[@j.kevin-jillboyd5830]

Such a joy to watch all your video's. Thank you. I need more Christmas napkins to decorate. Lol

[@carolynnixon7095]

I love seeing it all come together! Thank you!

[@sandragreen8677]

Thank you Gayle, watching you all day...

[@TuckerandTulipsdesigns]

Gail, I love, love, love your channel and creations! Truth be told you keep me company in my craft room a lot! Thank you! Hugs, Trudy

[@patriotmem2645]

Your work is so beautiful and well thought out. You are truly inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing your talents.

[@Emmaandlucy743]

Bush man is the best laugh I have had all week and your paper came out great thank you for sharing

[@MissDaisyParsley]

Wonderful tags! Thanks for the smiles today - yes that man does look cute sitting on the bush!

[@diannegriffiths4557]

These are just adorable. Thanks for sharing. From New Zealand

[@hilarybonura99]

I really liked the man "sitting" in the bush too. I am still craking up!

[@valyvalou2270]

Absolutely gorgeous Gayle. Just wanted to mention that after I sand the napkin I add a smidgen of crackle medium on it. Makes it look old if you want to just put a smidgen even on just some parts and not all over. Hugs from the land of Oz, see you for the next video.

[@lindarotter2282]

Keep the funny man so every time you see him you will have a good laugh!!!! Love all that you are doing in this journal.

[@artymaze]

I did catch this one and pleased you found that useful. It came from decoupage on furniture and you always sand between layers of varnish to give a smooth finish. So I thought it must work on paper too. I love to watch your process videos I find them very relaxing too. Thank you for all you do xx

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Andrea, who knew!! I LOVE the feel after the sanding! Thank you for the great tip! Hope you don't mind me chatting about you in my videos. You're my hero, you know! 😘❤️

[@camillapeake2532]

I buy a full sheet of rubber backed foam from Crafters Companion to use for distressing as I can cut up into small pieces

[@gerardojoel2526]

I guess it is kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@ishaancurtis620]

@Gerardo Joel flixportal =)

[@gerardojoel2526]

@Ishaan Curtis Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !!

[@barbaraleventhal8571]

You are so clever, the choices you make, and color combinations. Love watching you create. My husband cooks dinner and cleans up, too...perfect!

[@sharongruener6078]

Love Love these cuties. TFS Especially liked the guy sitting in the bushes.

[@erika3293]

Hi Gayle I've been following along on this Christmas journal journey but I have to say the guy sitting on the leaf sent me over the edge. I can't stop laughing and I can't get the image out of my head. Bahahahahahah!!!!! Seriously though, beautiful job so far. TFS.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Me too, Erika! Still makes me giggle! ❤️

[@craftyshamrockdesignsbyshe5871]

Love the napkins on the cards! Especially the guy sitting! It’s great!

[@cindycoile5989]

Thank you so much Gayle for all the wonderful ideas ! And making me smile today !!!

[@Dulceknits]

Your laughter is contagious 😂I am laughing with you as you handle the sitting guy. I hope I can find him in my T Holts pack too. Love them all.

[@rosiemaldonado1522]

Your conversations are so pleasant . Thank you . I truly enjoy watching your videos.

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

Tags are super cool, Gayle. Love the postal cancel marks and waves. TFS.

[@debbiesapp7109]

Smileing the whole time. Enjoying so much. 🎅🎄🌹🌹🌹

[@melindajohnston670]

Thank you dear Gayle for this series, I have loved it. You made me laugh so hard I snorted with the guy sitting in the holly bushes, it was fun laughing with you. Xo

[@teresaware7211]

lol I made my own distress inker. I took a empty pill bottle and glued a little piece of felt on the top of it and it has lasted quite a while. It works until I can afford to get one!

[@sunshinelynable]

Love how you've done the tags Gayle. They look great and will be a good spot to add a photo to the back

[@bluechill9956]

So adorably fun Gayle. They turned out so beautiful. Very inspirstional and Iearned some. Great tips, love the fine sanding on the decoupage.

[@DivaZRussell]

Beautiful tags! Tfs!

[@julieofcreativeartzdesigns9768]

The little guy sitting on the plant...lol! You cracked me up!! 😂😁🤣

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Haha! Cracked myself up too, Julie! 😂❤️

[@juneribbons5196]

Hi I'm June. Chelle recommended your channel. Just seeing this makes me know that I'm going to love your journals. Have to find # 1 of this series and watch from the begenning

[@junebamburg1704]

All the beautiful things in this journal and I think I like the tags the best. Thank you. I have watched all the videos. They are great.

[@cindyw6922]

You are so right the distress ink finished off those tags beautifully.

[@susanriis8984]

I am loving this whole process! So many ideas and so much fun! Love watching! Looking forward to Part 6! 💕💕💕

[@cheryl2455]

OMG! Those tags are awesome! You have so many supplies. It’s great to get do something with all your neat scrapes & stuff! Probably many years of accumulations! I am going to have to make this journal. Have never made one but it is on my list. I am current in doing scrapbooks for my sons. Gave myself permission to finish next year. They were causing me stress cause it was taking too long to finish each page. You know as a crafter every spot has got to have something on it, love this series!!

[@craftyshamrockdesignsbyshe5871]

I have the new one by Tim Holtz and it’s great, so easy to clean and work on!

[@pm7lucas]

Love the tags and your eco-dyed papers! I will have to learn how to do that! My husband sleeps in the car when I go into Michaels!

[@tfntexas]

Wow that time just flew by...it was a lot of fun seeing how you made the tags and your eco dyeing was so awesome. It kinda sounds like a lot of work but the results are really cool! Thanks for the videos!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

You're so right, Tammie! I did feel like the Eco dying was a lot of work for not that many pages. I could've coffee dyed whole bunches for the time it took to do the little stack of Eco dyed ones. But it was fun to be outside and looking at all the plants in my yard to see what might work. Then super fun to look at the results! Hugs! ❤️

[@pamketron]

Your eco-dyed paper is gorgeous. I love all the pretty colors. Would love to see how you made it. Having so much fun watching you make this journal. It’s coming along perfect. ❤️🎄❤️

[@susanthatcher126]

nice love your collaged tags i watched the other tag video as well.

[@anitawelch5355]

I've been talking back to you this entire video like yeah ohhh yeah looks good.

[@charlean_sherrod]

Wow beautiful, thanks for sharing, I love your eco dyed papers. Love your videos too, they make me happy.

[@maggiequilts]

Yes the man sitting on the plant!! Every time you laugh makes me laugh 😂

[@vickiwhitsitt5918]

Enjoying this series so much and laughing with you at the cute tag!!😁

[@ARTnDaCityCreations]

I'm really enjoying this series and I'll be rewatching once I start my Christmas journals. Just an FYI kitchen glass cutting mats work great as well and they are a lot cheaper! Tfs, Kay

[@artzology]

In my head I was sayin' Gayle you forgot one! You caught it! LOL! Your tags turned out awesome!

[@karensumner3772]

JUST LOVE THE TAGS-SO CUTE-TFS-HAVE A BLESSED DAY

[@cazyoung5887]

Love your eco papers and I really hope you can do a tutorial on them Gayle, still loving the journey for this lovely Christmas journal xx

[@TheSnippetShop]

The guy in the bush is hilarious 😂 you really cracked me up girl, too funny! Love how your tags turned out!!

[@SheilaY]

So beautiful! I broke out my Christmas supplies last weekend. So inspired by your art!

[@AFREEME22]

That file is a ‘magic eraser.’ Great idea!

[@jewelsjournals4080]

So cute Gayle! I made some the last time you did some of these. So much fun and so cute! Thank you!

[@susiesusansue3725]

Hi. Loving this series. The journal is coming along beautifully! Laughed so much with you about the Man on the Bush! Hysterical! Do you have a video on that it origami fold pocket, Love that idea. Thanks for sharing and inspiring! X-Susan

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I do have a video on the pocket, but have no idea what it’s called! I’ll have to revisit that when I get back to my Making Ephemera series! ❤️

[@valyvalou2270]

Hi Gayle I do like Arty Maze but at times add that Tim Holtz crackling medium. It makes the napkin gorgeous.. hugs from ty nd lol and of Oz :)

[@lindakitts4304]

I don’t want this Christmas series to end! Ho ho ho.

[@roseanndeighan5872]

Love your botanical boil papers! I am obsessed 😍. Loving your series on this Christmas journal 😍

[@charlotteknox8100]

Thank you, Gail. I was in need of some ideas for Christmas tags. This will help so much.

[@64053nickki]

Love it Gayle and the giggle. lol

[@pamsykes5507]

Not sure if someone has said this already but you can soak your postage stamps in water and they will fall off the paper

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Pam, great tip! Thanks! ❤️

[@theramblincrafter]

Awesome as always, Gayle! Really makes me want to make Christmas journals, maybe this week I'll have time. I'm blessed that my hubby loves to go with me to yard sales and estate sales, he's not a big fan of Hobby Lobby, but he humors me :- D. You always make me laugh, and this one was no different, I love The guy sitting in the bushes!!! Anxiously waiting for the next part! Hugs ~ Chelle

[@marygough6554]

I wish that Hobby Lobby’s registers would be more computerized. So many times I have caught later that they did not honor the price at the rack. I think that by law they are obliged to, but if they are not told that the item is on sale, the clerk might not know. I want this journal!!!

[@jeannieferdinande5805]

Mary Gough I put all my items that I think are on sale on the counter first, leave the regular price ones in the cart and then I mention that these are on sale “is that correct” so many times I don’t buy an item because it is miss marked on the shelf...easier than going back to the store🐝don’t you just love Gayle 🐇

[@gailstubbings8606]

Awww Gayle these tags are beautiful huni i am deffo using this trick to make my tags. Yes i did shout at the screen again lol.... Loving this series so so much. Ty huni xx

[@patversteeg1667]

Gayle, I buy Martha Stewart combo pack. They are sponge not felt but they are all I use and there are 5-6 different sizes in a Pak.

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

I love the little man sitting on the holly. So funny

[@lavennacarey1022]

I love the tag with the man setting it cracking me up 😂😂

[@corinnecurtis5145]

Fabulous!

[@2ndChanceCrafting]

LOL @ "Little Dude sitting in the bush"! We should make a song out of it! Does have a ring to it. For glass matts I do like the looks of Tim Holtz glass work peace he sells. I do like my 10 X 8 glass piece, bit small but for cutting fabrics it works great. Love the tags, inspired me to try this this week :)

[@artycraftydabbles]

The good thing about men not going to garage sales, craft stores etc. is that they will never know how much we actually spend. Lol. Love the tags. Sue 💜

[@teresitalamas5304]

Great job! But I thought you did not hear me shouting forgot the bugle boy with the Swirly lines🥱

[@vickievegas1837]

Gayle you know those round felt pads you buy for the bottom of chairs? They are everywhere. One of the other girls I watch said she uses them because they are so much cheaper and they fit right on top of the round one. I’m going to try it when mine wears out.

[@cathyforbes2856]

You can soak the stamps in water and the paper should slip off easily. I used to be a stamp collector!

[@danaclark8077]

You had me laughing so hard at the man sitting on the leaf that was the best 😂😂😂😂

[@karensallows9348]

Your tags are soooo cute! 😺

[@vanikurup]

This was fun. Thank you...

[@alilbitshabbyjubri6942]

I got my glass cutting board @ Walmart , Gayle and isn't the reason Andrea does her sanding the podged item is it smooths it right out and looks like a print? I love the Man's Christmas Journal. TFS! Judy

[@ladyb7699]

Hi Gayle. Loving this series. Thanks so much for sharing. What is the stamp set you used with the postmarked lines and new york cancel, etc thanks!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

ladyb it's a Graphic 45 stamp set. I don't have the name anymore, but it went with the City Scapes papers, I think. ❤️

[@carolentringer8836]

What do you use on top of the ModPodge underneath the lid? Is it to keep the lid from sticking?

[@SuperTech59]

New subbie! I am really enjoying this Christmas series! Thanks for sharing =)

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

SuperTech14 welcome to my channel! I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️

[@carolentringer8836]

What size are these tags? All the layering looks great.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Carol, I think about 3 x. 6. 😁

[@barbaraleventhal8571]

My husband spied the man in the bush and thought he looked like Buster Keaton. Ha!

[@mspaula0509]

You may have answered this somewhere on one of your videos...but why do you put wax paper (?) on the modge podge before closing it? Does it keep it from drying out? Or just makes it easier to open up?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Paula, you’re right! It makes it easier to open....doesn’t glue itself shut! ❤️

[@jeannieferdinande5805]

Still looking for cancellation stamp...any ideas where to look? ☃️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

jeannie ferdinande other than Etsy, EBay and Amazon, I’m not sure. A web search? ❤️

[@joycecrull8986]

your hubby sounds like mine! he will not go to hobby lobby with me ! if we stop by so i can run in for something he sits in the car. lol

[@sandy_521lakestreet]

do you have any issues with the Mod Podge being sticky when it is dry? My hubby worked for HL so he refuses to go in that store, and he owned his own arts and crafts store before we got married...the big ones bore him....but...he Loves garage sales!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Wow! A husband that owned an arts and craft store! Sounds like heaven to me!! 😄. Sometime times Mod Podge can be sticky, but this sanding technique would sure take care of that! ❤️

[@carollaws838]

love these tags - I think you need to keep the tag with the man sitting on the holly leaf, just to make you smile :):)

[@kelseypetersen8442]

Why do you put wax paper under the lid on your mod podge?

[@lorieduff7126]

I love the bush man !! Lol the tags are so cute! I want to try the plant paper what is that called do I can watch and try?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Lorie, lots of videos out there if you search Eco dying paper. ❤️

[@maggiequilts]

I love watching you create Gayle ❤️ i usually sit and do some tatting for my journals while i watch you. How long have you been doing the junk journals? You seem to have lots to work with. ❤️🙂💝

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Maggie, I think I’ve been doing them about two years. But before that I did mixed media art, so you’re right! I have lots of stuff!! ❤️

[@sandy_521lakestreet]

what size are these tags Gayle? I need to order a bunch! Sandy

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I think 3 x 6ish. ❤️

[@cydneysanchez9570]

Do you ever soak your stamps?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Cydney, just learned about that here! ❤️

[@artymaze]

Of course I don’t mind It will be your turn soon xx

[@pamb9872]

Love the tags! What is Andreas channel name?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Artymaze. 😄❤️

[@pamb9872]

Thank you, will check her out.

[@JessicaHarris]

Those tags are awesome! You should scan them and sell the digital images on Etsy....

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Gosh, Jessica, I wouldn't have a clue how to do the digital thing! I haven't gone there because I don't love sitting at the computer! 😄. But thanks so much for thinking I could!! ❤️

[@carolentringer8836]

Oh I think I can see that it's waxed paper.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Carol Entringer YES! ❤️

[@abijithsebastian3453]

Ok
