Sleepy but fighting it to see your video. 🌛

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

😂. I’ll still be here in the morning, my friend! 😂❤

[@Ann-eh7ii]

Your videos are the first ones that I watch every morning with my coffee. Your cluster making is beautiful. ❤❤❤

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, Ann! ❤

[@theresamccarter1124]

Let me tell you…I am absolutely loving this set of videos! The waterfall has become my new obsession. I have figured it out and am making sooooo many! I am making a bright, colorful one to use up some of my Happy Planner stickers ( I have about 30 stickers books 😮). I had a serious case of fear of using them, but that’s exactly what their purpose is. So…they are all fair game now. Thanks so very much for the inspiration…as usual.

[@carolynchatham6376]

With so many pretty things to choose from it’s hard to decide which to use. Every one was pretty. Thanks for sharing your time and talent.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, dear Carolyn! ❤

[@janinewoodhull3611]

Cute!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Done!! 👍❤

[@freidagepner2370]

Clusters like doing collage it is calming and rewards you with many pieces to decorate with. A win win! Very pretty journal cards with the clusters.

[@sueataylor8754]

Good morning Gayle Happy Zen scrappy Saturday! I'd be happy to watch you stamp words phrases and numbers on your book page scraps tomorrow. I would also be happy to watch you decorate your to-do box all week long. Have a great day, weekend with the grandkids.

Hi Gayle. It’s 11:02 in California and I was looking at You Tube and I saw that you just posted your Scrappy Saturday video and it had only been up a minute. So I thought I would say hello. I love your videos and I wanted to post to your channel and leave the first comment!!!!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Carolyn! Thanks for being here and for your comment! ❤

[@sharonwalbeck6913]

Now that was some crafting. I like seeing more efficient use of your space and time. Using more items on your table was great use of space. Great fun. SHARON

Such a great way to use up scraps, both in the clusters and the collaged bases. I enjoy watch the process. 😊

[@beverlynielsen6714]

Good morning Gayle. Your clusters always look so nice. I need to practice more. You were able to get a lot done today. That will make you happy. Hugs.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Beverly! ❤

[@nancynorris9822]

I love scrappy Saturday! Your clusters are all so pretty! I'm always drawn to the ones with fabric or doilies on them. Probably b/c my first love is sewing/quilting. 💕TFS🤗

[@heatherdenise1975]

I need to do this! I've never made clusters before and I've been making journals for 4 years! Thank you for the tutorial Gayle! 🤗😘

[@donitamoore9748]

What fun today was. Thanks for the inspiration as I need to make some clusters. Seems like I have a hard time just getting started on them. Once I do I get in a rhythm and have fun. First I need to finish up some collage, I started in a 45 page booklet, that came from a college my grand daughter was looking into. Have a blessed day!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

You too, Donita! ❤

[@debbiebooker1407]

[@carolpowerslavenderdreamsc1599]

Good morning Gayle!! This was a very productive scrappy Saturday. So many beautiful clusters that finished off journal cards. Fun to watch them come together!! Im off to craft shed to finish organizing all my Tim Holtz goodies. Got the bright idea to separate them into sizes. Taking me forever!! 🤣 But hopefully finish today and clear my counter top. Have an awesome Saturday...💜

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Carol! ❤

Hello Gayle, enjoyed the scrappy cluster making, they are all pretty. TFS

[@carolm4094]

[@cassandracleveland]

I’m envious of how quickly you can put things together 🥰 and they always look so beautiful! I tend to way overthink things 🤪

[@jennifershaw1815]

You're just so amazing to watch. Just love you to pieces.

[@stacieallen83]

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks so much, Stacie! I’m glad you’re here! And glad you’ve jumped into the wonderful world of journal making! Last I looked, I had over 2,400 videos, so there’s lots to watch! 😂. Have a great weekend! ❤

[@vernmcdaniel395]

Hi Gayle. I am crafting with you today. While you are making clusters I am trying fabric paper covers for the first time. 4 down 1 to go. You weren’t kidding when you say you go thru the modpodge. 🤞they turn out!!! Hugs💜💜💜Vernie.

[@sandimeacham3878]

Thanks, Gayle…You always inspire me and lift my spirits! It is a joy to wake up and watch your videos. I learn something from you every day.

Everything looks gorgeous! ❤🐇

[@djfields58]

These are beautiful. This video put me in the mood to make some. Thank you.

[@SixteenThirtyFive]

We quilters call that assembly line sewing. That’s how I learned how to make a quilt with Elenor Burns “Quilt In A Day” method! Love your videos! I always learn so much! Thank you for being here for us!

[@2sistersjunkjournals]

It's 7:30ish so I'm hungry for some breakfast and coffee. Always love your clusters. I'm not sure why but I have a 'block' when I make them... but I'm going to try again.

[@brookerohleder6769]

Great ideas to do a bit of playing tomorrow ❤️

[@lindahyem5804]

That was fun! I made 4 clusters while you made all yours. I am having to search for the right scraps. Hugs

You surely outside yourself on productivity in this video! Fascinating watching you pluck pieces from your scraps and laying them down so confidently, with minimal tearing or fussing. And every single piece was beautifully curated. Like some perfect dream. Thank you, Gayle. 😍 Belinda xxx

An amazing Scrappy Saturday. I was watching it in the afternoon because I went to the church for a group that does quilting. It's the first time I've been able to call in a long time was so good to see people. And I like your long clusters such a great idea

[@heathersullivan8494]

Hi Gayle. Just lovely. It must be such a great feeling having all those done and ready. Sometimes when I’m working on my current journal, I find it hard to come up with things. I think it would be easier if I mass make many things and then pick from that. Have a wonderful day. 😊

Well after watching that video I now understand what the clusters r used for, what a fan video I have learned so much already but this is adding to it and I am loving my junk journaling journey so far and no doubt I will a hell of a lot more from u, as u have a way with finding things to do with all the tiny bits we never throw away so its always a learning day for me when I watch u Gayle and do love the way u bring things together xx

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yay! I wondered from your last comment if you hadn’t yet finished the video! 😂. Glad it came together for you! ❤

[@lululove43]

Hi Gayle ❤

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Lulu! ❤

[@jtschmack]

I have sewn some scrapbooking layouts but not with my new craft😂. I love the idea for looks but never thought about how much gluing time you save with this assembly line clusters

[@debbievanmeter-jerseygirl374]

Just getting back from a retreat and playing catch up on your videos. T was wondering if you ever tried a horizontal collage strip like you make vertically on tracing paper/parchment paper? And would something like that work for this? You are a joy to spend time with and so inspiring! 😍❤

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yes! I have done a horizontal tracing paper strip! And, you’re right! They are perfect for decorating journal cards. It’s funny, the horizontal direction makes it more difficult for me to decorate the strip for some reason. My eye just doesn’t see it as clearly. 😂❤

[@sandrastacey2285]

It’s called chain piecing Gayle. Love the large clusters. Would it work if you used index cards as the base and decorated the fronts with the scraps, could they be used as a journal cards or would they be too hard to journal on ? My head is spinning with ideas, thanks for the inspiration. 🇦🇺

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I think index cards would work great! ❤

What a great job, Gayle! I hope to see a video with 3D tag toppers. I havn’t seen you making tag toppers for a long time. Are you dropping it?

[@mitchelllinda9115]

Gayle, do you ever "press" your work to get a smoother look in collaged items? If you do...just thick books? Or, do you have a better method? Thanks!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Every now and again I’ll pop something under a book if it is curling. That’s about as far as I go though. 😂❤

[@kathygarnett5115]

I want a donut, getting ready for work

[@janinewoodhull3611]

These are lovely! I'm not sure I could journal on the backs, as most of them are so lumpy. Are they just for interest, instead?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

They are nice and thick and easy to journal on the back. The lumps don’t bother because of the thickness of the journal cards. 👍❤

[@janinewoodhull3611]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct Ahh, I see. Thanks for the explanation!

[@ramonalee1832]

Where did you get that beautiful gold background paper?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

On the tag? That’s one of my gelli prints. 😊❤

[@ramonalee1832]

I could not find the gold background paper shown in the video but I did buy a few of your lace papers which are that color. If you could share a link for that particular paper, I will buy more. Lovely, just lovely.

[@stacieallen83]

What would u use the cluster's for xx

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

As shown mid way in the video, they are to decorate journal cards that will eventually go in pockets of my journals. ❤

[@scribevibes]

Ok so I am a little confused here. Your pocket is collaged on with pretty papers. Then you are going to basically make small collages out of pretty papers to cover up you collage pretty papers on your pocket? I don't get it. I would put those pretty paper Clusters on something more plane to really showcase them. For the collage pockets I would use a lace cluster, or put an image on it with maybe some lace, cheesecloth, fabric behind it. Even just a small crochet piece would be nice on your collage pockets. Anyway just sharing my thoughts. I am not saying that it's not pretty to put your collage cluster on your collage pocket. Also a label with some cheesecloth would do. It is definitely pretty. I am just saying that they are so pretty as is. To cover one up with the other for one you can't really see that you have a paper cluster on there because it blends in with your collage background. Two it seems like a waste to cover up your pretty collage pockets with another collage. Does that make since what I am saying? Anyway hope you are having a great day Gayle Hugs

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

To each their own, I like the layered look. 🙂

[@scribevibes]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct I do to. Maybe it's my eyesight but what I was saying was that I can't tell that it's layered. The callodge piece on a callodge piece blends in with one another to me.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

@@scribevibes you can see the layering in real life. 👍
