Just watching older videos....thank you for letting us know! I really follow your lead on Etsy shops! So thank you for showcasing ones that are awesome!

Love the book page ephemera. 😀

So much crafty goodness !!

Oh my gosh! Thank you for showing how to refill the stamp pad. All this time I have been buying new ones when they run out! I feel pretty silly but now I know better! Love all of your videos too! Thank for your dedication to us subbies.

Antique Papers has BEAUTIFUL DIGITALS!!!

The altered book started fantastic!

Bless your heart you are missing your mom and dad.. You’ve been mentioning them more than you ever have. I miss mine too so much! ❤️

Yep, I understand the long winter. It was 65 day before yesterday and then 20 next day and has been snowing here since! We don’t have any flowers out yet though. So over the snow this year! Enjoyed crafting with you!

I bought a GREAT book at the thrift store last night to specifically use to make an altered book. I am likely going to go through all these videos and work on my book. thank you for sharing your process and making it like we are sitting crafting together.

Love the way you get more ideas in the middle of doing something, and the new words I learn (tuckage)! Glad prayers are answered and your husband is also feeling better.

I have a sweet tooth as well, which I got from my dad. He would always want something sweet to "round out his meal". It's funny the things we remember when we were growing up.

(Tuckage) omg I never laughed so hard, I LOVE it. I wish I could spend the day crafting with you. Big hugs 🤗🤗🤗

Love watching your KZread, you are so inspirational.

Woke up to snow as well and while my iris greens look OK with just the tips showing a little yellow my fig plant had figs on it and they will not make it. You are right longest winter ever. Love your videos they are like visiting with an old friend

Aw Gayle this AliExpress website is not just copying the few people you’ve mentioned - they copy EVERYONE, and yes they also sell through Etsy and EBay usually providing faster shipping through those sites than AliExpress. I personally have seen several of our favourite digital designers being copied by sellers on AliExpress. It’s not AliExpress itself. It’s the individual sellers who must buy from a factory (or several) in China who are constantly scouting the internet and taking small makers, and even big brand stores and stealing their designs. It’s sad, but reality is that it’s not just AliExpress; big name brands also steal ideas from small handmade businesses, designers have always taken ideas from other designers and will continue to do so. Running a business these days when your product images are so easily accessible online for anyone to see is quite a challenge. Even if your design is completely unique, once it’s online you’re bound to see a growing competition arising. Nevertheless, when something you’ve created is downright copied - it’s infuriating and completely illegal. I wish there was more we could do to stop it...

Love your videos!

glad mr A is feeling better and you got some much needed sleep my friend, you definitely were more "perky" today =) we woke up to 3 inches of snow this morning! it's all melted now. Amazon does deliver on sundays, usually it's a white van going around my neighborhood. looking forward to getting your opinion on the tear ruler. congrats to grandkiddos volleyball teams! "page of tuckage" needs to go in idea book! i so appreciate your loyalty to artists, friends, designers, etc. and thank you for sharing this with us, i would never have known this kinda thing happened. it's beyond shameful! i am really enjoying this series! excited to find a book to alter asap. hugs, take care and be good to yourself xo 💕

I'm so glad you're doing this altered book. Really enjoying watching this. I started one myself today. It is so much fun. Thank you!

Been watching your videos for a couple of months - started with your other altered book tutorial. Haven't made one yet, although my book is ready to go. Just collecting ideas and 'junk'. Love watching and learning!

Gayle, You have my head so full of ideas....that I can not tuck anymore into it. Also loved the movie and I agree about Dennis Quaid. I bought the DVD and he sings a song after the movie. He said that the movie changed his life. Tears here also. Michigan is cold again too...It's going to be May tomorrow and we have the wood stove going.....enjoy your evening! Judy

Great series and beautiful page spreads. Want to try an altered book this way myself. Your videos are very inspiring.

Hi Gayle. I really love all yout ideas. I enjoy watching all of your videod. Im new to the jj world and I have learn soooo much from you. Thank you for sharing yout knowledge and all yoit wonderful ideas

I love it and I making one for me as the same time with you, tks you inspire me everyday to do it, and I am using all staff that I am collecting from secondstores and fleamarket...🌼🌺🌸😍😁

Fun fun fun. Love the flips you made, very pretty. xxx

It is so much fun watching you. I get so motivated. I love how you can do one take wonders. They always turn out great. I struggle so much and I have to edit, edit, edit. Your videos are great. Thank you so much for what you do.

Oh Gayle, I am so enamoured & inspired by you. This has been a marvellous video to watch, & the way you just jump on to your sewing machine is fantastic. I have to get a manual out when I use my sewing machine & feel a complete klutz. Thank you so much xxxM

Love watching you create and listening to you talk. I have never dine a book. You are so very inspirational. TFS. Have a crafty day.

I love this album thank you for sharing your talents

Hi Gayle, I am Loving This Book. Am having a good time...Thanks...Dar

What a difference a few thousand miles makes. It's been in the 80's here in North Carolina the past few days. Hopefully the snow will end soon and you will be able to enjoy the spring weather again. Loving your videos. Been binge watching for the last few days. Thanks!!!!

So happy you are doing this project. I'm a semi-newbie so this is new to me just as I am ready for a new project. Thanks for all your great videos....and chuckles.

Love your accent Gayle ☺

Amazing as always tfs 🤗

Tip for you about tearing. I will often use my cutting board , holding the paper under the ruler to tear the paper. Tfs all your lovely creations! Love 💕 your channel!

Glad your hubby feels a little better. Spring colds are the worst. On top of that - ❄️snow again! It’s a little chilly here in Tennessee but the days are getting warmer. Hopefully no snow our way. Prayers for y’all. Hugs! 🤗💕

Love watching your videos. I've learned a lot :)

It has been so fun to watch you work in this book! An altered book is going to be my next project. Omgosh! That movie was so good, even though it made me cry, too. I think knowing it was a true story, pulled on the heart strings even more. TY for another great video! ❤

I used to love walking & bike riding. I miss it. Glad the hubby is feeling better!!

Dear Gayle, your video’s are so inspirational, Thank you💐 I need to rest for about an hour every afternoon and your video’s are just the way to keep on my ... and afterwards have a bunch of idea’s for new craftprojects🌞 lots of creative hugs from Maud (the Netherlands)

I think the antique paperie pink spread is my favourite in this book so far! Just gorgeous papers. 😍 I like listening to your accent. Some of the things you say and the way you pronounce things makes me smile - like for “sure”, you say “shurrr”; and for “across”, you say “acrosst”. ☺️ xx

Another wonderful hour with Gayle. Your book is really coming together nicely. I’m working on mine but I can’t make decisions as quick as you do. But it is fun! Thank you for sharing 🤗

Gayle, I like to decopauge my banners. Gives them a nice shine

This book is awesome !!

Loved it 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

You never cease to amaze me. Love your creativity. : ) Hope it warms up there. It's been cold and rainy here (Northern Indiana). Would love some warm temperatures.

Well you have inspired me to action, instead of just watching, I have start on a book. What a journey it has been. Learning from my mistakes. Ink first! Lol thank you for showing me the way and inspiring me to take the leap.

Cool pages Gayle! Yes, Amazon delivers on Sunday! 😝

Love how these pages turned out! And you definitely have an accent. One of my college friends was from Montana and sounded just like you... and the only other person I have ever heard say “jeezy peasy,” which still cracks me up. 😉 I lived in North Dakota for a long time and all of the northern states have a distinct accent, more so than here in MO where I live now.

Hi Gale just wanted to say another fantastic video :) also I am so glad to hear your husband is feeling much better that is great news :) see you soon :)

Loving how you pull it altogether, am sticking pages together as I watch you but I keep getting distracted by the JJ fairy doing her magic!!!! Can’t believe you threw away the chunky bit off the glue book!!! Only you could have designed it into a beautiful thing to add to the book and the rest of us would have been trying to make one !!!!!!!Lol. 😻x

Gayle- Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I am not on Facebook and so would have no idea about this. I will be vey careful in the future when on Etsy. Have not used Alieexpress since I knew previously that they used designs from clothing in the same way.

Hi Gayle I love watching your videos and crafting along with you. I do the occasional altered book and you are an inspiration and lovely to watch. I'm from New Zealand and you have an accent to me. 😁🙂

Beautiful thank you .

Wonderful as always! Amazon does deliver on Sunday. The USPS does it for them. Just an FYI.

Hi love your art!

Love your ideas! I’m following along... but I’m far behind ya, lol. I always chuckle a little at your cute accent and phrases. Keep them coming.

Yay! You cut off the scraggly page edges of your glue book 😄!

Hi Gayle. I’m an Aussie and yes, you do have an accent. All Americans do have an accent different to us, however, even in Australia people from the different states speak with slight variances just as you do in the US. We love listening to you speak and try to work out from which area you originate. Over here, we hear American accents very early in life because of the predominance of movies, TV shows, Media etc that is produced in your country, so our ear is tuned quickly. I must add that I really enjoy your channel and look forward to your next episode. Thank you for your commitment to spreading your craft and enjoyment and helping other artists to do the same! 😀🇦🇺💞

Hi Gayle, I’m from Australia and yes you have an accent..not as strong as some others I’ve heard..funny how there are so many different ones through the US..we have so many American tv shows now that it probably isn’t that noticeable anymore..you speak very well..love the pages in this video..🌷

I moved to Georgia from Pennsylvania when in high school. After 50 years I have a Pennsylvania Dutch Southern accent 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh wow I just downloaded you collage pages, they are so beautiful! I am going to be working on doing some digitals this weekend. Then open an Etsy shop. Lol I am thinking about doing a video. So many thinks to think about. I love your video! 🤗

'A Page of tuckage!' You really are a hoot to watch Gayle. I am so sorry that you lost money! It really upsets me but I am also afraid that many of us may have been caught out in a similar way. It is impossible for us to know all the digitals and products out there so it is so easy to purchase and use items that are illegal. WE are also breaking the law, even if we do not know it. xx Loving the book xx

Thank you for the heads up. I am one who wants to support the artist when I can. Not buy a knock off... I find your videos so relaxing while I am crafting with you. Some days about an hour is just not enough for me! :) Keep doing your thing because I love it! :) BTW how to fill the ink pad was helpful to me. It seems easy, but when your brand new to things pointers help....

Your accent is very pronounced to an Aussie like me! I love the different expressions you use.

Hi Gayle, yes Amazon does deliver on Sunday. Most of mine get delivered on Sundays. They also drop packages late at night to make sure your item arrives on time.

Haha YES, Gayle! You have an accent. And I'm in Texas! 🤣 Enjoying this series, by the way.

GAYLE -YOU ARE SO SWEET-AND I SO ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS-YOUR IDEAS ARE NEVER ENDING-WHICH I LOVE-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS

I was SO thrilled when you took the mess off of your gluing book!! 🎉 It has been driving me crazy! You were getting less and less page when you tore one out! As a matter of fact, you quit a little early and didn't get it all. Granted, you're cranking out the goodies and I keep organizing my craft room, but we're not talking about me right now. 😄

LOVED that movie and was also sobbing through so much of it. Love your altered book, gonna buy a book and give it a try! I have that gunk and cough like your hubs, it’s so irritating, just want it to go away!

Brilliant video again Gayle thank you!.. how do you decide which glue to use for what and where?

Hi Gayle I'm just watching this video and yes you have an accent 😂 I'm from Australia and wondered if I had one the other day ❤️

OMG, Gayle, you crack me up! I almost dropped my scissors, I laughed so much. 😄 Yes, you do have an accent to we Aussies. And a nice one at that. Thanks for showing us how to do the... tri-flags?? ( Newbie) That's what I was making while you were chatting...when I almost dropped my scissors. 😄 Hope Mr A. gets well soon! ❤

That's funny!...about the scissors! I know I've seen you use them and never guessed you didn't know what they were called. A deckle is the screen hand made paper is poured through and the edges turn out more natural...just like how we like tearing our paper to get that kind of edge. They make some book pages deckle edged as well. And btw....I have Fiskars brand of several of the decorative scissors and they're not much better than any other.

Gayle. Thank you so much for letting us know about Ali Express. It's a horrible thing to claim you are the originator of another artists designs. I hope that they pay fro this. I had heard this before too and was surprised to see some crafters still using that shop. Happy that you heard that the shop you purchased from is no longer selling the Ali Express items ! I had added Ali Express' page to my desktop and when I first herad of thier treachery I uninstalled thier shop. I love your channel and everything you make. These book page banners are very nice. What another good idea of how to use up your book pages !

I'm very glad to see you know about AliExpress! I'm terribly sorry this is happening to you and others! Thank you!!

You know, I’ve had an aversion to alliexpress and wish and didn’t know why. Must have been my intuition 😂. I’ve noticed that some of our favorite shops are now selling lace from them. On a funny note..... I’ll see your inch and raise you ten! 😆 we live in a weird pocket in NoCo so while every one in CO is getting dumped on we get a skiff and vise versa.

Thank you Gayle if it wasn’t for you I might not of ever known, there’s more than one shop and yes other designers too that have been affected. As for the papers I have a few packs in my procession and I’m going to use them for collage work as after all they are my designs so maybe an idea for you to use them up too. I hope you are feeling better about it take care xx

WOW, I did not know that about Aliexpress, I was wondering why I was seeing Tim Holtzs stamps over there. This is really going to hurt a lot of Esty sellers because a lot of their things do come from there. Thank you for this information.

❤️

Use your forged papers as under layers on projects- that way they are not seen, just reinforcement for your original art. I also saw that you use Sophie’s Diary pages that way- totally buried in the bowels of original art.

Gayle. Do you have a good video on tea/ coffee dieing paper for JJ. I am not even sure what kind of paper holds up well. (Newbie here but love love love your channel) thanks!

Wow Gayle I am so loving this series, I have wanted to do an altered book for so long, my first attempt failed miserably, now I know what I did wrong. Now I'll give it another go. We are in Canada and we woke up the same day and was so shocked by the pile of snow too, we must be in the same weather pattern, but it was gone by the next day, enough with the snow right?
