[@jenfournier]

Love hearing all your tips for us newbies! I am a new junk journal junkie and love all your interesting and fun videos 🙂

[@MonicaGarciadivinelight]

I was sort of half watching today because I have a bad headache and I find your voice soothing. And I totally giggled at the “never give up!” Cropodile moment!! Thanks for giving me a giggle when I’m not feeling great!😁

[@peggyeaton6601]

What a great series. Thoroughly enjoying it.

[@lynnsinclair123]

Crafted alongside of you, today. Let's just say, I had to pause the video a few times, but it was fun. Thanks!

[@craftycat7212]

You're giving me so many ideas. Thank you Gayle for sharing these ideas.💕😺Hugs, Amy

[@wendyfair6888]

I agree completely, Unbelievable was a very well done loved it. I love all these little embellishments!

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

I love this ephemera series!! I can't wait to try this ephemera book.👋☺️💕 I appreciate all that you share with us.🥰

[@sharonalfenito2983]

Hi Gale! I have been silently watching u on u tube for about six months now and wanted to say how inspiring you are. I am a diamond painter who acidently came across one of your videos and now am addicted to junk journals! You inspire me! I just love your giggles and sweet voice. I look forward to you each and everyday! Thank you so much for inspiring me to hone in on another creative outlet!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Aw thank so much, Sharon! ❤️

[@billiejoethomason6075]

Yes ! You nailed it .... got that grommet mastered 😉👍

[@helenascott389]

Victory fist punch!!!! Woowhoooo. Cute!! TFS😻xx

[@raundar2886]

I just finished watching Unbelievable too. Very very good Can't wait to finish rearranging my craftroom so I can make me an idea book and start making all these great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

I am watching some of your older videos that I missed! I loved all of these and they gave me some much needed inspiration! You are so talented big sis! 🤗💖🤗

[@robinpowell2712]

I have to get back in my craft room and get busy. These were great! Thank you for sharing them!

[@jbeaudi]

This series is so much fun! I made a bunch of the Chelle altered paperclips but I sewed the sides and bottom up first, added the buttons and lace, then sewed the top closed. It was pretty easy that way. I cant wait till the next installment! Tfs!

[@ruthskiff2899]

I love the alternated paper clip. Been waiting for that. Thank you.

[@lynnecoleman1135]

Wrap the two sheets of paper in a bow abd sign the bottom of one paper. give it away in denver. a cherished memory of the paper pad project. 😊

[@Ladysarauk]

I love those you always manage to inspire me Gayle, thank you, hugs sara

[@cathywaide9792]

Hello Gayle, thank you for all the this gr8 you share with us. I love everything! I watched Unbelievable in one day! It was so emotionally charged I could not stop..It was very well done..

[@SammiJarrad]

Cute cute cute! Thank you for sharing Gayle. 😘💜💜

[@elizabethkerckhoff1259]

Hi Ms.Gayle!!! Great copycats! They all look great! You have got that eyelet in perfectly! Enjoy the rest your evening! Big hugs,Liz

[@karenpruis501]

I love this series Gayle. So interesting and fun. Don't worry about accidentally bumping the camera. Personally, it is not a problem. It happens to most people while filming on KZbin. I love your videos and infectious laughter. You are one talented crafter too! warm wishes Karen.

[@gelpen26]

....I get grommet anxiety too. Thanks for crafting with us!

[@MissDaisyParsley]

Oh, I love the idea of using the envelope maker to make a file folder tab! Why didn't I think of that! I will have to replay this when I'm not in office but crafting and make some along with you! I am needing to make one of those idea journals too!

[@MsBuddy16]

So wish I could be at your meet & greet! It sounds like it should be lots of fun. Planning on rewatching a lot of these ephemera videos so I can be ready to make all of them when I can get back to my craft room..

[@sallysmith2350]

Totally agree with you re Unbelievable .. Wow . Brilliant .. We binged watched it . Walked around with square eyes for two days 😂😂😂

[@jamakrueger7460]

Thanks for this play list😊. Loving it!!!

[@tinaart64]

So fun to see and love all ideas, had a bit of a giggle with the buttons, but you did it. Hi from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@georgiewalker1069]

👏👏👏 thank youuuuuu! This made ME feel happy x

[@tinlizzie4444]

Hi Gayle!! This series is so much fun to watch!! Your projects are awesome!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

[@Kpattee]

Unbelievable, awesome series! Didn’t like I-land either. But what I do love is watching your videos!

[@juneribbons5196]

As always you're pieces are beautiful !!

[@patversteeg1667]

Haha, that's ok Gayle...the order of things is a learning process. You done good. Fun

[@pacools]

I am late to the party but watching and making the ephemera now

[@plaguies339]

Yay Gayle!!! You got the grommet! I had my fingers crossed for you. Haha

[@creativespacejeannie279]

Ok first I want to say I hope you have the most wonderful time at your meet & greet in Denver, wish I could be there. Second when the tables rocking I’m a crafting. Just saying with love. I’m glad you’re doing the ephemera videos, making me think outside my journaling world. Love and hugs.

[@artzology]

Oh, Gayle, these are amazing! Yours turned out so lovely! I love your videos so much! xo

[@melwee8511]

Everything is so pretty and u give such attention to details. Thx for sharing :)

[@belindaosgood]

I love all of these ideas. I so need to get going on an ideas book. We watched Unbelievable; it was so good. I am part way through I-Land. I don't mind it; reminds me a lot of Lost, but I listen more than watch - I'm always doing something art or craft related when the tv is on. Drives my husband mad as he feels like he's got to fill me in what I am not seeing. LOL

[@sharonakers7950]

Hi Gayle! I watch you ALL the time and you have helped me through a lot girl! I may not comment every day but you sure keep me company everyday!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks, Sharon! ❤️

[@kathyguenther5866]

Gayle I think you should make a digital freebie out of that piece of scrap paper you stamped off on for those of us who love you!!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Darn those copyrights!....just not possible. 😔❤️

[@roseslacenlaughter7513]

Awesome projects! I binge watched the Unbelievable series after Yyvonne mentioned it. It was good acting. It was hard to watch at times. It was emotional. It brings out the Mama bear in a person, wanting to protect that young woman, you know what I mean.

[@gilmoregirls1234]

I love the Idea of stamping off the stamp on a piece of paper and having it be this beautiful paper for your journal

[@koyosensebe8027]

Always wonderful ideas thanks!

[@connirusie3600]

Thanks for sharing your endless stream of ideas. I blame you and other KZbin channels for my inability to fall asleep at night! My mind churns with ideas!!!! 😀

[@aarahhaase6116]

Thanks for another new ephemera day Gayle ~ since I don't have an envelope maker or all the punches you have it's fun to make do with what I have ~ really enjoying this series!!! It would be helpful if you could give some measurements just to give us an idea.

[@truckerbrat7005]

Yes! I also watched Unbelievable and it was phenomenal. They really explored some taboo subjects and lots of strong female characters. Very well done! Oh, and I like the project too, lol. esp. with the music paper ;)

[@rosemareemclure3227]

As I watched this today I had the thought that for the tiny piece you needed to see, that it may possibly have been made with a larger background, perhaps even with a number of similar pieces on the same page, sewn then cut down to be the tiny embellishments. Thanks for sharing

[@vickieb2917]

I made the envelope tuck spot/pockets today and will definitely be making the little file journal card tomorrow, my junk journal is growing! So exciting.

[@penelopemarshall6320]

Great projects, love the little paperclip!

[@roandrus]

Love your work Gayle. Can’t wait to use some of the digis purchased from your shop. Great tip on how to make a file tab using the WeRMemory Keepers envelope cutter. Can’t wait to try that one!

[@karrigradolph8199]

I love these ideas!! ❤

[@gretchenkleer9252]

Loving the ephemera vids! Wish I could go to the meet & greet, I'll be there in spirit! Have fun! tyfs. ;-)

[@marystumpf3370]

Oh my, I have trouble with my cropadile as well. Finally went out and bought the little one and it works fine. One day, I shall defeat that darn tool, after all, I’m bigger than old croppy!!

[@bernicechiniborch2600]

Did the little booklet and I love it. Going to try the paperclip for sure and the mini file folder. Thanks for sharing.

[@lilly-millymakes169]

Really lovely Gayle. I was taken with your stamp organization, so I set about sorting mine. Some had paper backing so I soaked them in the sink, now I'm liking the backing papers that floated off too!! There is no hope for a junk hoarder, lol. xx

[@brenzblenz]

Fo the paperclip... for future. Sew three sides and put buttons in. Sew up the top last. Clips would be handy to hold it in place too.

[@lilycreek7101]

Gayle, on the paper clip-sew a pocket(3 sides), stick the buttons in and then stitch the top closed just like sewing a pillow-no slippery buttons❤️

[@alemapretsof]

Gayle, you are just so dang cute!!!! Cropodile success! I must tell you how I now wish people a "Grateful" Day. Many stop and think twice. It has sparked a few conversations, often leading from how we have so much to be thankful for, to our Greatest Gift, our salvation. Oh, and you posted this particular clip on my 60th birthday! Many gentle hugs and thanks for what you do.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

A belated happy birthday, Pamela!! 🎉😘❤️

[@julie-annehoffmann8799]

I love your channel thank you for sharing

[@travelingmntngal7963]

Hey Gayle! I did watch this the other day, but it was during my lunch break at the school and I wasn't able to write. And then I've been really busy at home, so haven't watched in the past few days. I am playing catch up now. I used to make mini booklets with my students by folding one sheet of paper. And then they'd make a booklet about what we were studying. This one you made is small, but it's so cute! And I love the little file ephemera. Very pretty. The altered paper clip is fun, too! Well, on to the next video! :)

[@maryhodges8186]

You are not alone. I always have a problem using my crop a dile also.

[@NowTheresaCraftyIdea]

The happy dance had me laughing so much. Love it x

[@anita4291]

I love these videos! TFS.

[@juliennebrendadevos6004]

Definetly going to try to make one .

[@bethann2971]

Woohoo she did it she did it "yes" she conquered the crop a dile. The little bitty book is sure cute

[@cindywilder7277]

Your doing a good job.I'm watching the series The Iirregulars. Good so far.

[@1jmass]

Using the lace on your tag makes sense with your blue floral paper. The original one was on ledger paper, so a rougher crochet style works there. Good choice on your part. Unless you need the extra reach it offers, to me the original Cropodile is much easier to use than the Big Bite.

[@DairyBarnArt1]

I binge watched “Unbelievable” last week when I wasn’t feeling well. It is one of the best shows that I have seen in a while. It’s so sad that it’s based on real events though.

[@craftydawk.janettedawkins7516]

Great ideas tfs. Some people have nothing better to do than pick fault. A little jiggle here and there is all good 🥰❤️🥰 With your tag punch if you punch out the shape then slip it into the die again after sticking it to a sticky note then you can cut it down to any size you like. Hope this makes sense xx

[@MelodiMade]

Fabulous ideas!! It’s so inspiring to see a compilation of 2 + artists in one project!! Thank you, Gayle and Chelle!

[@mandyw242]

Whoop whoop u did it u beat the crocodile, tfs big hugs xx

[@donnahunter3488]

Loving these videos!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@crafterdeidra]

Very cute ephemera.

[@Solo3198-]

Love it all! I made everything along with you. Many pauses. I confess I did not try the paperclip yet. I have watched "Unbelievable" it was very well done. I loved the lead actresses! I also just watched "Diagnosis" that was very interesting.

[@nancykirk8913]

Thanks to you dear Gayle, I am gathering lots of adorable ideas for my ephemera basket......these are all so cute and I loved the music one inclosed in the plastic...really cute!!!! But, they all were!!! Thank you for being there for us and please come back from your meet and greet with at least a few pictures.....and,don't forget one of baby Bucky!!! That is if Mary and Dad is OK with that!!!!! Hugs

[@charlottemarek3045]

I wish you could really hear us as we talk to your video! Your big blue journaling card with the stamp over the scalloped circle was beautiful but...your fancy label punches would have worked for the tiny piece of music paper. You make a full-size label, then slip it back into the punch partway to make it the height you want. I'm making bookmarks for a study group at church, and I was thinking of making some altered paperclips. Thanks for making it look so easy (except for the sewing plastic around buttons part...I won't be doing that. LOL)

[@debandrew2802]

So cute!

[@sandraaustin5326]

Hello from the other side of the mountain. Love watching you craft and stealing some of your idea's. Hope the snow isn't too bad for you this weekend. Thank you for all the hours of entertainment, you are so fun to watch.

[@conneeboulmay3431]

Fantastic!

[@kikidodson4c4l51]

Thanks so much for this video! Is so fun learning with you. You talked a little about getting questions about just starting out. I havent made my first journal but know I am very into this craft and know I want to sell my journals. So have done a lot of watching and studying to know the style I want to do, and from that what supplies I need, and have been collecting for several months. Now I am sorting my ephemera, cutting shapes I like and printing digis Ive purchased (one being your coffee stained papers). I am nearing the end of my initial collecting and am arranging my studio for an efficient setup, then will make my first journal. Because I want to sell, I have also studied marketing and from watching so many videos I know how I want to do my flip throughs. I will do tutorials down the road as I come up with maybe new ideas, or put my own spin on something I learned from others. I am so excited to get started!!! Thanks again Gayle!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Good for you, my friend!! And thanks so much for the purchase of the coffee stained digi! Sounds like you’re organized and ready to fly!! Enjoy the journey, Kiki!! 😘❤️

[@brendathebeau6748]
