Making Multiple Journals - Part 2

[@cathyfamous1766]

Thanks Gayle for sharing your process. That has really helped me and your work is amazing! I love all your creations and conversations 😁💕

[@alyce-kayruckelshaus1224]

I really appreciate this series. I had been thinking that I need to do several at a time, like an assembly line, but was a little stumped on how to do it and maintain each journal's individuality. You've given so much good information here -- not only about how to do several at once, but also just technique and some artistic tips which are super helpful. Thanks so much for your generosity in sharing all your great ideas and wisdom. I'm truly addicted to your videos.

[@loismeyer9417]

I'm about to do a swap with a friend and she's VERY experienced at making Junk Journals and I'm still on the newbie side. I've been watching your KZbin tutorials now since the beginning of December and I have to say, Gayle, you are an AMAZING teacher and person. I, too, love your full length (not LONG) videos that show the "real time" it takes to put things together. Part 1 & 2 have been super helpful because now I realize that I should get my papers in order first before I jump to wanting to do the more "fun" things. Also, I have to say that I LOVE the way you laugh at yourself when you're doing things!!! It makes me laugh, too, and realize that this is a fun process and not to take it or myself too seriously. Nothing was "boring" because it's all part of the process and, like I said, it's great to see what it takes and also the real time it takes. Of course, I suspect you move a little faster than I may as I begin but I hope to learn how to laugh it off and just keep plugging away at it until it's done. Once again, thank you for being such a wonderful teacher and caring about your "subbies" out here that really look forward to our time "together" for each crafting lesson!!💜

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, Lois, for all your kind comments! Have fun with your swap!! ❤️

[@JosephinesDesigns]

The repetition is the joy in this journey!! ;) Love it all Gayle...k :)

[@JuniDesiree]

The covers are all so lovely. Having fun crafting with you as I watch this video series. I'm actually working on multiple journals too and there are nine of them - how fitting. And I put the side of the paper I like best on the front too. Same philosophy that it's the side you see first so I intentionally choose the side I like best - hehe.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Glad to be creating with you, Juni!! Like minds, I guess!! Have fun! ❤️

[@donnajenks7361]

I am loving this series, watching you make everything is enjoyable!! 👍🏻😊

[@jeanthobaben]

So many viewers don't appreciate the time you spent previously making eco-dyed and tea-dyed papers. Wow!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you! It all does take time...but I sure love every minute!!❤️

[@FunkOld]

Would love a tutorial on making all your different papers, so gorgeous!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Bonnie, I have a tutorial on my channel where I show indetail my process. If you get a chance, check it out!! ❤️

[@julieofcreativeartzdesigns9768]

I’m just loving this series, Gayle! And, btw.... you are NEVER boring! 🙂

[@cindyburst]

I’m so glad you’re back; this is sooo much fun. Thanks Gayle!

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

So many pretty papers. LOVE your eco-dyed ones especially!!!

[@deletethischannel16]

After watching these videos, they have helped me so much. I am loving the process and knowing how many beautiful journals I’m making all together. Thanks Gail!

[@junebamburg1704]

This video is great. Seeing more than one journal being made is helping me remember. You are so organized and fast. Everything is looking so pretty. Thank you for this video

[@karenhill414]

Thank you for sharing your amazing process.

[@artzology]

I am just so loving this series! Thanks for showing every step!

[@juneribbons5196]

There should be a love it button cause I do love all of them !!! I'm also love the eco dyed papers. When the lilacs bloom in going to give this a try. Also there is a rodadendrin right outside my front door that may be goid for this and of course dandilion leaves.

[@terrypi1]

I just love how organized you are

[@thecraftynook5203]

definitely not bored...love watching your process...and inner dialogue..:)

[@MissDaisyParsley]

This is a lot like when I make multiples of cards!

[@auntpamie4971]

I'm so excited to be along for your journal journey. I find it very relaxing to watch you create. Please don't think your boring. I want to see each step. Thanks. You have given me so many ideas.

[@meliB32]

I'm only on part 2 right now but I just love your channel and videos! Your voice is easy going and easy to listen to and I just really have enjoyed the first 2 making multiple journals so far. :)

[@sandyroberts8159]

Super video. Thank you.

[@jeannieferdinande5805]

Glad you explained why it looked so easy for you to do multiples...my mind wants to do the next creative step on one before I get to the next...even two is difficult for me...does storing the dyed paper in folders help them flatten a little more...thanks so much for the videos the are wonderful ❤️

[@nancybeebe7622]

Great Job Gayle. Thank you. I'm really enjoying it.

[@karensallows9348]

Your ECO dyed papers are amazing. I'm enjoying every minute of your series ! 😺

[@Kristenstilwell]

Thanks Gayle!! So glad you’re back!

[@danaclark8077]

You have a great system down, I'm loving this series to it's so helpful 💟

[@roksannastephens4375]

Thank you for sharing your paper organization, with like kinds in folders etc... Its helped me to do the same.

[@tuthillg]

Enjoyed crafting along with you today! Making a little Christmas book. Always fun times together! TFS, Gayle!

[@tfntexas]

I’m loving this series...great job!

[@VintageShabbyChic]

Gayle I am finding this series so exciting to watch WOW!!! Again you are amazing! Cant wait for part 3! Crafty hugs Janine :)

[@corinnecurtis5145]

Lookin good!

[@sherrysajdak5449]

As another person commented one of the things that made some of your work easier is having all of your papers organized, either by what they were or color. It seems such a simple idea and yet I never thought of that! Of course you also have some widely beautiful papers to choose from!

[@charlean_sherrod]

I super love how you do your multiples, when I’ve made them, I did every journal exactly the same, and it got quite boring, lol... I like that your are making them the same but different... way more interesting and fun. Thanks for sharing... I love this series. Big hugs

[@emileechristensen7342]

I think my favorite is the lake view on the front! Reminds me of the cottage my parents used to have!

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

Wow Gayle. You are one PRODUCTIVE Lady. 😊 You have some incredible energy. This is very helpful to see how you can do assembly quickly and efficiently. Whays neat too is that when u are moving this g=fast you are in a groove and you are very decisive. No agonizing over choices. 👍🏼 TFS.

[@stinaswansonakagiddygurl6720]

Funny as you are working your multiples I am working on doing the same. I've decided to throw together 4 journals for my brunch group. I used to be a group admin, so I am well experienced in mass mailings. It's great to use our past skills in the journal making process. :) Love crafting with you, Gayle.

[@WoodlandInspired]

Awesome video Gayle! I'm loving the step by step process.....Tfs

[@PinkOddBird]

Thx for sharing your way! 😉

[@thecraftynook5203]

Congratulations Gayle on the opening of your Etsy shop...good luck my dear, I am sure you will be a huge success :)

[@theramblincrafter]

Wow, you're a machine! You flew through folding those papers! (And YES I noticed you weren't here yesterday;-). Hugs~~Chelle

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

Wow great job!!!!

[@sallybookbunny]

Hi, Gayle! I'm catching up on older vids while you are on vacation. Love this series on making multiple TNs concurrently! Can you recommend a good Etsy source for eco dyed papers (not digitals)? Your tutorial on eco dying is in my watch list. But. like Montana, 'tis not the outdoor eco dying season where I live (in Maine). Thank you!

[@callan02ish]

I find that the “assembly line” way is relaxing.

[@annalba]

Great tutorial. I love all the folders with the papers I'm still trying to find a system that works for me.

[@cynthiamccoy845]

When folding the pages, then bundling them together, they don't line up evenly so I find myself having to trim them, and it's just a mess. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for all that you share!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Cynthia, you’re not doing a thing wrong. That’s just what they do as they stack in. In the next video, you’ll see that I put lace on the edge of the first page...hides any overages. Also, I end up cutting my middle paper.....it was just too long! I’ll get the next video uploaded soon!! ❤️

[@cynthiamccoy845]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct Thanks so much!

[@Anna-de4mu]

Love the assembly line 😊💕🌸what kind of mat is the one you have? Thanks

[@SageDeerborn]

I was just going to ask you if you ever trim off your pages to make them fit. How much can the lace stick out on a TN?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

onewhocrops Yes, I trim them as shown in the video, but if the middle hangs out too much I trim it...think I did so in the next video. 😁. The amount of lace hang over really depends on what you think looks good. No real rule on that one. Hope that helps! ❤️

[@meghanthimjon3027]

Ok love all your organization! Wow impressed! How did you dye the colored papers! So yummy!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Meghan, the colored paper is Kool Aid dyed. 😁❤️

[@cherimckinnie3767]

Never a boring moment, we’re all just trying to keep up with you, whew!

[@DebbieZagarit]

You are amazing Gayle. Just adore your process. Do you make Christmas cards like this too ? It’s how I do mine. Can’t wait to see your finished journals. Hugs xxx.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Debbie, I don’t make cards...well made a few when a friend was doing Stampin Up, but she moved away. I think I’m not precise enough for card making!! 🤪❤️

[@meilikilee]

am very interested and appreciate your time to share........just wish the method of using 'fast forward' with voice over was used with your multiple part videos....

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

meilikilee I appreciate the input, but I’m not a techie. I’m a one take wonder doing my videos. You get the good, the bad and the ugly....real life. You can always pull the video forward as you watch it. Fortunately, most of my viewers appreciate our “crafting together” time....because I am who I am and this is how I roll!! 😁😁❤️

[@sammcgowan76]

Everytime you dhow a cover I'm like oh that's my favourite no that's my favourite lol. They are all beautiful. You have the best selection of coffee dyed paper. This is an amazing series xxxxxx tfs sweetie xxxxxx

[@brendasmith-allen4601]

How did you make the ecodyed paper? Your journals are gorgeous!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Brenda Smith-Allen I have a video on my channel called Eco Dying Results and Techniques where I talk about how I eco dye. I think it will answer your question! Thanks for watching and for checking out the other video!! ❤️

[@carollaws838]

Hi Gayle, could you tell me what you use to colour your papers- the pink/ blue / purple? It looks lovely 😊

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Carol! Koolaid!! ❤️

[@carollaws838]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct Hi, thanks Gayle, not sure what the equivalent of that is in uk, but will have a look x

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’ve also seen pink avocado dyed papers, but not sure how to do that. Bet there’s a YT video on it though! ❤️

[@linniebabe99]

Loving it Gayle. Really missed you all the way from England when you weren’t here. How about some videos on how you make all your different types of coffee dyed papers...mine seem to be the same colour all the way through with no lighter or darker patches 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

linnie babe I do have a video on my channel where I show in detail my coffee dying process. Have a little search for it and I’m hoping it’ll be helpful to you! 😁❤️

[@linniebabe99]

Thanks. I watched it. It was great. 💞

[@olawysocka1042]

What kind of paper do you use for eco dyeing ing and coffee staining? Regular printer paper? I eco dyeing but I never got such vibrant colours. Did you use flowers or mostly leaves? All your papers look amazing!!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I use just plain old cheap Walmart brand copy paper for eco dying with some watercolor paper thrown in. My favorite plants to use are peony leaves, dogwood bush leaves, rose petals and leaves and geranium blooms. The secret I’ve found to vibrant colors is putting 6 to 10 drops of red food coloring in the water. Hope this helps! ❤️

[@olawysocka1042]

Gayle Agostinelli thank you! I’ll definitely try it :)

[@Kathyjones55]

Do you just normal printer paper for your coffee dyed paper?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yes, just copy paper. I get mine at Walmart. ❤️

[@Canadian693]

Thanks for sharing your process. What did you use to make the coloured paper? TFS!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Marieville55 I think maybe you are talking about the Kool Aid dyed paper. Made it just like coffee dyed except used Kool Aid packets in water. ❤️

[@Canadian693]

Thank you, what a great idea using Kool Aid!

[@sharona8737]

You make it look so simple! I take forever on one journal :( Do you have any video's on how you do the kool aid or eco dying paper?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Sharon! I dye kool aid paper just like coffee dyed and I have a video on that on my channel. I use half the packet of unsweetened koolaid for my 13 x 9 pan of water. Add more if it’s not dark enough. I’ll do an eco dye video next spring as I do it on the bbq and there snow here! ❤️

[@sharona8737]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct TY!! Looking forward to the eco dye video.....snow here too. LOL

[@valyvalou2270]

The word boring with you just doesnt work. I'm sure that we all feel the same watching you.....and it ain't boring 😁. I'm running late watching the series as I was away , this I'm not sure about a question that i would have for you hehehe. Will watch no3 and see if you mention the issue I'm finding i have. In the meantime thank you and hugs from the land if Oz.

[@cindytunstall2314]

I have a question. Do you use the actual pages from ideal Christmas magazine or do you scan them? I have acquired about 16 of them but they are in mint condition so i was wondering what would Gayle do. 😊♥️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

cindy tunstall I use the actual pages. But mine are all a bit rough. I totally understand your dilemma with using ones that are in mint condition! Hugs! ❤️

[@cindytunstall2314]

Gayle Thank you so much 😊

[@jeangreen1810]

I just wish I had all these beautiful papers to choose from but I haven’t so I’m making my own with inks and watercolours.😀 I’m trying not to be untidy or jump ahead so I’m not watching no 3 until I’ve got my papers done. I’m not, I’m not, arghh! 🤣

[@traciebennett6103]

That paper u made is so pretty do u have a video on that ?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

It’s Stamperia paper and Prima Lavender papers. I’m not sure exactly which papers you asking about. Some are coffee dyed or kool aid dyed. I do have a vide on coffee dying (and its the same process for kool aid dying). Search Gayle Agostinelli Coffee Dying and it should come up. ❤️

[@rhodalewis2766]

Never boring. My hubby is sitting here watching the MHSAA football pairing for playoffs. Our local high school is one of them, along with a few others in the area! I have to ask, do you iron your coffee dyed papers? I did some for the first time last weekend and boy they don't lay nice and flat like yours.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Rhoda, I don’t iron mine. I just put them in a file folder that is squished in with several others...once they are in that file folder for awhile, they are straight as can be!! (I don’t iron clothes anymore, so I’m not about to iron paper.....well, maybe I would cuz I love journals more than clothes! Haha!). Thanks for watching, my friend!! ❤️

[@FunkOld]

I didn't get mine made until I needed it, so I ran it thru my laminator top flatten it. I find it easier than ironing.

[@fernandachristensengama5245]

Put some vellum, dear. So festive. 🎈But love your resoluteness. Not spent15” on each paper...

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Fernanda, buggers, just don’t have a vellum that would compliment the papers. Oh well, coming together pretty well anyway!! Hugs! ❤️
