[@vanessarussell7997]

Hello Gayle I remember sewing the cards as child. I now have some for my great grands. I loved every thing you made. Sorry about your retreat. Take care of yourself. We will get throw this. Have a wonderful day.

[@marthamanigross]

Aw Gayle, I’m sorry you had to cancel your retreat. So many of us have had to change plans this year. Big hugs. So glad you got an appointment. Hoping they figure it all out and you get what you need to feel better. More big hugs. Yay for another rolling cart! 😁 🤗💕🐶🐾🐾💕🤗

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks so much for the suggestion of another rolling cart! It’s perfect for my ephemera folios and frees up so much room! I didn’t realize how much I was cramping myself up!! Hugs, my friend! ❤️

[@marthamanigross]

Gayle Agostinelli 💕🤗

[@lalagamma4452]

Absolutely exquisite Gayle!!! I'm really sorry you can't have your art retreat but I'm so glad you're being precautious!! It's a whole new world and we're going to brave it all together!! TFS Sweet Gayle!! Namesta 🌻🕉️🦚💛🦋💙🐞💚

[@JannyHaak]

Cool pockets, and just love how the envelope turned out! 👌💕

[@barbaracheatham692]

We had over 100 degrees the last couple of days. Today was cooler....in the upper 80’s. Texas is a hot number.

[@jetwasik1648]

Fun ephemera! Love the Blue Fern Journal. It’s gorgeous!

[@chaselip]

That was a lot of fun. Prayers for you that the tests come out ok💖💖💖

[@suemeteer1499]

You are such a hoot! Making me smile with your comments! Thank you!

[@tinlizzie4444]

Love what you made today Gayle!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

[@craftysenora1840]

Your videos are so much fun, Gayle!

[@francesarmstrong957]

I love Rachel's paper. It is well worth the price and wait

[@WoodlandInspired]

Cute projects my favorite one is the envelope with the bird. Sorry to hear you had to cancel your retreat its always nice to get away, having cabin fever myself. Wishing you well on your test I know what your going through my husband starting having a lot of health problems before all this happened and now we wait for many tests to be done. Take care & be safe!

[@daphnemayjoyce8378]

Gayle that journal is absolutely beautiful I could not do any think like that .As you have all the right things .I am just starting to learn I have done one journal and very happy with it .Many thanks for your videos .Jimmy Jo is a good boy .take care Daphne in Australia 🇦🇺🙏🏻🤗🦋💕

[@jbeaudi]

I'm sorry about your retreat, I know you were looking forward to it. I love your embroidery technique, I would have had literally the same amount of thread on the back in the glue the way I would have seen it! All the cards came out really cute.

[@LadyArtemis114]

Love watching you craft!

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

Cute video. I loved all the goodies you made! I might try the Austin challenge, very cute!

[@conniesholl3409]

Great visiting with you today..I am trying to play catch up! Hugs!

[@auntielaura5]

I like the sewing on the card. I think it would be super cute with a narrow ribbon - using a tapestry needle. Or with multiple sewn-on buttons. 😊

[@brendaalaniz3090]

Well here in Texas you'd be turning on a/c. Everytime I watch one of your videos......I learn something new. Being a newbie makes me bug-eyed over the smallest thing! Hugs from this ol' Texas gal!

[@Shelby-uw2tt]

I love it when you say hi to me, I take my iPad to my husband and play it for him! For the journaling card with the embroidered stitches avoid the knots and just glue it down, you’re backing it anyways! As always thanks for sharing! 💐

[@maggieflatt9686]

I like the journal card you made for Austin. Love how yesterdays gelli prints turned out. Awesome colors.

[@kayjayjournalcrafts6772]

Ooooh your using the frames I sent you, what a great way to use them too, love the Austin journal card idea too, defo got to give them a go 😊 love and hugs 💞 xx

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I think the frame on the long strip is SO cute!! ❤️

[@kayjayjournalcrafts6772]

Gayle Agostinelli I think so too 😁 xx

[@annehahn9240]

I started watching your videos about a month ago and have been inspired to make some journals. I am a scrapbooker and card maker so I have lots of paper and embellishments. I am excited to have more ideas to use more of my stash! Thank you so much for sharing your crafting skills!

[@nancykirk8913]

I ordered one of your rolling carts yesterday too!!!! Even ordered the aqua color like yours!!! Can't wait for it to come!!!! I loved what you did today, and loved the idea of Austin's!!! A little stitching added a lot, I thought and, the button!!!! Those Italian papers from Rachel are just lovely.....I hope she carries them again eventually in her shop! Gayle, your Blue Fern project is so far looking really stunning....I love it!!!! I ordered two packs from two different places, but so far only one has come, and, silly me, I can NOT for the life of me remember whom I ordered the 2nd one from so I can't even check on it!!!! I'm so not together at times, I do that so much, I know I should write everything down I ordered and keep track but, hey, that's too much like work!!!! Love ya dear girl, love spending each day with you!!!!!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Hi Gayle. That method of printing on full sheet label paper is a good one. I need to do it more often. That button card is so cute. I absolutely love Florentine paper. I think it is my favorite.

[@Melinda-S]

Love the card for Austin! I'm going to remember how to do that one. I know what it's like with needing the heater down in the basement. I used to have my work station in my basement and frequently needed a space heater. The temperature upstairs never matched downstairs. Thanks for sharing!

[@robinpowell2712]

I like those little frames.

[@patbrez3079]

This is a great idea, remember when we sewed on cardboard with yarn, I think you can buy patterns for kids. That’s how my mom taught was how to sew by hand. 👍🌼🌼🌼

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I did those too, Pat! Fun memory! ❤️

[@sonjarossouw4240]

I am so sorry about your retreat. Our annual convention also had to be canceled. It is sad. So grateful though for your tutorials. You inspire me. 💕🐝

[@ruthh.935]

The last-minute envelope turned out very pretty. Am thinking of other stitching patterns one could do on a journal card. The stitching reminds me of sewing cards I played with when I was a kid. Really enjoyed the video.

[@pennymeyer3416]

You were right...it IS so cute. Would NEVER have thought of that embroidery thread or the straw paper backing...well, let's face it, the entire journal card design. 😁 Thank You as always!!

[@tannabella6071]

Lots of fun goodies to play with! Thanks for sharing!

[@chipecomartin6571]

I have learned so much from you and a few others. With this not being able to shop i am running out of stuff. Miss the thrift shops for fun items.

[@cheryltallafuss3975]

Still unwell, but huge blessing to tell you all. When I got ill, in November,.

[@theresasuttle711]

Great projects! Thank you for sharing!

[@MissDaisyParsley]

Beautiful! Love the stitching on the card! I need to start doing some of that!

[@rochestermanagementservice6082]

Hi, Gayle. Newbie here. Loved the card with hand stitching. Got me thinkin'... Instead of punching random holes, how about using a pen to make dots that spell out a short block-letter word (vertical or horizontal, depending on layout): KIND, HOPE, LOVE, LIVE, FUN, BE, etc. Punch dots, then stitch with embroidery thread (or even lightweight yarn.) Can't wait to try it! Thanks for continuing to share your creative ideas with us! Air Hugs from AZ, Cheryl.

[@DonnaLueders]

LOL you must not have heard me yelling about how to sew that. Yes, I talk to my computer. I do stitching cards and used to do cross stitch. Love your videos. Have been watching you and many others learning and wanting to start my first journal. Finding out I need a LOT of different things now,

[@sweetpeascraftingintheburb4462]

Hi Gayle that's a nice change n making them with same 2 papers but switching them xx alanna

[@hummerklein2567]

Gail, you’re a fabulous designer Love to watch you work thank you so much for sharing

[@tanyawoodward611]

love the bunny items

[@beahives]

"Mr. James Joseph" LOL I was just wondering the other day if Jimmy Joe got called by his full name if he was in trouble! Thanks for another wonderful video! ~ Karen

[@karensumner3772]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Those two papers you used together were drop dead gorgeous. And the stitching on Austin’s piece was so simple but added such visual interest I’m going to try it too. I had to laugh when you mentioned turning off your heater...I thought it was a fan or a/c unit🤣😂🤣. Take care. Thanks for the inspiration...all your pieces were lovely.

[@lauragaudry3402]

You’re turning your heater on...I am turning my fan on...the world has indeed gone crazy 😜😂. Making three of the Austin challenge cards. Take care Gayle, hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️

[@mariarosavalentini1599]

Bellissimo questo collegamento.grazie.saluti da Italia.

[@sharonlawler5834]

Love the card. I love paper and stitching combined or crafting. I tried really hard to get you to access the string my way. lol! If you are going to back the card, you can leave a tail and glue it to the back so you don't have th he bumps a knot will make.

[@marthahernandez1834]

Enjoy watching. Thanks for the many idea sparks.

[@MsBuddy16]

Hi Gayle, can't wait to do some hand stitching on my ephemera! It looks like fun! Your journal is growing more beautiful each time I see it. I am almost to the point that I can work in my craft room. Blessings -- Cindy

[@lynnsinclair123]

Sorry to hear you had to cancel your retreat. Cute pockets!

[@bluemuf]

Some great pieces of ephemera. I want to try Austin’s journal card.

[@JOBETHSEXTONSCraftyCauldron]

These were fabulous. Thank you for sharing these with us and for the links. I would trade your weather for ours, in a nanosecond! It's almost 100 or it is 100 degrees in some places. I live about 45 miles east of Phoenix and it is waaayy too hot for me already. Take care, Gayle.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I hear you! I have to say though having dinner on the patio in January in Phoenix was a treat!! I guess we all have our weather crosses to bear and our lovely weather to enjoy. Summers in Montana are THE best!! Stay cool, dear one! ❤️

[@JOBETHSEXTONSCraftyCauldron]

Yep, January is wonderful here. But, I still miss the snow. LOL... There's always something, right? I would love to see a Montana Summer someday!

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

Lovely cards you created today. So many ideas, I wonder if we will ever get through them all?

[@susiescraftroomandstudio]

Very nice!

[@joystone6460]

As you were cutting out the lace on label paper, I was thinking you could stamp "kind" on the plain leftover...laughed when you said the same thing :) I was thinking straw paper on back and you did that. Have a great week!

[@kathymarquardt157]

Great stuff

[@sandraeilenstine287]

To quote the Muppets, " Getting there is half the fun, come share it with me. " Thanks for sharing.

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

When I sew on something like that card. I put a bit of washi on each knot. And it helps the lumpy bumpy smooth out a bit.

[@roseanndeighan5872]

I love the little plastic box you have your tea cards in. I love tea cards! they are so much fun to play with. It is always so much warmer in my office than the rest of the house...I dont know if its the electronics? or all the lights? during the winter, its great, but during the summer months here in SC....not so fun. that is too funny! I always find every time I clean, I cant find so much when I sit down to craft. Speaking of, Every time I see you break out the ephemera books, I get inspired!! One day I may actually attempt to make one LOL Thank you for sharing yet another great video!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi friend! The little plastic box is a gum container! Recycling at it’s best! ❤️

[@JourneyofCrafting]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct LOVE IT!! I reuse containers ALL the time. My favorite atm is the little plastic jars from Talenti gelato. they are perfect for so many things, and are easy to decorate too. so win win :) Love reusing stuffs :D

[@colleenk22]

Journal is looking beautiful 😁

[@apiecemaker1163]

I am pretty new to junk journaling and have learned sooo much from these free classes on KZbin. I have traveled “when we still could lol” to take classes and trust me, they are very expensive and not nearly as heart felt, informative, or entertaining. There is a reason you are so popular. Watching and learning from you is like crafting with a friend. The reason I’m saying this is because I get so offended at the snarky comments from viewers. It’s like when you watch Wheel of Fortune. You can sit back on your couch and solve the puzzles better while eating Cheetos or watching football and run the plays lots better than the players do all the while you’re in your fuzzy pj’s. We have the luxury of crafting from our homes without an audience to critic our every decision. Wish people would keep it positive or keep it to yourself..Keep doing what you’re doing just exactly like you’re doing it! Thank you for being you.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Lorri, thank you so much for your heartfelt comment! I so appreciate your appreciation of how difficult it can be to think through, create a project and keep a running conversation going...every day. I will say though, that especially during this time, I’ve felt like it is a worthy endeavor to distract people from the hardship and sadness in our world. I’m blessed to do what I love and that people actually want to watch! Lol!! Thank you again, dear one, for your understanding and compassion! 😘❤️

[@apiecemaker1163]

Yes it is a worthy endeavor and like you say in your videos, you get er done! Be blessed and enjoy the journey. 🥰

[@robinpowell2712]

Sorry you had to cancel your retreat, Gayle. That's sad.. I have something coming up, important to me, that is going to get cancelled. Thank goodness for you and your channel, and the good things in life. 💖

[@PetersonJ60]

Just love your style, as you were crafting you grab a book with all your tags inside, what a great idea so I made one myself, thinking about signing up under your pardons sight, what's the difference of that and the face book page. Jodie

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Patreon is a platform to support your favorite artists. You make a monthly monetary pledge and in return receive benefits based on the level at which you join. Every patron gets the benefit of seeing the videos I post there. Those videos are never shown on KZbin. I hope that clarifies a little. Thanks for your interest! ❤️

[@claudiafortimelesscrochet4u]

I am glad you are using the embellishments I sent you :-). The pockets turned out real cute. I am sorry to hear you cancelled your retreat. You need to take care of yourself, there is always next year. Hopefully, by next year, we will have a vaccine and this whole mess will be over; I can't wait!! For now, I keep praying for the people we have lost and appreciate every day we are here and have each other.. Have a beautiful day!

[@roosmarie1961]

LOL LOL All of us are talking to you answering screaming. Don't you hear us LOL LOL. I hope you find the right medicines soon. that is a good solution from the hospital. and of course what you have pimped up is beautiful again.

[@anne-marie5197]

I was saying no gayle...backstitch! You didn’t hear me either. Lol

[@barbaragillingham9095]

Just wondering...when you did the hand sewing on the card..could you have put a piece of washi tape with glue on the back of the card instead of knots to secure? Love the projects you came up with.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Sure if I’d thought if it...which obviously I’d didn’t! 😂. Great idea though!! 😘❤️

[@All4God62]

Hi Gayle, I am glad to hear you are able to get in for your heart tests. I have a pile of health problems and have to take too many medications to list. As much as I detest taking them, I know that they are helping me stay alive so I take them (but that doesn't mean I have to like them)...LOL! Anyway on to happier topics. I completely agree with Rochester Management Services LLC. I love her idea of doing the words. I don't do much needlework now as I get older because my fingers aren't as nimble as they used to be, but this would be easy to do. I am a Newbie too, so I love that all of you share your great ideas and talents with me. I just LOVE that paper that you used @ 41:30 it is gorgeous!!! I hope your weather is still warm there. We got snow here the other day in South-Western Ontario, Canada. Blessings to you and yours

Yes I’ve made journals for those that are interested. Only granddaughters. One was a fairy journal and one Alice in Wonderland. If I was to do one for my grandsons, I’d do whatever their passion is..football, hockey or whatever. ❤️

[@cynthiahowell2381]

You did not need to make knots on the back. You just leave tails and glue them down with the backing. I do love the goodies you made this video and your Blue Fern Studio, Jane project is stunning. Can you contact Jen’s mother/Blue Fern Studio to see if we can get those instructions you are loosely using. Perhaps as a download when you’re finished Jane project is revealed.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’m sorry, Cynthia, I can’t be the go between for 36,000 people and those instructions. I think you should be able to follow along for the cover from the video and then you can add whatever papers to the inside that you choose. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful on this, but it just isn’t possible. 🥴❤️
