Forgotten Friends Friday! - Rolls & Rolls of Art Paper!

[@belindaosgood]

I love seeing your forgotten friends. Your stash just keeps on giving joy, ideas, and inspiration. Was a pleasure to visit with you and your "friends" ☺ for an hour.

[@stephaniewyeth3920]

I love, love, love "Forgotten Friends Friday" espisodes! Keep them coming!

[@kathmcmillen3217]

I'm always in awe of how many things you do when you shop in your own stash. Loved everything you made. Hugs.....

[@margaretashton2548]

I'm fairly new to JJ so love all the creative ideas you come up with using rolled up forgotten papers. You are a delight to watch. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with us. Blessings.

[@thetapequeen5489]

That was fun! Using your quilting ruler for large sheets of paper is a terrific idea. I need to remember that. I hope all has gone smoothly with your retreat. Hugs, Shell

This video just randomly popped up on my recommended and I put it on in the background while I was sewing in some ends on a crochet project. I *love* (and desperately need!) the idea of forgotten friends Friday. What a lovely concept.

[@catherinedeseton964]

those gift wraps look like great quality paper .... the way things used to be!

Hi Gayle! Been a bit busy lately, but have been watching much of what you've posted. I've tried to write, but get interrupted by either my hubby or a task. Hopefully, I'll get to post this. 😆 I like how you're going through papers and doing pre-preps for journals. I especially like seeing the Williamsburg paper. It brings back memories of when I lived and taught high school in VA. That was from 2005-2012. I was a single lady then...was for about 10 years...a lonely time, but I filled my time with photography. Which also helped me do a lot of self reflection. So, a growing time emotionally. I was also blessed that my daughter and her new family lived a half hour away and they would visit or me them. But still, the alone times could be tough sometime. But then I became a member of an online photography forum Through that I met a group of delightful ladies who lived in the Williamsburg area. We met up one day at a gardens in Richmond for a day of photographing together. What fun we had! After that, one of the ladies would on occasion invite me to spend a few days with her at her home. Then, we would get together with the the rest of the ladies and go all over the many places, mostly historical, in the Williamsburg area. Our most fun time was before Christmas. Williamsburg decorates the colonial town up pretty nicely for that event. They are especially well known for their beautiful natural wreathes on all of the buildings. Some are quite unique and fun to photograph. Our group would have a blast! Those ladies were so kind to me. It really helped me get through those years when I ran solo in life. I still miss them and our get togethers. The chicken paper reminds me of my daughter. For years she wanted backyard chickens. They finally moved to a place where she could have them. Then, after many dozens of produced eggs, she discovered she was allergic to eggs. She was not happy about that as she loves her chickens. So funny...yesterday, my hubby and I were driving and he suddenly asked me if I could choose where I'd want to be right at that moment. I said Newfoundland to visit my family there. And he said he wanted to be in Helena MT. We still want to live there, if only for the summer months.We keep hoping real estate prices will go down and maybe we'd get a piece of land to put a few RV sites on. For us and family. I don't think we could live full time there due to my spine issues now. But summers might be feasible. Who knows, we keep looking. I hope your day is going well so far. God bless you and Mr. A! BIG hug! Sue ❤

[@debbievanmeter-jerseygirl374]

Such fun colors!! They will be great additions to the elephant journal!! ❤😍

[@loripadilla669]

So much fun with all that pretty paper. Thanks Gayle.

[@CraftyBeginnings]

Love the forgotten friends today. Those papers are awesome. I love the farm one you made journal pages from and the butterfly paper. Great video Mrs. Gayle. TFS and crafty hugs.

[@CynthiaH914]

I love all the pieces you made with your wallpaper stash. So much fun. Thank you for sharing another great Forgotten Friends Friday.

[@freidagepner2370]

What a beautiful find! I love all that paper. Now I will check gift shops to find beautiful papers. What fun you had being able to go thru those rocks and find such pretty things. ❤️

[@amyrugala246]

Good morning Gayle, Beautiful paper. What treasures!!!! 💕

[@TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

"...from my crate across the room..." lol Hilarious--funny how things "way over there" may as well be on another continent for all we remember to use them 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Gayle, every time I see one of your FFF videos, my Saturday is looking for some thing I haven't used or seen in a very long time. TFS

[@debbiev.1311]

Such a FUN Forgotten Friends Friday!! Lovely rolled papers...I will be getting the butterfly one to frame & put in my craftroom!! 💙🦋 Hope your retreat has been beyond amazing!!! ❤🤗🙏🏻

[@TheMell1515]

Oh Gayle!… that roll of papers!!!! I can imagine if I found it in my stash! “Omg I can’t wait to play with these!!” *rolls back up to keep in stash forever* 😂😂😂 Beautiful!!

[@beverlynielsen6714]

Good morning Gayle. Lots of fun papers. Love and hugs.

[@robinmentzer7974]

Another fun find for forgotten friends friday. Wonderful papers.

[@artzology]

I used to have books and books of old wallpaper but when we moved we donated them to goodwill. You definitely have some beautiful pages and tags! 😘

[@carolpowerslavenderdreamsc1599]

Good morning Gayle!! So fun to see all your beautiful papers and wallpapers. Found a pack of wallpaper samples at an antique store in Hamilton MT last week. Wanted to get it, but didn't think $75 for 20 sheets was a good bargain!! 🤣 Thanks for all the inspiration today. Have an awesome day...💜

[@2281CozyBrickCape]

It was great crafting with you, Gayle! My favorite paper is the butterflies. So pretty!

[@nancivessells1909]

WOW you got a lot done today. Fun watching you create. TFS

[@CoriDahmen]

🐔butt! Saw that and laughed loudly. My middle school by sure emerged at the site of that pocket! Maybe not forgotten friends, but new friends need love and attention too. I adore you my sweet friend and I'm certain you're all enjoying a marvelous retreat. Be well, be safe and have soooo much fun!

[@vanessarussell7997]

Some great ideas. Have a wonderful and blessed day.

[@JuanettesCraftingCorner]

Thanks so much Gayle for the inspiration on the "pile" of wall paper I have in my craft room. LOL

[@joanfriant211]

You found some awesome old friends today!

[@millieg.5497]

Hi Gayle! Have a glorious day my friend! Hugs

[@barbarajackola8701]

Love all those papers, wish I had them. Love all the pages and tags you did with them.sending ❤️🙏

[@lalagamma4452]

I adore the randomness of the videos lately. I'm getting a slew of new inspiration. Everything turned out wonderful as always. 🐞💓

[@tfntexas]

I love this series and wanted this episode to go longer…so fun!

[@judithdaly2540]

Me too

[@karenlewis632]

Thanks for sharing! Always inspiring and fun!😊

[@thecraftystasher]

Haha ! … Craft Supplies, at a Florist Shop ! Hey, … Sounds, Pretty Good ~ To Me ! 😋😋😋

[@trudyduhon5170]

I seem to always be to late to catch you live. So glad you record every. 😊

[@LynsAlteredArts]

None of Gayle’s videos are live so you can catch them anytime you want.

[@brendaalaniz3090]

I will be on a wallpaper hunt! Thank you so much for your ideas!

[@WoodlandInspired]

Wow Gayle, I'm going to have to drag out all my wallpaper scraps.😊 Thanks for the project shares💜

[@barbaragrow4064]

Morning Gayle!greetings from Perth Western Australia.😀

[@carolynchatham6376]

It was like treasure hunt!!

[@buddymycatbychristyolesen1993]

Fun papers. I think I have some posters stashed away somewhere. Dealing with curled paper is frustrating. I flatten it by misting the back with water and placing between two pieces of paper, either blotter paper or cheap watercolor paper, then placing a couple of large coffee table books on top. I let it dry a couple of days. Just don’t do it with pre-pasted wall paper! Or you could do that if you lay it on plastic wrap or want to glue it to a backing paper.

[@Kassitiee]

💜 Ty Gayle!

[@darleneboehm9666]

That was fun! You got some great pages and pockets👍

[@nancypyter1511]

You sure have a nice collection of wallpapers Gayle!

[@sassymimisandysue3997]

Watching you on this video tonight and I was looking at these incredible rolls of paper and wondering where they came from. So I picked up my phone to write a message to ask you when lo and behold, you said, “You might ask where I got these paper, well I don’t know, I don’t know.” My husband was watching something else when I burst out laughing out loud!” Of course he wanted to know what was so funny and I had to tell him. I though it was hilarious, he didn’t even laugh!” Can you imagine that? Good ideas if I can I can only find some kind of paper I like even half as much as that!

[@robinpowell2712]

Happy Friday. 😊

[@CreatorsCall]

Great ideas all! TFS! 💖

[@lenawarelius4195]

Lovely papers 😍🏵🌺🌼🌻🌹

[@LynsAlteredArts]

You got so much done, this was such a fun one.

[@deedeeedychance7757]

What a good find.

[@smurfie161]

Love the butterfly paper

[@nancymoore1275]

I don't read all your comments and I'm sure someone has already mentioned it, but unless I didn't see it correctly you cut the fabric piece at the beginning at 7 1/2 instead of 8 1/2 🤔 I was trying to tell you, but guess you didn't hear me. 🤣 You have the best paper and wallpaper, so exciting to watch.

[@dianajackman7213]

I think the butterfly is my favorite! What a great idea.

[@teresemartinez6215]

You read my mind when you decided to organize a minute, glad you put together the Christmas papers! Love the butterflies, love this series!

[@anitaturner2999]

Good morning, Gayle! Today was so much FUN!! I love the chicken paper and you got so much done with it, just in time for your farm journal. I hope you're having a blast with your retreat! Take care!

[@junellancalade1879]

Hi Gayle!! I love FFF!! It’s like watching you after you’ve had “a shop” in your craft room!! It’s truly impelled me to go through all my forgotten goodies! Thank you for sharing and all you do for this community! 💖💕Hugs!!

[@ruthh.935]

That was a fun Friday Forgotten Friend find, Gayle! (Say that three times real fast!)😂 And, they will make lovely pages for a journal.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

So funny that I’m answering your comment while you’re sleeping across the room! 😂. Love you, my friend! 🥰❤️

[@gayneels5169]

You crack me up ! Gail - put something on it!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Lots of good ideas! I'm enjoying forgotten friends Friday. I hope everyone is having a great time at the retreat! Love&hugs to you all.

[@rduckster4727]

Good morning friend! I’ve been sorting paper scraps AGAIN...hoping this new envelope storage method will help me use it up. I’m a hoarder of everything paper. Blessings 💜

[@kathw7020]

I have rolled up papers and wallpaper, good ideas, thanks. I bet there is a lot of stuff across the room, lol

[@kelleysgirl1]

You always have the best ideas! That postal paper is fun! :)

[@thejunkjournalstudio]

Cool! You made it look so easy! I have a few rolls of forgotten friends too!

[@janicestouffer6699]

Hi, I really liked the pages you made from the large papers. Maybe from the wallpaper pieces, you could make some digitals for your Etsy shop!

[@donitamoore8123]

Lots accomplished today with your Forgotten Friends. Such a good feeling to be rid of some of those rolls of papers. I don't have any wall paper but am on the lookout for some books at garage sales. The local stores want too much for discontinued books. It all was fun to watch today! Have a blessed day!

[@petomine1565]

Morning Gayle! It is so funny that this was what you chose to do because I had just gotten out my rolled up Italian papers and wallpaper! Your vibe most have gotten a tailwind and blew all the way to Alabama!

[@jennylawson1980]

Lol lol 😂 I totally get the expression,”way across the room.” It’s amazing what I have found on my own “treasure” hunt. Todays video was a fun and relaxing one 💕

[@joanndankovchik4861]

And another film to enjoy and get inspired with. Thanks, I love roosters, and hope to see what you do with them!!!

[@doubleblessings-royalcrowr1669]

I'm curious cause I want to use up some wrapping paper. You always amaze

[@AR_WWE_Short_4K]

Beautiful😍😍

[@bethrizer5589]

Fun book cover

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Gayle!!! You are awesome :-D x

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Right back to you, dear Tracie! Big hugs! 🤗❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Right back to you, dear Tracie! Big hugs! 🤗❤️

[@hazelanakadesign7071]

I really enjoyed this one, Gayle. I, too have rolls of paper, gift wrap, wallpaper, drawer liners, that are calling to me. Liked how you used the wallpaper borders to create wraparound pockets. Thanks, Hazel

[@cynthiamelinn2743]

use the old wallpaper books, they work wonderful and they have coordinated papers.

[@tamaraklepel1517]

Sometime, I would like to see you do a tutorial for a small journal. I have been thinking of making one each for my grands. For them to learn their writing skills and keeping secrets and so on.

[@amyhermans8723]

Hi Tamara! She has a great small journal tutorial right here. Happy crafting! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqqofHyXrriIrdk

[@OneGuyOnline2]

Love the papers, try misting the paper lightly with water to get it to lay flat again.

[@verybusymomof2]

Lol, I have a crate of those across my room too!

[@raggedyann4372]

Love the wallpaper, I wish I had saved my extra wallpaper from years ago😳

[@wildaltarose]

Now I have lots of ideas on how to use my Cavallini paper collection. I always felt it was to precious to use….well it’s way past time.

[@rachellee.9389]

I may love FFF more than SS. A revival of Tuesday Use Day might be in order, only make it Use It Up Tuesday. I get sort of frustrated when useful bits are put back to languish in a corner again, so if I go to all the trouble to pull something out, I use it all up. The satisfaction of using something up is so wonderful!

[@tannabella6071]

Good morning! Omg it’s already Friday! Love love love papers! Thanks for sharing! Blessings!💕

[@lucy7b]

Wonderful

[@lorieduff7126]

Good Morning my sweet friend. I hope your retreat is going great. Wish I could of been there maybe another year!! This is a fun project!

[@kristinaadams7203]

Last week I bought some ʻfancyʻ paper like yours, then found some at home. So, I made a few pages with new and old friends! I am so pleased to see how you use it - so many more ideas (and yours always look much better than mine). To cut, I used my big quilterʻs ruler and my really tiny rotary cutter, stuff from both worlds. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@KarolBarrios1302]

Good morning Gayle so much fun while painting home.

[@mouseydeb3245]

Good morning Gayle! 💕 Looking at my stash of forgotten wallpaper and wrapping papers (now scattered in the floor in my hallway) I’m beginning to wonder if playing along with ‘forgotten friends’ thing is such a good idea. 🤣 I am joking of course! Love being reminded of ‘out of sight, out of mind’ things I need to be using. 👍 Meanwhile, my cat is helping me ‘sort’ these rolls of paper. 🥴 Have a wonderful weekend! 🤗

[@lesliecaldwell2101]

Good Morning Gayle ❤️ I love Forgotten Friends Friday! You made some great pages today!

[@donadeam2313]

Your Forgotten Friends are such good videos. They remind me of things I’ve collected for years and forgotten about. I have similar rolled up paper I bought because it was beautiful. Now I have some ideas about how I can use it. Thanks for the inspiration. 😊

[@rowenaroberts813]

Wow, those rolls are just amazing. I especially love that green paper that you made into a ruffle. It looks so cool. 😻💕

[@arlenemorrison6753]

Sometimes to flatten a rolled up sheet of paper...roll it over the opposite direction, then it's pretty flat. X

[@LynsAlteredArts]

I got rid of a couple of those old Cavallini posters and now I’m sorry I did. But I do have a vintage camera one that I plan to use. I see them in like the fancy paper shops, places like Papyrus and gift shops, bookstores often have them. Mine came from a store that was called University Art which then became Utrecht which then became Dick Blick so I’m gonna guess that Dick Blick still might carry Cavallini.

[@DragunSlayor]

I really enjoyed this video and the idea with the art papers. Love the Euro Bills paper- Very colorful and it would be great as part of a Europe or Travel Journal. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@buckiannscreations9089]

Lol so funny.. I'm here on the other side of the screen screaming "Noo! That's 7 1/2 not 8 1/2! Don't cut it! "

[@sharonskains5049]

Another inspiring video! I have never made friends with rolled paper, so this will be more aptly named "New Friends Friday" for me. I plan to check out local shops that sell wallpaper books, just to see what is available. Thanks for broadening my horizons.

[@carolynkl7048]

I'm less than a minute into the video and I already love this video! Carolyn

[@helensalo9810]

If you take the rolled paper and flip it over and roll it I the other direction it will hold the curling down. Just a suggestion for the next time😂😂

[@TheresaPetermann]

so funny. I just went through my stash of art papers and cut off 4" swathes and from that made small tag samples so I know what I have!!! thanks for sharing how you used these papers.

[@inkedpaperart1572]

I love your forgotten friends Friday videos! Wallpaper packs are available in my Etsy shop. I loved seeing what you made from the wallpaper! Its so fun to work with!
