Late watching this today as we were celebrating family birthdays From April 26 to May 2 we have 3 birthdays between my daughter and 2 grandkids, so we do one big bash! The journal cover is so pretty, can't wait to see what it becomes. Those grungy watercolor papers are the best! I'm worn out from all the activities today and relaxing with you was just what I needed. Have a blessed evening!

Hi Gayle, you deserve a gold star for how you made the awkward angles on the flap work through some careful thought & maybe a touch of geometry...yuck. A very nice strategy for covering wonky corners. Brava! Hazel

[@milliedk]

Your cover turned out so beautiful Gayle x Collaging is one of my favourite crafty things to do. I hope I will be able to buy from your store in the near future. I really want a mug 🥰 for when I'm crafting along with you and having my cappucinos 😅❤ Take care. Hugs from Denmark.

The cover is turning out great. You're always talking about movies on Netflix, have you watched the series Call the Midwife? I'm watching it now. It is so good. I think you would really enjoy it. It is a long series. It is based on the memories of a real person, I believe.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh yeah, Mike and I are binge watching from season one again! We’ve seen all the seasons, but love it so much we are going through again! 😂❤️

My friend in London turned me on to it & I told her today it was so good I would probably watch it again!! I'll tell her you like it too!! I stay up until 2 A.M. sometimes!! Glad I'm basically retired!!

[@lollipopc4901]

Hi Gayle! It's Laurel 👋🙂 I haven't watched the video yet, because I wanted to wish you a "happy journal - versary" first! It was 4 years ago that I had a life changing heart attack. I needed to de - stress in the hospital so I went on Pinterest and found your video! You made me believe that I could do this junk journal stuff! It included everything I love and you were such an encouraging and wonderful teacher. God knew that I needed this craft in my life, and you to take me on the journey that would get me through many a tough day ahead. Honestly, I can't picture what my life would be like without this outlet. No matter how I feel, there is generally something I can do that's journal related, whether it's just watching a video, fussy cutting, organizing lace 😊, or actually creating something. I remember you sitting at the little table looking through your scraps that used to be in a little box from zip loc bags! Things have changed a lot for both of us, but I am ever grateful for you Gayle! You have been a life changer for me. I know you are busy so you don't need to respond 😊 I am so glad you are able to see your family again. You had a long dry season without them so I am happy to hear that you may not have videos every day! I love you Gayle... it's so odd to say that to someone I've never met, but you get it, right? 😂 Take good care, and I will see you tomorrow, and the next day, etc.!! You are wonderful! 💖💞💖 Laurel 🪺

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Laurel! You made my day! Love you too, my friend! ❤️

[@chrissimmons3856]

Gayle , as usual I love everything you do ! I do have a request … can you make another Little Golden Book journal .keeping the entire cover ? I was in the process of making one just to discover that my 8 1/2 x 11 pages are too short if you keep the entire cover without cutting it at the fold., and I am stuck and do not know The best way to correct this problem. The only thing that comes to mind is to add fabric or lace to every page to extend it and that is really not the best idea. I have a stack of five or six covers already done 🙃 thanks Gayle ❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Chris! I always cut my LGB covers at the spine and create a new spine of 1 1/2 to 2 inches, so I don’t know that I’m much help. Lace or ruffles are a solution as you said or perhaps flip outs that extend past the original pages? Or how about side pockets that go the length of the page and again extend past the original pages? Hope this helps a little! ❤️

[@charlean_sherrod]

Ps. Lol. I think collaged covers and ephemera, are my very most favorite, and love making them, thanks Gayle for all of your awesome ideas that you share with us, 💕💕💕

[@loriericks3243]

Oh 😀 yay. I have one of those book mailers and have been hoping someone would cover one so I could get some ideas of how to cover. I love you channel and use your ideas a lot. You help me so much and I learn such great journaling tasks from you. Thank you for all you share. 👏👏👏👏🥰

[@lynnrisi7301]

Hi Gayle! Your journal covers are always amazing. How do you keep them soft looking? Mine seem so stiff. Yes, I do use a lot of mod-podge...but the real reason I wanted to get in touch was that I cannot find in your playlist, or just scrolling through all of your videos the masculine journal you made. Not the hockey one. I am trying to make a journal for my son, and I can probably come up with my own stuff, but I remember being impressed with the one you put together. Or was it just ephemera? Either way, could you give me what date or time frame videos to watch? I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Happy Mother's Day!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh gosh, Lynn, with over 2,000 videos, I have no idea the name or date of that video. I think if you search KZbin for Gayle Agostinelli Masculine Journal, some videos should come up. Hopefully it’s one of those. 🤞❤️

[@lynnrisi7301]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct As luck would have it an older video came up on my feed tonight and it was one where you were decorating ephemera and two of the pieces were for the "Man Journal". That was January of 2021. So, I now have a starting point anyway. I was afraid to ask...just because you do so many videos, but nothing ventured, nothing gained...right? ❤

It is a bit humorous when you say you are just going to put the collage paper down but then you put it back and pick another and another. Old habits are very hard to break. Stay safe! Love ya!!

Hi Gayle, hope you are having a good day there at your grand-daughters tournament. Loving your videos - I am new to journaling so have your videos on loop so I can get some ideas. I am a card-maker and have a ton of scraps and embellishments - as well as a pile of Amazon boxes that reaches the ceiling! - so am not short of materials. Have a few of the book boxes so I can make a start on making covers. Lots of love from a very sunny (unusual) Scotland. Chris x

[@jennylawson1980]

This journal cover is going to make the neatest folio cover! I can’t wait to see where you take this one. A Spring/Summer folio is a perfect idea! Great way to use bigger Ephemera up that sometimes sits for what seems like forever. Hope your having a wonderful Mothers Day weekend!

I have serious packaging envy. You get better boxes than I do. When I got my handmade watercolor paper, it didn't come in anything remotely like that.

Have a wonderful time with your family, and don't worry about missing a few postings. Absence only makes the heart grow fonder. Besides, I often rewatch your videos anyway just to refresh my memory.
