Thanks for being here for week 5 of the 2022 Margarete Miller Collage Challenge! I'm showing all the journals and ephemera I created at my three day retreat! (They will be randomly listed on my Etsy shop, CinnamonT.) Thanks for watching! xoxo
Digital that I couldn't remember came from Far Mirage on Etsy and is called Where the Lily Pond. Pressed flower tags are from BookshopShelli on Etsy.

Now I understand the importance of making up as many tags and pockets as you can and squirreling them away! Whether or not you attend a retreat, having that stash is a very nice time saver when putting a journal together. Thank you, too, for steering us on to Ceri’s channel. It is so interesting to see two different interpretations from the exact same set of instructions ! I am in awe of the journals you were able to put together at your Retreat. Wowzer!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks Teresa! Yes, that ore- made ephemera is a huge time saver! ❤️

[@donitamoore8123]

I always enjoy your Margarete Miller challenge collages as they are wonderfully done. Wow, were you ever one busy gal at retreat. All of those journals are beautiful!! Have a blessed day!

[@donadeam2313]

I really like your collage book. The pages look like they are more fun to work with than blank pages. I love this weeks collage. Your journals are amazing. It’s fun to see how the pieces from different sources fit together.

[@bookshopshelli]

Gayle, Thank you so much for showing my pressed flower tags again. I've spent the evening listing all the ones I have made plus a custom listing for ordering a favorite color. I have to say that butterfly with the spoon antenna is the cutest thing I've ever seen! Lotsa hugs! 📚📚📚

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

So sorry, Shelli, that the name of your shop couldn’t come to mind while showing the books! 🥴. I absolutely love those tags! They are unique and gorgeous! Thanks for reminding me and others where they came from! Big hugs back, my friend! ❤️

[@nancynorris9822]

I had to laugh at your spoon antlers! It's frightening to know what kind of squirrels are running loose in your creative little head! Lol! 😄 🐿️ You are so much fun! Your journals are wonderful! TFS🤗

[@vintagestudio7175]

I love the journals! Please don't feel you have to remember everyone! That's too much pressure. You support so many shops and just showing our designs in your etsy shop shares is generous enough! Thank you for all you do!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, Jessi! It boggles an old brain sometimes! 😂❤️

[@fernanton8370]

Good evening Gayle, beautiful journals . It sounds like you had an amazing 3 days . There is nothing more interesting & fun than a weekend retreat . Blessings to you & your family. 💙💗💙

[@colleenmc8450]

I love the MM collage challenge that you created today. The spoons as the butterfly's antenna are pure genious! I am in awe at all the gorgeous journals you were able to make over 1 weekend.

[@gladysward6969]

Gayle, your journals are very lovely and jam-packed with goodies, ❤️ them all! Glad you had fun at your retreat and glad the ladies liked looking at the journals. Not too many outside our JJ crafting community have a clue as to what it’s all about or how much goes into completing one! TFS! Please stay well. 💕💕💕

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

Wow what an inspiration...and a huge accomplishment getting so many beautiful journals made! Your collage is gorgeous!

[@maryvaszi8742]

Love the scenery behind the frame on the collage. Very pretty.

[@chrisabq1702]

Such Beautiful creations

[@CynthiaH914]

All of your journals are so pretty. I love your idea of using the spoons for the butterfly's antennae. It is so cute and unexpected. Thanks for sharing your wonderful journals and the collage challenge.

[@thetapequeen5489]

I loved seeing all of the beautiful journals you made at the retreat, Gayle. Staggering the pages on the tall journal was a great idea. I learn so much from you. Thank you. I never miss a video here or on Patreon. I always give you a thumbs up, even if I don't comment.

[@nancyjoclark5006]

The journals are beautiful! I love seeing all the beautiful finished ephemera. Lots and lots of ideas! Thank you for the flip through.

[@samanthaphillips5102]

Hi Gayle! Your MM 2022 Collage Challenge page is awesome! I Love the whole page! WOW!! Holy Macaroni! Gayle, you must live in Journal Dreamland! Never, in a million years, would I think that anyone could finish that many journals during a weekend retreat! But then again, you are very good at doing what you do, so I really should not be surprised! Great job! Each one of the journals is beautiful and shows as all it's own art filled treasure. You did great Gayle!! I will be checking your Etsy shop, as will many others. The new owners will be thrilled with their newly purchased journals. TFS Happy Creating! Samantha

[@catherinelittle2118]

Thank you for sending us over to visit Ceri. He did a wonderful challenge that definitely showed his great admiration and respect for you, Gayle. Without a doubt he is such a true journalling friend. His stories are amazing and he has got to be the most fascinating person with the life he has lived. A true survivor and very talented artist. I subscribed to his channel in a flash. Thank you for recommending him.

[@barbinsouthernco7740]

Amazing! Love the spoon antenna. So whimsical.

[@JoyfulMakesandFinds]

Wow! What a beautiful journal share! Great artistry in each and every one of them. 6 journals done is amazing! Did your hands ache after doing all of that in a short time. I Love everyone of them. The collage turned out great. I love how you used a frame to show the page beneath. Wonderful❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yep! The hands are feelin’ it! 😂. I’m having so much fun using my Frieda book for the challenge! I’m more excited to see what page it’s going on than the prompts! 🤣❤️

Hello Gayle...6 more weeks of winter...P. Phil decided today 🦫 I'm sure glad about your RR paper. Did you ever find out about your Levi Leather, vegan leather, Kraftex?? I watched an old video and enjoyed it and thought I would tell ya! Reader's Digest journal covers. I am still setting up my basement for crafting but I can now watch your videos on my computer and craft table. I've been printing out digitals too. Hoping to start insulating down here soon. Then put up the ship lap. My 3 grandsons and new grandson and grandaughter are all helping out. We're going to DIY it. My daughter will be helping me design it! Keeping busy, and enjoying all your videos! Wish I could have got to go to your retreat. ❤

Love the angry bluebird stamp. He popped up a couple of times in your journals

Gayle, that is one of my favorite collages you have done. It is fanciful and really went together well. Job well done!!!

[@thecrafteaneighbor5177]

Really beautiful journals, Gayle! You sure got a bunch done at your retreat. I'm always amazed at how fast you can do several journals at a time. Well, I might be spending more time with you soon. I went to see a Senior Othopedic specialist yesterday (Wed). The news is surgery. He said the sooner the better. So, in the next month or so it needs to happen. This will be to correct Cervical Stenosis on my spine. So, I'll be home for awhile after that. Not sure how things will be during the initial recuperation time of around 6 weeks or more, but planning to craft along with you, possibly catching up on all those videos I missed during the Fall months. I just watched you on the 49dragons podcast from Nov. It was really awesome to see you! What a great idea to do that. I really enjoyed it! Well, hope you have a great tomorrow! God bless! Sue

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh gosh, Sue, I’ll be praying for a successful surgery and quick and complete recovery. 🙏. Take good care, my sweet friend! ❤️

Ceri’s video was fantastic, I knew about the cake decorating and judging and TV shows but I didn’t know he’d been a performer, a dancer. I asked him if he would haul out a video and put it on his KZbin, that we’d all love to see him dance. The spread he did with the stuff you sent him was fantastic, that’s an actual art journal page or art therapy because he put his whole life on those two pages.

[@beverlynielsen6714]

[@cynthiabuck9517]

Wow! - amazing journals - Hugs.

[@catherinelittle2118]

Oh Gayle you had so much fun at your retreat. You did well to get so much done. The standing joke with a lot of retreats is that hardly anything gets done with so much talking going on. At least that is what the cross stitchers laugh about. I guess you proved them wrong since you got 6 journals be done and probably still managed to get lots of talking in. Your journals are beautiful. I bet the quilting ladies had an eyeful especially with the Holden fabric. Well done Gayle.
