Making Ephemera! - More Finished Unfinished Pieces

[@janetduchamp872]

Loving the ephemera videos. Jimmy Joe will be trained before you know. They learn so quick. My labradoodle Sandy is so sweet when I’m sitting in my chair she sits next to me and lays her head in my lap. Like Jimmy Joe lays on your slippers. So so sweet ❤️😊🐶

[@cynthiahowell2381]

Thank you, Gayle for all the time you spend with us. I know is sometimes difficult to give us so much of yourself. I appreciate every second.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Cynthia! ❤️

Beautiful pile of finished ephemera. I took a break from my own making and now it's back into it. Ephemera-to-be here I come. ;)

[@maryshaw737]

I'm a day late, but now enjoying this video! I love roses! So happy to hear JJ is doing well adjusting!

[@lindadoucet4435]

I had fun watching you make so many embellishments. Thanks. Everything is so beautiful.

[@claudiafortimelesscrochet4u]

Everything you made today is so pretty, flowers, birds, windows, always so unique to you Gayle. Thank you! Would you show us how you are making your digitals when you work on them? that will be very interesting to watch.

[@travelingmntngal7963]

Hi Gayle! It sounds like a new babe has definitely entered your home. But I bet Jimmy'll be trained in no time! He's such a fun puppy, aiming to please! Fun hearing the stories! So funny. My hubby falls asleep, too, when we're watching TV. I have watched Virgin River and really liked it. It definitely is geared more toward an audience of women. My hubby only watched a few episodes and I watched the rest on my own. I really like watching Annette O'Toole and Tim Matheson in this. Good roles for them to play. And the ending has me looking forward to Season 2. It's nice seeing you do regular ephemera once again. And regular journals coming up! I am behind still, but will catch up! Have a great hump day with Jimmy! God Bless! Sue

[@veronicawhite398]

Absolutely loved making these flips, Gayle. 😍 I made the first one using your example and the second I put the papers and ink on before stitching on the fabric topper. I found this a lot less fiddly but I forgot to cut the pockets too, so I used my paper trimmer, which solved that little oversight.👍😉

[@ivakimmell]

Would love to see how you made the Stamp folder you brought out near the end (at about min 51). Love watching you work I get so many ideas. Thanks!

[@deborahbrown2053]

Not only do I watch all of your videos, but I have purchased quite a few downloads from your Etsy shop. Keep up the good work, Gayle.

Love when you do ephemera videos. Window papers are beautiful. Thanks for sharing 😍🌴

[@robinpowell2712]

Always lovely ephemera! Love the neutral bird ones. Looking forward to new things in your Etsy shop. Hugs. Also really enjoying hearing about Jimmy Joe. Having to go out once in the night isn't bad. When my German Shepherd was a puppy, sometimes he had to go out three times during the night. I didn't get much sleep. For years it was once a night. Now he almost always sleeps through the entire night.

[@jetwasik1648]

Lots of goodies made today. So fun. The journals are going to be filled with wonderful things!

Thank you for sharing. I spend a lot of time on bedrest after chemo. You make the time go by faster.

[@donnakinmn1683]

You never seem to run out of ideas and just whip through your ephemera. I love watching every day because there's always something new to see and learn. Love your Jimmy Joe stories - a new puppy is a joy and a challenge but they give so much pleasure. I watched Virgin River also and really liked it. I read that they have filmed a second season but it won't be out until September.

[@sharontilyard949]

Some great pieces of finished ephemera created in this video Gayle!!! I have had a play with the waterfall envelope... and love it!!! Thank you for the inspiration!!! I’m thinking of leaving mine as a deconstructed waterfall though lol. I found mine was very thick and I am still to add cards/tags... so mine may remain single waterfalls. I do reserve the right to change my mind though hehehe. I hope you’re having a blast at Creativation 2020!!! Big hugs, Sharon 🌷💜

[@cindymatthewsarrowdalearts6449]

Gayle, when you were working on the long piece your granddaughter did, with the blue, I was sending all of my mental power for you to look at your glue book and see that nifty little glue motif at the beginning of that chapter! :-)

[@annettecolagrande3736]

Love using up scraps, I find I will find something that I really liked but forgot all about. I really enjoyed the series Virgin River as well, it started as a book series by I believe it was Robin Carr (?) I think...I may read it. Need something to pull me in until the next Outlander book comes out in October, I will have finished my re-read of the series before then. I hope you enjoy your trip, sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Safe travels!

[@melodywilloughby4041]

I am working on my sewing pile and watching you create. Lots of good ephemera today. Thanks Gayle. 😘😘

[@deniseroot7105]

Still watching all these and taking notes. I took all my stamps off the wood blocks and store them on plastic sheets in zip lock bags and store with all my other stamps. Takes a lot less room. I covered a box with scrapbook paper with a tall back and store them in it. I need to make another box. The stamps are in there tight.

[@jbeaudi]

Lots of lovely ephemera for your journals! Jimmy Joe sounds like such a sweetheart! I love that fell asleep on your foot.

I love Virgin River too. I decided to try to collect all 20 books to read since I’m not sure when season 2 will be coming out.

[@Jenny-W1910]

Hi gayle-only half way thru but wanted to say hello and goodnight ;-) will finish watching in the morning. so fun to hear Jimmy Joe stories. I think when we had a puppy many years ago, we would take her water dish up to limit how much she drank before bedtime... It sounds like everyone is doing great! we LOVED Virgin River!!! so sad when we finished the last one, I hear they will have a season 2 later this year. i sure get a kick out of the character named Hope (i think she's the Mayor) Great series. past my bedtime, tfs and being here big hugs xo

[@Jenny-W1910]

Good Morning Gayle! I woke up thinking "oh! Gayle's video-need to finish watching" ;-) You really got a lot done and everything is so pretty and fun! Have the best day-snuggles to Jimmy Joe xo

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yes! Hope on Virgin River is hoot! She sure causing problems meddling! Not as bad as Connie though...that woman, oh my gosh!! Anyway, I’m looking forward to the next season too! Yes, we’ve been not giving Jimmy any water after dinner. Just like the kids when we were potty training...Lol!! He’s been doing well. Hubby gets up with him in the night as he gets up for himself anyway! I saw on a training video that the rule of thumb is an hour for every month old they are plus one. So Jimmy is two months old, so he can go three hours before having to go. So by the time he’s six months, he should be able to go all night. It really is like having a baby again!! Love him to bits though!!! Hugs, my friend! ❤️

[@Jenny-W1910]

Thank you Gayle for the time you spend showing us your beautiful techniques. I love the soft covers with the quilted material.

I made two waterfall’s, one I’m going to turn upside down and use as pockets. Would a harness work on Jimmy Joe instead of a collar around his neck, the leash hook would be on top. I brought a Velcro wrapped harness off of Amazon, pet stores might have them too. Easy to put on. 👍❄️❄️❄️

Gayle, I am also in puppy training mode. Charlie is 13 weeks old and more challenging than his 20 month older brother was as a puppy. House training in winter is NOT a piece of cake, but he is starting to get it. A word about the spray to deter furniture chewing, in case you aren't aware. It has to be sprayed everyday for effectiveness. That said, however, the method is not full proof. Ask me how I know....... Best puppy wishes to you!

[@theresasuttle711]

Jimmy Joe is so used to having his ‘pack’ around him! I’ll be glad when he’s leash trained so that he can go with hubby! They say to leave a short leash on them when they’re just playing in the house so they get used to it. I don’t really know if that works though. I think that they just have to get used to it. Our doxie mix didn’t take long to train. Our Yorkie (who was 11 when we adopted) does great on his leash. He actually doesn’t need a leash as he is never more than a step away from me anyway. Lol Great ephemera finishes! Thank you for sharing!

[@catherinedeseton964]

When I first started out I did 't need much storage space for almost everything, but I think I need to consider better and organised storage for those objects that don't make it into whatever the current work is...the concertina folders from the other day look like a good idea...although not for kit/paper as I mostly make my own but maybe for colours or other...

[@mercysawme1]

I know you are having fun with Jimmy Joe. If I can offer a suggestion....crate games are a great way to teach a puppy not only to like his crate but to WANT to go in his crate. You can find ways to play crate games on KZbin....games are so much more fun than trying to train!!!

[@LynsAlteredArts]

I love that you’re using up all your little bits. I was watching you last night in bed and the Internet went out so of course I decided I might as well just go to sleep so I tell Alexa to turn off the bedroom light but of course she wouldn’t do it with Internet out so I’m laying there all warm and cozy and cuddly trying to decide if I should get up and turn the light off or just go to sleep with the light on or just wait until the Internet came back on. Talk about first world problems! 🥴 I went to sleep with the covers over my head and the light on and I woke up a little while later the Internet was back on so she could turn off the light, man I’m lazy. 😬

Try leaving the tv on or some music on so he can hear things around him and maybe he won’t think he is completely alone. As far as the potty training, If your home, just start taking him out very 1 1/2 -2 hrs and especially after he eats. He’ll finally get the idea.

We couldn't kennel our dog and be home either. Because she could smell or hear us still being home. She did fine if we left and went to the store. We even had a neighbor come over and stand out side s house to listen if she was crying and or barking while we were gone. She never did. But boy if we were home she wanted to be out of that kennel. She was fine at night if we went were going to bed being in the kennel. Matter a fact she would sit by the stairs that went to the kennel and our bedroom of it was our bedtime time and was still watching TV a little bit longer then normal. Jimmy Jo sounds like he is loveing his new owners and just want to be were you all are at. Never heard of that spray Sour Apple.

I mean i dont mind how it looks and im not selling them so i think if i find the look fine why cant i use them? I had a very dog chewed the paper edge look goin on so i had to keep choppin. Lo.

I'm only partly through the video so far, but I had a random thought. Maybe it's all your bunny stories, but I'm kind of surprised you don't have cut-out bunnies in your animal ephemera folder. My half-asleep brain went something like, "That's a cute idea to stick some birds and butterflies on those journal cards. Goes great with the window ephemera. Mrs. Gayle should put a bunny on one since she sees bunnies outside her window all the time. (Then you opened up your ephemera folder.) Wait... there aren't any bunnies in there! Why aren't there bunnies in there?!" Lol had to share. I better finish this tea and video so I can think properly today.
