    This is absolutely fantastic! I am a beginner…maybe a month now, and this was the best beginner video I have seen. It had a lot of information and was the basics needed to get started. Am still binge watching your videos and loving them all! Your joy is contagious and I love starting my day watching your videos. It has helped so much as I am struggling at work these days. You start my day on a positive note. Thanks for all you do!

      Can I make a cover like this to use for a flip out envelope 1 signature section? I have kind of bound some coffee dyed envelopes together, about 8 and needed an idea for a journal cover. Do you think tour cover process will work for this? Its my first one.

    Your enthusiasm and encouragement are boundless, as evident in this video. Thanks for encouraging us all to use things on hand. I cut a couple of thin card fliers to use as bases for journal cards and tags. There's a bag of mail that needs sorting, so my next step is obvious! Thanks again, and have a super day! 👌

    Gayle you are so good to always take The time to help the newbies. And you always explain it so well. To all the newbies. I to was nervous to try making a journal. I loved making the ephemera and finding the papers to go in the signatures. It was sewing in the signatures that had me scared. But I would tell Gayle and she would encourage me and finally one day after watching one of her videos she reminded me that it’s only paper and it can be undone and fixed. So I got enough nerve to try. My youngest had a birthday coming up and I knew no matter how bad it was he would love it and be proud of me. So I proceeded to try. It took me two weeks and taking the signature out twice and resewing it in. But when it was all done it turned out pretty good. So just give it a try. What’s the worst that can happen? Maybe tossing it in the trash but I bet you won’t because it will be ok. Even if you have to try three times to get it right. Be encouraged 😊❤!

    Hi Gale,
    As a newbie to "junk journals" I can see that the process of fearlessly ripping away on junk mail takes the sting out of the guilt that occurs if we make mistakes. The way you teach this project is so much fun to watch as you effortlessly create a snazzy little journal in less than an hour. Thank you for sharing your time & talent and making us all smile & laugh.

    Great video, Gayle! After weeks of watching you and several others, I finally got brave enough to make a journal, but I used junk mail instead of my pretty papers. That took off the pressure of messing up since I knew I could throw it in the trash without feeling guilty if it sucked! After that, I asked myself why I had been so hesitant! I was very pleased with the results and now have an art journal where I can practice collage, painting, etc., without pressure. Maybe this will encourage someone else who has the same fears I did. It's so much fun! Just do it!

At this point I’m on journal number 6, I’ve been crafter for many years paper and much more and I’m enjoying journal making intensely inspired by you! If I had a wish or request to all the journal master creators it would be for a source to find all the different elements (pockets, tucks, belly bands ect) and the variations of them in one place. It most likely would be impossible I guess since there is such an amazingly wide diversity of all of them. With that said I want to thank you in all sincerity Gayle for all of your unselfish sharing of your knowledge & time!
