Gayle every time I watch one of your videos I want to run to my craft room and make whatever you are making! I just love your videos. I go to bed listening to your voice and I get up with your voice. Love love listening to you. Keep the inspiration coming.

Hi Gayle......I'm new here, but watch you every morning while I am crafting cards. I'm getting ready to open an Etsy shop with my vintage shabby chic cards and have learned so much from you. You are so sweet and so wonderful to watch and my daily fix for crafting. I find that we do a lot of things in common and have many of the same crafting tools. This is a happy day for me to finally join you every day ~ Debi

[@elizabethkerckhoff1259]

Hi Ms.Gayle!!! I folded a hanging file folder. It works great. I just have to trim the height of it. I will watch this again tonight so I can cover it with paper. I just bought a pretty card stock pad from Hobby Lobby. Did I need it? NO! Did I want it? YES!!! Yes always wins!!! Have a great rest of the evening Ms.Gayle!!! Big hugs!!! ~Liz~

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

How fun to have a make-along series. I will be crafting along with you and 18,000 of your subbies. 🤣🤗

Gayle, the file folder worked perfectly! I am working along with you. So much fun picking out paper.

[@marilyntorsch3970]

Love this journal. You are a fabulous teacher. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@MazzyDuck]

Gayle, I absolutely love these “craft (along) with me” videos. I usually turn on one of your videos and do some sort of craft. I am crafting this TN right along with you! Thanks so much for sharing!

This is going to be a fun project and I love using file folders. Looking forward to the decorating, Tfs

Hi Gayle!!! This is the first time I have used this already printed for you type of paper. And I LOVE it!!! I am using a 49 Market called Tattered Crackles. It's so pretty!!! Thank you Gayle!!!

[@brandythompson6544]

Oh wow!!! You started these!! Yippeee!!! I have a whole crate of these and I am ready to play!!!

[@sandraduggan8384]

Thanks Gayle. Rather than buying a bigger score board, try just using your paper trimmer. The groove works perfectly and you have the measurement guide too. I do this even though I do have a big score board, just saves back and forth stuff.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Great idea!! Thanks!! ❤️

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

My score board is to big for me to manage so always use my paper trimmer grove, works great.

[@lisafarley3020]

I bought this set of cookbooks recently. I’m thrilled with this video series. I have books if someone wants them.

[@yagottasingwithsusan]

You read my mind. I liked the blue side also. That paper is gorgeous. 💜

[@dlco4]

I’m so excited to start making one of these journals! Thank you so much for such a great tutorial!😍😊

[@deeleaman1839]

I was thinking of adding journaling pages to a file folder album I did last week. Not sure if the thickness will work as I folded up the bottom 3” to create pockets. Even if it does work I’ll be making one like yours as I just ❤️ the style of the pockets and the tuck spot on video 2 of this journal. Thanks for sharing your creativity!

[@cathybaldwin8764]

How fun are they. To cute..

[@pamketron]

Love the papers you used for this journal. They are really pretty. Great job with the file folder creation. Will have to make one of these. Fun series. Hugs! 🤗🌷🦜

Gayle the paper is beautiful and expensive with high shipping. I got it anyway! I wanted it so bad. I love love this.

[@westendglory9741]

I love all your videos. But this one especially because of the new camera set up. I like the view from above and this is the first video where I can hear what you're saying. I'm definitely going to make this. Looks like a great project for a beginner like me.

Love this video! Thanks so much!

[@katpaints]

Favorite moment -n 42:18 Oooh, that's pretty too though! LOL! I had to take an nap and when I wake up, I always look for what I had seen before. As that moment was approaching for the second time, I was looking forward to it and it was just perfect Gayle! I think I will be getting out a file folder and doing this! I enjoy something straightforward! ...and the world must realize hat I have way too many paper pads in my life! Need to work on using them up!

[@debraenea2227]

Great idea Gayle ❤️

[@loismeyer9417]

I'm not crafting along right now but I will DEFINITELY be making one of these!! How fun is that and out of a file folder!! Thank you for figuring it all out ... even if it means you need to talk to yourself at Retreats!!😂💜

[@tamisylvester2293]

This may be one of my all time favorite ideas! I think I may be able to do this! You are so amazing and do such a great job!!! This was just so lovely. May I ask, what would a fair price be for these be? By the time I get to your Etsy site your items are sold, but I was thinking I might like to duplicate this. I made your floral book a couple times and gave them as gift, they were a hit! Thanks for all your help and time. ❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Tami! Pricing is always a tough one. There are just so many factors that go into it. These might be a little higher because the paper I use was pretty expensive. I’d likely go $35 or $37.50 plus shipping on these. ❤️

[@tamisylvester2293]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct thank you! I appreciate your reply! Your so kind.

[@jrm2716]

I like to use fabrictac for some projects, as you do. How do you get it to flow out of the bottle so smoothly? I can only use mine by opening it up and dipping into it.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

It’s a new bottle so still smooth. Older bottles get gunky but can be thinned with acetone. 😁❤️

[@ceciliajimenez7927]

Gayle Agostinelli good idea

[@theramblincrafter]

This was so fun, I may just have to follow along, rest my brain, and use yours on a project. Bwahahahaha! Beautiful paper choice, I really should get some more paper (but I'll just use what I have, surely in 2000 pieces, I have something that'll work!). The struggle is real...😂😂😂Hugs~~Chelle

[@UandMeGod]

Chelle~ I totally understand your struggle. I am cracking up right now after reading your comment!!! Hahaha! I am right there with you saying "Oh-yeah I NEED more paper to choose from." with stacks and stacks of paper and embellishments staring back at me saying "what about me???" LOL

[@theramblincrafter]

Lol, YES, mine constantly stare at me 'choose me, choose me' while I'm searching on Etsy for my next set, sigh! LOL. I mean what do you do with all the paper? THEN I go to a thrift store and find hundreds of sheets more for $2, sigh...what to do, what to do? I've considered giving some to the thrift store, but my luck, I'd buy it back next time I'm there...bwahahahaha

Are all file folders the same size? My end flap is not as wide as yours. It will work but just wondering. I love this because I can do it along with You!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I think generally the letter size file folders are a uniform size, but maybe not quite! Yep, I’m thinking little ones of these would be fun too! ❤️

[@millievega372]

Hi Ms Gayle; what should the measurements be for each fold? What area did you fold for the binder? Trying to follow but I became lost quickly. This will be my first folder or album. Millie

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Fold your file folder in half on each side meeting close the the middle original fold of the file folder, making sure it will close as shown. I didn’t do measurements, because it could be any size. The file folder is smaller than the cover I worked on. Just make sure the “cover” , the portion on the far left, will fit over your other folds. I’m sorry you were lost. Maybe I didn’t explain it well. But really it’s just making three folds and spacing them so that the piece will fold and fit into itself properly. I hope that helps! ❤️

[@debbivaughn1313]

I love this pretty idea and the step by step instructions! Wouldn't it be cute in a purse to hide all the receipts in? Tfs.

[@jbeaudi]

I watched the video, ran to find a file folder, then watched the beginning again so I would fold it correctly. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Now to find the perfect paper to cover it with...
