    Very helpful, Gayle! I've not seen you do it this way before, and I've seen before I actually sewed in the signatures of the LGB I'm doing for my son. :) Whoohoo! I have to go to the craft room and see which way suits best the book I'm using. Nice to have an option.

    I saw this and looked at my husband and said "OOOooo should I not watch so I am surprised when it gets here"? He said "Well hun, you know you will not be able to NOT watch it so just watch it"! LOL. I really love this way of doing the LGB pages, especially since some signatures have so few pages in some LGB's. I think I will do mine this way from now on. Looks fantastic! Paper is gorgeous!

Someone also gave me a doll clothes pattern book that I think would make neat pages in a book. Maybe I will have something to share some day with you. You are so inspiring to watch and learn from. Merry Christmas!

    I realize this is an older post but you can remove the "gold" or "Silver" spine lining by using your heat gun and melting the old glue off. I tried it today and it really works. I think they are an important part of the little books.

      I watched the previous demo on this and used it. Really like the method! It works really well!Thank you! A thought- there seems to be a lot of white on the outside edge of the pages. Couldn't you cut a bit off on that side and make the fold smaller? Then you wouldn't lose as much of the picture on the page.

    Hi Gayle! I find it so much easier to remove the staples from the binding, take the book apart and use the pages whole without any folding or cutting... have you tried it this way? It lessens the amount of steps involved in making the journal...❤️❤️❤️

    • @gayleagostinelli_ct
      @gayleagostinelli_ct  6 років тому +1

      Joan, I’m not sure I’m understanding what you’re saying. I did remove the staples and take the book apart. But cutting the book cover to make a front and back and expand the spine requires adjusting the pages so they don’t stick out. Let me know what I’m missing. ❤️

    • @Canadian693
      @Canadian693 6 років тому +1

      Joan, I have altered my first 2 Little Golden Books and I have not folded my story pages and kept them the way they came out of the book. I followed a tutorial by Grammies Keepsakes. Don’t get me wrong, I love Gayle’s work, I just didn’t want to fold my story pages. Thanks for sharing.

    • @joaniesjournals5329
      @joaniesjournals5329 6 років тому +1

      Gayle Agostinelli Hi Gayle! I never cut the cover, my cover remains whole. I followed a tutorial by Paula Foerder, I believe, and one by GrammiesKeepsakes. Both of these tutorials keep the book covers whole so that when you add the new spine, the book is long enough/wide enough to keep the pages “whole”....I stitch the pages into the spine(along with the pages I add) and everything is the right size...I know that my explanation is probably not clear but perhaps if you look at these other ladies channels, it might make more sense....I am NOT good at explaining...I love watching your tutorials! You are always so cheerful and informative, I started making journals and have finally gotten brave enough to open my own etsy shop...I bought a childrens book from you! You remarked that you liked my name in your little note to me! Keep those videos coming... and don’t mind the noises your hubby makes, my hubby ALWAYS has to have a conversation with me every time we are sharing office space....cannot fault him though because just like your hubster, MINE COOKS TOO! Gotta love ‘em.... Happy Holidays! ❤️❤️❤️

I just opened my own Etsy shop and have two of my LGB journals for sale...I used “Grammies” technique.....and my ephemera and page ideas come from all the UA-camrs I love...Gayle, Diane H., Grammie, RenewedandCrafted4U, Tracie Fox, Wendy’s Journals....Happy Holidays! ❤️❤️❤️

    Hi Gayle, I have a couple of Snow White LGBs. One has a good clean cover and pages and the other one the cover is shot but the pages are good. Do you have any thoughts on how I can combine the two? Maybe use graphics of book #2 for tags, tuck spots, envelopes etc?. Thanks! XX, D.

    • @gayleagostinelli_ct
      @gayleagostinelli_ct  6 років тому

      Diane, yes! That’s exactly what I would have said is that you could use the pages from the ruined cover for ephemera. Another thought might be to create a different cover for them and proceed as you normally would. You could use a heavy chipboard, cover it with fun paper or fabric or any other method of cover making. You would just need to make the cover the right size to fit the pages. I bet your creative must will get you going on this one!! Hugs to you! ❤️

      Jacqueline, the paper is an old paper pad from K and Co. Another subbie said it’s discontinued. A suggestion....check your local thrift store for LGB and pick up one there to alter. They are super cheap and one step away from the garbage, so maybe it’ll be easier for you to make a journal from it! ❤️
