Gayle, your ideas and advice has been invaluable to me. You are delightful to see and I thank you for all you do! Thanks.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I just love your projects and your wonderful cheerfulness. You're always a bright spot in my day! Thanks!
I had the same problem with the glue so I opted to sew in the pockets. I also stapled on tabs to reinforce the outside tops of the pockets; and added grommets to hook on various dangly things (charms, buttons, beads etc.) Such a wonderful idea Gayle! And what wonderful gifts these would make for other papercrafters who are just beginning.
I made a booklet that I am using to hold full sheets before I cut them. I plan to make this style, but had already decided that I would sew my pockets on. I can have the front and backs the same so one run of stitching on each page should work.
Barbara Szijarto, where can we see your book?
This is so cool 😎. I actually like the telephone 📞 paper. Very creative and love ❤️ all the pockets. I’ll have to make a few of these myself for all my small pieces as well. Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing. Hugs 🤗 from North Carolina
I love these type folios. I never thought to use papers I don't particularly care for. You always end up with those papers and they just sit. Good idea since it's just to hold ephemera.
PS I found a new glue on Amazon called Reptile glue. Cheaper than AGG and never clogs even if you leave the cap off. It grabs quickly and holds everything. Just thought I'd share.
Michelle Dekker thanks always good to have a glue that doesn’t clog.
Yes for sharing Reptile Glue😊
I looked it up and it was on amazon.ca for $39.99! Not too cheap here!❤️🥰🇨🇦❤️
hi gayle, so sorry to hear about the migraine and tech issues yesterday, glad your better today. 💕 i felt like i had my shoes on the wrong feet yesterday, that's the best way i know to describe a day where things just seem a tad more difficult, a little more off than usual. your folio is looking gorgeous-love all the collage and the pink seam binding really "ties it all together" beautifully 😆 thanks so much for making videos/sharing and always inspiring. i need to go back and watch the happy mail video next 👍 oh! maybe your cabinet card digis would fit in the front pockets!
I enjoy your videos immensely.
Your folio turned out beautiful. And we enjoy watching you Glue paper. I’m so glad you used the word “Inspire” because that’s what you do for us. Thank you for sharing 🤗
oh my gosh I love this video, I followed your book video yesterday. I am making my folio with you. you are amasing
I'm gluing with Gayle today :)
Hi Gayle, Love your folio it is really fun.
Thanks Gayle I had trouble getting the plastic to stick!! I finally used double sided tape. It worked! Yeah!! ❤️🥰🇨🇦❤️
I cannot wait to make one of these! You are awesome
I’ve been tearing apart thrift store book finds and fussy cutting to beat the band. Need to make some of these folios to store everything. Love how you make these functional pieces of art so beautiful! 💚
Hi Gayle!!!! Great video! thank you❤
After glueing 3 times with 3 different glues on two layers for each pocket....I created a new kind of GLUE book/portfolio! I persevered and filled it eventually with many florals. I learned a lot, Thanks once again for helping so many of us just starting.
It's nice to know I am not alone with my lack of technology! look how beautiful your work it! TFS
"Do Not Bend" - your inspirational label to be decisive, right!!
Hi Gayle Love love love your videos they are so helpful and I do love to collage along. So I decided to do a folio like you were making for my assorted bits. I had the same trouble with the glue sticking to the plastic sleeves, so I ended up sewing them together and that worked perfectly. I took the empty sleeves and just cut them down one side and left the other connected. Then I just slipped them over the end of the page, so one side on the front and the other side on the back of the page. Then I only needed to line them up and sew the other open side and bottom. and both pages were attached with one stitch on both sides. Hope that makes sense. Great project and to fill 'er up!!
Cheers
Gwynn
Genius, Gwynn! Slipping the sleeve over the end of the page!! Awesome idea!! ❤️
Oh totally love how this is turning out. Gayle just a note to yourself. I've heard you say in this video and first one that it doesnt have to be perfect because it's just for me...YOU deserve perfect too :)
Thank you for idea, always good idea👏👏👏 and so nice 👌👌
Another lovely creation. They are great to make to store all the little bits and bobs in, and so easy to see what you have and saves fussing about in envelopes/ files etc!!! Wonderful to hear about your adventure, and I am glad you are back safely. Thank you for doing all the vids in advance it’s so thoughtful of you. 😻x
I had a similar problem with the glue failing when trying to glue plastic to paper, especially if the paper was coated. I ended up sewing the plastic pockets to the pages before adding them to my book. Love your tutorials Gayle, Thanks. All the best, Kris.
I love watching and listening to you! You make learning so much fun!!!
Hi Gayle!! New subbie!! Just finished watching a few of your videos and wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoy watching them!! Your enthusiasm is contagious!! Your projects are so inspirational!! This folio idea and the one before are awesome ideas!! Your journals are amazing!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
Thank you, Liz! Welcome to my channel! I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it Gayle!!! So much goodness in one folder!!!!
I ditched the glue and I ended up using double sided 1/8 inch tape and Memorex CD/DVD plastic Keepers that I had several boxes of. (I just cut the CD holders in half to the height I wanted and it gave me two pockets, I was quite proud of myself..LOL) I can not say anything that everyone else hasn't already said about how much I love you and how wonderful you are. You deserved what Leslie and the others gifted you. Hugs and purrs
Man, you are getting sooooo good at that ruler tearing thing!! Makes me want to go out and buy one of those babies! Always fun watching you create!!
Seeing you make a second ephemera folio has prompted me to make one for myself, love the work you do Gayle x
Love to craft with you! Today I actually crafted while you did - I must admit often I just veg while I watch and listen to you :/
I suffered from migraines for years, massage helps tremendously, but a good massage therapist is hard to find sometimes!
Glad you persevered and got that Happy mail video happy!! ❤️ Love the ephemera journal.
I loved the first folio book but after seeing this new one I officially have folio envy! Going to have to make myself one. Thank you for the inspiration - and I hope that migraine of yours is over and done with. x
Hi Gayle. As always I love all your videos !!!! Thank you for taking your time to teach us new things everytime
Really practical folios and so pretty too! I need to get busy and make one of these sooner than later. TFS the inspiration, Gayle!
I looks awesome Gayle ! I feel special having a page in your new book ! ;)
Loved the last tutorial on the folio and made one myself. I’ve not finished it and this has made me get it out again. I love these. Like you say it’s nice to make something to keep for yourself. Lisa and the Alpacas 🤗🦙♥️
Love the storage idea! So fun. Thanks
I love this folio idea for keeping all your stickies and fussy cut outs. Tfs. xxx
Always love watching your videos I am new to all this and I have ordered a blank journal.cant wait to start with your by my side.Thanks again for all the work you put into every video ❤️
Great way to organise ephemera - I see everyone making these now :) Will have to try one!
I love this. Cool idea for storing ephemera.
Oh my gosh!!...when you got to the part where you were looking at the labels for the pocket next to the mushroom pocket you chose my favorite label for that pocket...love watching your videos!!
Looking really nice. Absolutely love the mushroom stamp set!!!
So pretty!! And handy! I love Art Glitter Glue, but discovered there are places it just doesn't always work. But overall it's great. Thanks for sharing! I love watching!❤️
I also have a book of protectors. But I still have albums to scrapbook. When I turned 70 I thought should organize and write stories of all my pictures. About 2/3 rd s done but one day watched a junk journal video and was hooked. Thanks for your videos love all your ideas.
This is so fun. I’ve started one for me. But you must not say it doesn’t have to be perfect because it’s only for you - hey, you deserve perfect as much as anyone. (Of course none of us will get perfect anyway. Ha)
Hello, so so awesome and turned out pretty...glad you're working on this...teeheee. good to know that glue works, somewhat. I have 3-in, hope that will work too. Love that mushroom stamp- adorable. A new glue stick IS exciting!! Wow, you have alot of ephemera. I'll have to build up my supply.
It’s looking great. I started my ephemera folder too & ran into the art glitter glue came loose too I re-glued them with fabri-tac. I am using an old photo book. It’s about 8x10 it is working pretty good. I hated to throw it away. It is a 3 ring binder. I think it’s going to be good! I have 2 of them. Seems to be the right size to slide in & out without troubles. Thanks for the great video!
Quick tip if you need to non-stick your pages put a little powder onto the sticky spots. Makes it smell nice too.
ok. I made one similar to your previous video on the ephemera holder. I too had problems with the glue holding. I tried many glues. My latest thought it to try sewing them on. I'll let you know how it goes. Gayle, Diana has been doing the migraine thing too. She too has had trouble with uploading videos to youtube. It maybe a youtube problem. I have had over 10 days of on again off again migraines too. It's horrible. I feel your pain!!! I'm working on a happy mail box for each of my faves on youtube and you are one of them. Great as always. Thanks
Love this folio too. You turned an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan with pretty papers! Lol
The mushroom you stamped is a morel. Dad & I go mushroom hunting every spring for these. They are delicious fried.
Glad you are feeling better. Migraines are no fun at all. Hugs.
Yeah I was going to say can you sew them? I made one of these when you did before and I love it! And I am going to have to make another one as well. We have too much stuff! But having this is so helpful. I am using stuff that I didn’t even know I had lol. You’re the best!🤗🤗🤗
Hi Gale...just started watching your videos. ..apart from inspiring me...you sure know how to make someone laugh....I thoroughly enjoy your amazing videos. ..please continue with this good job...
Looking good! Love good organization! :) Someday, I will be, again! lol tyfs
Thank you for showing is how to make this. I am def doing this....soon!
This is fabulous, I so need to have one of these, like a really big one :)
Awwwww, Gayle--I have barometric pressure-triggered migraines too. As much as I like spring, the changeable weather makes for a lot of down time as the only thing that relieves the pain is total darkness and quiet. Sending hugs.
If you dust the plastic with talc they will stop sticking. Love your videos Gayle
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the entire video and think your books are lovely. On this last one, I especially liked the pocket collages and the sunflower page. The mushroom stamps are yummy.
I hope you manage to control the migraines. I have had years of problems with classic migraines - the ones with jagged lights and edges, followed by the headache (sometimes as many as 5 in one day) They are so debilitating and exhausting. I can definitely trace many of them to stress and overdoing things, so make sure you monitor that. I am currently free of them, thank goodness! Take care X
love this idea I need these Oh dear!! mine are everywhere. Hugs for you and yours.
I am having the same problem with the page protectors not sticking. Thought it was something I was doing wrong. Sorry it is happening to you ,but glad I'm not the only one. Haha Thought that sewing them in would be good but too late for that now since I have attached the signitures already. Will try the washy tape idea. I am new to your channel and new to junk journaling so glad I have found you both!! Micki
I’m glad you love them stamps, I like them too.
Another great video-I was able to eat a lot of cheez its and a coke while you accomplished a folio😜 no dinner for me!! PS it was worth it, I always learn something.
I love these folios...I need to make at least one!
We are all so different. I have tremendous patience for some things, but I couldn't be bothered to make something like this. I did like the papers before you covered them, though (and after). Vive la difference! Thanks for sharing. Elaine x
Love your folio... not feeling so bad now cuz I decorated mine just like an album cover I would sell....lol...prettiest darn folio around for scraps!!!! Lol
My Fabri-tac didn’t work. I ended up using my ATG gun double sided tape and it worked great! Love your folio, will definitely be making another one,
Fabulous!
I just made your last ephemera folio and used acetate but will be needing another one and I will be using those plastic sheets but I think I will sew them in! Great idea, love it! xo
well done gayle! great idea with picture thingies. one could sew them if they were so inclined. i have trouble making glue work on plastic or acetate. thanks for sharing your talents.
LOVE YOUR NEW BOOK-ITS SO NICE-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS
I always get joked at and teased for having a lot of crafting stuff...but then I show them your stash....🤣🤣🤣
I help in any way I can!! 😂❤️
What a wonderful art day :)
Folio is looking lovely!
Hello Gayle, Thank You for the tutorial Hugs : )
I used the carpet tape. Cheaper then score tape and worked pretty well
I took apart a small photo album from the dollar store, and I’m going to them in my journal and folios. Nice deep pockets. I will use stronger glue for sure. I might try using my washi tape that has carpet tape behind it, should hold up good. 😀
I love the paper you just covered up. I would have left it.
Gayle, try a strip of your carpet tape, that might hold your pockets to the paper. Worth a try. Sandie
Lovely.
I making one as we speak also I had a box of the page protectors ! Great idea !,
Love this folio! ❤️
Oh one more thing, I received my Edith Holden the country diary of an Edwardian Lady. Oh my goodness I don’t think I can cut this up to use in journals! It is so beautiful!😳🤗
If I owned that I wouldn't be able to cut that up either.
Hi Gayle I now use tracing paper for my pockets. I can still see through it but it glues down first time.
I got so frustrated using different clear products that wouldn't stay glued. I tried sewing - it slipped. Tried washi and that kept lifting too. It is so frustrating when you put all that work in and the project is ruined. But I am really happy with the tracing paper, you can even create sections so things don't slip around. I have to admit though I am a bit anal about my sorting😊
I wonder if Scor-Tape would work to stick them down. I sewed on them once and it caused a problem with my machine. Love your videos and your sweet giggle.
I was wondering if you could sew your pouch windows on before you sew in your signatures??? I really love watching you, you inspire me so much. Thank you...❤️
I was thinking about that too Loretta!!! Great minds!!!🤣
I thought possible sewing as well
I really wish you would make some of these empherma books for your etsy shop! I definitely would try to get one from you, I need one of these in my life! TFS as always Gayle, your my favorite!
Once I perfect the pocket gluing, I just might do that!! ❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct yay, I cant wait
@@gayleagostinelli_ct did the fabritac hold up on the pockets? I cant seem to get it hold the plastic.? Help!
Angela Denlinger it only held on a few...not great! I’m going to use vellum for the pockets from now on. The plastic of the sleeves just won’t stick. They could be seen but I don’t want to go to that much trouble. Bummer on the sleeves! ❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct thank you so much for the reply, I guess I will have to buy some vellum then, I was hoping not to. Maybe I can use something else, any suggestions welcome, thanks
Love these. Just wait until you get your hands on tracies new fussy cut kits. Your gonna need a new book to keep it all In
Just so you know:
You: it doesn't have to be perfect, Gayle, it is only for you.
Me: If you don't deserve perfect, who does?
Nice video. I need to do that.
I love your new book! The clear pockets are great! I'm wondering where you got the big spools of seam binding.
Amazon. ❤️
anything that wont stick with normal glue, i grab the super glue all fix i get from super cheap auto care shop . I dont even muck around with it anymore, if I have doubts, or if its two types of materials such as your plastic and paper, i use it straight up. Super glue is always " less is more" too.
This is such a wonderful idea. Thank you so much! I followed your instructions and made one, but I was wondering what your final medium was for adhering the sheet protectors to the pages. It sounds like fabri-tac didn't work. Appreciate it Gayle!
I’ll be honest, if I had it to do over again, I wouldn’t use the page protectors. Too tough to get them to hold. Sewing them would be the best way, I think. I prefer the one I made with vellum pockets. ❤️
I love the paper you just covered up, I would have used it.
Love how this folio is looking!!! It seemed to come together so fast, even though you put so much work into it!!!! I have a question....I am presuming that the ones that have sticky backs, (the ephemera) you have printed you used some sort of sticky on one side paper??? What type and where??? I love the idea of already having the pieces sticky!! So happy you had a great trip and also so very happy your migraine is now gone, bless your heart, no one as sweet and cheerful as you are deserves to have those. Hope it's the last one you ever have.
I used Avery full sheet labels from Staples. ❤️
I wonder if carpet tape would work? Doesn’t have to be as wide as what’s on the roll but it’s a thought 💭. Hugs 🤗 again from NC
Those are nice heavy duty deckle scissors
Melanie Sullivan modeled her folders from yours and found some solutions to the same problems. She was using acetate though! I made one not long ago and it is already too fat! Time to make more!
Maybe you could staple the pocket that won't stick? Great project at any rate. I always look forward to the next video.
Gayle if the Fabria Fix don't work ,I was wondering if Clear Gorilla blue might do the trick. I used it in the Birds and Bee's journal I made . But it was a heavy plastic button that I used it for.
Great video! This is going to be tomorrow’s project. What do you do with your glue pages you fold over? You fold them so precisely they can’t be going in the trash. Lol
