[@pamfrank3962]

Another beautifully done journal cover. Choice of color and material genius 👌 😍 👏

[@tuthillg]

Oh, Gayle, that Boho snippet is luscious! Gorgeous! The journal cover is really pretty and the fabrics you chose for the inside cover and pocket fit perfectly! TFS, Gayle!

[@gionun8950]

Love the cover & glad you decided to not add the picture. The fabric is gorgeous on its' own. Hope you continue this as a series. Tfs

[@Erintube360]

This cover "we" just made is GORGEOUS! More "Craft With Me" videos would be welcome along Boholand creations...

[@katinawilliams6052]

That Boho snippet is amazing!!! I want one 😊

[@smalefamily9806]

Wow the material of the cover is beautiful and the snippet looks delicious.

[@robinmagargle8116]

Awesome cover. I was watching so intently I was turning my phone like I was sewing along. Lol I think I need to take a nap. Ty Gail for showing that

[@lizthejournalmagpie]

I went a subtle shade of green when you opened that box, I am now going to dream of colour and beauty. Love Boho, love that cover, scrumptious. Take care xx

[@DebbyLong777]

Ooooh ! I love this so much. I enjoy the process as you move from one step to another.

[@AmourFabriQues]

Oh what joy it is to see the items I have sent ya...made into a journal...I am so thrilled and thankful!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’m having a ball going over the top boho!! You’re the best, Salena! Hugs! 😘❤️

[@maggiequilts]

I just love the sound of the paper crackling ❤️and the scissors cutting! ❤️

[@DarlaW]

Oh my goodness! We were thinking alike today! Love the purple for the interior and the pocket. I also like it both ways - with picture and without. I think you'll figure it out as you go along. Can't wait to see the next installment!

[@craftysenora1840]

I can hardly wait to see the next steps for this journal.....beautiful fabric!

[@anne7441]

Hi Gayle - always love your videos and thank you so much for sharing your projects with us. They are always lovely and I love the way you laugh at yourself sometimes! You are a doll!

[@ladyb7699]

Love the cover as is and the beads as the closure. Thanks for letting us craft with you!

[@jessjtadesigns]

Yes, I used to work for a jewelry designer, and I'd use' bead fix' on back side of that piece. It'll hold it in place. You can cut it afterwards. Also there's a bead matting fabric that you can seal back with. Love your ideas! Will enjoy watching!! Thanks🌻

[@LadyLeda2]

It is going to be a lovely journal with all that yummy fabric and Mrs. Cog's pictures!!!

[@FlamingoFan1]

Your boho snippet is awesome! Thanks for letting us come along on your adventures. You are the best.

Hi Ms.Gayle!!! I really like the material your using. It's so pretty. The purple inter fabric is so pretty. It really brings out the purple stripe in the front of your cover. Looking forward to craft with me's! Also the snippet!!! Wow that is so pretty!!! See you tomorrow!!! (on KZbin) Hugs my friend!~Liz~

[@artzology]

[@marykeaton9373]

Hi, Gayle - I always enjoy your tutorials; just like visiting a good friend and watching her craft! Listening to your thought processes as you go are every bit as helpful as watching what you do. Thanks so much for the time and effort in doing the videos and for sharing your art with us.

[@juneribbons5196]

On the beaded piece I'd Fabra Tack it at the length and just after the length you want before you cut it. Leave room between the edges for whatever cutters you choose. I'd use old scissors as cutting through beaded fabric dulls them. You are bound to break.some beads as you cut them. I love the double stitched edge. It looks so natural that way !!

[@RhomanysRealm]

You could add elastic to the bead trim and make it a belly band for the cover, or even the whole book. Easy enough to cover the elastic with fabric so it matches.

[@carolynnixon7095]

Those fabrics are so gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing more.

[@sallyanneoconnell5233]

Love your ideas❤️ and by the way your journal has hit American soil. Hugs from your Aussie friend ❤️

[@dianezacharek751]

Hi Gayle, I'm thrilled you are starting a Boho journal! I've just started junk journaling and I am working on a Boho journal now! You could make a belly band with that beaded piece and extend the end out as a tab and glue it around to the back of the page. I love ALL your work and so enjoy your videos!

[@gloriaadams8776]

Love these fabrics and trims. I am anxiously looking forward to what you do with them. Thank you fpr sharing with us.

[@donnapusti7859]

Ohhhh all that gorgeous purple!! It's my favorite and I'm excited you decided to go with it. Plus boho? I'll just be drooling all through this one. Lol. I know it'll be amazing when it's done, too.

[@charlean_sherrod]

This is really going to be a fun craft with me series, I love Boho, and I learned how to make a fabric cover, win win. I’m going camping for a week, and will come home to watch your videos of this super fun and beautiful journal.

[@creativemomentswithdurinda]

Omg I love the cover and the purple with gold on the inside..just stunning. Im doing boho next too..so it was nice to see you starting yours. Although you make everything look so easy. I hope you're going to take us along with each step. Tfs💜💜

[@danaclark8077]

This is gonna be so pretty. I'm super excited.

[@RustyBellyDance]

Hi Gayle, absolutely love your fabric snippets! A quick question...what did you print your Digikits on, plain white cardstock or a matt photo paper?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Jacqui, I print on 32# matte photo paper from Red River Paper Co. Online. ❤️

[@marthastrickland7148]

Hi, look forward to seeing your process. On the beaded strip....you mentioned using the fabric glue quickly after cutting it. I wonder if you used the glue at the spot you will cut, let it dry well and then cut it if maybe the piece you are using wouldn’t lose any beads. ( The remnant probably will). Just a thought. 😊

[@mrsgigi8363]

I had never heard of boho before I started do JJ. At least that it’s called BOHO and wow I love all the fabric and thing. Going to be fun to follow this CWM.

[@annkathy257]

Beautiful cover! It is going to be a great BoHo journal! 💕

[@marcellakramer7118]

Hi Gayle, I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel!!! I watched your entire Christmas journal series and found it so inspiring! I love how you go through the steps of creating the journal/photo album, I hope to create one for each of my daughters and any future grand children whenever that happens! Lol I binge watched those 10 episodes last night and today. You have finally helped me to decide what I'm going to do with all my crafting supplies, I'd been debating and trying to decide for the longest time what I wanted to devote my time to and create and my mind was constantly going from one thing to another! I played around w/ undated planners but wanted it to be used for something more, as you know people rarely stick w/ daily planning. So Christmas journals will be on my list to start and I would like to do a boho journal for my youngest daughter as she is getting married May 2019, and her theme is Boho Chic... hoping this video of yours helps my thought process! Thank you so much for sharing your talents, sorry this comment was so long!! You are so blessed and have an awesome personality... will watch you always now. A new subscriber, Marcella K

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Aw, Marcella, thank you for the kind comment!! Welcome to my channel!! I'm so glad you're here! I had so much fun with that Christmas journal and you will too! This boho one has been fun in a whole different way!! That's what I love about journal making! ❤️

[@marcellakramer7118]

I hope my creative endeavors blossom as I get back into my crafting. I spent over 20 yrs just doing scrapbooks and don't own one of them, they were all gifts, or given to graduating seniors of our school every year for all sports throughout the entire year. I would like to do one themed "All About Me", between the journals that I have a long list to make, Lol. Wish me luck, I know as I made the scrapbooks before, the more I made the more ideas I came up with. Keeping my fingers crossed!

[@jensjunk5688]

Yay! This is gonna be fun! I’ve been working here and there on my kits from Jessica @ I’m a cool mom and it’ll be fun to work along!

Hi Gayle-thank you so much for doing a boho journal. Bit nerve wracking with the sewing though. I was holding my breath and sewing right along with you!

[@MissDaisyParsley]

Gorgeous cover!

[@teristewart4120]

Hi Gayle. I’ve recently discovered your videos and love watching them. Finding a new Christmas journal video everyday was great. I’m excited to watch the BOHO journal videos also. I was thinking that, for the beaded piece, maybe you could decide where you want to cut it, reinforce either side of that spot with needle and thread and carefully snip the original thread.

[@beadsboutique]

Hi Gayle, I'm a beader. (don't use glue....) You'd need to figure out what stitch was used, weave a new thread in where you want to shorten it, following the thread path. Reinforce that area well. Snip below it. I'm happy to help you with this, if you want to send it my way. Wouldn't take long, but I'd need to know how long you'd like your pieces. It would also be a good idea to send along the spare beads in case... :D -Amy

[@beadsboutique]

Actually....It might be faster for me to just make a new one for you and send it. Ideas on how long, wide, and colors?

[@maggiequilts]

Im excited to see this one unfold Gayle ❤️ i will do this one sometime, but for now i am collecting for a music journal, my daughter is a classic guitarist and pianist, she teaches in both fields,I think she would love that! ❤️ Thanks for sharing your talent. You are an inspiration. 😍❤️😍

[@AFREEME22]

I’m screaming ‘Add a tassel to the end of the snippet to make it longer for the closure. Also that beaded piece might be cool on the cover!’ I hope you heard me.

[@raedavis1697]

Hi Gayle, my next journal is going to be a boho one. Are you going to do a series on this one ? That would be really great, I could craft along with you. I'm still pretty new to junk journaling and it would be great to see how you make your boho journal. Thank you for all you fabulous tutorials, and I can hear everything you say. Lots of love Rae xxx

[@gailstubbings8606]

Hey Gayle, beautiful journal cover love all the fabrics and i was shaking my head at the pictures of Mrs cogs too, they just didn't seem to fit and there beautiful digis. Also where it came to that beaded piece you wanted to use as a belly band i would glue it too a stabilizer then glue it on the outside where you are going to cut. If done correctly you shouldn't loose beads hun. Hope this helps. Xx

[@juneholbrook9452]

Gail Stubbings I was thinking the same thing about cutting the beaded trim. I use tacky glue since it dries clear and immediately starts holding the beads on. I used beaded scarves that I cut apart in my boho journal. They were so much fun to use.

[@gailstubbings8606]

@@juneholbrook9452 glad we thought similar i can't wait to see if Gayle decides to use the piece i hope so ad it looks gorgeous xx

Beautiful! I would just wrap the beaded strip around the bottom of the page on the other side and attach it to a pocket or something, but I would be afraid to cut it too. Thanks for sharing! God bless, Kim

Love watching you videos. I always wonder what they would cost, but do not see an Etsy or website where you might sell things. Could you perhaps let us know the price of those lovely things you create?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hello Gayle, when you make your fabric covers with the mailing folder, how many signatures do you sew in. Looks like we could only do one signature. Thank you. P.s., love your videos. You have gotten me hooked on junk journals, but just starting out. Linda

[@jeanthobaben]

Love your process. Do you make a bin for each project?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

[@QueenMabelandDoris]

I’d love to see some of that red fabric in there somewhere, great start though xxx💕

[@theramblincrafter]

This is so fun, Gayle! I've been thinking about that beaded piece, what if you put it Horizontally on a page so that you don't have to cut it, to make two seperate belly bands? If you put it just above or below the center, you could miss it when you sew in the signatures? I personally would be afraid to cut it, I used to do beading and I'd worry about it falling apart...I love all those bright colors you're using, can't wait to see how this one turns out! Hugs ~~ Chelle

[@roylenekornovich3267]

Perhaps you could attach a piece of ribbon to each end of the beaded band and use it as a wrap closure. I'm sure, as you said, it will come apart if you cut it.
