How YUMMY! That is just awesome looking! That hour whizzed by too fast...fiddles! ❤️🥰

[@claudiafortimelesscrochet4u]

What a beautiful kit, I bet the papers feel so good to the touch, they look so smooth. It just amazes me how fast you can build a journal, years of experience and a true talent; it never gets old no matter how many times I saw you doing it. It is so inspiring and satisfying! xxooxx

[@chaselip]

This is such a beautiful notebook, I just love the Blue Fern Studios paper. I have never seen a collection from then that I didn’t just love, especially Pasages😻

[@freidagepner2370]

What a wonderful travelers notebook. I think it’s going to be real cute when it’s all done. I think everyone is wishing to travel and be free down the road. Let’s hope it’s soon! Best wishes to you my friend.

[@yagottasingwithsusan]

Love that paper. Every time you make a blue fern journal I send for the paper, but I just can’t. It’s something I just look at, love on, and put it away lol. It’s beautiful 💕

[@helensalo9810]

I’m chuckling when something doesn’t go straight I also blame the paper. 😂😂”maybe the paper is crooked” ha ha 😂

[@tyna2154]

Just want you to know how much you inspire others. When i have nothing left to give you always make me feel like i can do just a little be more on a project or my craft room. You give all of us so much, I hope you know how much you are appreciated every day. Hugs always.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Tyna! ❤️

[@JanetDoucette]

Another beautiful creation! The Passages Collection is a dream!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@lalagamma4452]

How exciting a new start!!! TFS bringing us along the way. 🍂🍁🧡🦋🤗🐿️

The beginning of a journal is so fun! Can't wait to watch its progress.

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

Love Blue Fern paper! What a great travelers notebook that will make for you! How fun! It’s going to be a good one! 💖🤗💖

[@robinpowell2712]

You explain things so well. It's so helpful. I never found hot air balloons pretty, but the Blue Fern paper makes hot air balloons really beautiful!

[@kayleenvoelker879]

I love watching you craft...you make such beautiful pieces!!! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!!

[@WoodlandInspired]

I was glad to see you making a Travelers Notebook because the papers are so pretty. I can't believe all the embellishments they really thought of everything. Thanks for sharing and have a good week. Take care!

[@irenemueller3888]

That’s a beautiful travel journal!

[@annwoleben5439]

I am amazed at how much you accomplish in one video. It took me 6 days, 8 hours and 22 minutes to make a tag (just kidding, but close!). Won't it be great when we can actually plan for trip and actually take it? This is going to be another lovely journal.

[@PeacockPigment]

Same here! This would take me 6 months 😂

[@fernanton8370]

Good evening Gayle, love the cover . Beautiful 💚💞💚

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

It is an ever satisfying time I have watching you make creative journals with gorgeous papers. I’m becoming a pink convert! But teal, aqua, and turquoise has always been eye candy! xoxo, Rene, the naughty shopping enabler🦌💌❤️☕️❤️📚❤️🐇❤️🐝❤️🛍🛍🛍❤️🧳

[@bluemuf]

Gorgeous kit. The journal is going to lovely

[@deborahsmith5036]

Turning the corners with the needle on the left=neat corners. Wow, why have I not ever picked up on this before. I have always struggled with corners and at times hated the result feeling it spoils the whole piece. You have just made a huge difference to my work. Thank you so much. Such a little hint but such a big difference. 💕💕💕

[@georgiemcdougle9064]

This pages are just gorgeous.

Like the Blue Fern papers! You are fantastic!

[@barbaracheatham692]

Gayle, this is so pretty. I am making journals for the trips I have been on. This would be lovely for the Alaskan cruise and land tour my mother took me on. She wanted to take the trip and offered to take me and my sister. My sister didn’t get to go. Her daughter found out she was pregnant with identical twin boys. There were complications and my sister was afraid to be gone for two weeks. Mom and I had an amazing time.

[@cynthiahowell2381]

A fabulous start. It will be interesting to watch you make this for yourself.

Good morning Gayle!! I love this paper and the journal is beautiful. Started a travelers notebook yesterday. Thank you for the tip on cutting the middle page smaller!! Mine is sticking way out after building my signature. 💜

[@rowenaroberts813]

This collection is gorgeous. Looking great. 😻

[@robinryder990]

The Sinclair gas forms were sure a blast from the past! Do you remember the Sinclair gas stations with the dinosaurs? I bugged my folks to stop there whenever we needed a fill up just so I could collect the dinosaur figures LOL. Anyway, I wanted to say thanks for showing the measurements and talking about your process while making these- great information for those of us who are new to journal making. Rob

Love the journal, TFS! My husband made me a book cradle out of wood. I use it all the time, so no clipping pages together.

[@debbiev.1311]

Love the papers, love your process & love the journal so far!! Looks like you already got in your workout/exercise for the day w/ the needle & hemp cord...lol!! HUGS!! 💖

[@dorisramos9134]

Love, love this collection! That journal is beautiful and with the all the supply you have left, you can make a mini album for companion and can be a set. Like the journal to be a diary of a trip and the albun to have to photo of that trip.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

I love Blue Fern Studios papers. They are gorgeous.

so talented Ms. Gayle, this kit is so nice wow!! this might just need to make it to my must buy list. We enjoy watching your videos so much. Checking out your Patron too.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank so much, sweet friend! ❤️

[@Calicokate348]

So excited and have ordered everything bubbles had that went with. This will be perfect for my husband and my summer cross country trip from Florida to Oregon and then Alaskan cruise to celebrate retirement. Couldn’t find the ephemera packages nor could I open the blog. But I’m sure I’ll have plenty. Maybe I should make two, one for on the way out and one for on the way back. Beautiful!1

[@barbaracheatham692]

Kathy Cowell when my mother and I went on the Alaskan cruise and land tour I took over 1,000 pictures. The country is beautiful. You will have an amazing time. Make two travelers notebooks. You will need them. Safe travels and happy retirement.

[@catherinekeehn2773]

It boggles my mind why you don't give yourself at least a quarter inch spine, knowing you are adding so many pages. Love watching videos.

[@janerushton8263]

Can I ask a little favour? Would you keep my Mum, Dad & cousins in your thoughts? Last night we lost my Uncle, the last of my Mum's brothers and the last of my Dad's school friends. While he's been very ill my whole life and we expected him to be gone 3 years ago when he lost his wife, the end, when it came, was still unexpected and swift. Thank you for listening and letting me spill a bit. Love you all.

[@tannabella6071]

Be praying for your family!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Of course, Jane, you and your family are in my prayers. I’m so sorry for your loss. And it’s so hard to see our elders lose their contemporaries as they age. Thinking of you and praying for comfort for all in the days ahead. Sending love and hugs, Jane. 🙏🤗❤️

[@lucy7b]

Thank you

[@GwendolynsDabbledoosies]

Fun TN! Did you know that regular (printer) paper sizes are different here? Yours is a bit bigger I do believe 🙃 Have a terrific Tuesday ❤️

[@helensalo9810]

Large envelope seal it then cut off about two inches and glue the two inch piece to the front and you can have a tuck in pocket (use washi) you’d have the main pocket then a small one (from the cutoff) glued to the front. Does this make sense? Just a thought on how to use.

[@helensalo9810]

What’s your stitch length when you stitch paper, so as not to perforate it too much? I’ve never sewn on paper but anxious to try.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

When doing a straight stitch I do lengthen my stitch a bit. It’s a 5 on my sewing machine. I don’t know how that translates to others sewing machines??? ❤️

[@helensalo9810]

Gayle Agostinelli thanks I’ll try that.

[@margaretcomella3318]

Did someone already mention a thread waxer? In sewing notions.

[@peggyeaton8241]

Hi Gayle. I went to the Etsy for the papers but they don’t show the 8x8 papers. Are they available to us regular people 😆😆?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’d message Renee at LotaofBubbles4Me to ask about the 8 x 8 pack. 😁❤️

[@paymentdone8056]

When you put pages together to sew, I found large paper clips work great instead of clips.

[@nancysale188]

Hi Gayle, I'm really new to junk journals~and you are one of the best to learn from! Where can we buy the kit from Blue Fern Studios? Thank you~Nancy Sale

[@nancysale188]

It's me again, Gayle. I went to LotsofBubble.... and she doesn't have the full kit~like you have. What to do?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’m lucky to be sent all the products from the particular collection. If you can’t find all the pieces from Lots of Bubbles, I think you’ll need to search Etsy or Google to find the other parts and pieces. Blue Fern Studios has many retailers that sell their products. Lots of Bubbles is just my first go to shop. Hope that helps a little. ❤️
