Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Making a simple traveler's notebook for my husband for Father's Day. He wanted "no frills". I thought this was an opportunity to show how fast and easy making a TN for yourself can be! I hope it's helpful!

What a wonderful compliment to your talent for him to ask you to do this for him.
There is something so satisfying about watching a video of the making of a junk journal. This one is perfect for a man.
You make it look so easy!! The hardest part for me is sewing in the signatures, and you just flew through it!! Thank you for sharing this!!❤️
Love your tip about the corners when sewing around the cover, thank you I will defiantly be remembering that! Xx
I just love that your Hubs asked you for this! I quilted for years, showing my hubby each one I got done. One day he said, "so where's mine?" I was gobsmacked! In all that time, I had never thought to make him one! So you can be sure he got a Scottish links golf quilt pronto!
Know what’s cuter than you diving in to a ‘commission’ for your husband? Nuthin’, that’s what! Could feel the love.😊
What a nice little book this turned out! I hope mr. A. enjoys his fathersday gift.
You are do incredibly inspireing Gayle!! I bet your hubby was overjoyed ❣️🦢💚💙💛🧡💜❤️
I'm also from Montana.............it will always be home. Enjoyed your travel journal tutorial. I'm making one for our daughter and husband who will be making a trip to Arizona for their 35th anniversary. Thanks
I tried leaving the threads on the outside for the first time yesterday. I don’t like it. I know it’s just preference, but I didn’t know my preference until I tried it. 😁 I had a video idea for you the other day. (You can absolutely say “no thanks Samantha”) Gayle’s top 5 ephemera pieces & you show us how to make your top 5 go-to ephemera pieces you always make for journals. I love that Mr. A wanted a journal. Shows how much he loves you. 😁💜👍🏻🌈

Great suggestion!
That's so cute your husband asked you to make a journal. Mine did too... Though he hasn't yet used his, I still appreciate that he saw some of the journals I was making for other people and wanted I've for himself.
Ha ha, he sure came to the right person to ask for a TN. Easy peasy and fabulous! TFS.
An online friend from Facebook gave me your link because I told her I get frustrated and confused after watching tutorial’s on how to make Junk Journals and I end up not even wanting to try. After watching this wonderful video I don’t feel overwhelmed and I’m really excited to give it a go. Thank you so much for making it SIMPLE from start to finish. My biggest issue was HOW DO I KNOW WHAT PAPERS TO USE AND HOW DO I STACK THEM... and now I know. As I was watching this video my daughter was laying next to me trying to fall asleep... she said your voice was soothing, I agree. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you to your hubby as well

Thank you so much and Welcome to my channel! I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️
Ok, you’ve started something now!!!! My hubby was earwigging while I was watching you, and he realised you could have a journal without ‘fluff’ and now he wants one!!!!!! Oh boy, now I will have to buy some manly papers!!!! Lol. Your journal for your hubby looked so smart, I will aspire to make one just like it. TFS 😻xx
You read my mind. I was just wondering if anything special had to be done for a single TN. You have no idea how many times your videos are exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks Gayle.
Love it only had to pause a little but was able to get one done, so excited. No I just need to add pockets and embellish. This was so perfect for a beginner, definitely didn't feel overwhelmed at all. Thank you so much for sharing and thank your husband for his request. Hugs and Smiles
Gayle, I’ve been following you for a while here in Spain and I have to say, your voice is just so calming and happy. There are a ton of crafty videos out there, imo yours is the best. I sit here in the mornings with my coffee and smile right thru them. Thank you! You have got me through some dark days XxxOxxx
gayle, i love watching your videos. you have the sweetest personality. thankyou for sharing.
I have to say this is what I’ve wanted you to do, since I started watching you recently..LOVE watching you and listening to you. Thank you Gayle.
Perfect Gayle, I’m sure your sweet hubby will love it 😊
Thank you for the tutorial. Sometimes I tend to overthink things, this helped simplify.
What a cool idea, I think it’s great he what’s a journal. He will love it Gayle.
Thanks for showing the TN from beginning to end and this time I took notes on the measurements!
I have watch dozens of tutorials n maybe it's because of that but your video just clicked with me. It looks so easy thank you so much! Also yay you said kitty corner, every time I say that people tell me its catty corner. Now I can say I'm not the only one!
You make it look very easy and this is a perfect “guy” journal. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
I am so glad I re visited this tutorial. I needed something to do for my pen pals. This awesome!
Thanks for this! Very useful! I am already starting mine, even while still watching you.
I'm sure that he loved it!!! It was nice and very quick...I should be able to do that even with my one hand!!
As always I enjoyed watching you. Thank you for showing us a simple notebook/journal...I would feel better trying this one first...🦩🥀🦋
This is perfect! A lot of times, I want something for myself that isn't fluffed up and this is it.
LOVE this tutorial Gayle!!! I God bless your husband. I can't imagine my husband EVER asking for a journal but never say never, right!!!! LOL Your hubby is going to LOVE it!!!!
My brother travels a lot and will love this! Thank you for the video and a simple project for this newbie... It gets very overwhelming for me all the different journals, pockets,trims, etc..even collage is difficult, took me forever to make 1 lgb baby journal!
Very timely video! I just had an order for a TN for my stylist to use to document her cruise. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. I was taking notes else I'll forget all that I saw. You make it look so darn easy. I'm hooked!
Love this and you made it look so easy,,,,, little boo-boos and no fluff was so entertaining.
love that he asked you to make the journal for him. I'm sure that him just knowing how much you enjoy making them is what really makes him happy. Hoping he takes many trips to journal about,
I’m new, and his tutorial was fantastic! Can’t wait to try my first journal.
Looks great Gayle, I am sure hubby will love it xo
Thanks for a great tutorial, made my 1st travel journal along with you. I'm so excited it turned out really nice, now on to some paper I love and do some more decorating.
Enjoyed this. Next Father’s Day you can get him a fountain pen. Careful with that one. It’s a deep well to fall into.
I love this. My hubby is the same way about not wanting "fluff".
Really loving this. I also have the same paper. Would make nice prizes for men at my family reunion. Thanks fir the tutorial. ❤

I love that your hubby asked for a journal. You did a great job. Thank you for sharing with us. Love the little pads you saved the paper for. He’s a lucky man 😀🌻❤️

A great project to watch first thing in the morning. I was wondering about the dimensions of a tn, now I know. Love its simplicity. I'm sure your hubby will be thrilled with it. Thanks Gayle.
I love this style! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!
Hi Gayle. I love your channel. This video was suggested by Mare from Lilac Pages for the sewing the pamphlet stitches in. She was right...great tutorial. Thanks Gayle!

So sweet of your husband to want you make him a journal. Love it.
Awesome video, even for non-beginners! It's good to remember that simple is OK as well. Thank you for sharing!
Oh my gosh Gayle, you dont know how much I loved watching this! I love taking the process back to the beginning basics! I recently ordered a Tim Holtz paper pad and now I'm excited for it to come! So much inspiration 💜💜 thank you for doing this 💜
Love this tutorial- simple, easy- all the steps (including how to cut and stack pages) with a few of the ideas on how to fix a couple things that will inevitably happen - if not on the first try, sometime down the road!! It happens to us all!!
I love this:) You make it look so easy and beautiful at the same time. Thank you for sharing!!!
Good morning Gayle! Thank you so much for this! I would like to make a journal for my husband as well so this is a great tutorial to get me going! Have a blessed day ❤️🌹
Love the simplicity of this, still beautiful and perfect for hubby
Thanks for the encouragement, Gayle! Always love your tutorials ♥️
Lovin this!!!! Way too cool. Gunna make a Fisherman’s TN with maps and field and stream reports and his old expired licenses. And I’m jamming it up with charms of bobbles and feathers and bent tied flies.... boop boop dee do.... thanks to you
Totally amazes me how quickly you go through this and viola journal done. I would take three times as long just to pick out papers. Love it!
Gayle ,you made this look so easy & I love that ! My husband & I will be doing some traveling soon, this is a perfect traveling journal! Thank you for sharing 😊🌺
Well now I'm at the end of the video, and I want to thank you so much for this simple 'scaled down' TN. Until now I haven't been sure where to begin, or how to finish. I've been watching tutes all over youtube, but this us the least intimidating tute I've seen and now I think I have the courage to try my hand at making journals and notebooks. Thank you for the inspiration!
TFS. You are funny Yes I kept telling you to fold the song paper,😁 not to cut it. My hubby hears me talk to my work and whatever Im watching all the time.
What a great TN for your husband! Lot of writing space to your holliday. Thank you Gayle 🌹
Thank you for the tutorial , Gail. Really appreciate it !
Love that you did it from start to finish. Great job sharing all your wisdom. Love it. Hugs.
Perfect timing! Going on a road trip with our grandson so will make him one - thanks Gayle 😊
That was great to watch thank you. Love the sewing tip when doing a zig zag. Hope hubby loved it. X
Perfect! That was a great and simple travelers notebook. Just what I wanted to see you make. Sure hope your hubby likes it. Thank you for sharing 🤗.
Love this journal! You made it look so easy and fun. Got to collect some papers and make one. Thank you!
I really enjoy all of your videos and I am never bored when you go back to the beginning, there is always something to learn. I love the papers that you used am so happy your hubby wanted you to make him a Journal! TFS. PS I love the Art Glitter Glue too!
It is soo fun to watch your videos. Thank you for the tutorial. You're encouraging me to finish my junk journal 🤗
Thanks Gayle! Going up to make a couple now...Sewing in is a challenge....you are right for us newbies at least! and I appreciate the tip on the zigzag...sometimes I get it right and sometimes not...but now I will always stop on left side, turn and continue!
Nice travelers journal. Your husband is going to love & use that! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh, I loved this video! It didn't confused me!!! 😁 I've got to make one!!! I love your sewing method. First time seeing it done that way!!! 💖💖💖
Love the paper and everything about it. I know he loved it.
Gayle you are amazing … this tutorial is the best I have ever seen and watching u make this makes me less anxious about doing the binding so thank you xo
Thanks so much Gayle for sharing this. I think just about anybody would love one of these. whether they journal or not, because of lists of items needed from the hardware store, for example, or holding receipts, as you mentioned, etc. You are always an inspiration! Hugs from FL!
Love this!! Hubby is going to love it. Thanks for sharing - Crystal
I’ve been looking for a tutorial on TN journals for my leather folder. So happy to find that you had a video. I was saying no don’t cut the top or the music paper lol. Such cool papers. I love how you estimate where to cut and keep it real. It is an awesome TN. TFS. Happy day
Short and sweet and chock full of good tips. Thanks. Turned out just right!!
How Fun. You make it looks so easy.
Wow, such a revelation. Thank you for that awesome little tip on zigzag around corners. Yet another sparkling little gem from your treasure trove of videos.
