- Beginning work on an altered book that will be filled with collage bits from some of my favorite journal makers and Etsy sellers. This video shows how to alter a book and I'll begin collaging the first few pages. Thanks for watching!

Your voice and the sound of you making art with books just stopped an anxiety attack I was having. Just wanted to say thank you. Got lost in this and then realized the anxiety was gone. Very calming and definitely inspiring.
Oh that makes my heart feel good, Rachel. Thank you for sharing this story! ❤️
Whenever I alter a book, I tend to obliterate everything - I quite like this gentle way of altering, leaving some of the pages with illustrations intact. You gave me some good ideas, thank you!
I sat down in front of the TV to begin an altered book, turned on your channel for company, and there you were Beginning an Altered Book! I'm starting my second altered book, but it's my first vintage altered book.
Nope, it was on camera. lol I love watching you problem solve and how you explain to us why you decided to do what you did. Thank you, Gayle.
Another project that you make me want to do. As regards to inking - embrace your style, it's part of why I (and I'm sure, others) love watching you. If you're enjoying it, we are enjoying it. ;)
Love your junk journal organizer too!
Very nice Gayle ,looking forward to watching u work in this book..
OMG Gayle you really crack me up 😂! Definitely rocking on today😆! I haven’t even watched the video yet😁😃
Gayle you are so funny I didn’t even notice🤣, do I say that? Too funny! Seriously, who has more fun than you???🥰
Good morning beautiful lady! So happy you are doing an altered book, great video.♥️
Super cool and super pretty. TFS
Gail, watching you work is my favorite guilty pleasure. I’ve learned so much! Thank you fri sharing your skills with us!
Another awesome video Gayle xx
I love how you saved the illustration pages! I plan on altering a giant flower book (with lots of photo pages) for my wedding (guest book/photo album) and that’s what I hope to do!! Ha! I find I end up doing that-excusing myself to look for stuff!!😊 You’re too fun!!❤️
I like to watch people collage too! thanks for taking us along on your journey!!!
Gayle I think you need to decorate however you want. You absolutely love the distressed look, so do it! Everyone I watch has a different style and each brings inspiration and new techniques along with them. I do not expect them to do the same thing and indeed I do not want them to. Stay true to what you love, and continue to love what you create. We do!
Was not off camera 😂 abd I laughed out loud!! Funny!
I have never done an altered book and this looks very interesting. Now you have my brain wanting to do one of these. Another fantastic crafting journey.
I almost choked when u said no distressing...lol I'm glad you did some...it's my favorite. Everything should look old and loved
It's amazing that you do what you do. I enjoyed watching you very much. I've never watched anyone change a book like this before. I feel I'm learning so much.
I am looking forward to watching more of the altered book progress. This is so pretty.
Hi Gayle. Another wonderful project. I sometimes feel like I am watching Romper Room waiting for my name to be called out for the hi and hugs ☺️❤️
As a kid I watched Romper Room every single day. I loved Miss Florence. I waited, with bated breath, to hear my name called out at the end of the program. She said all my siblings names on various days but never my name. I couldn’t figure out how she saw my siblings, who were at school, but couldn’t see me right in front of the TV. Then on the day Miss Florence finally said my name I was over the moon happy. My faithful viewership finally paid off. The first 15 years of my life I only met 1 other “Andrea”. It was not a wildly popular name. When I graduated from college, in just one of my college classes, there were 5 “Andreas”. It’s nice to know I’m not the only Andrea in the world anymore. 🥳💁🏻♀️👏🏽
Love this so much! Glad I found your channel ❤️
Absolutely amazing 🤩
Yes!!! Sticky scissors!!! I have a pair of those too! 😂 😆
I’m so excited you are doing an altered book as I have been wanting to do one too! So, I’m crafting with you! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Gayle, I just had to tell you you are my favotite teacher of crafting. I watch all your vids and so enjoy your sense of humor. It's just like your right here with me. I get sooooo many ideas from you! (Not enough time lol to do it all!) Please please keep on keepin on! Hugs
Thank you so much fo your kind comment, Lois! ❤️
Wonderful beginning ❤️
You absolutely make my day! I watch all of your videos with a huge smile on my face 😊
Good morning Gayle! Love this altered book beginning! Can’t wait for more lol ❤️🌹 have a blessed day
Love it! ...keep on distressing....it shows the love!
Gayle, still catching up in your videos and was so excited to see your new project was an altered book. Not only that, but you’re doing a series on it. Looking forward to viewing the rest!
😂🎉❤hello , I must try making these altered books. Great idea. Thank you 🙏
Actually, Gayle fulfilled my life-long dream of being called out just like Romper Room. She called my name last year!!! YEAH Gayle!!
Hi!! So much fun! I can’t wait to have more time to play with you! Xoxo❤️❤️❤️
Great video again Now I feel confident to make a start myself. Every morning I look forward to watching you create Thanks for always making your videos count Much love from Melbourne, Australia xx
"maybe i can limit my self to (inking) edges and focal points" she said.... and the crowd roared with laughter! 😂😆😍 ink away gayle..... we'd be disappointed if you didn't, and it adds just that extra something-with no added bulk! i had to go back and see the "missed stamping" since you were laughing so much-i totally missed it the first time! it is worth the rewind my friend-i needed a good giggle! i haven't done an altered book in ages, that's gonna change after seeing how much fun your having. excited to see the cover/DT project your doing for tracie! tfs pal, hope your having a great time with family as you get ready for the retreat! 💕
Perfect timing! I’ve been wanting to learn more about doing an altered book. Lots of instruction and tips. Great video, as always.
Lovin' this!
Hi Gayle, I never see any1 do this type of altering a book and I love what I saw so far. It's fun to hear your beautiful laugh.
Time spent here with you is just like going to your besties house to craft together. You make me laugh and you dont act like a professional in that you arent afraid to let loose and say something silly or even once in while kind goofy. I feel like I just spent time with a good friend jokin and having fun. I need this like you cant even imagine Gayle so thank you. Oh and I'm making an altered book so this is very informative on top of havin a blast. Marlene. and I dont mean you arent professional in what you do. It's just you can have fun while working.
Thank you, Marlene, for your kind, sweet comment! I love spending time with you too!! ❤️
I’m really looking forward to the rest of this project, Gayle. I didn’t think I wanted to make an altered book, but I’ve been inspired!
Gayle, I thoroughly enjoyed this video then decided to craft with you in my own altered book. Thank you. Hugs to you and your family with prayers for your daughter.
oh Gayle yay yay yay lol - i love playing in my altered book and i look forward to using your inspiration to continue - thank you so much for all you do hugs xx
hiya Gayle
new subbie here... If you will switch to a metal ruler and turn it over so that the corked backing is face up and you lay the flat metal part flat against the paper, you'll have zero issues tearing papers even the tiny strips. thanks so much for the videos. you've inspired me to craft again after many years off.
Welcome to my channel, Amanda! I’m so glad you’re here and crafting again!! Hugs to you! ❤️
I am just now learning about junk journals, I love your channel and have learned a lot still have lots to learn. I am praying that CRAPPA doesn't mess my favorite channels.
Omg, all those lovely little illustrations throughout that book would be so nice to work with. Great book.
thanks for showing me my 1st altered media book tutorial. I just happened to come across the mixed media artwork on pintrest and just thought maybe i have found my new niche in my art world. anyway thanks for the help your book is coming along beautifully
I ink every new project, while I am thinking of you and hear you lough.... You are my Inkingqueen! Enjoy your holidays Gayle
Watching others collage gives me so many different ideas. I'm constantly learning from all of you girls who I like
Inking s a good thing and it hides a multitude of “sins”. Not that you need to hide anything...except the occasional white edge. Keep on inking girl ‘cause you are so good at it. Go for it LOL
Love it love it!!! Yay, here we go, another series. TFS. 😻x
Great video. Love watching you create and listening to you talk. Have a crafty day.
I am sitting here with a very painful UTI, but you had me laughing all through the video with your cute little ways and I love how you laugh at yourself!!! And, by the way, you have me now needing to 'ink' just about everything!!! LOL!!!! Hugs, and more hugs!!!
I just love crafting with you. This is a wonderful idea.
Love your altered book already. I borrowed an idea from another crafter to keep the metal teeth strip of the foil or plastic wrap box. Keep it attached to the cardboard strip it's glued to. When you tear paper with it you get that lovely serrated look. It is easier to hold flat compared with a ruler.
Oh my gosh, what a great idea!! Thanks for sharing it! ❤️
Hi Gayle 🖐🏻🖐🏻 I know this video is old one but I’m laughing so hard when you are counting these book pages and said “ my brain is hurting “ because I was counting pages with you and my brain was hurting too !,, oh you makes my day better/ great everyday!, keep up your good work!! 😂😂😂❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Gayle, Lov'in this altered book so far. Can't wait to see more!
So many good ideas
Great video, now I get the idea, lots of them actually 😁😁
WOW so many great projects to try! Now all I need is a whole lot more time! 🤗
Thanks for another video and start of another project. I went to our local library and they gave me a dozen hardcover books in Japanese that they did not need. One of the books, the pages are very old and when I folded a page, it almost ripped in half, so I will be treasuring this book, but I will use pages from the other books, in some of my junk journals. Thanks again!
I love altering books and making junk journals, I am learning so much from you and getting great inspiration. Thank you for always sharing! God bless!
Oh brother. Another new craft idea I have to try. Gayle, you are such an enabler 🤑
WOW, Gayle. I love the way you have put together odd bits and pieces and created a masterful collage page. I love it.
Hi Gayle...I think it’s fabulous...can’t wait to see what comes next!! 🌸
As always this project will be gorgeous!
I absolutely love to watch and listen to your videos...thank u for brightening my day
I work on a glass desk and I found out it makes certain craft tools slide out of place. I make sure I use my mat or tape brown craft paper on it. Great tutorial on altering an old book. On my to do list. I came across old typing paper from back in the day at my mom’s house, apparently my dad had bought it for my sisters and I when we had typing homework back in the early 70’s, it’s almost like tracing paper, very light and I was able to print on it using my printer. The paper also aged over the years, so happy to see that. My dad was a crafter himself, found some hidden goodies that I could use in Junk Journals. Would you gesso lightly over the words in the book and then collage over it, kinda do a mix media page in the book? It’s such a pleasure watching your videos. TY 😎
Yes, gessoing the pages would be cool! You’d probably have to be careful not to use too much and buckle the pages though. ❤️
Nice little pocket 🌸
This is so much fun to alter books. Thanks for sharing😍🌴
How fun is this???? I had a basic idea of what an altered book was and no desire whatsoever to make one until I watched this video, and now I’ve been digging through my stash trying to find a book I can alter!!! I can’t wait to see what else you do with yours!!!
Once again Gayle, thank you for all the ideas for another awesome book. 💖
Absolutely love!! Can’t wait to see you play in this some more. 💕💕💕
These first pages turned out lovely and looking forward to seeing how the rest of the book developed. Can't wait to try this on the book I got. Hope you are having a very restful and enjoyable retreat, Gayle. It's been good to watch some of these videos I haven't seen before while you have been gone.
God Bless. Sue
Loved this layout! Can't wait for the rest.
I have two of these books so yes I’ll be saving this video
Hi Gayle, can't wait for the next pages and love your little travelers notebook to put all of your stamps and labels.Greetings Joos XX
What a great idea. A collage book. Love it as I love to collage. Going to do this. I have a book I just altered too. Thanks for the great inspiration and you had me laughing and pointing things out like “no put it there”. Enjoying this video.
You always come up with something new and interesting! Thanks for sharing
Now that was fun. I need a altered book. Thanks Gayle. I enjoyed watching this. 💕
I loved watching you doing this altered book. I can't wait to see part 2 so I'm going to look for that now. I am learning a lot so thank you! 😊
Love collaging with you! TFS, Gayle!
I used the cutter edge (including the paper it is attached to) off a wax paper box and glued it to the edge of a ruler. It tears wonderfully!!!
Edges and focal points 😉😉 Haha You made me laugh out loud at the intersection. So fun!
I am watching these in reverse order. Just call me backward! Lol but this is as interesting as it is tedious. Maybe I just like listening to you. I am doing junk journals. I think the best will be my sons. Pics from his mission will fill the pockets and tucks. I like your projects. Learning loads!
Beautiful! Enjoyed watching you collage!
I love it!
I,m new in begining this form for art , but now i have startet beging with a altered book . I,m looking forward to start
dekopage it :) I look at your wideos a lot, and learn so much to see you :)
I have been watching too many of your videos. I knew you were looking for ink. lol I was thinking she needs to distress. I am hooked on Inking also. I like the definition. I am going to try to alter a book after watching this.
Just found myself a hard back book too ready to have a go. I love listening to you laughing makes me laugh too. Xx
This was so fun to watch! I want to drag my stuff out and work on my journal! Thank you very much for sharing!!
That was fun...been wanting to see how altered books go together, especially with collage!
I think I will try this. Thanks for the videos. I enjoyed you and your beautiful journal in progress. On to part 2!💜
Gayle I tune into you first thing in the very early morning and you truly make my day begin with a smile. You are my favourite artist and I am always inspired to do some crafting after watching you and listening to your cheerful voice. Thanks so much 💫
Thank you so much, Georgie! ❤️
I had no idea which direction you were headed here. There are so many versions of book altering, but I am pretty sure this one is my fav. The pages have such a sense of random order, if that is even a thing. You are so good about always adding the small things that tie the pages together.
Go ahead and ink away, my friend. If you are happy, we are happy!
I love that you’ve been watching older videos, Jean! With over 800 out there, I’ve covered all most every subject (at least the ones I get questions about). But always more new things to do than I have hours in the day! I want to make a Christmas book like this one! ❤️
Loving it so far, simply beautiful.
Looking good. Love how you amuse yourself .
Inking makes ALL the difference! Thanks for sharing.
Wow Gayle this is amazing!! I'm so thrilled to see how beautifully your pages turned out. Thankyou so much for the mention, that's so kind of you! it makes me so so happy to see the little robin in your book! Thankyou for your kind words. Much love to you. ❤️😊
Love and hugs darling Ayozie! I love the prints from you! Xoxo ❤️
I love your voice and your videos 😊
