Love the Forgotten Friends Friday! You have the space to house lots of Forgotten Friends! Keep at it. You'll get through things! I'm organizing this morning and finding, then alternately losing things. Too much fun! Have a grateful day. Blessings!
Not into “Grungy” journals? Me neither, HOWEVER, I watch and I listen and, I learn. That is why I love you Gayle! You are such a wonderful teacher of your craft ❤! By watching this ‘grungy journals’ video, I continue to learn about composition, how to use paper and fabric together, how to tear different papers, the art of collage, and so much more! Makes me want to try my hand at paper making!
It’s great to do a grungy journal every so often because It can be intense doing other ones. Intensely fun but a grungy journal loosens me up and more inspiration arrives.💌❤️📚
It's always fun hanging out with you, Gayle, and watching your creative exploits take whatever direction. Inspiration = Gayle / Gayle = Inspiration. Thank you! Belinda xxx
Gayle, I know you use all your packing paper scraps in so many creative ways and use so many bits and bobs in creating your journals. But, I recently got so overwhelmed with my STUFF, I just started throwing things into my car and donated it to my favorite thrift store. Books, beads,and lots of other things that I've forgotten about. I almost immediately regretted many of the things I donated and could have whooped my own butt. 😥 The main thing I'm upset about were my buttons, that I'd collected a long time and dozens of ribbons. I have been recovering for some months from several surgeries and was just thinking I HAD TO START clearing out.. Oh well, when I can get out again, I'll have fun shopping for vintage buttons again. It makes me happy to think another crafter was thrilled to have found all those buttons. I have quit saving junk mail and have fine tuned what I allow myself to bring home. I still have a lot that needs donating but have placed on hold for now. Big Hugs Gayle. I know you and Mike will have such fun with Bucky and Lief. I miss having small grands.
You and ARTYmaze are the best at making extremely beautiful grunge! I'm honored to have won one of her pieces a few years back by commenting on a surprise giveaway. I have your lovely double journal cards, I'm so blessed. 🐞
Good afternoon Gayle! I love watching you go through all this grungy goodness! I also like watching you work on these, everything is so unique. Just a heads up, of the 6 new sets I listed 3 are already gone! Check them out or you can request a color to be made if you need something specific. Hugs ❤❤❤
Good morning Gayle. You are amazing. You can make something out of nothing and make it something to enjoy. Hope the concert goes well. Take care. Big hugs. 💕
I’m not even halfway through yet but I have to tell you before I forget. That black metal piece is a label clip that you slide over the top of the spine on a binder then you can label what’s in your binders. We had them on all our binders at work, I have a few at home which now I’m thinking might be cute on the spine of a journal, but I never would’ve thought of it if I hadn’t seen yours.
Good morning, Gayle! I told mom that sometimes when you start something, I'm thinking oh I don't know about that! But then when it comes together, I love it! You are an amazing creator!
I love all that super grungy, super coffee saturated stuff! Pretty sure the paper that reminded you of elephant dung paper is mulberry paper. (Who knew that elephants wipe?!)
Grungy journals are the best for just for letting go and let the art move you. It’s like I don’t have to think. My fingers are already picking up what is to be used next. I love making things grungy and old. This will be a cool journal. Loving it already.
Good morning Gayle! Beautiful fun Grunge journal! Such a freeing feeling of not being precise and just grunge to our heart’s content. I’m a neat freak so it nice to just go with the flow sometimes when it comes to crafting. Have a wonderful day and hope the weather will be perfect for your daughter & family’s visit! 💖
That grunge journal just looks like pure fun. I really want to do one of those. I need to start over coffee dying every piece of junk paper I can lay my hands on, lol.
Hey Gayle 😀 I am loving all this grunge! That packing paper reminds me of cube steak.😂😂 you said that you might have had too much coffee, although you were speaking about your dye solution, I said yeah, me too as I finished my 8th cup.
Good morning Gayle! I just wanted to say that I always find your grungy journals quite magical. It's because you are able to make something quite lovely from nothing at all!
Yep, I loooove the grungy style for playing myself. I can admire the beautiful journals you make with scrapbook paper or matching printables, but when I buy supplies like that, they just sit there looking pretty while I think, "Ooooh, let's use this literal trash instead!" 😂
I'm doing the Margarete Miller challenge in a grungy journal and it is SO freeing. I can't make it look any worse. 😜 I hope you have a fantabulous Friday. Love&hugs
It was fun watching you go through your papers. I giggled when you said some of those papers had too much coffee. I have some papers that had too much coffee when I first started coffee dying my own papers. This is a great grunge journal. Have a blessed day!
Good morning Gayle. I totally forgot you started this journal.when I saw you do the journal I found that I love grungy! Of course, as always, I love your style. Thanks for all you do! ❤
Buenos Diaz Gayle it's the 4 am hour again. I'm laughing out loud. As you were sorting through this second tray, I had just said to myself, you have enough for four more journals and the next thing out of your mouth was you have enough paper for 1400 more journals hahaha. That went by way too fast, more please 🙃🙂
It's me again. Being that this journal is ring-bound, if things don't want to stick to the various papers, you can always are a little messy sewing...you don't even need to see all the around.💕 love this video!!
I think if I were you, I’d put those bigger pages in one of your large ziplocks you take to retreats, and the smaller scraps in a bag so you can have one more row cleaned off your cart. Maybe take those extra pages and start a new one when your at your retreat! P.S. the paper I sent you is like what they put on the table at the drs office. I bought it new, coffee dyed it and stamped. It’s actually a kinda strong but cool different paper.
Cool idea I don’t know why I’ve never thought of just asking for some while I’m at the doctor or just pulling a piece off when they’re not in the room.
Yippee! Grunge journal day! I am with you, so easy to play and just put anything down. Hope your visit with the boys was funtatastic, can't wait to hear about it. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs 🤗
Happy FF! Enjoyed watching you create your grungy journal. I love the idea to make one, practicing collaging and so on. I just cleared up my scraps by making master boards. Today I will be printing on canvas to make a cover, fingers crossed it comes out good, if not I could always layer fabric on it. Have a great day and wonderful weekend. 👍❄️❄️❄️
I remember when you were working on this journal. The last thing I remember is when you put the reinforcements on the side of the pages that had the punched holes. Good to see you working on it again.
Hi Gayle when will you be thinking of listing some of your retreat journals? I check daily but haven’t seen anything yet. I know you randomly list hit will it be soon or are you waiting until company gone and babysitting done! I have giggled about your nervousness watching the little ones. When I babysit mine I have to take a nap afterwards!! 😂😂
Oh my I love this journal! I came late to the party and have not seen this before. I’ve heard you talk about your grungy journal but this is great! Do you use felt or foam ends on your daubers? Do you have a preference?
Grungy is a good thing because it frees up your mind to do extraordinary things.
Oh baby…I have the perfect cereal box to make a grungy tag journal cover! Gayle Agostinelli: The Inspiration Queen!! 👸🏻
Oh, I love the grungy journal!What a fun one, Gayle! Love it so far! Hugs! Sue ♥
Love the Forgotten Friends Friday! You have the space to house lots of Forgotten Friends! Keep at it. You'll get through things! I'm organizing this morning and finding, then alternately losing things. Too much fun! Have a grateful day. Blessings!
Thank you, Lynnea! It’s a balance between wanting to finish things up and still doing what inspires me. It’s going to take some time for sure! ❤
Wow!!! Lots of grungy. I think it is best not to start anything new. You are right to keep on working on what is not finished💖💖💖
Who knew grungy could be so beautiful!? GAYLE!!! 😘❤

Ohhhh the crinkle is wonderful and so are these journals!! I’m looking forward to these and thank you for sharing!
Good morning Gayle!! Oh how I love me some grunginess and this journal fills the bill!! TFS!!
💖💕Hugs!!
Morning Junell! ❤
It’s great to do a grungy journal every so often because It can be intense doing other ones. Intensely fun but a grungy journal loosens me up and more inspiration arrives.💌❤️📚
Good Morning Gayle. The grunge journeys are so fun to look at.

Morning and thanks so much, Beverly! ❤
Awesome forgotten friend, love the grungies!!!! 😍💕
Oh I love the big tag book! 😍 I find that very inspiring! Thanks Gayle!🫶🏼
I didn't think I was too fond of the grungy style, but you're changing my mind! I'm really liking this "tag " journal! Fascinating! TFS🤗
Hello Gayle, that was some grungy fun there, thanks for sharing.
I love all that super grungy, super coffee saturated stuff! Pretty sure the paper that reminded you of elephant dung paper is mulberry paper. (Who knew that elephants wipe?!)

So much fun. I want your scraps. Lol
Fun to play with scraps.

Good morning and thank you, Mary Lou! ❤
Good Morning Gayle, love your grungy journal. It's 3:34am and I'm making paper dolls. Hope you have a lovely day. 😍
Sounds like me❤, the only time there’s no interruptions 😂. My “happy hour” hah
Morning Christine! ❤
Good morning Gayle! 💕 Couldn’t go back to sleep and here you are doing grungy, woohoo! Love it! Stay safe, warm and well! 💕
Morning Deb! ❤
That’s super grungy, Gayle. A different but fun change. Very nice!!❤❤
Love this idea of the tag looking JJ!
This grunginess looks so delicious.😂

Super grungy for sure! I could never do a grungy journal as watching you was giving me anxiety!😂
It was fun watching you go through your papers. I giggled when you said some of those papers had too much coffee. I have some papers that had too much coffee when I first started coffee dying my own papers. This is a great grunge journal. Have a blessed day!
So much fun! I’m feeling inspired Gayle ❤. Excited to see what else you do to these grungy journals.
Good morning Gayle. I totally forgot you started this journal.when I saw you do the journal I found that I love grungy! Of course, as always, I love your style. Thanks for all you do! ❤
Morning Debbie! ❤
L-Lysine is a supplement for cold sores, when you feel one starting.

Great idea about the storage! And I LOVE that paper! I’ll have to go on Amazon and see if I can find it. Thanks, my friend! ❤
Cool idea I don’t know why I’ve never thought of just asking for some while I’m at the doctor or just pulling a piece off when they’re not in the room.
Good morning Gayle 💜
Morning Denise! ❤
Lots of cool ideas. Happy Friday to you too...
The first tomato of the season sometimes gives me cold sores and being too stressed out.

Hi Gayle ❤
Hi Lulu! ❤
Happy Friday💕 sis! Love forgotten Fridays, can’t wait to see what we have for today! Safe travels today! Blessings! Love you! ❤
Love you, sis! ❤
Oh my I love this journal! I came late to the party and have not seen this before. I’ve heard you talk about your grungy journal but this is great! Do you use felt or foam ends on your daubers? Do you have a preference?
I use foam and prefer it. 👍❤️
This was very fun. I need to do the beeswax thing! When coffee dying, how do you get the patterns to show? Are they stencils?
They are plastic placemats and tablecloths. I haven’t tried stencils. ❤️
Bees wax paper? Love it!!! Where do I get some? I’ve looked but can’t seem to find any. Thanks 😊
I made the bees wax paper! Search Gayle Agostinelli Wax Paper for the how to videos! ❤
❤
❤❤❤
❤️😊❤️.
👍😁
🌸🌿💗🌿🌸
Very grungy indeed…a clean freak might wanna throw that in the washer…that wouldn’t be me😅 very nice, I like it!
❄️❤️❄️🇨🇦
I love grunge. I need to learn how to make that wax paper. Blessings! @theresaconway-hayes
Happy Friday.
Same to you, Debra! ❤
