Gaby you are never alone as long as you can meet up with us on the internet. I love watching Gayle too. It is fun watching her work thru projects.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, Gaby, for introducing yourself and for being one of my KZbin crafting buddies! Sending big hugs to you all the way in Argentina! ❤

Watching with you, Gaby!

I love working with packaging. I take the plastic, bubble wrap type and cut into 2 pieces. Then I slide each piece into a paper mailing envelope (inexpensive when bought at the dollar stores if you don't have any to recycle) seal it, fold in half and tada! A squishy journal cover with easy to glue on base. Works well with fabric or paper. TFS Hope you have a great day. 🌞

[@katrina7259]

No matter what, you always do so much more in an hour than I do. I end up staring off into space trying to figure out what to do next. 😊

[@candycolopy5295]

I have made so many collage covers with Amazon packaging because of you. I save every brown envelope that comes from Amazon lol. Collage was always so intimidating before but you inspired me so much and now I love it so much. So thank you Gayle for the inspiration!

[@lightbulbnirvana]

I am always surprised when I hear my name during your Hi & Hugs! Thanks for your gratitude for my gratitude Gayle! I have so much fun washi you in action! I mean watching you in action! Can't wait to hear more stories!!! The covers turned out great! Cheers ❤

[@visualisednz]

I am so looking forward to seeing you make a bug journal. That fabric is a perfect cover. Working your charm to turn creepy crawlies into something beautiful has to be high on the watch list! 😊 I stayed at my Mum's most of this week and played her the Etsy share you did for me. She was quite tickled with it. ❤ Belinda xxx

[@LesliesCreativeStudio]

Oh my friend how I have missed you!! I am just getting into the swing of being on summer break and already planning for my last and final year of teaching, 30 years under my belt!! I LOVE using Amazon packaging for inside my covers!! It's the best!! I am putting together a quick prayer journal for a friend of my mom's and just used batting, it's just not the same!! Looking forward to many late nights of crafting along!! Always, Leslie

[@RoxanneBurnie]

Have a friend with the same personality and she keeps us “old” girls moving. We are high school friends (53 years😳, some from kindergarten). You’re both a blessing! Thanks 🥰

[@debspaperandscissors]

Oh, Gayle, I must agree with you. I love to collage and while I enjoy everything my least favorite would have to be binding. My hubby would say finishing is my least favorite thing. I have a plethora of soon to be finished journals.

[@SixteenThirtyFive]

After reading the comments here, all I can say is…yes! Wow! We all feel the same way about you! Whenever your video starts playing, and you say, “Hi, it’s Gayle!” It always brightens up my day! I have to smile and say Hey Gayle! This video was so helpful! Covers intimidate the heck out of me! But I’m going to get some going this afternoon! Thank you!

[@debbiev.1311]

You're the "Queen of Journal Covers"!! 👸🏼❤🦋🌸🪲

[@donitamoore9748]

Love the crinkly sound of those Amazon covers. The flowers with butterflies turned out so pretty. The bug fabric is really neat. Can’t wait to see you do that journal. Have a blessed day!

[@WoodlandInspired]

Good Morning Gayle🤗 Awesome collaging and love the crinkle sound of the amazon packaging. Hope you have a fabulous day, hugs! 💕

[@donadeam2313]

I like the crunchy paper Amazon envelopes. I was concerned when they changed from the plastic bubble ones, but the crunch is nice. I like bugs in art. I’ve alway loved the old master’s paintings of florals arrangements with a bug crawling on the leaf or flower.

[@debbievanmeter-jerseygirl374]

Love using Amazon packaging in my covers, thanks to you. You are so inspiring!! Thank you for being you and all your videos!! ❤😍

[@patbrez3079]

Good Afternoon Gayle! Love using Amazon packages for covers, I also insert the bubble ones into the 9 x 12 envelopes and seal up. Love the material and collage too. Have a wonderful crafting Tuesday. 👍🌸🌸🌸

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Good afternoon Pat! ❤

[@billiejoethomason6075]

I always enjoy your cover making videos. Love to collage. The cloth bug cover will be the crunchy, fun cover.

[@JannyHaak]

So much fun, Gayle! LOVE that cover!! 🦋❤

[@Moonlitmusingjournal]

Hi Gayle, Thank you for teaching and showing us how to use the ccx envelop techniques!!!! I just luv this way of making covers. I has become my favorite type of cover. Luv & Peace, Charito XO

[@beckydexter8843]

Hi, my friend in Montana, as always love your videos. You kept me going whilst I was grieving for my mum and I've finally got my mojo back. It's only taken me two year!! I find your videos so inspiring, definitely going to try the Momagarmy or however you spell it paper. Off to the pound store tomorrow!! Hugs Becky in the UK. X

[@amyrugala246]

Good Morning Gayle, yes you’ve been talking about the Bug Journal for quite a while. I know it’s outside your comfort zone. Bugs aren’t your favorite 😂 Proud of you going for it! Have a beautiful day my friend ❤️💕❤️

Always, my friend! Thank YOU for your wonderful digitals to work with! ❤

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Gayle, I was so bummed that I never got the brown Amazon packaging and finally got one last week. Will eventually be used as a collage cover, thanks to watching you create yours.💙

[@heathertimmons]

I've saved every paper Amazon mailer I've received over the past year. I was able to make three covers from one large one. I decoupaged them with book pages and napkins. I love how they turned out, but I lost the crunchyness. I love the fabric ideas.

[@dianedoherty6713]

Gayle, I made one piece of the mommagomi paper yesterday, LOVE it! Under a fast approaching deadline for a gift journal, will be scheduling a mommagomi day real soon!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@janinewoodhull3611]

I like the crinkle under the fabric, too. This may have convinced me to use fabric rather than collaging on mine. 😉 I wonder if I covered it with one large paper and glued that down to it if that would cause "crinkle loss", too. 🤔

[@joannedonovan9489]

I really enjoy when you make covers & collaging! I'm still working on my first "real" journal, but I'm itching to make more!

[@Tashianne]

You are a great inspiration Gayle. Thank you for all your hard work and for all the laughs. Your works are absolutely amazing. I love to watch you work and watch your process. ❤

[@cherylhelton4378]

Good morning. I tried the Mommagami yesterday. Loved it. It can be quite addicting!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Cheryl! It is, isn’t it? So fun! ❤

[@happymailmagic]

I literally hot a brown Amazon package just a few hours ago!!! When I saw this 2-Part Video; I just had to watch it! Guess I know what I'll be doing after Dinner tonight! LOL!

[@luley8254]

How did I not see this video a month ago!? I love this! I always click on your videos as soon as the notification comes up! Somehow I missed this, and have been making covers from the Amazon envelopes, but see that I have been doing them wrong!😳

[@Graasland]

LOL yes, keep us in suspense about what your least fave part of journal making is 0.o 😂

[@karenferguson7662]

that's such a great idea. I have some envelopes from Amazon, but an even bigger one from H&M which has similar bags. Now I have something to attempt myself ...🥀🌹🌷

[@carolpowerslavenderdreamsc1599]

Good morning Gayle!! Collaged cover turned out so pretty. Bugs and I don't get along...😂 My least favorite part of journal making is also the binding. My favorite part is all the rest of the process. Although I still have a hard time knowing when to stop decorating!! 🤣 Love watching you collage, so relaxing. Have an awesome day...💜

[@debhat]

Morning Gayle! Quite by coincidence, I received two large Amazon envelopes in the past few days. Also found one more in my stash, and I too have an embarassing amount of digitals, so guess what? Making covers this week! Love how yours turned out, but that's not a surprise. 😊 Thanks so much, as always, for the inspiration and for letting us look over your shoulder! Cheers from Denver CO!

[@nancymoore1275]

Love watching you make covers. Would love to see one of the covers with all the little bits of fabric and lace although I guess I could go back and rewatch the older video 🤔🤪

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’ve been collecting bits for another video on those covers. Coming soon! ❤

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

Morning sis! Up with a migraine watching your video. Have a blessed day! Love you!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh no! So sorry sis! Love you! ❤

[@LynsAlteredArts]

My least favorite part is making the covers, I never know exactly what to do. My favorite part is picking the papers for the pages and making some of the pages digitally if I don’t have any digital‘s. Right now I’m working on a camera/photography journal and I have no digital‘s in that theme so I’ve been making things which really takes a lot of time but I enjoy that part. One of these days I’m going to make a journal like you do, I’m going to pick a digital and make it all out of that digital, I don’t think I’ve ever done that. I just usually use a little bit from this digital, a little from that one, a little from this one, and mix them all up. I think when I finish this one I’m going to do a more girly feminine one which is not me but I don’t hate. I have some dollhouse wallpaper for the cover so it really sounds like I need a digital from Ruby and Pearl XO or Chapter One, or Taylormade Journals. I need to finish this one before I think about the next one.

[@tamraandrews7653]

As always love your covers!! I got one of these envelopes the other day, smaller than yours. I actually made a cover with half of it already. Love the way it feels! I don't have a bunch of pretty digitals, so I just collaged random papers, mostly drop paper to mine. Plus some bits of fabric. I forgot about adding corners. I think I have some; I may actually use them.
