Start to Finish Stash Journals with Fabric Paper Covers-Part 1

[@pamketron]

I just wanted you to know that YOU are just so much fun to hang out with. You do the BEST “craft we me” videos ever. It’s just like you are here one-on-one. Not everybody has the ability to talk just about every day life like you do and make everybody feel like they are there with you. You truly have a gift that I am so thankful you share with all of us. You are a treasure my sweet friend. If I ever make it to Montana (which I would love to do) I’m going to look you up to meet you in person. Maybe one day, you will just turn the camera around and show us the sweet face behind your sweet voice. Have fun on your trip. Stay safe in your crazy weather. Big Hugs! 🌷🦜🤗💕🦋🐿

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Aw, Pam, thank you so much! I hope if you do make it to Montana that you’ll let me know! We could have a big play!!! As far as turning the camera around, I have an idea for my retreat in May. We’ll see if that pans out! Big hugs and loves to you! ❤️

[@pamketron]

Gayle Agostinelli Yes we would have a big play!!! Yay maybe in May you will turn your camera around at your retreat. Hope you do film some of the retreat for us so we can get an idea of how it looks. Have you watched Big Sky on HGTV? It’s filmed in Montana and it’s some of the most beautiful views. It’s a series so it’s not on all the time but I love to watch it. It’s about buying and selling houses in “Big Sky Country” - Montana. I’ll try and remember to let you know when it starts back. Hugs! 🤗🦜🌷🦋💕

[@REDUNICORNKNIGHT]

Hey Gayle, really enjoyed your video, cool papers, also I will miss you while you are gone because you make us laugh, but being with your grand daughter is far more important, hope you all have a wonderful time watching her play volley ball, and stay safe,

[@dorisramos9134]

OMG those sunflower pages make me gasp, they are stunning! All the collections are soo beautiful. I really like all those color on those tones they make me calm.

Watching you as you work and listening to your chatting... I find I talk to myself, even during my daily tasks. I try only positive talk, but sometimes "oh, crap" slips out... thanks for sharing!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Believe me, an oh crap or two have crossed these lips! 😂🥴❤️

Loved watching you "squirrel" and play with aging up the papers! I had to dig in my trash to retrieve my old distress ink pad that I had just thrown away!😁 Thanks for the fun video. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Enjoy your grandkids time.💕

[@tfntexas]

That was fun Gayle! Looking forward to seeing what you do with these journals. Enjoy your time with family!

[@verachyz9079]

The last paper reminds me of looking up into trees after the leaves have fallen; very pretty.

[@dianerichard-pierson9269]

Always glad to stop by here and catch up on what's happening in Gayleland. Those coffee dyed papers you are flaunting are just de-lish! XX, D.

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

Oooooh the random ephemera is GORGEOUS! 😍 what a fun episode of craft with me. I watch videos at the end of the day, when I am pooped out... this one was so much fun I wanted to jump out of bed and start crafting along with you. I am missing mixed media, too! 😘

[@cynthiamostacato7894]

You are so organized! I love your system of choosing papers. I am so inspired by your techniques. I want to go craft right now but it is 3:30am here and I have a migraine so will craft have to craft later! Love your covers. Can’t wait till the next video.

[@tuthillg]

Gorgeous experiments! TFS the inspiration to try new things, Gayle!

[@avahall2575]

I, too, hit the thumbs up before watching the video! You always make such wonderful and informative videos. Keep 'em comin' ! You never disappoint! As a new subscriber I look forward to all of your ideas!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’m so glad you’re here as a new subscriber, Ava! ❤️

[@cathyghan9056]

omg those last papers you did are beautiful

[@RoseD2016]

I love your ideas. The mixed media is gorgeous! Have a great weekend Gayle. 💞😍

[@nancyjustice8524]

So sweet - as always thanks for sharing your ideas and enjoy your stories

[@brendaclark2703]

Good morning Gayle! Thanks for visit! I’m so happy you are working with these covers! I made a couple along with you awhile back and have been trying to figure out how to get started with them. I will most definitely be watching this series closely i think the thing with me is they are stiff so I’m hoping they soften with use. Have a very blessed day ❤️🌹

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

They should soften with use. But I suppose if you used thicker papers they may stay a little more stiff. Either way they make a good tough cover! ❤️

[@joanwertman9059]

I love the papers you did with the ink pad..especially the last one. It looks like tree branches to me.

[@pamb9872]

WOW! Once again your creative adventures prove that sometimes you just jump in with both feet and just experiment! As always they turned out beautifully! Love the glisten the gel medium added to the paper..not to mention I loved the paper before you "improved," it. I wish I could find some of the unique paper you find. .... You must have great thrift stores!!

[@Happy2Plan]

Who is in the thumbs up club? I am!! Yay!! Love start to finish series. - Crystal

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

😘😘😘❤️

[@tbearkelly]

Gayle, you made this video so much fun for me! I had been having a bit of a struggle with my aesthetic of sort of pastels and shabby chic and how to add a bit more of a vintage ( but not SO grungy) look. The spontaneous distressing of the embossed stationery is perfect for me (especially crinkling the paper first). So thank you! I love hearing about your grandkids too. I have five myself, and they call me Grammy. Just to tell you how nuts I am about them, my 2 yr old grandson thinks my name is, “Oh, Baby!” ‘cause he’s so cute that’s the first thing I say every time I see him. Thanks for a wonderful crafting session, Dear Montana Lady!

[@veronicawhite398]

Love the inked paper, Gayle. The intructions on some of the distress ink pads say to do that method of inking. Safe trip to you!

[@artzology]

Such great ideas Gayle! Love your channel and enjoy the stories too! lol ♥

[@janetbrown1521]

Love the last of your papers. Also the fun you had with the flowered stationery was good. I don't have coffee dyed paper so I'll just do this .

[@dianepetrie7569]

Thanks, so much, Gayle! I love how your artistic gift shows in EVERYTHING you do. Your ideas are inspiring and you are so generous with them! I always look forward to your videos! Enjoy your “time off” but hurry back. We all miss you when you are gone.♥️

[@annalba]

Love how you have everything organized by paper add-in and all the good stuff. My gosh, I loved the rose paper & envelope without but oh man when you added the stain & that gel stuff, it really made it vintage. I will have to look at your paper fabric tutorial, I may have seen it before A refresher is in the works.

[@sharonrosenelson8659]

I would love to see you make a mixed media journal! You are so talented.

[@michelledekker7654]

Wow, I love this video!! You are so inspiring. Your ideas and knowledge are so inspiring. Your work is always so beautiful!!! Thank you for taking the time to inspire!!!

[@helenascott389]

You are so brave to distress up everything. I’ve got to get some courage and go for it on some of my papers! The end paper has a wintery feel to it and would make a great digital. TFS. Safe trip 😻

[@billiejoethomason6075]

Can’t wait for Part 2 ! !

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

It’s coming! Just a few other little things to do first! Giveaway winner to be chosen tomorrow. And have been working like a dog on getting some Etsy listings ready too!! Back to the journals soon!! ❤️

[@lorieduff7126]

Yes that’s a great way to put the digitals! Was wondering how to do that! Thank you!!

[@brendagraw3729]

Wow that last page is Gorgeous! These journals are going to be beautiful. I have tried to coffee dye with doilies but they don't look like Yours! Can't wait to see more.

[@pqjones0729]

OMG!! I LOVE THAT FROG!!!!

[@brendaaller4069]

Hit thumbs up before I even watched it because I know I will love it!!!!😊💕

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

😂😂😂 Thank you! ❤️

[@andera554]

I did the same. :)

[@SammiJarrad]

I always do the same. 😁

[@patriciahavill8099]

I always do that when I have to shoot off and then I come back and watch the whole video . We all seem to be creatures of habits I guess . We just love Gayle . She should be on tv. Xxxx cheers from Oz.

[@Happy2Plan]

We need to start a club!! 👍🏻

[@lorigoodman3780]

I love your ideas. I'm playing with rice paper on canvas because you inspired me with the fabric paper covers. Keep up the great work!! I enjoy your videos!!

[@suzanneproulx8768]

Wow love the paper

[@rosbarkla9741]

Crazy turns are fun. The gel effect seemed to enhance the flowers.

[@whyrocha]

Fun, fun, fun!!! Thank you for another wonderful video! My Oldest granddaughters(10 & 8) are coming over this afternoon and we're going to make paper fabric covers for their junk journals. 😆😆😆 At least we're going to try.

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

Hi Gayle, recent new subbie here, absolutely bamboozled by everything to do with making and using journals!! Have watched sooo many videos and ended up STILL as confused at the end of each one lol....until this fab tutorial....NOW I GET IT 😂😂😂...now I feel as if there is an actual purpose to a journal. You have made the process look so interesting..I can't wait to start one for myself...NOW I see how digital kits etc are supposed to be used..phew, I should sleep peacefully tonight instead of torturing myself with " how come everyone but me seems to 'get' this journalling malarky " 😂 can't tell you the relief I feel lolol. Really looking forward to your next tutorial. Thank you 😍

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Well, Viv, my new friend, you just crack me up!! It’s easy to be bamboozled by all this malarkey! Haha!! I’m so glad my video helped De- mystify a bit! Another video you might enjoy is called Beginner Tutorial-Making a simple journal... or something like that. It’s in my playlist under Tutorials. I really want you to sleep well tonight! Hugs my funny friend! ❤️

[@rankinstudios5342]

I loved this play session! That paper turned out looking antique or vintage. I, also, go down the rabbit hole when I'm arting, lol. Watch your channel daily! Have learned so many good things from you!

[@karensumner3772]

SUCH LOVELY IDEAS/PROJECT-TFS WITH US-LOVE HEARING ABOUT YOUR GRAND KIDS-I KNOW YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING TO THEM-AND TOO US -HUGS/BLESSINGS

[@JayneCatherineOnBooks]

Great fun getting messy with inks. Another great video. Thank you🐥

[@SageDeerborn]

Been catching up on your videos. Love this new series.

[@peggyeaton6601]

You stated that you like to use supplies for what they aren’t intended. I do too. I’m always telling my granddaughter to think outside the box. Just because something is made for one thing be thinking what else you might use it for.

[@relaxcutglue]

I didn’t want this video to end!❤️ Have a great weekend🏐

[@charlottemarek3045]

I love that last piece of paper you scrunched and inked. I will definitely be doing that. Before you sew in your signatures, you might want to test some of that amber gel on a scrap & let it dry, to see if you can still write on it. Shiny usually doesn't like pens. Enjoy the volleyball tournament!

[@susannaeasdale1162]

Loved watching you go off doing mixed media, l can really relate. And l really love the precious moments papers sooo pretty. Hugs Susanna xx

[@SammiJarrad]

I love listening to you craft. I’m super curious to see how the stationary looks when it’s dry. Tfs Gayle! 💜😁👍🏻

[@creativespacejeannie279]

Always a delight to watch Loving the gel effect New idea ❤️ works great 👍🏼 Crazy turns are the best

[@debbieevans4813]

I am back. Love watching you with all that talent. Looking for your Rose in Bloom decorated video

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Those videos are under the playlist Start to Finish Journals on my channel. They all start with the words Start to Finish Vintage Book Journal. Hope that helps! ❤️

[@jbeaudi]

This was the best sounding video, I loved all the crinkly paper sounds! Congratulations on 20,000 subbies!

[@paulaniles6457]

OMGoodness...my favorite part is the stationary that you used your distress ink and glass gel on....love it!!!

[@barbarahatfield9658]

Just love all of this especially the page did ,putting ink all over love than one . Have a great time with your grandchild chow for now

[@Emmaandlucy743]
