine, and then finish it back in the middle of the inside spine. That way, the two ends of the fabric would meet inside the book spine and be eventually hidden by the signatures and neither the top or bottom of the spine would be ragged. (Was that clear as mud? Ha)

These are beautiful and as a Little Golden Book collector (I have over 250) I managed to watch without too much cringing since the one you used had a bar code. :) I actually have some newer copies that I'd love use for this. Thank you for sharing! I do hope that anyone that wants to do this will check to make sure that their book isn't one of the rarer ones before they rip it up. Some of us have been searching for those for years, but as they say "the early bird gets the worm". I love your work Gayle and really appreciate that you share it with us.

Eloise Wilkin GBs are my absolute favorite! I am SO going to make a journal with one. On my short list. Thank you for sharing your process. I wondered what you used for the spine. I have used boxes in the past, but they were a bit thin and did not seem sturdy enough to suit me. I know it isn't rocket science, but it is always helpful for me to see what others use...and what works for them! Blessings on you, Gayle!

@louisazhou9984 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your tutorial! It's really inspiring! The fabric you chose looks really nice with the picture on the book cover! I'm just wondering whether the fabric is strong enough to hold the covers together coz you only sticked a small margin of the fabric onto the covers so as not to cover up the pictures too much. Maybe I'm worrying too much coz I'm always worrying about the endurance of the spine lol

@gayleagostinelli_ct 6 жыл бұрын

Louisa, I think since the fabric wraps all the way around the spine, it's doubly adhered, if that makes sense. I think with all of the journals folks make, they need to be treated with gentle hands. If you think about it, anything handmade can be compromised with rough treatment from quilts to handbags to clothing. All that to say, I believe the fabric spines will hold up with time and for the purpose intended. Thanks so much for watching and taking time to comment! ❤️
