Your transformation of the paper is almost magical. I am always amazed with what you can achieve with little pots and jars and pads of textured color. Your comment about people falling asleep to your videos has prompted me to tell you about my dream. I watch you early in the morning, so falling asleep just never happens, but recently I was rewatching your waterfall series at night. I had spoken with my surgeon about my upcoming hip replacement that morning, and he had mentioned that the only difference from my first hip replacement would be that he would be using glue to anchor it instead of a bolt. I did fall asleep during your video, and in my dream I was sitting on the bed in the hospital before the operation, talking with my doctor, when the door flew open and you came into the room. You apologized for interrupting, but explained to my surgeon that you are an expert on glue and needed to remind him that he should use FabriTac instead of Art Glitter Glue because it secured heavy items better, and bones are heavy. I woke myself up laughing.

OMG!! This is hysterical 😂. I’m sure there are a few more “dreams” out there!!😂😂😂 All kidding aside, prayers for a smooth and speedy recovery 🙏🏻

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

😂🤣. Sharon!!! This is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard! I shared with Mike and we are both still giggling about it! He thinks you should tell your surgeon about the dream. 😂. I’m not so sure…he might tell you that you are watching entirely too much Gayle and need to wean yourself off her videos! 🤣. Oh my gosh, my friend, this is just the best! Thank you for sharing it me! I’ll be praying for good results and a quick and complete recovery! 🙏. Thank you for the good laugh! ❤️

[@janrichards6519]

Lol moment... loved your dream 🤣 best wishes for a speedy recovery 🌷🌻🌷

[@JoAnn4gracenotperfectionm815]

Love to watch the magic happen. Mixed media is such a journey of play, experimentation, and creativity. Thank you, Gayle. ☺

Your mixed media journal covers are my all time favorite MM projects! Love love love them! ❤ Kate

[@nancivessells1909]

Love the mixed media projects today. So fun to watch you do these things. Can't wait to see you use them!!

[@JannyHaak]

That goes both ways, Gayle: I would not be as motivated to get in my craft room if it wasn't for you and all the other wonderful you tube crafters. So thank you very much for all the inspiration, every single day! 🙏❤

[@janrichards6519]

Ooooh so much fun... I love watching you create & seeing the amazing results ❣ Watching you, you seem to have the same way about you that children have, & as adults we seem to lose, & that's to have the ability of freedom, the freedom of play 🙃 My aim is to get back to that & to stop over thinking!

[@cherriberri7161]

Good Monday Morning Gayle! It’s sunny and in the low 70’s .Great idea for busy pattern paper! I love working with pastes I use them a lot in my ATCs & other mixed media projects! Thank you again for sharing with us! Have a beautiful day! 💖

[@joeycardmaker]

Wonderful 😍 The scrapbook pages looked so good and had such a vintage Christmas feel, inspiring as always. The clusters are beyond cute .... so clever ❤️❤️❤️

[@bookshopshelli]

I love those little pieces you made at the end, like a patchwork quilt has been cut up. Very pretty!

[@mouseydeb3245]

Good morning Gayle! 💕 Always enjoy ideas for using “naaah” scrapbook paper There’s always one or two when digging in my stash I look at and say “naaah”, but it’s not in my nature to toss it. 😁 of course I love mixed media Monday anyway. 😄 Hope you’re having a great Monday! 💕

Good morning Gayle. Took me 3 tries to watch this whole video. My stupid laptop shutdown 4 times within the first half hour. But I stuck with it and it was soooo worth it!

Hi Natalie Anne! Same to you! ❤️

[@judiemjacobson4613]

Good morning kind lady! I follow you almost every single morning when I get up with my breakfast. I didn't know how much saying good morning meant to you but I will now add that to my comments. Mixed media is one I don't always watch all the way through because of my limited supplies. But this one is looking good so far. I remember praying for rain when I lived in Montana. And now I live in the desert in New Mexico so we pray for rain here too.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Judie! ❤️

Hi Gayle ! Fun stuff !!

[@juliemealy1882]

Such an interesting video. I haven't tried redoing ugly paper. Usually just give it away. So, will have to try some of those things. Also loved the Christmas colors. You always seem to come up with something different to teach (show) and I love just hearing you talk to us. Please, stay positive, healthy and eager to keep crafting!!! you are the best.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, dear Julie! ❤️

[@darlaleuschenstudios8329]

Good morning, Gayle. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I can't image you making enough journals for all the covers you make. You might have start selling them on Etsy lol. I have been making padded hearts and journal toppers today. Catch you tomorrow!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Darla! ❤️

[@judiemjacobson4613]

Great video. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with those little stripy clusters. And also to see how the cover is turned out. Have a great day I'll see you tomorrow

[@rowenaroberts813]

I loved these the first time you made them and I’m still loving them. The covers are really cool too and can’t wait to see them dry. 😻🌟

Good morning from Arizona. We are supposed to get over 100 degrees again this week. It probably won’t feel like fall here until October. 😅.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Enjoy your vacation, my friend! ❤️

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Tons of fun. I love the finabar waxes. The different waxes do different things on different colors of backgrounds. It’s worth watching their videos to learn where they work best. Being in Colorado at high altitude, I don’t love the new tubes they come in. The tins like you have work better for me anyway but they aren’t easy to find anymore. The tubes seem to be under too much pressure after being shipped here and you lose a lot of product when you open them. Initially I thought it would be ok after the first time opening, however mine seem to just waste more each time. Hopefully they go back to the tins because it’s an AMAZING product!

[@robinpowell2712]

How fun!!

[@artzology]

A great mixed media Monday! xo

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh my gosh, Deb, your bow digital has been perfect for my Shirley Temple altered book! Thank you so much for sharing it! ❤️

[@darleneboehm9666]

That was so fun, and I could tell that you just wanted to play with everything in the mixed media area…lol. I am the same way. Takes me a while I’m between visits to my mixed media stuff, so I try to get in as much play as possible.

[@robinmentzer7974]

So many fun pieces. Will you use the small collage pieces as stand alone pieces or in a cluster? They could make fun hidden paperclips. Look forward to seeing the covers dried.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yes, probably both! You’re right! They would make fun hidden paper clips! Lots of uses for them I think!! ❤️

[@donitamoore8123]

All so pretty! Your hands look like mine after a good session of creatin'! lol I had the house to myself yesterday and started working on some ephemera so have on hand. Such a fun and relaxing day. Have a blessed day!

[@judyortiz5745]

Good morning Gayle. It looks like you’re turning into the Incredible Hulk with that green. Looks like you’re having loads of fun. Mixed media Monday is always fun. Bye now and have a good day.❤️💝💖

Good morning, Gayle. Yesterday we went to Harrisburg, the Capitol city of PA. It's about an hour and a half away. We don't have a Costco where I live, only a Sam's Club. And we got a membership a few months ago as I needed a new computer and Costco had the best deal. So, we went down to do a little shopping. After, we went a bit more South to an area known as the apple belt of PA, with several Apple Orchards. We had never been before, but this one Orchard has over 70 varieties, including Braeburn, my hubby's favorite. He could get Braeburn's easily from Costco when we lived in Alaska. But here, they are hard to find. This place did have several types, but the Braeburn's won't be ready for a few weeks. But we got some others and some pears; a variety I've never had before. There is nothing like fresh apples and pears. They were so juicy and delicious. Yum! We were glad we went. I can see you are getting ready for your Christmas journal making. A favorite for me, as are the Falltime ones. Anyway, have a wonderful day. Enjoy the rain, as I know you so well need. Hugs! Sue ♥

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Sue! Sounds like an awesome little excursion! So glad you had a good day! ❤️

[@chamelaroo4683]

Good morning Gayle! I love how your papers came out. I am finally going to use a mixed media paper like these that my daughter and I made. Do you put anything over the top first like mod podge or sealing spray?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I don’t. The modeling paste stays put, so no need to seal. But, if it makes you more confident in your cover, then you can always seal it. 👍❤️

[@debbiesilver3549]

Good morning from beautiful British Columbia

[@nancymoore1275]

Love these. Could you use a gelli plate after the paste instead of spray? I’m just worried about ruining my gelli plate 🤔

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’d worry about that too. 😬. What if you spread paint on a non stick surface like a silicone mat and then sort of smooshed the stenciled paper on top of it? Hmm, I’m going to have to try that! 🤔❤️

[@donettabuck4314]

Love to watch u mixing it up

[@kaydee7673]

Hi Gayle! I don't have any ink sprays but was wondering if I could use watered-down acrylics or something else to add color with this technique? Love the way these look.❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I sure it’s worth a try! And I’m sure it will work, maybe just a little different look. Go for it, my friend! ❤️

[@kaydee7673]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct Great! Thank you ❤️

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Just started watching you with my lunch. Just watched Wendy say they weren’t damaged by hurricane Fiona so glad for her. You are the difference between a creative person and a non-creative person. You see ugly fall scrapbook paper and say let’s turn it into Christmas journal cover. I see ugly scrapbook paper and say let’s put it in the donate box. I am getting my Cathy Holden together though. I made my journal cover with her Christmas fabric that I bought on a whim when I was looking for something else and I’ve got a pack of her paper and two packs of the ephemera, I didn’t get the stickers as I’m not much of a sticker person so we’ll see when I actually get around to it. I should probably wait for you to do yours so I can be non-creative and just copy you 😅. I know you’re going to Denver in a day or two so have a great trip ✈️.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks so much, Lyn! Can’t wait to get ahold of my babies!! ❤️
