This journal is going to be fantastic. Thank you so much for all of the ideas and featuring the different paper designers. I started making journals probably early in 2019 and I love it. I think that Traci Fox was my first. She had the journal with all of the templates. I wanted more freedom with mine and looked further and saw the tiny junk journals and I was hooked. I absolutely love all of the RUclips channels on these. I was gifted a used fish tackle box. All I had to do was wash it out. It wasnt really dirty, but I scrubbed it down and made it into a bead storage box. It would be good for storing crafting supplies. So if you can't find one in the craft section look at the fishing gear too
I love your faux front envelopes! Good to see you doing them again. I know the feeling of not wanting to run out of something and hoarding it, but I keep reminding myself that there will always be something new to me that I'll find and by letting go of the old, I'll have room for the new.
Gorgeous Gayle, now I feel confident enough to trial the faux envelopes...but you know the best part of the video ? Your sense of humour and that lovely giggle of yours. Thank you and hugs from the land of Oz
Hi Gayle, working on my second journal! Inspired by your boho series to try one for my teenage granddaughter. I don’t have access to the gorgeous jewel toned sari fabrics but your suggestion of beads and sequins is working out well. Yes, you are right...I am hooked! 😃❤️
Hi Gayle, it's Alesia your faux front envelopes are beautiful and I love how you are making the Journal it is already beautiful, I cannot wait to see the finish product, love your videos and I love your stories they are always so amusing and funny. God bless you. Thanks for sharing with us always Gayle.
Hi Gail! My 7 year old daughter Jackie Jewel and I have been loving watching your videos! I've been working on a shabby journal in my spare time and your videos are indispensable! Plus I like the long ones while I'm working🐩 or getting her to sleep.🛌 Thank you for all your hard work! 📚✂
You're so right Gayle. I made my first journal a few months ago and I'm totally obsessed. I've made a few small ones now and even made myself a glue book to slap stuff into when I have just a few minutes to craft...lol. I have your faux front envelope on my list of projects to try. Thank you for all your videos. I watch them as I do other stuff often so I don't comment as often as I would like but I do "talk" to you a lot...lol
Love these envelopes and especially enjoy your delightful conversation as you craft - so much fun to envision along with you as you make design decisions - the struggle is so very real as we create. Thanks for sharing yourself with us.
Gayle, It’s coming along beautifully! I have to tell you though, when you said you were wondering what else you could put on the envelope, you didn’t hear me hollering or you ignored me saying, “Get the wax rose out, get the fire stick!” I’m still watching the video but I had to pause & comment as to, Humm...I wondered where you were about to go with the fishing lure box? 😂😂😂 Yes, your great find at an estate sale is a fishing lure box. I’ve had one just like it since 1991. 😂 But now if I come across another one that is clean, I will sure use it for lace. Thanks!
You have me hooked now, for definite. Your videos are so great. Gives me so many ideas too. Now, I wish, I never gave so much away.. I'm in Scotland and also wish we had the same goodwill stores. Craft supplies in stores is so limited where I am. Doing my first journal now, thanks to you. Xx
Oh Gayle you made laugh!! You sound just like me. Tech is suppose to always work the first time!! When my kids were little I was so overwhelmed some days and I was praying for patience and didn't understand why things seemed to get worse and my frustration much higher!! When I went to S.S. The next Sunday I told them that I couldn't understand why I was having such a hard time because I was asking God for patience and everyone started laughing. And I was like what's so funny I'm frustrated. And our S.S. School teacher Mrs. Brooks who was 91 by the way and a firm believer and a wonderful woman began to explain by asking a question. Freida what does the Lord do when you ask to grow in an area such patience? And the lightbulb came on and I said very quietly... He sends lessons so you can learn and grow in that area. And she said... So Freida pray for strength and peace and joy in being a mother. Don't pray for patience unless you want more things to come to teach you that!! Very valuable lesson. I miss her a lot because she helped me grow in my faith!!! But I hear you Gayle you would think by now they could upload your videos much easier and faster. Something we could pray about!!!
I love watching👉 your work👈. You've inspired me to keep at it😊 So, now whenever I craft...I just leave your videos running while I'm crafting. Your faux front envelope is awsome👍Thx 🌸
Noticed that you said your mod podge was gross and saw the wax paper. I used my berts bees lip balm all around the mouth of the container as well as the inside cover. It works wonders!! Just a tip.
Lovely envelopes for the journal. I like the idea of sewing the pages together to make them double sided. I usually just print something on the backs with my printer.
That yellow butterfly is a Yellow Swallowtail ... A monarch is orange and black. Our ski area here in CO is named Monarch ...they used to be pervasive here but populations have tanked from the loss of wild Milk Plants where they lay their eggs and create the catapilliars. TMI ... but I have friends who raise Monarchs to help the population thrice better. Thanks Gayle for listening! Lol
Loving the envelopes. I purchased the Tim Holtz Holiday version of the papers you used and I'm going to decoupage an envelope for my December Daily. Thanks for the inspiration!
I live this tutorial I've watched it many times especially when I feel like giving up... I watch ur channel everyday faithfully u even play while we are driving in the car... I've started numerous journals but yet finished one it's sad but true I never finish one journal...maybe I'm not meant for this even tho I love doing it
Hello from Australia Gayle, watching you Mod Podge reminded me that you were going to show me some of the Fabric / paper that you video taped some time back.
Yes, my friend! Totally spaced it for this video, but I actually wrote it down for tomorrow’s craft with me!! Yep, I’m at that point...gotta write it down!! So stay tuned!! ❤️
I have been wanting to make a junk journal, I need to go back and watch some of your other videos to figure the cover thing out. I'm so excited to take the plunge. I'm sure that all my other projects will fall by the wayside LOL I have already made a batch of coffee dyed paper after watching your video on that.
You are working with two of my favorite Tim Holtz tissue sets. I love to use those on my envelopes. Don't they just look fantastic on your cards? Great job with the sanding block too. I will have to try that. Well girlfriend, hubby will be home and I need to get something for dinner. I would rather have a cup of hot tea and hang out with you, but that's not going to happen. LOL Be well and will catch you later, gator.
HI I love your channel I have watched as many of your craft with me as I can find. I have been making journals for all of my family members. When we had a reunion some of them showed the books which caused a little problem for me like why didn't I get one. So for Christmas I will be in over drive to make as many as possible. Thanks for sharing
The same thing happened to me when I got my phone. Scarey I couldn't get into my PayPal, my online banking account or the foundation site for the orphanage. It did get worked out. But what an ordeal. I'm glad your husband got it worked out.
If you really like to do special effects on the flap of envelopes, Paper Wishes has a 2 sets of stamps(Christmas and Everyday) and a set of dues specifically for making envelope flaps decorative.
Hola soy de chile y me encanta todo lo que este hace la verdad es que no le entiendo nada pero he echo sus trabajo y estoy muy feliz de aprender la felicito y nunca deje de acer maravillas.... Gracias por si llegara a ver mi comentario.. De Chile stgo centro...
You realize don't you that most of us would stick with you for hours. 🙃 Also please do some of the glue book with us as I'm not sure what that is. Beautiful envelopes as always!!
Do you have a tutorial on how you did this journal? Taking apart the book and assembling the journal? I would love a tutorial or a link if there is one already. I love watching your channel such an inspiration!
Very pretty envelope! I heard you say something about running out of supplies and I had to laugh. I've seen your video on your craft room and I'm not sure you will ever run out of supplies...lol. But I get it...my craft room is very small and full to the brim but I continue to get more supplies to use cause I don't want to run out. What would we do if we couldn't craft?..that would be a bad day...lol!
I’m so behind on my videos. Love these envelopes. I was trying to stop you from making your one side that you glue down from making it double sided because you were gluing it down (the part you add the tab to). You didn’t hear me though. We all know it’s double sided and pretty under the glue so that’s good. Lol. Love ya
I love the thought that the little lady, whose estate sale I purchased the box from, snuck into her husbands garage and claimed that tackle box for her own. She needed a spot for her laces and appliqués!!! Haha! ❤️
39:17...teaching 5th graders can be a humbling experience: I thought I was giving the children a skill that would do them for life--folding paper back and forth numerous times to tear it straight and even. I looked out over the class and saw this super, little girl, head slightly lowered running the fold back and forth over her tongue while the rest of the class was still folding and refolding.
Gayle Agostinelli thank you. If O am seeing it correctly, is it a circle with curves cut into top and bottom? Wondering if I could make it. I have watched several of your videos in the past few hours and ai am anxious to create!
I was "crying in my beer" so to speak about not having double-sided paper and then I turned this on. You are a wonderful idea person! Thank you 😊

Got some new ideas from you today Gayle. Thank you for doing these "Craft with Me" videos.
So relaxing but yet very informative.

Hi Gayle,
Wow, this JJ is coming right along, so precious!

I love all of the envelopes Gayle, they turned out beautiful!
Thank you for sharing, love your work. Absolutely beautiful and so inspiring
I love it! That looks sooo cute....
Just finished watching. Omgoodness... love the decoupage cardinal & we’ll all of them honestly. Learned a lot from you today. Thank you.
I love the envelopes, Gayle. The colours are wonderful.
That was fun...boy that would have been a lot of work to do 6 envelopes! I love how you did all of them...can’t wait to see the finished journal!
This was a fun video I enjoyed it very much. I love the cardinal envelope it was my favorite ❤
Gayle, It’s coming along beautifully!

Faux front envelope is back I love it Gayle these are just adorable .... Tfs
Noticed that you said your mod podge was gross and saw the wax paper. I used my berts bees lip balm all around the mouth of the container as well as the inside cover. It works wonders!! Just a tip.
Hi Gayle catching up on your videos :-). Gosh these envelopes are gorgeous! I love them all!! So enjoyable to listen to you too! Crafty hugs Janine :)

Beautiful as always.
I cannot believe I hadn't thought of making my own two-sided cardstock....how cute!
They are all beautiful but my fav are the birds
Loving the envelopes. I purchased the Tim Holtz Holiday version of the papers you used and I'm going to decoupage an envelope for my December Daily. Thanks for the inspiration!

LOOK AT YOU GAYLE. LOVE YOUR BOX YOU GOT AT ESTATE SALE. YOUR SO ORGANIZED. LOVING YOUR U TUBE
Your lace storage box actually started out as a large Plano brand fishing tackle box! :)
Hello from Australia Gayle, watching you Mod Podge reminded me that you were going to show me some of the Fabric / paper that you video taped some time back.

Lovely idea Gail.thank you for sharing,you are such good inspiration to all us crafters. Diane
Can’t wait to watch you “reconstruct” that beautiful music book!
Hi Gayle...lovely!
You are Awesome! I would love to see what you do with those little bags with the hearts on them......
Beautiful envelopes, love them! :)
The same thing happened to me when I got my phone. Scarey I couldn't get into my PayPal, my online banking account or the foundation site for the orphanage. It did get worked out. But what an ordeal. I'm glad your husband got it worked out.
This is just beautiful! Love the faux front envelope ❤️ Big hugs~~Chelle
I always enjoy your “craft with me“, and sometimes I am babbeling with you (or in every video 😂) ❤
That's Beautiful...
gotta love the packaging lol
I love your inspiration

Two of my favorite things mod podge and napkins!
Very pretty !

I have a couple of those cases there tackle boxes I use them for craft supplies as well
Hermoso!
I have a tackle case like that! It holds part of my bead stash! LOL
Starting to watch your videos again. Just in case I missed something. Lol.
Very pretty thanks for sharing
Gayle, do you remember where you got the roses stencil? I haven’t found any that make such a lovely overall design.
My local craft store...which has gone out of business. 😥. I’m sorry I don’t have the packaging to tell you what it was. ❤️
Hi Gayle,
That case is a fishing tackle box. I’m so bummer I just donated mine to Goodwill!
I love the thought that the little lady, whose estate sale I purchased the box from, snuck into her husbands garage and claimed that tackle box for her own. She needed a spot for her laces and appliqués!!! Haha! ❤️
I am making a faux front envelope tomorrow! Thanks
I just bought this book at the thrift store
That case can be found at Walmart. It’s a fishing tackle box :)
Where did you get that sanding block? And is the modpodge you are using the matte one? TFS! Great Tut!!
Nancy, matte Mod Podge is what I use. I have no idea where I got the sanding block. I’ve probably had it 10 years! Sorry I’m not more help on that! ❤️
Love the stencil effect on the envelope! is that a Tim H. Brand?
Christina, no it’s not Tim Holtz, its a chipboard piece that I got years ago and just use it as a stencil! ❤️
I have spray bottles of water in my craft room and water brushes.
Gayle I have just started watching your videos. I have a question how do you cut the paper fabric journal covers after it dries
I have some heavy duty scissors that I got at Joanns that do the trick! ❤️
What is the beautiful tissue type paper you mod pod get on the two envelopes? It’s quite lovely and will be beautiful in the journal.
Angela Peck it’s Tim Holtz tissue paper. 😁❤️
“Skin a cat”? Never heard of... poor cats 🐱 Adorable envelope! Love HOW ORGANIZED you’re! All in containers, pouches, boxes... Amazing
My mom has said that for years. Lol
39:17...teaching 5th graders can be a humbling experience: I thought I was giving the children a skill that would do them for life--folding paper back and forth numerous times to tear it straight and even.

😂😂😂❤️
How do you do the tab you put on front? So cool!
It’s made with an old stampin up punch. I think the punch is discontinued but you might find one on EBay. ❤️
Gayle Agostinelli thank you. If O am seeing it correctly, is it a circle with curves cut into top and bottom? Wondering if I could make it. I have watched several of your videos in the past few hours and ai am anxious to create!
