Oh sweet Gayle, you are like part of my family. Here in Argentina is really late when you post your videos, you are my company at night, thank you for being there. Sometimes I feel so lonely but you are there with your happy laught. Thanks for exist and calm my anxiety with your beautiful work and happiness
I love working with packaging. I take the plastic, bubble wrap type and cut into 2 pieces. Then I slide each piece into a paper mailing envelope (inexpensive when bought at the dollar stores if you don't have any to recycle) seal it, fold in half and tada! A squishy journal cover with easy to glue on base. Works well with fabric or paper. TFS Hope you have a great day. 🌞
Have a friend with the same personality and she keeps us “old” girls moving. We are high school friends (53 years😳, some from kindergarten). You’re both a blessing! Thanks 🥰
I am always surprised when I hear my name during your Hi & Hugs! Thanks for your gratitude for my gratitude Gayle! I have so much fun washi you in action! I mean watching you in action! Can't wait to hear more stories!!! The covers turned out great! Cheers ❤
Oh my friend how I have missed you!! I am just getting into the swing of being on summer break and already planning for my last and final year of teaching, 30 years under my belt!! I LOVE using Amazon packaging for inside my covers!! It's the best!! I am putting together a quick prayer journal for a friend of my mom's and just used batting, it's just not the same!! Looking forward to many late nights of crafting along!! Always, Leslie
After reading the comments here, all I can say is…yes! Wow! We all feel the same way about you! Whenever your video starts playing, and you say, “Hi, it’s Gayle!” It always brightens up my day! I have to smile and say Hey Gayle! This video was so helpful! Covers intimidate the heck out of me! But I’m going to get some going this afternoon! Thank you!
I am so looking forward to seeing you make a bug journal. That fabric is a perfect cover. Working your charm to turn creepy crawlies into something beautiful has to be high on the watch list! 😊 I stayed at my Mum's most of this week and played her the Etsy share you did for me. She was quite tickled with it. ❤ Belinda xxx
I have made so many collage covers with Amazon packaging because of you. I save every brown envelope that comes from Amazon lol. Collage was always so intimidating before but you inspired me so much and now I love it so much. So thank you Gayle for the inspiration!
Love the crinkly sound of those Amazon covers. The flowers with butterflies turned out so pretty. The bug fabric is really neat. Can’t wait to see you do that journal. Have a blessed day!
Good Afternoon Gayle! Love using Amazon packages for covers, I also insert the bubble ones into the 9 x 12 envelopes and seal up. Love the material and collage too. Have a wonderful crafting Tuesday. 👍🌸🌸🌸
Oh, Gayle, I must agree with you. I love to collage and while I enjoy everything my least favorite would have to be binding. My hubby would say finishing is my least favorite thing. I have a plethora of soon to be finished journals.
Hi Gayle, Thank you for teaching and showing us how to use the ccx envelop techniques!!!! I just luv this way of making covers. I has become my favorite type of cover. Luv & Peace, Charito XO
I like the crunchy paper Amazon envelopes. I was concerned when they changed from the plastic bubble ones, but the crunch is nice. I like bugs in art. I’ve alway loved the old master’s paintings of florals arrangements with a bug crawling on the leaf or flower.
Hi, my friend in Montana, as always love your videos. You kept me going whilst I was grieving for my mum and I've finally got my mojo back. It's only taken me two year!! I find your videos so inspiring, definitely going to try the Momagarmy or however you spell it paper. Off to the pound store tomorrow!! Hugs Becky in the UK. X
Gayle you are my inspiration for junk journalling. Love all your work and crafty humour about the most mundane things. Take care and keep on crafting my friend.
You are a great inspiration Gayle. Thank you for all your hard work and for all the laughs. Your works are absolutely amazing. I love to watch you work and watch your process. ❤
Good Morning Gayle, yes you’ve been talking about the Bug Journal for quite a while. I know it’s outside your comfort zone. Bugs aren’t your favorite 😂 Proud of you going for it! Have a beautiful day my friend ❤️💕❤️
Hello Gayle, I was so bummed that I never got the brown Amazon packaging and finally got one last week. Will eventually be used as a collage cover, thanks to watching you create yours.💙
Gayle, I made one piece of the mommagomi paper yesterday, LOVE it! Under a fast approaching deadline for a gift journal, will be scheduling a mommagomi day real soon!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Good morning..I never get tired of watching you collage...so relaxing!! Now off to get ready for work. I'm training someone so it's a longer day. Have a great day!🤗🤗💜💜
Good morning Gayle! Your collage covers always turn out so beautiful. Ever since the first time I saw you make tags with Amazon packaging it's been one of my favorite things to make. Thank you, you always inspire me.
Love watching you make covers. Would love to see one of the covers with all the little bits of fabric and lace although I guess I could go back and rewatch the older video 🤔🤪
I literally hot a brown Amazon package just a few hours ago!!! When I saw this 2-Part Video; I just had to watch it! Guess I know what I'll be doing after Dinner tonight! LOL!
that's such a great idea. I have some envelopes from Amazon, but an even bigger one from H&M which has similar bags. Now I have something to attempt myself ...🥀🌹🌷
How did I not see this video a month ago!? I love this! I always click on your videos as soon as the notification comes up! Somehow I missed this, and have been making covers from the Amazon envelopes, but see that I have been doing them wrong!😳
Good morning Gayle!! Collaged cover turned out so pretty. Bugs and I don't get along...😂 My least favorite part of journal making is also the binding. My favorite part is all the rest of the process. Although I still have a hard time knowing when to stop decorating!! 🤣 Love watching you collage, so relaxing. Have an awesome day...💜
Morning Gayle! Quite by coincidence, I received two large Amazon envelopes in the past few days. Also found one more in my stash, and I too have an embarassing amount of digitals, so guess what? Making covers this week! Love how yours turned out, but that's not a surprise. 😊 Thanks so much, as always, for the inspiration and for letting us look over your shoulder! Cheers from Denver CO!
I like the crinkle under the fabric, too. This may have convinced me to use fabric rather than collaging on mine. 😉 I wonder if I covered it with one large paper and glued that down to it if that would cause "crinkle loss", too. 🤔
As always love your covers!! I got one of these envelopes the other day, smaller than yours. I actually made a cover with half of it already. Love the way it feels! I don't have a bunch of pretty digitals, so I just collaged random papers, mostly drop paper to mine. Plus some bits of fabric. I forgot about adding corners. I think I have some; I may actually use them.
"Hi and hugs" from Cheraw, SC. Tried the Mommogami and it is so much fun. I love Amazon bag stuff for journals. Who knew theyd be so versatile? I covered a hardback book in scraps of black leather this week with glue. Time will tell how this altered book turns out. Stay warm. ❤
Amazing to watch you collage. It came out beautiful. The bug cover is cute and different….really can’t wait to see how that turns out. Happy Tuesday!!😁💕 49:12
I've saved every paper Amazon mailer I've received over the past year. I was able to make three covers from one large one. I decoupaged them with book pages and napkins. I love how they turned out, but I lost the crunchyness. I love the fabric ideas.
My least favorite part is making the covers, I never know exactly what to do. My favorite part is picking the papers for the pages and making some of the pages digitally if I don’t have any digital‘s. Right now I’m working on a camera/photography journal and I have no digital‘s in that theme so I’ve been making things which really takes a lot of time but I enjoy that part. One of these days I’m going to make a journal like you do, I’m going to pick a digital and make it all out of that digital, I don’t think I’ve ever done that. I just usually use a little bit from this digital, a little from that one, a little from this one, and mix them all up. I think when I finish this one I’m going to do a more girly feminine one which is not me but I don’t hate. I have some dollhouse wallpaper for the cover so it really sounds like I need a digital from Ruby and Pearl XO or Chapter One, or Taylormade Journals. I need to finish this one before I think about the next one.
Hello Gayle ❤. Thanks for this inspiration. I received a large Amazon package envelope yesterday and was wondering if I could use it for a cover. What timing! Those two covers are so cute!
I almost never get those brown Amazon envelopes, 95% of the time I get the blue and white plastic ones. I’m also always jealous when somebody’s using the packing paper from Amazon I never ever get packing paper, if something comes in a box I get the air pillows. I wouldn’t worry about skinning a cat I just recently found out that that saying means catfish, I don’t know if that’s true or not but it makes me feel better.

No matter what, you always do so much more in an hour than I do. I end up staring off into space trying to figure out what to do next. 😊

I always enjoy your cover making videos. Love to collage. The cloth bug cover will be the crunchy, fun cover.
Love how the collage covers! Thanks so much for the shout out! ❤
Love your designs...
Always, my friend! Thank YOU for your wonderful digitals to work with! ❤
Love using Amazon packaging in my covers, thanks to you. You are so inspiring!! Thank you for being you and all your videos!! ❤😍

Hi Gayle!! It's been awhile!! Life stuff!! I've always enjoyed watching you create your covers!! These are pretty cool!! TFS!! Take Care!! Hugs, Liz:)
I absolutely love your videos.😊
-You just amaze me!!!.
Hi friend! Love when you do covers! My fave! Admittedly, I’m no good at collage 😢. Blessings 💜 Patty
Hi Patty! ❤
I like the bugs!
I try to watch very early and I love it….. beautiful journal cover❤️❤️❤️
Love it Gayle... I think I prefer the fabric one, over the paper one.. I don't think I'd like the crinkling in my journal. TFS
Hi Gayle, I’m loving this video, I think my favorite journal covers are the ones that are collaged… 💕🌸💕

How many signatures would you do in the collage one. It's beautiful
Hi Gayle, Thanks for the video! how come you didn't put a spine on this journal. How big are your signatures usually for these?
love it
