I am extremely blessed to have found you... I'm not fully Boho or shabby chic and you're the best of both worlds. Thank you.

Oh my I just realized that this video is 4 years old!! I think one of your best and still so perfect to help us newer journal makers. Thanks and blessings from Ohio.

I hit a dry spell with ephemera ideas so I went backwards and found this video that I had never seen. SO HELPFUL! A few new great ideas for decorating ephemera was just what I needed! GREAT video!

One of the things I absolutely love, and it is especially true in this video, is your ability to quickly pick items for your projects....that is my struggle...I overthink everything and then I don't complete anything!!!

Gotta comment again.....This video has been SUPER helpful. Watching how you make your decisions in putting you journal together! Really Gayle, Thank You!

Gail, this is a very helpful video of your, PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER TALKING OTHER 12 ELEMENTS FOR A JOURNAL. Put all of them first together and close to the end of your video incorporate them to your journal...please. Love, love love your videos.

I wonder if you could use slow Stitch pieces for fabric flips? So u-tube suggested this video. I must admit I had forgotten some of this. The funniest part is I remember all the great stories. I use the strings, tiny yarn pieces or fabric scraps that are to small in place of fiber fill whenever I stuff anything. First time second time anytime I watch one of your videos you always make me smile you're like my little sista. My little sister was 7 years younger than me she was actually my cousin but my grandmother raises together when she was in her fifties we lost her to diabetes. But she could do a myriad of wonderful things just like you and she was a sweet and lovely as a perfect spring day just like you. I'm so glad that I found you Gail 😍🐞🥰

Thank you Gayle for always being so positive and uplifting. This video helped me so much for inspiring ideas especially for white pages in a signature. Love love it. I thoroughly enjoy your videos.

Thanks, now I have a check list, brilliant. Have a lovely day, suns shining here after a stormy day yesterday. Xx

Gayle, thank you for doing this video! What a wonderful checklist to work from, and I love how you place things opposite other things. Blessings!

Just catching up on older videos Thank you for sharing 💕🙏🏼🌷

Hello and thank you for this video!! Incredibly helpful for me as I am trying to complete a cowboy junk journal for my husband's birthday. You share so much and I am truly grateful. 😊

Wonderful video Gayle!! So sweet of you to share your ideas!! It's going to be a beautiful journal!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

Great video! I love all the ideas, now I need to fill a basket with finished ephemera to grab from. Tfs! God bless!

12is so much better than 5!! I love that you are an over achiever, lol. Beautiful works as always. Thanks Gayle.

I absolutely love watching everyone of your videos. I learn so much from you. I am just starting making junk journals and you give me so many ideas. Thank you 🙏

Thanks Gayle. These videos DEFINITELY are helpful for us newbies. And your videos are great in that I feel we are just chatting away while crafting. Love the checklist...will use that to make sure I have ideas on what should go in my journal.

Thank you for sharing your ideas for your top 12 ephemera pieces. You are so talented...love to see your thought process also about where and why you put the items certain places as well.

Thanks Gayle for going thru all these additions. I sit down to decorate and it's like a blank canvas for an artist or white page for a writer, lol. Now I have a quick go to list or a lovely video to work along with. Sooo helpful! Thank you, thank you! Gina C.

Gayle this was fantastic! Loved seeing you go through your stash and picking just the right thing. 🤗 hugs and thank you!

Also I love ❤ the lace paper page. Thank you again for sharing

I only just found this video and it is so helpful and inspiring. A great suggestion by Sammi and I am so pleased you showed us 12 pieces Gayle.

So elegant so pretty so vintage. I love your work and style thank you for sharing all the wonderful tips. 😊

Thank you that was awesome for newbie🤣🤣🤣 I’m late to the party but I get so much from your videos. ❤️

What an awesome video. You are such an inspiration to all of us new junk journalers. Hugs to you my friend

Loved this video. I now have a 12 Essential list to work with. Thank you Gayle, you're such fun to watch.

Just LOVE all the ideas you have for essential ephemera! Even when you are trying to decide where to put the elements, getting the 'walk thru' of the journal is an inspiration! As always. :) Thanks so much.

This video is a fantastic resource. I could watch it over and over. Thank you🌸

Very, very helpful, Gayle. Sometimes you need more stuff but you just draw a complete blank! I made a screen shot of your list and am putting it in my example journal. Thx. 🙏🤗

Your color choices are amazing. Being a beginner, i don't have all the lace and fabric to teach true awesomeness! But eventually i will get there. Thank you for making these bideos.

Hi such inspiration thanks for sharing. A little tip for napkins and getting the shape you want, just go round it with a wet paint brush and the excess will just slide away.

I know I'm late to the party but I really enjoyed this. I think having a go to list is a great idea to have. Sometime I get going and know I need to add something else but can't think in the moment. Great ideas and I really enjoyed your process of where you put it all throughout.

Woo hoo 3 years ago! Off today and binge watching video xoxo 😘 🤗 💕 💖

Tfs Gayle. You have a lovely selection of ready made ephemera. xxx

Thank you. This was so helpful, not only the ideas but also the way you organize your items.

Thank you for this comprehensive list and tutorial. Wonderful inspiration. Very helpful information for us newbies. I just love watching your videos.

I loved this video, thank you, Gayle! Now I just want to run and MAKEALLTHETHINGS!!! 😘 *turns over on the couch and watches another Gayle video* 😬😂

Wonderful video - thanks for not stopping at 5!

Thank you, Gayle. This was so very helpful to a newbie. Also wanted to mention that I do the same thing by cross-hatching the tail of my check mark when double checking something. ;-)

Perfect!!! Loved this video. Wrote everything down as I am starting a new journal with a friend. We will be doing it every Monday night for two hours. We will be facetiming. Your list will definitely help me. Thank you for the very informative video. Have a great rest of your day💞💞💞

All terrific ideas! I have a HUGE box of vintage material I didnt know what to do with. Now I know. I can guess that you just tore long pieses and rolled them up on cardstock to use as bellybands. Great great idea! I also inherited a very old sewing machine from my Mom but dont know how to thread the thing, so I dont sew anything. Maybe I need to pull it out and try again. Thank you Gayle for the inspiration!

Thank you for sharing your talents. I just recently found your videos. I have learned so much and have carried away so many ideas. I am working hard not to worry about everything being “perfect” and just enjoying my crafting time. Again thank you.

Very helpful Gayle! Organization is everything :) Love the list idea! :)

Great list, but I agree with your additions to the initial list! TFS the inspiration, Gayle!

You knocked it out of the park with your list! Great reminder and awesome inspiration. You rock with your cute little laugh and your happy attitude. We are so blessed to have a creative spirit. Thank you for sharing.

Gayle, thank you so much for doing this video. I’ve watched this video 4 times so far. 💜💜

I was viewing this on KZfaq TV today and wanted to leave you a personal message. I love the way you put together this journal all the ephemera that you made and the reasoning of how you placed them. I never looked at it that way! I really enjoyed this video even though it was a year ago. It was important for me to let you know that Gail! Tyfs!

Thanks for this Gayle, it really helps in organising ephemera for journals. Amanda xox

Hi love this video. It has helped me a lot. Thought of another one-- a frame.

This was an immensely helpful video. Love the way you explain your process. Such beautiful work!

Gayle you are so brilliant - gently making decisions and creating beautiful things, all the while helping us to see how it is done. Always if Iwant to be engaged, learn something and at the same time relax into the joy of journalling, you are my KZfaq go to channel. Thank you for your generosity in sharing what you do so well.

Gayle, thank you so much for this great video! It is more help than you can imagine. So often I have so many ideas for what to include in my journals that are just floating around in my head. This grounded me. For some crazy reason it became like a file folder in my brain. I took your list and customized it to what I like to see in my journal and created my own list. Thank you for all of your inspiration, your wonderful videos and your easy going style of your videos. Today as I watched your ‘decorate with me’ video, you made me laugh out loud at you and the glue cap. Thx for giving me the giggles. Have a sweet Sunday evening.

Oh, so fun to watch what your list of essential ephemera are to put into a journal! This was very helpful! Thanks to Sammi for such a great suggestion and you, Gayle, for all the demonstrating on here! Just love listening to you! You are a great teacher!

Very helpful video Gayle I really enjoyed this. Thanks so much for all the wonderful tips.

Thank you for such a helpful list! Love, love, love your videos!

Thanks for all these great ideas! And as far as the Art Glitter Glue goes ... I have a big refill bottle that I just refill the smaller one with! (That way I don't have to mess with removing that tip!!)

Hello Gayle, i just found your channel a few days ago. I want to thank you so much for all the great things. Im just getting into this. Still learning. I have afew channels i view, im glad i found yours. Thanks you Adrienne

Thank you to Sammi for suggesting this, this is going to be a favorite video. Gail, I think you could do a whole series like this.

Very pretty Gayel. I love how creative you are !!! Saved it to my faviorites, so that I can refer to your list as I finish my journals. I'm getting closer all of the time. Need to add just a couple of paers to each journal. Making ephermia to add to pockets, tucks and envelops. Prepaird lace to make more cofee/tea bag papers. Going to try food coloring again tomorrow
