Making Ephemera! - Playing with Goodies from Ceri the Crafter

[@MsBuddy16]

Gayle, Thank you for sharing your delight with us through your videos. You truly make my day watching all the fun you have making ephemera and all your treasures. Thank you and blessings -- Cindy

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

You are so right Gayle, just those little tiny things make such a difference, and seriously how much effort does it take to just say hello or toot and wave? So nice to be on the receiving end x

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

Oh my gosh! Those are all so beautiful! Awesome job Big sister! Good job Ceri on sending Gayle all those beautiful pieces that make her so happy! Loved watching this video! Big hugs! 🤗🤗🤗

[@lalagamma4452]

OMGoodness Ceri's Stupendous supplies and your creativity made this a win-win!! Everything came it EXQUISITE!! 🦋💚🌻🐌💛

The music paper sheets atop the envelope pile is just beautiful! Gonna watch!😚

[@CeriGriffiths]

Gayle you’ve lightened my heart seeing the pleasure you had from my Gayle Mail.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’ll be having more plays with everything, Ceri! Thank you for your generosity and friendship! 🤗😘❤️

[@lorieduff7126]

Ceri Griffiths hi Ceri! Can I buy the slides you sent gayle from somewhere?

[@sandratheprocraftinatorll1665]

Went to his channel, i was gonna comment but his comments are turned off 😳

[@marilyntorsch3970]

Such wonderful ephemera to play with. Keri has been blessed with talent too. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@cynthiahowell2381]

So fun to watch you having fun. Love what you and Ceri created.

[@enchanteddreams7166]

Quite Sunday, ( after work that is ) rewatching some of your older videos. Have a great day my friend xoxo hugs ❤

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Finally you were able to play with the pieces from Ceri. The photo strip thingies was just adorable. Boy, his digi lace looks REAL! The pockets came out lovely and I have never seen such straight stitching! How does he do that? It looks like if you pair Ceri’s products and your talent and ingenuity you can’t lose😄. Throughly enjoyed that. Have a great Sunday Gayle!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Kathryn! ❤️

[@isabelborrero-gonzalez3947]

Wow, Gayle! Everything came out so beautiful! I really love the touch of the lace printable on those pockets!!!

[@sharontilyard949]

Oh My... Love everything you made today Gayle!!! Ceri certainly has provided you with some fun goodies to play with. Love the photo frame so much I had a sneak peak while watching your video to see if I could see any online in Australia, but no luck sadly. Isn’t that the strangest hahaha. I will have to keep an eye out for them in store when things get back to normal here. TFS!!! Hugs, a Sharon 🌷💜

[@Melinda-S]

Those tags and pockets were amazing. It was so sweet of Ceri to send them too you. What you did to embellish them was spot on. Thank you for letting us share in your joy.

[@jetwasik1648]

Lots of fun stuff today. Thanx for sharing your talent everyday!

[@MG54321-a]

It's fun to watch you play and get in some virtual crafting (even if I can't get up the gumption to do any of my own). It always makes me smile (and get a little teary-eyed) when you pull out the word box.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

😘❤️

[@sharonlawler5834]

I think you need to think about makjng a journal using all the different things Ceri sent you. Has anyone suggested gluing your tissue paper with the right side on the self adhesive so the right side looks like a frame of the tissue. You could stain the frame any color you wanted. I always love watching you create all the beautiful journals and ephemera!

[@maggieflatt9686]

I like everything you made today, especially the small corner pockets. So cute!

[@bettyalbrent7060]

I love my UPS guy. He is awesome. His name is Jason. He also delivers to where I work. Just the most pleasant person. Been keeping him busy with the remodel of my craft room. Lots of cube systems and other storage being delivered.

[@mymommaandme]

You’re so smart to use the adhesive side of the photo frames to your advantage!

[@claudiafortimelesscrochet4u]

Such a beautiful cute project! For Jimmy Joe, I used to make a toy out of an old sport white sock for my son's dog. Open the sock and stuff it with an empty water bottle and tie the top of the sock real tight against the bottle. My son's dog loved it, the bottle will make a fun sound when they bite on it. We used to buy all the fancy toys but they would be shredded to pieces in few days. This one is a cheap alternative and will end up shredded anyways! :-)

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Such a great idea...I’m going to try it! Thanks! ❤️

[@claudiafortimelesscrochet4u]

Double the sock if you can, it'll last longer! lol.

[@robinpowell2712]

Lots of pretty things! You have great taste, Gayle, in crafts, dog breeds, and movies. Dirty Dancing is also one of my faves. Have a great day! 💗

[@kathmcmillen3217]

Awesome Gayle mail from Ceri!!

[@curtismoore2681]

That was fun, thanks for taking me along

[@brendaaller4069]

Love what you made Gayle!!! You inspire me so much!!! I just wish I had time to craft. Darn work getting in the way of my fun!!! LOL

[@karenpruis501]

I remember saying hello to someone and using their name. They were so pleased that they said, "You know my name!". Doesn't take much. Kindness and polite manners so important and valued by most people (not all apparently.). Glad you got a kick out of it. Stay happy and safe. Kind regards Karen.

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

oh Gayle these came out wonderful - so lovely - TFS xx

[@WoodlandInspired]

Enjoyed your video and Ceri's creations are fabulous and very sweet to send you to play with. I wish my mail person was nice all they do is complain, but here they are contracted and they drive their own vehicles and my girl drives with her legs straddled across the center console I don't know how she does it. Thanks for sharing & take care.

These are all so lovely! Had fun crafting with you! Working on my gratitude journal tonight!

[@kathleenbush6789]

Loved your video! Doggie toys that work best for our tough chewed grandpup are Kong products. Made in USA and soft, but durable. Anything stuffed or heaven forbid squeaking doesn't stand a chance with out boy. He has had 3 squeaky Kong logs that still squeak!

The last stuffed toy was Kong brand so I thought it would last. It did...two days! Lol! 😂🐶❤️

[@kathleenbush6789]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct LOL, never bought any stuffed Kong toys. Just solid rubber including his beloved Frisbie (only outside toy) that we only had to replace once and he will be 10 soon. I giggled when I read your comment. I now call your puppy Jimmy Jaws!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Aw, so cool! Hope he has done well! ❤️

[@610WIL]

Really enjoyed watching all of the ideas that cropped up for Ceri's great ephemera. :) When cutting out the squares of the photo frames, once you've cut the X, could you fold the triangles back over the frame to make a nice edge inside, and then trim off the leftover pieces that stick out? Hope that makes sense. I chuckled about one of your commenters mentioning that the mug shot was a relative of hers ;) Too funny.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yes! Great Idea! ❤️

[@theresasuttle711]

Watched you as soon as you posted and the denim bones were gone! Lol These turned out great - especially like the matching small pockets! So fun!!

You can get really cheap stuffed animals from goodwill ,wash it before giving it to Jimmy Jo and be sure they don't have the button type eyes.....my son does that for his husky😀 they go through a lot of stuffed toys

[@mymommaandme]

I’m a crazy dog lady here. Lol. Go to Chewy.com and look up Tuffy’s Polly Pig. They are expensive but they are the only stuffed toys that ever lasted in my house. The seams are all covered with an extra layer of protection. One lasted years.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks Julie! ❤️

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Glad you found out about the phone book not being copyrighted, what about the business that you pointed out in the phone book that was still around? Would that make any difference if they’re still in business? I guess it would be free publicity for them. I love those photo booth frames I searched for them online and can’t find any. I was looking for digital ones and for some reason the only ones I can find are in landscape orientation and I have old pictures of my cousin and our grandmother that I would love to put in those. I’m going to have to keep searching because they would look awesome.

[@marthamanigross]

Awesome!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Mixed media is just using multiple mediums in a project: paint, ink, fabric...all the things in any combination with a minimum of 2 mediums used. That's what I understand it to be anyway. I'm in NO way an expert. I think you should just do what makes you happy because that is a delight to watch! -Darcy

[@GwendolynsDabbledoosies]

Love what you made, specially that frame thingy which is something I haven’t seen before. Well I did see it when you showed us the mail but you know what I mean 😌 Talking about that frame thingy... the cutting out of the pieces/squares/whatsyacallit... There is a second step to making it easier. First to cut to the corners, then fold over the triangles you created to the back, snip of the pointy bit and glue the rest down on the back. Perfect edges. Hope you understand what I try to explain, maybe someone else has suggested this to you and explained it better, dunno 😁

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I do understand and great idea! ❤️

You should make one of your beautiful journals a KZbin idea journal and of course, film the process lol

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I have an idea journal (and video from a long time ago), but my idea journal turned into an idea baskets, which turned into several!! That’s why I decided to do the ongoing series Making Ephemera! There is a playlist on my channel. If you search Gayle Agostinelli Idea Journal, the old video should come up with that one. 😁❤️

[@sandratheprocraftinatorll1665]

We can totally make these boith frames, cut a rectangle shape use a square die and cut away BAM! Then those that have a xron can get the sticker back. Wow 8 boxes, you must get lots of surprises. I have die that cuts out film strip but TH pictures didn't fit either.

[@peggydid]

Did you make the butterfly pouch? Could you give me a link? Please! Thanks! Hugs!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Search Gayle Agostinelli Ephemera Folio on You Tube and the videos should come up. 😁❤️

[@catherinedeseton964]

How do you define journal making with your very altered pages, tags, bands. Or using things like fabric or other such substrates? I see them as total mixed media art making which is exactly one of the reasons I decided to look at this arena a couple of years ago. But in a way, what I do differently on about 90% of the time is I create my own materials for the journals...using my own photography, collage, assemblage, painted/printed paper and so on. I spend a lot of time expanding my art making to create even more original ideas, to use in different ways. But everyone to their own, I just find it interesting that during your May mixed media, you seemed to think it wasn't a good idea to use such paper/etc...

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

No material or supply is off the table for May. I just called it Mixed Media May because it was catchy. Just trying to introduce “classic” journal makers to some new ideas. 😁❤️
