Everytime I watch you put these together Gayle I see new ideas. So please don’t think it’s redundant because it’s not, it’s inspirational!

[@brendawalrath4823]

I love the idea of decorating strips of tracing paper or whatever. It was so fun watching you putting those sweet decorations together

[@mariannespmmissouri1913]

Gayle, I love the tracing paper strips and watching you make them. Thank you for all the ideas you have given me over the past 2 years. I am still a newbie in making journals. You have taught me so much!

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

The tracing paper strips are so pretty before you even got started collaging! You have given me some ideas for mixed media!!! I think I will use strips that I have stamped and use for backgrounds on mixed media projects. As far as collage strips, I have done the strips before, but watching you, I think I am going to use full sheets of tracing paper. I will tape a grid beneath the page, then make ephemera clusters on top of each box, then tear them apart for individual ephemera clusters to use in my journal making. You inspire me so much just watching you. :-)

[@cindygaal3757]

I think the “ blob” flowers make it all the more interesting!

[@debbiev.1311]

LOVE these tracing paper strips & how they make decorating ephemera quick & easy!! 🌹🐦🌸BEAUTIFUL!! ❤🤗

[@coreybartkuscole444]

Ever since you taught me to make these strips I’ve been making them nonstop! I love making these!! I have so many stamped images already And I’ve scattered them around my desk ready to go! Doing some color themed strips while I watch you Gayle, thanks for your inspiration!!💙💚💛🧡❤️

I love your tracing paper strips,so cute… wow how exciting to get to face time with Ceri, that will be really fun. 🤗

[@christinecrow1410]

Good morning, Gayle. Your projects are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@rachelleandrichard]

I like the numbers you used. Are they download printables? You're good company. When I don't feel like creating, I watch you create. You're so calm and kind. You're also a prolific maker and enable others to start making too. No wonder you have nearly 15 million views! 👏

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

The numbers are stamped on to paper scraps. (I never throw anything away! 😂). Some of the number stamps are from Whichcraftdoyoudo.com. 👍❤️

[@artzology]

Your strips always look amazing! Love to watch you make ephemera!

[@lacreshaflowers5421]

Collaging is 😊 fun!! This idea 💡 makes it handy to use for smaller projects - I love ❤️ it?!

[@annwatkins9637]

Love it, Gayle!!!!!! Made some along with you and beyond! What fun!

[@CraftingPatty]

I normally stay quite but just wanted to say I love these so much I just did like 3 videos on making them. ^.^ I have been watching you since 2019 and you have been so much inspiration to me. You have such a calm voice and your so kind. I LOVE your works. Love your mixed media pieces. I am a traditional artist. But love how you create. ^.^ we are blessed to have a teacher/mentor as you. Thanks for being you.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Patty! 🥰❤️

[@deedeeedychance7757]

I’m with you Gayle. I love making these strips!

[@carolbisson5242]

So happy you didn't leave us hanging.. Wonderfull.

[@teresastevens2084]

Oh, Gayle…I just love these collaged tracing paper strips you make and this was the first time I sat and made one with you! They certainly give that final “umph” to the finished piece of ephemera adding just the perfect dimension to the piece. I think I’ll make some more! On a side note…I love my poppies, too, and wish they would last all summer and into the fall! You are such an inspiration! 💐

[@tamaraklepel1517]

Gayle, I too have a bit of an empty nest issue. My son moved to New York from Oregon. I miss that young man so much sometimes. But he is married, her family loves him like a son! That is heartwarming. he is a good guy. We visit but not as often as I used to. my daughter moved to Hood River which is an hour from me. Not far, but not close. My son, doesn't have children, but my daughter does. I visit every other weekend. But gas prices now have me reconsidering this. It's terrible isn't it? But oh they are great kids and the grands are SO much fun! Love them all!

[@maryvaszi8742]

Love these. I will have to try this soon. I love how easy it is to just put it on a collage and you are done.

[@debbiesilver3549]

Thanks for showing the rest, I hope we see another video with the cutting of a cover, tags, pockets etc. with a selection of these beauties! I’m working on making a batch of these, so far I’m liking mine (not as much as yours lol)

[@freidagepner2370]

Your strips are so cute. I need to make some more myself. Running low! Oh No can’t have that happen!😀 Thanks for a fun video my friend. I sure do admire your ability to get all these videos done plus have time and ENERGY to go to all your games. Maybe you could send me some energy vibes!

[@junellancalade1879]

Good evening Gayle! Great video. I always enjoy watching you make these. Finally got me some tracing paper at Hobby Lobby and having fun with these strips. 💖💕Hugs!!

[@carolynchatham6376]

Creativation is what used to be HIA Hobby Industries of America. I went several times when I worked as a designer for a company that sold wood supplies and art supplies. It always motivated me by seeing new products and other designers. I hope to go to Creativation next year.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’m hoping to go next year too. We will have to keep in touch about it! 👍❤️

[@patbrez3079]

Good Evening Gayle! I enjoyed making the strips but now I will do one in the other direction. So nice to hear you and Ceri are going to FT each other, maybe you two can collaborate on something for the Junk Journal world. FaceTime was so useful during the you know what. Enjoy the rest of your Evening. 👍🌼🌼🌼

[@judymcadam6344]

I had some tags that needed a little something. This is it! Thanks for the video Gayle😊

[@sharonskains5049]

How exciting about your face time with Ceri. He sounds like an amazing conversationalist and a thoughtful and generous person. He should actually write an autobiography; his life has been fascinating. I am also looking forward to the segments you are planning featuring attendees at your upcoming retreat. Personalizing crafters is always interesting. And I can't wait for tomorrow and more Forgotten Friends!

[@jenniesebrasky6023]

Thanks for "starting at the beginning"!!!!

[@daynakuenstler7512]

I always love watching you do these! Your ephemera always looks so great when you use them. I have yet to do any myself but gosh do I need to! Beautiful as always.❤️

[@cseedbead8180]

I love how you layer with such a variety of materials. I am new to J.J. have yet to jump in. I agree with you having stuff premade will help for making signatures. I have a problem with covering pages I like. Some of your cards were beautiful, then you plaster over it... I take a deep breath and continue watching and 'oh yeah' that is good too. Haahee. Maybe I should pay you for therapy....haahee Fun tutorial... 👏👏👍🎻😍

[@carolek2090]

I have not yet done this but you make it look so easy and fun! I am going to give it a try.

[@jennylawson1980]

Thank you for todays longer video. A shot of Gayle in the morning makes for a beautiful day. I love how you have choices to choose from for all different journals. Gayle do you have a how to make a writing board for your journals in your play list? I’ve seen different ones done but mine look like a hot mess something so simple…yet for me I can’t seem to get them sized or laid right in the journal. Any suggestions?

I always love seeing these come together. They always work so beautifully on the ephemera!

[@donadeam2313]

Every time I watch you make collage type ephemera, I learn even more about “what looks good where.” My mother had an area along a terrace wall full of the standard red poppies. It always looked so wild and free when they bloomed, bobbing in the breeze. Of course, living in Kansas, the breeze always turned to wind so the poppies never lasted for very in the garden. 😊

It’s so funny the other day when you mentioned Gonzaga in my Facebook feed was a post from my friend of her granddaughter organizing some kind of an honors party at Gonzaga, that was so funny I was like hey Gayle just talked about Gonzaga and my friends granddaughter goes there and she’s graduating in May an entire year early because she’s so stinking smart. She could’ve gone Ivy League but she had to follow her boyfriend! What can I say.

[@beverlynielsen6714]

Morning Gayle. I was so happy to see doing this today. I have been thinking about this since the first time I saw you do it. Question: this may sound like a no brainer but my paper is shiny on one side and matte on the other. My thought would be the matte side, but then would the shiny side glue? Thanks for your thoughts. I finally did the hexagon collage you did quite some time ago. With cutting each piece out individually ( no punch) it took me the 4 hours to cut and paste but I got 2 8 12 x 11 cardstock papers done. It was tedious but I loved the final product. Now to figure out what to do with them. Take care. Hugs.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I think with the gluing a good coat of Uhu glue stick then also Art Glitter glue would do the trick. ❤️

[@lanagailscreations6736]

This is my first time seeing this kind of stuff, I am so in love with everything about this and I would absolutely love to get started doing it and the journal, mini albums, ect. I have tons of scrapbooks. I’d love to get in your hip pocket and do this or learn from you lol jk. What supplies should I invest in or what do I do first?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

My guess is you’ve already got a lot of the supplies you need to get started if you’ve been scrapbooking. I have some Beginner Tutorials that you can find if you search Gayle Agostinelli Beginner Tutorial. Also, I have a playlist of Start to Finish Journals on my channel that you could follow along with as well. Get yourself some good glues. My favorites are available on my website (listed in the description box under my videos) under Gayle’s Favorite Things at gayleagostinelli.com/gayles-favorite-things/. My best advice is to watch lots of videos to get down the basics and just have fun from there!! ❤️
