Making Ephemera! - Fall Page Decor & Reimagined Book Page Pockets

[@anne-marie5197]

Hi Gayle, My husband went fishing for the weekend so Ive spent the entire time in my craft room. I finished LGB christmas books for my kids and one for my sister. I binge watched your ephemera playlist while working. Kept stopping my projects to grab scrap paper and make something new with you. thanks for spending the weekend with me, it felt like we were working on opposite sides of the same table having a great conversation.

[@debbiedowning2732]

I know you've heard it a gazillion times, but you truly have a gift. Not just your crafting ability which is fantastic, but your manner and willingness to share your life with all of us. ❤️

i read a few comments and am glad to know the tree cutting went well! i'm the same way gayle, i was so worried one of the roofers would topple off when we had a new roof put on a few years ago. if we ever need that done again-i am leaving for the day. pounding/hammering, footsteps, ladders outside the windows with guys going up and down, shingles being tossed all over. geesh! i get so nervous whenever hubby is up on a ladder/our roof. a few times when i've walked outside and saw him up on the highest part of the roof-painting trim-i burst into tears! then yelled at him to get down! (he tells me, "go back inside-i'll be ok) these guys! i'm glad it all went well at the Agostinelli home today! love the leaf pieces! enjoy your son/family visit and tfs and inspiring me. hugs

[@Jenny-W1910]

I wanted to share a tutorial i recently watched from Donna at Junk Journal Ideas (hope it's ok) she shows how she uses 1 double page from a book or larger piece of paper and makes pockets/tuck spots just by folding it up a certain way. i had to stop and try it half way thru, it's a great way to use pages from larger books, maps, etc here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmXcg4eql5mapJo&lc=z23ohzdhiyi0xj5qp04t1aokgt4jp5ilx023fsy43hm1rk0h00410

[@delgadojmar]

Everyday I learn a little bit more. Today it was about putting things together. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@billschildt4474]

Don’t worry about the tree guys, they are extremely talented professionals. It’s exciting, enjoy the process. I love the sound of the saws, the smell of the cut wood, and the ground rumbling thud of that first section to come down. Although I am always sorry to see a tree come down, I know it is necessary for safety. As you can probably tell, my dad was a logger. Enjoy it, take a deep breath and take in the smell. Save a piece of the wood and make it into an ornament or something. Get with it girl! Barb

[@brendalindstam447]

Very fun!! Yes, I hope we can do more of these. Love them!❤️ Good luck hauling that wood! Hurry back!!👏🏻😃

[@charlean_sherrod]

My friend owns a tree removal business, and they take them down in pieces and each piece is tied to a rope that they lower it down with, when there’s houses. So no need to stress Gayle it will be ok, and it’s actually fun to watch. Very safe. I love your book page pockets, great ideas there. Hugs

[@jennharts1]

Love the fall leaf thingys. I could tell in the last video how much you loved them!! So glad you shared your process, you are sooo inspiring!!!!!!

[@noradunlap7539]

“My husband is doing the wood all by himself while I pick at the glue goober. He would never understand”. I thought I would die! ROFL

Pretty! I love tiny roses also. You are so talented! Love your videos!

[@GodsDesire4me]

You are so very talented. I truly enjoy watching your channel. I am very inspired by the things you do.🤗🤗🤗💞💞💞

[@carolynkl7048]

I love your leaf snippets! they are so cute! It would be cute to substitute silk holly leaves for Christmas. These would be a cute way to embellish tags too! thanks for the ideas!! Carolyn

[@JeanetteHouse]

Now I want to foldallthethings!! 😂😍

[@MrsGigi]

Love the shabby chic style om those pockets. Fun idea with the leaves too. Thanks for sharing!! 💜🍁💜🍁💜

[@happymaker2243]

I like the book page pockets. They are really cute.

[@suzyemery]

Just love what you do with simple, little folded book pages! Since I started watching your videos, I began using a book to glue on, also. I have quite a few of those little pages now, Definitely gonna make some of these pockets soon. Will be nice to have on hand. Hope your tree trimming went well! Thanks for the share! Hugs 🍁🍁🍁Suzy

[@beejayoung1546]

Really cute! Great use for glue book pages.

[@nancykirk8913]

Great ephemera made with the book pages!!! So beautiful!!!! I hope the tree removal goes quickly so you can relax about that and have fun with your son and his family!!!! And, be careful with moving the fireplace wood....don't strain your crafting limbs!!!!!! Hugs sweetheart!!!

[@joannebarrett1639]

My prayers went up for you, your husband and all involved as soon as you told about the fire remediation.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you! It all went well! 🙏😘❤️

[@barbaradonaldson2774]

Hi Gayle, i am new to your channel and junk journaling. I love all your videos and I made a bunch of these little tucks after watching your video. I had so much fun making them. Thank you for the ideas and your videos. God bless. Barbara

[@angelikamenzel1068]

Aweeee you made the embellishments with the leafs underneath 😍😍😍😍 and I really try to make those book page thingys 😊😊😊

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

LOVE them! Thanks for letting me borrow your idea! 😁❤️

[@vickirn613]

Love all these, good luck with the tree cutting xo

[@iamwhatiam4075]

Fun little pockets & goodies. :) tyfs!

[@lindaclausen5477]

I love everything you did today 😍 You gave me ideas with the leaves 😍

[@NowTheresaCraftyIdea]

Love these pockets. What a great idea. Hope the tree cutting went well x

[@MissDaisyParsley]

These are great ideas with the book pages! I have to make some! Oh, and thanks for telling me about antique paperie! Yes, I went and picked up a bunch of her digitals! They are gorgeous and were on sale right now! Good thing my birthday is next week so I had an excuse!

[@SammiJarrad]

The little leaf snippets could be really cool as a Christmas decoration using a different color scheme. You’re so inspiring Gayle! I really hope you list more layering bundles. 😘💜👍🏻

[@vickiejensen1265]

Really cute pockets Gayle! TFS

[@charlottemarek3045]

I've had great luck peeling the plastic off of inexpensive silk foliage. I use the greenery on greeting cards, and have even experimented with inking the leaves to stamp on paper. We had a huge maple taken down in our yard a year ago. along with some smaller out-of-control trees. I watched the whole time (two days' worth). I was worried for the workmen and was praying for them the whole time. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw their trucks pull away from the house. When the crew chief came back the next day to present the invoice, he said that he had slipped and broke a rib when he was unloading his equipment back at the shop. We agreed I had stopped praying too soon!

[@lalagamma4452]

Gayle or Pam at the Paper Outpost, learn, giggle, crafty genius fun!!! Wasn't that glue goober a priority! 😂 These are all exquisite my dear. TFS ❣️🐞☮️✌️🥰

[@karensumner3772]

LOVE YOUR POCKETS/TAGS-YOUR VIDEOS ARE INSPIRING=TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS

[@lisalowe6922]

I really love your sense of humor, Gayle. " Well, I've already cut the tree, but do you think I should have cut it the other way?" My husband came in to see why I was laughing so hard.

[@craftydawk.janettedawkins7516]

You wouldn’t believe it I was getting a whole lot of pages folded into pockets tucks tags and journal cards last night ready for collageing tonight after a busy day today finishing a business administration course today. Nothing better to clear the mind after a full day at the computer . Thanks for sharing. Hugs xx

[@maggieflatt9686]

Good ideas with the book pages. I'm okay with another video of you doing more. Have fun with your family! :)

[@tfntexas]

Thanks Gayle I needed some inspiration!

[@kikidodson4c4l51]

Another great lesson! Isnt it great having something oositive to turn to when things make you anxious?! It sure helps me! Hugs! 👶🧘‍♀️🌲

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

The pockets and tucks are just so beautifully made. Love the little round clusters too. Those were adorable

[@annettecolagrande3736]

Haha, you make me laugh! I would have to be out there to watch or I would go crazy with worry. In my old house we had 2 huge old oaks and one had limbs growing close to the house and we had to have a crew come out to cut them out and I couldn't stay inside, I was afraid that a limb would come through the roof as they were cutting. Unfortunately a storm took the other one out several years later but it fell away from the house. I need to go back and rewatch when you made the little snippets, I just love them.

[@marilynziesmer287]

Love these new ideas, the leaf embellishments are too cute.

[@fraserkdm]

Love these ephemera videos

[@marilyntorsch3970]

Love the pockets and little round ephemera. So cute! Praying all is going good with your tree trimming 🙏.

[@jaynesills1248]

Love your Projects. You are so Cute, you crack me up!! Love to laugh with ya!! TFS. HUGS

[@luiseheinzl]

Very cute ideas! TFS

[@Weirder_the_better]

I’m definitely going to have to try and make some snippets of my own. How precious. 😊 I’m fairly new to your channel and have been binge-watching your videos all week, haha. I have been so inspired!!

[@melissashultz9448]

Love those book page pockets. I will be making some of them soon. I initially watched this video to find out where the paper you used was from. It is gorgeous paper. Thanks for the link. I just did some major shopping since her entire store is on sale. Yeah!!!

[@jodyconrad3763]

This is so cute. I am looking forward to more.

[@lindanagle3796]

Good morning Gayle, everything about today was great. These are turning out awesome and lots of ideas for us. Thanks for sharing. Hugs❤❤

[@lauragaudry3402]

No need to apologize for a little jiggle while gluing...the table isn’t the only thing that jiggles when I glue! 🤣. Thoroughly enjoyed you again. Blessings.😃❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

😂😂😂❤️

[@carollaws838]

beautiful Gayle, I really should pre make ephemera, but worry they may not fit the style of any journals I make xx

[@michelledekker7654]

I love those leaves. I like how unique and all the texture. Love it!! Thanks for using more book pages! Layered fabric bundles???? Oh I hope the timing is right. I loved those. Thank you for sharing!

[@tracielinz8385]

I'm looking forward to you making more of these! I need to use up the glue pages, and make more in the process! Lol!

[@jenlitscreations]

Love the fall circle embellishment. But antique paperie makes beautiful embellishments every time. Have fun

[@robinpowell2712]

How much wood would a wood chuck chuck...? None! Because it's time to craft!! Another great video on book pages! Thank you Gayle 😊

[@bernicechiniborch2600]

I needed some business cards for my first ever craft sale this weekend. I decided to collage some card stock and I printed up my name and phone number with my typewriter! They turned out great, I got the idea from watching you, thank you so much. Now to sell a few LGBs and I will be so happy. Thanks for sharing.

[@caroleblancher262]

Morning Gayle, Another fun video! Don’t hurt your shoulder loading firewood, okay? 👌🏻

[@karenmorgan4958]

I get so many good ideas from you. And of course it is ok if you make another video!

[@Sudlesuebaker]

I'm with you.....a real fire is the best!

[@lynnecoleman1135]

I love how you say uummm

[@tracyvernon2426]

Hope all went well with the wood moving mullarky :)

[@donnacastor7897]

Did you forget you were gonna wrap the double sided pocket around a page? I thought it was a great idea but I also love it sewn all around, You just have too many ideas in that sweet brain of yours! Keep em coming!

[@millicentoneill9549]

Another fun video Gayle. Don’t work to hard hauling wood. 💕

[@Freespiritarts]

Could you use the tall thin ones in a folding thing like everyone is doing. The ones with four or so tall ones on fabric.? Geesh I can’t remember what they are called! Actually I think you did one a little while ago maybe😉😉

[@WoodlandInspired]

Just re purposed items to save them from the landfill, thanks for sharing these ideas. I'm sure everything will be fine with the tree removal but I know its scary, we had one removed that towered over the house now that is really something but they know what they are doing.

[@joannesmith4593]

I totally understand the need to hide sometimes when there are 'home projects' happening around you. I live with 'home improvement projects' 24/7. I'm talking major projects, sometimes with commercial machinery. After 30+ years with my hubby, I have learned to accept them (recently) ...but have not learned how to 'not stress' over them. This is my home. Not a commercial construction site. I can tell you that I still leave or hide during certain events involving major machinery and lots of workers. Although, I will also tell you that I make a point of making a homemade lunch for every worker that comes to my home, every day they are here, no matter how long the project takes to complete. And I insist that they sit down and 'take a lunch’ They are so used to working straight through or taking 10 minutes to wolf down a sandwich and go back to work but I want them to know that if they are working in my home, they are appreciated. Sorry....I know this has nothing to do with crafting - . hahahh.... (I watch all of your videos) just wanted to share and tell you I totally understand the need to 'hide'.

[@adriawilliams8879]

Morning from Tulsa Oklahoma. Cold and 43*. Love love love your work. Looks like a trip to Hobby Lobby and Michaels is gonna happen today.

[@joycecrull8986]

have you ever done a steampunk journal? would love to see that.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’ve done steam punk mixed media projects, but to be honest, it’s not a style that speaks to me. 🥴❤️

[@craftythingsbyvikki6834]

Im doing an altered book with Antique Paperie papers right now! Love her papers.

[@lynnecoleman1135]

There u go

[@peggyeaton6601]

You don’t have to ‘’finish the thought’’. We do that for you. 😁

[@danacolosimo5874]

Love the little snippets so cute and what you did with the book pages … hope you didn't overwork yourself hauling wood : thank you so much for sharing :)

[@neorachana5604]

Love the leaf snippets. I like to challenge myself when watching craft with me videos to see if I can come up with variations on the items being made. Todays thought was not terribly original, just that some pockets could be tucks instead. I get it about gas vs wood fires. It reminds me of an interfaith couple I know: the Christian was more than willing to do an artificial tree, bt the Jew said if they were to gave one, it had to be the whole shebang...real tree with scent, watering it, decorating it....the whole 9 yards.

[@margaretcomella3318]

How did the tree trimming go?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

No casualties...human or otherwise! Thank goodness!! 👍❤️

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Gayle, have those grandkids cut all those fabric and laces for you. Set up a little basement sweatshop for them to help Nana out.

[@carolpiakak3830]

Hopefully you're using a rotary fabric cutter instead of sissors. If not, it would probably be easier. Love these new ideas. Tfs

[@gwenloveless]

Good morning! And Hi and Hugs to you! Love these and I have all the materials! I've got a UHU question. Some are purple glue and some are white, what is the difference? I see you use both!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

No difference that I can see other than you can easily see where you’ve put glue! 😁❤️

[@CeriGriffiths]

These would be a great way of using the snippets you made in your stash of ephemera.

[@irisluebbert5298]

How do you clean your glue sticky scissors? Make are so sticky.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Little alcohol wipes. Walmart has them in the pharmacy area. ❤️

[@derrihanson9876]

What is your terrific rip straight edge called?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

i wish i could get my hands on some of those leaves,let me know if you want to do a swap lol ;)

What is the name of the glue with the tiny nozzle?

[@JanTBaillieAndJansJunkJournals]

Well Gayle, priorities! Glue guber must be gotten off first, always?! 🤣🤣❤️

[@jennharts1]

Love his paper pack Love the roses. FYI...not a criticism, and really not a big deal, but the glue stick you are using is called "you-who". Just thought you'd like to know. Love your ideas of using all the gluing paper!!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Haha! You know I have my own language! 😂. I’ve heard people call it U - H - U glue too! 😂❤️

[@travelingmntngal7963]

Hey Gayle! Well, I did watch yesterday's video during my free time at the school. I was the gym teacher. After, I came home and generally, will get on my own computer to watch again and type something to you, but I fell asleep. I'm still feeling sick and yesterday it all started to flare up again. I just couldn't keep my eyes opened. So, here I am today, after another day of being the gym teacher. I am so sorry you weren't feeling too good yesterday after hearing about news from your friend. I just hope everything is going to be okay. I am saying some prayers for you and your friend on this. The little Fall thingies are really adorable. What a nice pop of color and so easy, too. So, I was viewing some other videos and found this series that I wanted to share from Emsplace. They are on eco-dying paper by heat pressing (either using a heat press or an iron). Em's eco-dyes are just wonderful, so I thought you might be interested if you haven't seen her work already. She also does flower pressing (if you go to her site, she has lots of videos on that, too). But really, I was amazed at her results using alum paper and heat pressing. She uses teflon sheets to put the alum paper between to press. The details on her prints are amazing: kzbin.infosearch?query=eco+dye She also does a video on preparing paper with the alum before pressing. She also has an Etsy site and does sell digitals of both her pressed flowers and eco-prints: www.etsy.com/shop/emsplacegifts Well, it looks like you are making some wonderful things with the book pages. I skimmed through, but need to get to sleep. Still not feeling well. I will be a business teacher at the High School tomorrow. I'm thinking that will be more of a sitting day...though, not sure...never know if the teacher will actually have me teach or just hand out an assignment for the students to do on their own... If it's the latter, I will watch the rest of this and your next video. Have a great Wednesday! God Bless! Sue

[@ShelleyCarlson]

🙂

[@theresasuttle711]

Awesome!!!! Did I miss the bundles???? Do you have a rotary cutter? Makes repetitive cutting so much faster. Of course then you’d need a self healing mat and acrylic ruler. I wish we lived close, I’d share mine. Hope the tree cutting went well!! ❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yes the bundles sold out Sunday afternoon. So sorry you missed them! I do have a rotary cutter and mat from my old quilting days. 😁❤️

[@kellys1722]
