Making Multiple Journals - Part 1

[@joannedonovan9489]

Hi Gayle! Those are gorgeous!! I'm looking forward to watching all the way thru! Thank you!!

[@catherinecarey4897]

Love Prima and Stamperia. Always very pretty and your journals are absolutely beautiful xx

[@CarolMartineArt]

This series is going gang busters already, Gayle. Smiles to you, Carol

[@Paintspotsandpaper]

Just watched this video and found it so informative as I’m only just starting to make journals for my Etsy shop but wasn’t sure how to go about it and also how to batch make them, can’t thank you enough, off to watch the next one now! Only recently found your channel through something that Cat Hand said about altered books. I’ve been watching your videos solidly for over a week and learnt so much. Take care and stay safe x

[@Liz-ov8lb]

Love the way you show on how you do your journals and how easy you make it look. (Which is a lot of work). Thank you for your videos.

[@scrapbookpramim]

I can't thank you enough for all you teach me... Soon I will contact you for Digitals matter. Greetings from Brazil! 🥰🇧🇷🧚

[@chrispfeifer9235]

Gayle, you are so generous to share your process. I love the Pink Stamperia paper. Look forward to your next video.

[@conniesholl3409]

You make it seem so easy! Thanks for all the inspiration and knowledge you share!❤️

Thank you for doing this Gayle it’s very inspiring. Addicted to watching your videos

[@cherylrymer6782]

Gayle I love watching you work or should I say consider what to use and where to place it. It is so me! I spend more time deciding those things than it takes to put it together - love it. On to the next video - I have to catch up since I just started this series. Thanks so much for doing these.

[@maureenfaye4230]

Sooo glad to have you back! I watched your other series while you were gone. I am doing a journal with the same paper you have for Christmas. So i am seeing what you are doing with the 3 journals. Happy journalling!!!

[@tfntexas]

Thanks so much for doing this series... I haven’t made many journals and it’s helping so much for making more than just one at a time. These papers are so ridiculously beautiful and the images too! Looking forward to seeing the next steps!

[@heidifeldt2262]

So glad you're back! I hope you had a great trip!

[@ddladybug]

Thank you for sharing this tutorial....I sometimes embellish the covers and other times I leave blank & add the goodies when shipped for the recipient to add ... enjoying you tutorials - so creative and easy to watch & follow! ❤️🐞

[@jeangreen1810]

Loving these sand I’m making four TN notebooks alongside you with two A3 pads from Crafters Companion. Thank you Gayle for allowing me to craft with you. 😘😘

[@jeangreen1810]

Gayle does it matter that my TNs are nearly 6” x 12” and should I cut them down. I love the size and don’t want to lose the gorgeous patterns on these gorgeous papers. They are called Blues and Lilacs and Pinks and Peaches. Xxx

[@debraenea2227]

This was very helpful, thank you Gayle. I have both of these paper pads. Will absolutely give this a try.

[@tuthillg]

Welcome back, Gayle! Enjoying your process! TFS!

Welcome home, Gayle !! I'm loving this new series !

[@jeanniesantiago462]

I just bought the Stamperia pad and it is gorgeous!! Great tutorial on how to get organized and create multiple journals which I struggle with. I’m looking forward to crafting along with you! Thank you for sharing 😍

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

They all turned out SO cute!! Love the paper you used. Thanks for sharing this.

[@LedgerAndLace]

Great to see your assembly line creative process, Gayle! So organized! :-)

[@mprairiedale]

Fascinating how it all comes together...like juggling!!!😉

[@valyvalou2270]

Fantastic, fabulous ..Thank you for doing this series, cant wait for the other videos. This is fantastic to see your process as I would say a few of us do a journal one by one, so this is a " must know how to " process on how to achieve many journals at the same time and bring a flow on working positively without losing creativity. A big hug from the Land of Oz. Val

[@thecraftynook5203]

Love this series...making multiple journals...wow..and they are so gorgeous Gayle. Thank you so much for sharing your craft...you have such an amazing flair for this..:)

[@craftycat7212]

So glad you are back! I love the way you fixed your bobbin boo boo, I have done that multiple times and wasn't sure how to fix it. Thank you😁

[@bohemianoctopus8583]

I truly enjoyed watching you do this for a couple of reasons: 1.) I've been toying with the idea of doing multiple journals at the same time but have been overwhelmed with how to do it, and 2.) I, honestly, LOVE doing journal covers the most. I do enjoy the other parts, but the covers are always my favorite. Thanks for sharing all that you do. Maybe one day I'll work up enough courage to do videos and I hope they are as helpful and pleasing as yours. :)

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

PilingUpPapers so glad this video was helpful to you!! ❤️

[@allywhitecat]

I enjoyed watching your video. I love that brand of paper. Thank you.

Hii Gayle- Just back from a wonderful trip to Sri Lanka . I used a traveler's notebook while away so perfect way to start playing catchup with this series.

[@angelikamenzel1068]

I always looove you saying “... a little bit of extra something....“ 💓💓💓

[@PinkOddBird]

So cool Gayle. Also very similar to the way I do this exact process as well! Definitely interested to see what more you do in the other parts of the series.

[@sharont1347]

Hi from Scotland, fab to see you back. I actually craft in bed on a tray when I am able...fibromyalgia+fatigue. I am making brown Kraft bags/sacks for future journals this Sat afternoon and binge watching your vids since you came back 😁 you are such good company thank you 🌸 x Ps. You have been the biggest inspiration for making journals ...now addicted 💐💐💐

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you for your kind comment, Sharon! Thinking of you and wishing you lots of good days where you can craft. Big hugs! ❤️

Ran out of bobbin thread sewing around a double file folder today. Not sure if I can use your fix on mine because it is on the spine. Thanks for sharing your mishaps and giving us tips on how to fix them. It really helps. Sage

[@corinnecurtis5145]

Lovely covers!!

[@juneribbons5196]

Happy to see you and that everything is good at your house andvthatbyou enjoyed your vacation I love the items that you make. The travelers notebooks are awesome. I've done the multi projects with one paper design. I also mix and match papers.designs and ive got 7 junk journals that mostly need a few more different papers and sewed into the journals. Love the book plate. Where did you find it ??

[@VintageShabbyChic]

Hi Gayle I must say you make it look so effortlessly and again I am so impressed by your organization - I would never have thought to have a bag of paper squares / shapes!! Certainly inspirational to me because I am always looking to work smarter and more efficient in my work space which is smaller than yours but well loved. Oh I do love that Prima paper its beautiful!!. I cant wait for part two of this series; you are amazing!! Crafty hugs Janine :)

[@Canadian693]

Love it and love this paper. Have to see where I can buy some. TFS!

Awesome ideas for making multiples

[@B311adonna]

Ahhh I’m so excited I was able to find the Pink Christmas pad and cards from a store near me and they’ve shipped it already!! I was nervous at first to order online but when I saw they took PayPal I knew I’d be ok if they were a scam!! I can’t wait to get this and a few other things I’ve recently ordered. It’s going to be an epic pastel Christmas journal lol 😝 thanks for sharing the things you do Gayle. I’d never get such great stuff if it wasn’t for the things you show, enabler!! I’m kidding lol many blessings!!

Gayle ! I got it, I rewatched the video and I have all the measurements. Thank u

[@henrybrown2382]

a wonderful tutorial. I always look forward to your posts. What size did you cut the covers and middle insert for the travelers notebook. Thank you Sue Brown

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Generally, 8 1/2 tall by 9 inches wide (folded 4 1/2 inches). The lavender are a bit less as the paper is not as wide. ❤️

[@chrispfeifer9235]

I'm watching part 1 again while I trying to organize all the stained paper, printed paper etc. (It's a real struggle to find what I need with the different collections etc.) How do you organize all your paper? I'm a messy crafter but I like my supplies to be organized.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Chris, I have several little wire shelves that hold my paper. Scrapbook paper organization isn’t great....stacked on top of one another. But 8 1/2 x 11 paper, coffee dyed, etc. is in file folders on their own little shelves. Workable, but not ideal. 😁. We each have to work within the space we have though, right? Hugs! ❤️

[@ljc.youtube]

gorgeous papers, and that rose trim, so pretty. I think bobbins are obsolete, they need to think up a better way, your journals are wonderful... with this series, I found the answer to my other question, that victorian paper is from the pink christmas series above, with every page I am oooo'ing and aww'ing :O

[@AFREEME22]

Hey! I really missed you. Now I have to play catch up on your videos.😁

Nancy, I got it on Etsy, can’t remember which shop. Now when I search “Stamperia Christmas” I don’t see it... only the journaling cards. I’m thinking it’s sold out. Maybe try Amazon? ❤️

[@karmenburke6044]

I always enjoy watching you! Do you ever use mod podge or something on the cover of your TNs? I'm very new to this.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi haven’t used any Mod Podge or anything on TN covers. I do sometimes put Matte Medium on a digital print or book page or any thinner paper that I put on a journal cover to protect it. ❤️

[@sabinerie]

Lol... why didn’t you use the back side of the little cardstock after stamping not straight? I like to follow your instrucciones, TY :-)

Hello Gayle, I have just discovered you.I am very new to this craft.. I love, love . love what you do. You are very inspiring. I do have difficulty hearing what you are saying sometimes it must be when you turn away a little from your audio source. I turn everything up to the limit then nearly scare the dickens out of my self when I watch something else, lol Please keep on inspiring us with your beautiful works.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Rhonda and welcome to my channel. The sound thing can be weird on different devices. I’ve heard from others that ear buds help and that there is a setting in You Tube for volume and if that’s down, then it’s hard to hear sometimes. I can hear my videos perfectly at two or three notches of volume on my iPad. Hope you’re able to figure it out! ❤️. I am soft spoken, but the vast majority of my viewers have no problem hearing me. 😁❤️

Lovely journals so far, Gayle - 9 at once. Kind of like those few occasions I went to play Bingo with my mom and she'd run 16 cards to my 2. ;-) I have a question, though. You used Stayzon ink - is there a reason? I'd have thought VersaFine or Memento would have been fine, and they aren't as expensive to use. Inquiring minds...

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Cindy, yes, either ink would work...just wanted permanent. No real reason for using StazOn instead other than it’s what I have! 😁❤️

[@fernandachristensengama5245]

Dear! Welcome to your craft room. Missed you so, so much. I love to travel but the best part is going back and sleeping in your own bed again. Hum... and still having all the great memories. I watched ALL your videos today. Sorry but I’ve saw that your airplane ticket was BNZ. Did you know that there was several movies produced in your town?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Fernanda, yes! Bozeman is a popular place to film movies....and lots of movie stars have places there. It is an hour and half from where I live in Helena. We flew in and out of Bozeman because the tickets were cheaper. It was tough to drive home after flying in, so not sure we’ll do that again!! ❤️

[@carolstanley5521]

If you put a mouse pad under the paper when you stamp, it will work well.

[@sandy_521lakestreet]

I put "Stamperia Christmas" into the search on ETsy and lots of sellers came up just FYI! :) Sandy

[@meganhuggins7494]

Why not just do one at a time?? Too simple I guess.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Sometimes I do one at a time, but I like to do traveler’s notebooks and Little Golden Books in batches. It’s all about efficiency....creating the spines, cutting all the papers at the same time, etc. is just more efficient. ❤️

[@delawurl5938]

I can only handle two at the most!🤪

[@kathylake3867]

I am a little confused. Can you tell me again the measurement of the cover and middle page? Thank you.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Kathy Lake traveler’s notebook are generally 8 1/2 x 4 1/2. The Christmas ones are that size. The lavender ones are a bit smaller as the decorative paper was only a little over 8 inches wide. (Normally I would cut the width at 9 inches so it would be 4 1/2 once its folded. Hope that helps! ❤️

[@delawurl5938]

Dumb question: what is a travelers notebook?... other than the obvious. Lol

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Dela, Travelers notebook or TN mostly refers to the size. Officially the size is 8 1/4 in x 4 1/4 in. I usually make mine 8 1/2 x 4 /14, so I don’t have to cut off a quarter inch on every sheet of paper!! Hope that helps! ❤️
