Re-Imagined Scraps - Edith Holden and More!

[@juneribbons5196]

I'm more than two years late watching this video. You have so many lovely projects that I have yet to watch. I love all of the pages and how you cut and emblsheledd them. Love all.of your videodthat I've seen you make. Keep them coming and maybe one day I'll catch up and see them all. Lol !! I love your videos and they never bore me even if I dont craft along with you. I'd rather watch and save my faviorites to watch again as I craft with you !!

[@debbievanmeter-jerseygirl374]

I love the Edith Holden illustrations!thank you for introducing me to her work

[@pamfrank3962]

Each time I watch your tutorial I discover even more of your great ideas. Today I am going to attempt to craft along with you as you suggest. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips

[@cindyreseck4429]

signature center great idea...so beautiful...her work is stunning and I love the handwriting

[@toniacosstick5226]

Love your videos, spent the whole day binge watching them. I especially like the craft with me videos (not that I can take my eyes off the screen to craft with you). Looking forward to watching more and so glad there are so many towatch.

[@dottygin]

Loved this video, ouch with that washi tape you need muscles on muscles trying to pull some paper off that roll. Love the Edith pages, great way to make pockets. I must see if I can get my hands on a copy. enjoy your Saturday afternoon. No idea of the time difference between us. Take care xxxxx

[@joiedefi]

The papers really inspire me to make another journal... maybe a vintage one. That will be number 15.... not that the stash is going down much. 😲❣️🌿 Joie

[@marthamanigross]

Gayle, I really do love listening to and watching you. I was ironing about 50 strips of muslin fabric I tea dyed yesterday so I can stamp on them. It took me both your videos and a few others to get through ironing them all! I love seeing all the ideas and combos you come up with too. Thanks once again for sharing your humor and knowledge and imagination. Thanks for keeping me company too!

[@annettedepete4314]

I am never bored watching your videos. These scraps are awesome.

[@Jenny-W1910]

Hi Gayle, i don't think i could ever craft along with you because i don't want to miss a thing your doing! i might be the only one out here, but i never heard of Edith Holden before 😲 i will google her after watching this. i love your paper trimmer, it looks like it glides really well, i have a Fiskar one but might need to invest in one like you have. you really have a gift in being able to make us feel like we're right there with you, i enjoy hearing about your day as you create, going to costco, what you like from there, etc. just like friends chatting. maybe you will have a little Hobby Lobby haul to share 😉 i agree with whoever suggested you sell packets of your bits and pieces in your etsy shop! "Gayle's Goody Packs!!" i love how everything turned out, thanks so much for all the inspiration 💕

[@Jenny-W1910]

about that beverage you mentioned, would that be the IZZE sparkling juice drink?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Jenny1. No it’s not the Izze drink. It’s Sparkling ICE flavored water. It’s in a tall plastic bottle. I don’t like the plastic bottle aspect, but I love the water! Hugs my friend! ❤️

[@Jenny-W1910]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct thanks Gayle, I'm going to try them! 💖

[@Kathyjones55]

You never bore me I love just listening to you as I craft.😊

[@cherylc-r6069]

These videos of using paper have been awesome! I love them all. ❤️❤️

[@joandamerow3518]

You are so much fun to watch, love your ideas.

[@deborahsmith5036]

Thank you Gayle, if I lose my mojo I just sit and spend some time with you and wow I am energised again. Despite the 43 c degrees heat here in Australia I’m back on track. Using up my scraps is so liberating. 😘🎉🎉🎉

[@creativemomentswithdurinda]

You're so inspiring..I just love watching you craft and you're so much fun to hang out with. I'm learning from you all the time. I love that leaf stitch. And I never mind when you use the sewing machine in your videos. I have a sewing machine now because of your work and all the ways you've shown me to use it.🤗🤗💜💜

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

What an awesome comment, Durinda! Thank you!! ❤️

[@nevascraps4260]

Love this series...you are not only inspirational, but a joy to listen to as I craft! Everything thing you created was just gorgeous. Tfs!

[@fastquilter600]

Hi. Seeing Smith's name caught my attention. I'm Sandi Holden. I love Edith's art Work! Marvelous watercolours. I have all of her books and I could never take her books apart!

[@fastquilter600]

Edith's....damn autocorrect

[@sacredserpentempressyamuna]

So crazy. I'm sitting here at midnight working on my daughters journal made with the winter tales digitals and this video starts playing. 🙏🏽🧿🙏🏽

[@cheryllynn1913]

If I could give this two thumbs up I would! Shoot! If I could add my toes, I'd do that too! Great inspiration, Gayle!

[@dalesueglass8421]

Ok, ok, ok. Now I have to make a journal. I have piles of ‘stuff ‘ and you make it look do-able. Thank you.

[@mrsgigi8363]

So many wonderful ideas and in a way simple. Thanks alot for sharing. Happy crafting 💜

[@wondubarcrafts9259]

You always come up with the most amazing and simple little ephemra projects...your so sweet for sharing...thank you.

[@cfeaston1602]

Wow, SO much fun at one time! Fabulous video, Gayle! You really create such beauty with those Eden Holden pages!! Loved the collage pages/tags. Loved the January EH page for the Winter's Tale signature center! Looking forward to watching you create that journal. The only thing better than watching you design that journal is if I win it, first!🙏☺ One has not seen a true artist at work until one watches the craft artist tear the edges of washi tape to get "the look!" Lol!! 😘 Love watching your work! What a gift you give to the crafting community! As always, TFS!!! ❤

[@rneustel388]

I enjoyed this so much-learning all the way to use parts and pieces and thinking of more ways to use the bits and bobs that are left over!! My husband retires from the government at the end of this year, and we’re leaving Pennsylvania and moving west. We never had kids so don’t have to take that into consideration 😉my mother is still living and is my only living relative except for a cousin that lives where my mother does in Arkansas. My hubby hates anywhere there’s humidity-he’s from northern Idaho, and he wants to go back west for retirement. He only has one living relative-a brother-and wants to go closer to him. He left that area (he went to college in Cheney, WA at Eastern Washington University) in 1988 when he went to work for the Army as a civilian. We’ve spent months looking on real estate sites at homes in NM, AZ, UT, NV, ID, MT, WY, Western Nebraska, Eastern WA and Eastern OR. We hope to put our house on the market at the beginning of Summer, so my next home has to have a really great craft room with a lot of room for scraps!! Sorry to run your ear off! 😘

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

rneustel So excited for you!! I love the west! So beautiful! Best of luck on your move and I hope you find a perfect craft room!! ❤️

[@chaselip]

Love this. Made some a long time ago. This is going to be so pretty.💝💝💝

[@jeannieferdinande5805]

Haven’t used much Washi tape but tearing it gives it different look on the tag or envelope...thanks for adding to my techniques I can use for a more finished look...love Edith Holden she gave us so much...I have done some botanical art and love her pages...she took time to enjoy what was around her...I first saw her book in a nature sketching workshop❤️🌻🐇

[@tuthillg]

Thanks, Gayle, for the inspiration and company while crafting. I only got 3 tags and 2 pockets done and no sewing, but that's something, I guess. Always fun spending time with you! TFS!

[@tamisylvester2293]

If I had a library of Edith Holden I would be a happy camper. You did a beautiful job and gave me a lot of great ideas. 😍

[@scrappycavie5151]

Thank you for the inspiration. I always enjoy Gayle time. 😊

[@sandrasmith4361]

Your ideas for using scraps is so amazing I never thought to use scraps the way you show us just loving it and it giving me so many more ideas thank you

[@marlenejones6266]

Now I'm going nuts. I know this is a year old but you have tripped my trigger. Lol I have leaves on my Brother machine and I have 2 types. So now I'm going to let loose. But I'm still waiting on my Edith book. Its the edwardian lady book. I'm upset as it was shipped 8 days ago. How long doest it take to get to Wi from DE? My word. You have made my day with the sewing on her lovely pages. Rock on dear lady. Oh and the leaves on that page is stunning. Just wonderful Gayle. Oh my i loved the Birdbox, it's a thriller. Im so,sorry this is long but today I learned so much about making my own ephemera. I did the collage board like you did. I'm so very pleased. You and Pam from Paper Outpost and Nik have taught me much. But you are way more in depth. Thank you thank you Gayle I would not have anything to,put in a journal if not for,your teachings.

[@rhodalewis2766]

I so enjoy watching your videos. And I also love the sparkling Ice water - if I have it in the house that's the first thing my grandkids grab to drink!

[@jillgantz9218]

Love the collage paper, wow! The Edith Holden scraps were a perfect addition. Really enjoying this series!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, trials and errors, they are such an inspiration and help.

[@jessicawyman-brown3207]

I have this same sewing machine. This video is a year old hopefully it’s still holding up, as I just started sewing with mine a month ago. I’ve had it for over a year but, it just sat in the box because I’ve never used a sewing machine before and I was super nervous. Your reverse stitching looks like it goes a lot smoother than mine. I do love all the stitches, especially for journals.

[@janedilley9538]

Watching you inspires me to sew my envelopes . so fun. Thanks for sharing

[@junebamburg1704]

Great ideas, love watching you craft, I can’t craft with you I might miss a stitch. For some reason I can’t do housework while holding my iPad, isn’t that just so sad. ❤️

[@conniesholl3409]

Fun day! Enjoyed this craft with me! Hugs!

[@bonniequaile3154]

you are great at what you do. I have learned a lot from you. well see ya in your next video

[@WoodlandInspired]

These are just to much fun , thanks for sharing.

[@christel1841]

I have just started watching your channel today and ended up watching and being inspired all day long!!! Thank you for sharing your talents!

[@roxycreations679]

Just lovely Gayle! You're such an inspiration and joy to watch! Thank you so much for sharing! Best wishes Rachel

[@1jmass]

If you colored them in, I think your leaf stitches could pass for Christmas lights. I am surprised no one has come out with a line of washi with the edges already torn. What a time saver.

[@TurquoiseDreamingSheree]

Very beautiful Gayle, this one thing I need to do also, I have several collaged sheets and just have not got around to cutting them in to tags. I need to move that up on my list because its something I really want to finish. Thank you Gayle! : )

[@donnatolle1419]

Love these EH envelopes, signature center and tags Gayle. I really liked the little rolodex card with the tiny snippet of pink trim. TFS

[@cynthiamostacato7894]

Hi Gayle, catching up on your videos again! It is 10:10 pm here in Upstate New York and I'm playing with my scraps along with you. Loving this "Re-Imagined Scraps" series. Hope to see more.....Cyndi M.

[@nasushll]

I have several of those books. I love them.

[@tamitignor5242]

Loving your scrap episodes.

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

Love what you are creating and adore your Edith Holden book❤️

[@barbrajoan2554]

Gayle, found you recently. Love it. I'm a watercolor artist and a journal maker. I have that same Edith Holden book, but not brave enough to use it. Went to Hobby Lobby today, all your fault. LOL

[@timbrant1538]

I bought 2 just so i could take one apart, & one to keep!!

[@porchswingdesignsmarilou7323]

You shared some wonderful ideas here, Gayle! Thank you very much!! xo

[@MissDaisyParsley]

Had a great time crafting with you today! Working on my December Daily! Yep, I'm catching up! lol

[@sharonrazmzan8097]

I love Edith Holden and how you used her book today. I bought one and fell so in love with the book that I could not bear to tear it apart. So of course I purchased another! Alas, it has fallen to the same fate as the first. Lol. But you have inspired me to cut in with gusto! As always love your craft with me videos and can’t wait to see what you do with the lucky giveaway winner. Thanks for your generosity!

[@anitabyrd5786]

Yikes!!! I think I may have missed a couple of these videos!!! I love how those collage tags are turning out!!!

[@traciebennett6103]

Love what your doing with scraps 💕 so creative ♥️

[@carolynchatham6376]

Love the collage paper! Tags and cards are gorgeous!

[@michellesalois895]

Oh I am loving your re-imagined scraps videos, you have inspired me to work on getting my scraps under control =)

[@kessell637]

Comment #4 .... I suggest putting a popsicle stick or something like that at the end of the wide washi after each use. Then it would never get stuck back down to the roll. I do this with a large paper clip on my packing tape. It’s easy to remove when I need to use it. Hope that helps!

[@carolynchatham6376]

Also can use plastic wrap or similar material along the edge .

[@andreajohnsMyPotteryBliss]

What a grand idea. So often I end up fighting with the end of the roll then it tears off crookedly. Grrrr! This will take care of that problem.

[@pattyclevenger1966]

Great ideas... Thanks for sharing... Have a blessed day..

[@crystal13l]

Great idea on the center fold, love it.

[@caroleblancher262]

So excited! Just got my first “Edith Holden” book to use in my first Junk Journal! Love it! Thanks, Gayle, for the inspiration!

[@marlenejones6266]

Mines coming in the mail. It's taking forever. 9th day since shipping and no tracking. I'm stressed over it. Enjoy yours. Will you copy pages or rip with wild abandon? Lol I'm ripping. Going to order another copy for reading. Have a great weekend a year later....lol

[@SammiJarrad]

I love LOVE(!) what you’re doing here Gayle!! Throwing the Edith Holden writing on the franken papers is beautiful! If you do put acetone in your Fabri-Tac, can you show how you do it? Maybe share what you’ve learned from doing it? Thank you for sharing your awesome ideas. 😁💜📚

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

You bet, Samantha! I would bet there a technique to getting enough and not too much acetone! ❤️

[@SammiJarrad]

Gayle, thanks so much! I’m still new to journal making & haven’t had to fix my Fabri-Tac yet. 💜

[@karensumner3772]

[@mariapatriciachavez214]

good morning Miss Gail a shout out to all your people ❤️🌈👍

[@anniehamilton2524]

Hi Gayle thanks for another amazing and inspiring creative session, who doesn't love Edith Holden Your paper and scrap selection are so amazing, I love the way you can just lay your hand on pieces that work so beautifully together, I don't have too many to choose from, but enjoy seeing the ideas you share I have also watched Bird Box, love Sandra Bullock in anything! It's an interesting story, very well done and she is great in the part as are the children. Can you share where you bought the wide roles of wash tape?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Annie! The wide washi came from www.etsy.com/shop/BellasBitsandBuys ❤️

[@fastquilter600]

How Edith died is still unknown but a suspected drowning. For someone so young and talented. Good to keep her talents alive.

[@susannaeasdale1162]

Great ideas Gail thanks for sharing. Regards Susanna xx

[@irenecortez7819]

I love the book . You are awesome. Thank you

[@tfntexas]

That was very fun...such pretty embellishments!

[@craftycat7212]

Gayle I just did some of the collage pages after watching you. I couldn't remember exactly how you did it so I tore around each scrap I used and then glued it on. It made for very soft edges. I then cut it into tags and even did a Tim Holts tag pocket. Thanks for the inspiration! XXAmy

[@mamiejeanne1]

oh wow !! those are gorgeous !!!! sabine

[@practicemakespretty]

Always such fun ideas!! You are simply amazing, my friend. It was so nice to be able to come spend some time with you. Thank you for all the inspiration, sending you biiiiig hugs! Muah! Xoxo..

[@Tlazoetl]

I really enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year.

[@kathmcmillen3217]

This series, re-imagined scraps, have been so helpful! Thank you. Your big rolls of washi, I put a small piece of waxed paper on the end so I don't have to fight with the darn thing.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Great idea, Kath!! ❤️

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Kath McMillen I did a video about ideas to end crafting frustrations and showed that I save plastic packaging and cut small triangles from the plastic and use them on my washi rolls and other tapes. I keep them in a box and grab one whenever I start a new washi roll. Saves you from struggling to find the end.

[@PhotoSadie]

I have several vintage Edith Holden books, but dont think i could use them in my journaling. Even if they were falling apart I'd have to use scanned copies. Her art is beautiful. So is yours. Oh...did you know Edith Holden drown in the Thames when she slipped gathering while gathering chestnut tree buds.

[@marlenejones6266]

And she was only 49 years of age when she drown. So sad. So much more beauty was in that fabulous mind of her dont you think? But we did get what we have here and I'm ordering another of her books or maybe 2. I adore her works

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

Marlene Jones I just bought her 2 books. I need a duplicate of both of them. I don’t want to loose any of her artwork and don’t want to photocopy any of it.

[@misslizinflorida]

The book is copyrighted so photocopying is a no-no. I just bought more books.

[@peggyeaton6601]

I just want to come and craft with you.!!!!!! You have such great ideas!!!!

[@carolynbaker5135]

Bird Box was intense. Sandra Bullock acted superbly. Imagine going around blindfolded; we should try it.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Carolyn Baker I guess some people are. They had a piece on the news about Bird Box challenges! ❤️

[@tracyh6466]

Love the collages page morphing into tags!💕💕

[@cheryl2455]

Love this & all your videos! Yes we did the same thing on New Year’s Eve. Yes that movie was totall intense! Totally good! Would watch it again.

[@CraftingVicky]

Loved this as usual

[@NowTheresaCraftyIdea]

Love these crafting sessions. Lots of great ideas. Maybe a lolly stick might work on the wide Washi? X

[@freidagepner2370]

I finally made my first hard back JJ. I gave it to my son for Christmas. He thought it was great. But he has to say that because I am Mom. I put in two signatures because it was only a one inch spine. But I think I put them each of them too close to each side of the spine because there was a gap between them. But he was happy and that's what's important. I did the pamphlet stitch and the stitches were straight!!! I used your method of making a template for the holes. Thanks for all your ideas.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Freida, congrats on your first journal! I have gaps between signatures too, but that’s so I can fill up the pages and it has room to expand!! 😬

[@freidagepner2370]

Gayle Agostinelli thank you for taking the time to reply. I had so much fun making the journal. I can't wait to start my next one. I am going to take a cue from u and make a bunch of embellishments first.

[@tripletgirl2484]

Yes, it was fun and inspirational too!

[@roseanndeighan5872]

Hi Gayle you've been having some fun😍 I hope to get some Journaling and JJ's done in the coming weeks 😍

[@kathyluty6035]

I love the illustrations in my Edith Holden

[@KellysThriftyFinds]

I just ordered my own Edith Holden book with some Christmas amazon money. 🎉🎉. I love learning from you❤️ thanks Gail!

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

So loving this series Gayle, it’s brilliant! Happy New Year sweet friend ❤️🎊❤️

[@janetnieves5056]

At 1st I didn't think I would like it,then when u cut it n started making tags n such,I loved it. Tfs

[@kessell637]

I like to spread a little cream colored paint thinly on a paper plate, use bubble wrap as a stamp, and dab paint on the serendipity paper before I cut it into tags. It knocks back some of the bolder patterns in the paper. Oh, wait- I use a script stamp and permanent ink to randomly stamp first. I did the same thing with my Frayed Burlap ink pad. Argh!

[@handmadefromlisa]

I love Edith Holden 😍

[@artzology]

I love Edith Holden Books! Love the tags etc!

Then last night we watched A Quiet Place, gee what's with these sensory bound movies...it was freaky too!! Not my usual kind but it had me on my toes 😱 Gayle, if we want to share a picture of our journal to you, where is the most appropriate place??
