Just remember you are loved very much. I always enjoy hanging out with you whatever you are doing. Spend lots of time with the people you love that’s what life is about. Glad you had a wonderful birthday. Hugs, Amy💕

[@sharonskains5049]

I do still watch the news because I need to know what needs to be done to try to mitigate the problems, what letters need to be written, what phone calls need to be made, what candidates need to be supported, what tragedies exist that need donations, and, as you pointed out, what to pray for. Yes, it is stressful, and that is one of the reasons I stop by your channel once a day to remind myself that there are good people, people filled with kindness, generosity, hope, inclusiveness, and sympathy. The journaling community is a light in a world too filled with darkness. Case in point - an artist who is stressed because celebrating her own birthday and hanging out with her husband has taken time away from her viewers. if you don't feed yourself, you will not be able to sustain anyone else. Party all year long! If you want to make more collage pages tomorrow, do it. I either learn something new, or am reminded of something I have forgotten, every time I visit your channel. You always make me smile, and I am not alone in that. What you do for this community remains a gift, not an obligation. If you want to spend the morning dancing in the kitchen with Mike, go for it. We will be here when you get back.

You said it all! Friends, and I consider myself Gayle's friend, will always understand and will be there when she's ready to be with us!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I just love you, Sharon! You bring tears to my eyes often…in a totally good way! And you’re one of the most eloquent writers I’ve ever read. Thanks for keeping me centered, supporting me and, most of all, for being my friend! 🤗😘❤️

Happy Birthday Month Gayle! You and my momma share August. She will be 92 on August 30th! She watches you with me sometimes & what she remembers most is the birth stone ring you used to wear. I think you wore it when you were getting your wedding rings adjusted. Have a wonderful birthday! Celebrate it all month! 🎂🧁💐

Please tell your momma I said Happy Birthday to her! ❤️

[@JulieTorrens]

Bless your heart and Happy Belated Birthday! You truly had a lot going on for your special day and a whole lot more to look forward to. It is not a bad thing but overwhelming to be sure. Your collage work is lovely as always. Taking a break from journal making is needed from time to time. What you are doing is making your crafting supplies more manageable. Your next journal will be adorned with the wonderful makes on days like today. Rest well, eat right, drink plenty of water and have another dose or two of time in your husband's arms.

Thank you Julie! ❤️

[@joey143jenny]

Oh boy can I relate to your friend and having to fix up her house. When Joe and I moved into our current house, which is 117 years old, it's never ending! But... you do get to a point where you can add other things into your super busy, incredibly full, life. I bet at that time, your friend will be so eager to learn a new craft. How sweet of you to continue to think of ways to give her that outlet! I was collaging last night, and fumbling so badly. Now I'm eager to get back in the craft room and give her another shot! ❤

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Always fun to see how you put a collage together. It is one of my favorite things to do. Thanks!!

[@judiemjacobson4613]

I always love Scrappy saturday. And I would love to have you do more tomorrow. I was anxious to see what they look like when you cut them up for tags and journal cards and pockets and such. So I'm looking forward to tomorrow. And I hope that someday Sandy is able to be ready to do junk journals but I'm reminded that when I talk to some of my friends nobody's interested in doing it. But it would be so nice to have a friend to do it with wouldn't it. I hope it works out good for you blessings my friend

[@tayabney6848]

Hello Gayle, What a great idea! So pleased you've had a fab birthday week! I haven't commented for awhile. Basically because I too become overwhelmed with life; our obligations, chores, family ....etc. You deserve happiness & fun. I was going to say that your school friend Sandra is overwhelmed as well. You said it, timing. I feel in time, when her obligations, & pressing home matters are addressed she will have mental, creative headspace. You're patient, she'll be smitten when she has space for creativity. She can incorporate her present hobbies into junk journalling. I'm going to be patient too & watch this space. Wow, all your August birthdays sounds mad!! And now. ..................BREATHE. Take care Gayle, Lot's of Love, Tay xx 🌈🌹

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Lovely to hear from you, Tay! Yes! For everything, there is a season. ❤️

Hi Gayle. Belated birthday wishes xx. I am a long time subscriber always watch rarely comment but love all the videos. XxThink loosely translated I think it “ paper is my pleasure”. Or pleasure with paper “. Lol. Or not. Long time since I have done Italian. Lol. Loving the scrappy Saturday, who knew you could have so much fun with scraps of paper. Oh yes we did. 🤣😊😊

[@TinkITreasurebooks]

Good Morning Gayle Happy Birthday! I get overwhelmed a lot, but never by my own making 😅 It's more like an unexpected email at work can just blowup your day. Too many requests can create anxiety. I'm so happy for my crafting time, Whether I'm video taping for my channel or listening to a book on tape, it is my happy place. Helena seems like a great place, I have no friends that share my interests: crafting, watercolor or journals. Maxine

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yes, my friend! Too many requests can create anxiety. Oh man, that just resonated so strongly with me! I so appreciate that. I really think that’s going to mentally help me going forward. Thank you, Maxine! ❤️

When I collage I end up overthinking and spend too much time doing the collage. I also am very up and down oriented. Like to see your thought process.

I looked on Amazon.....Oragami Strips...

[@belindaosgood]

Ahhh, collage is so therapeutic. I think my favourite was the very first one you did with all the text. I'm sorry your friend is not in the right space to avail of your journal enthusiasm. I can tell you were looking forward to a real life craft buddy. Perhaps she might enjoy some social crafting time with you when she needs a break from the rest of what she has going on, as a kind of art therapy. Perhaps work on little projects over time and then surprise her with a journal comprised on the things she did with you? If I was not living half a world away I'd be pestering you on the doorstep every day. "Come on Gayle. Let's go play in your craft room!" 😆

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh how lovely that would be to be “pestered” by you, dear Belinda! 😂❤️

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

It would be cute to add little parts of the florintine paper or labels on the writing side too. Just to tie them together here and there. Not big pieces. Maybe like one label cut into 6 parts to just have a little pop here or there? Could be cute and add a little more interest to the other side

[@dianngaines5167]

I am a new subscriber and new to junk journaling. When you make a pocket or tag out of the collaged piece, do you do more decorating to it, or is that then done? If you do decorate do you see any of the collage?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Diann! Welcome to my channel! I’m so glad you’re here! I usually sew around the edges of my ephemera made from master boards (but it’s not necessary) to give it extra texture. Then I’ll add a focal point such as a flower or bird and maybe a label or word as well. Now that you’re here, you’ll see me use these pieces a lot and decorate the cards, tags and pockets on camera too. The collage ends up being the “background” of the piece, so you see bits and pieces of it. Often the collage itself will dictate how I decorate so as to leave certain parts visible. Hope that helps! ❤️

[@hizzins222]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@nancyjoclark5006]

Can you remind me what you do with the used glue pages you have? I collaged on some and made pockets and belly bands. Anything else?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Journal cards, usually around 6 x 4 inches or a size for the spot in a journal where I want to put them. Folded length wise, tags. 👍❤️

[@LynsAlteredArts]

I had a thought when you mentioned sending out some journals, have you ever noticed if you’ve ever sold a journal to someone that wasn’t a subscriber or a patron, just someone who randomly found your journal on Etsy?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I haven’t really looked at that. I recognize a lot of the folks that purchase from either YT or Patreon. With the millions of shops, the chance of someone just stumbling onto my shop is pretty slim. 😂❤️

[@kimerlyhogan6567]

Hi Gayle, I love your channel! I am a bit new to collage, so I want to ask you about the ruler you are using. How is it different from any other ruler? 🙂

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

It’s a Tim Holtz brand ruler and the one side curves down toward the paper to creat a tight seal with the surface and makes tearing paper super easy. The trick is to hold down firmly. 👍❤️

[@DarlaLeuschen]

Good morning, Gayle! I am glad you are having such a great birthday week. I was working on collaging the neutral sides in my collage book. Where DO all these scraps come from?

Question: the clear like see through ,people use does it come from Amazon’s, or Etsy or free in mail? I have tried to find it however, not being successful. I think cori use some to sandwich flowers. Any ideas?

Are you thinking of acetate? Try searching that term. Yes some packaging comes with acetate, so free, but you can also buy it, they even sell it at Michael’s I think in the wedding invitation section.
