Craft with Me - Collage Paper 

I really want to thank you. I am a 72 year old shut in.You are an inspiration to me. Listening to you is a comfort. You show your work giving instructions and keeping me engaged with your stories. I had a hard time because I wanted to make a junk journal, but I didn't have the means to buy any kits. By watching you, I decided to just look at everything I did have. I searched all over and came up with a few things, then I remembered I had a flood of magazines from other paper crafts. I have cut so many things out, and now I am on my way. I have dyed paper and found old index cards. I am lucky that the journal I want to make has no real theme. It's for my 16 year old granddaughter who will graduate high school next year in 2025, so I am filling it with things she is interested in. I love watching you. I see what you are doing. Thank you so much.

Love these paper collages. The history of scrap booking with paper and embellishment keepsakes all started with pieces of leftover and recycled paper and scraps. With fabric scraps we got the entire world of quilts; no one would dare waste a hard to come by piece of fabric, especially in the rural areas. Loose buttons and feathers spurred the proliferation of embellished cards in the Victorian era where those items were luxuries. Even paper, first produced in China has a wonderful history. These collages are a great way to reduce waste and recycle these wonderful products we take for granted today.

I'm loving your Craft with Me videos & learning a lot. I enjoy the way you bring us along a project...very fun, friendly, low key, & informative. I appreciate that as it's sometimes hard as a new crafter to follow a sped-up video & to understand what products they're using. Thank you for sharing your time & expertise with us.

Such a lovely journal. Thanks for the laughs. You know how to have fun💖💖💖💖💖

You will probably not read this here two years after making this video……but have to say you have evolved into making much more beautiful collages since then!!🙂

These are so cool. Basically love the one with the cutout shapes and the bee stamps. That's my faviorite.

Enjoying rewatching some of your older videos. I was disappointed when the restaurants stopped giving us paper menus, I was enjoying collaging over them, and they are a lot more sanitary 😳🥰

Very relaxing and fun to watch, Gayle. Results are great!

Gayle, I am happy to hear you made it past the five family members who have subscribed to your channel. LOL Loved these collage papers. Another great thing to do while watching TV. All you need is some book pages, glue, and a pile of scrap papers. No need to pull out a hundred different supplies. Enjoy the time with your granddaughters while you care for your daughter.

I have to start saving my cut out scraps! Thanks for the idea Gayle!

Hi Gayle! That's exactly what I've been doing the past week ... searching Google for "how to make collage on paper"!! And you keep popping up! Cool! And thank you! I love the pages you did in this video! Good job!!

Love the red top and nail polish. That's your color.

I really enjoy your videos, Gayle. You always inspire me!

Beautiful collage sheets!!! Love your inspiration!!

Your happiness and joy are infectious! I’m so glad I found you on RU-vid. This is the second video I’ve watched and I look forward to many many many more. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us. Love your artwork 🥰

Hi Gayle, just want to let you know how much I love watching your crafting videos. Your collage papers turned out so awesome, I think I'm gonna try it. You make everything look so easy lol Thanks so much for sharing your talent.

Super fun,cute & relaxing...

Thank you for keeping me company while I made Christmas cookies..my creation for the night! Wouldn't it be fun to have a 2or 3 month challenge where we don't buy any new paper and create our own? I love them all! I did a journal cover using circle scraps for my daughter..she loved it! You always have such fun new ideas! Hugs!

My first trip to your space-I loved watching you craft ❤️

Loved it, now i have another idea to use up my scraps woot!

So much fun to watch! I can't wait to try the cut out collage. Great idea!

Pages at the ready sounds great! I think I’ll try it. Also love making junk journals and stay up at night thinking about it sometimes. Thank you Gayle! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

So much fun! Collage paper is the best! Congrats on SO many subscribers! Enjoy time with your daughter and granddaughters! TFS the inspiration!

I really look forward every day to your wonderful crafting .. so great to have you!! Thanks for sharing your talents

Honestly Gayle, i love your tutorials, you’ve made me laugh out loud many times! Love it! 🎄😂🥰🇨🇦🎄❤️

Love this so much fun. That large washi tape is awesome 💕

This was so fun, thank you for sharing❣️

Love your collages. Been jewellery making for a friends daughter while watching. Do love crafting along xxx

Great pages , love your range of paper scraps

I'm quiet late with watching this. It's April 23 2020 today. It's better late than not at all. This method is awesome. I've just now bought washi. Some cane to me as thank you gifts and after using it I need to get some. I love collaging. You never get the same thing twice. This would look good as a cover for a junk journal. It's so pretty !! These are all very pretty and will be great however you use them

Gayle, I love your scraps! I have the same kind, from punching out circles, tags, squares, etc. I'm such a paper hoarder that I save all that, I hate to cut into a brand new piece of paper if I have scraps leftover. I use to teach card making classes and I would get as much out of one sheet of paper, my husband laughs at me! I'm going to tell him you do the same. You have inspired me so much that I am actually using up my scraps. I have so much paper and I love hoarding it. Now, I'm actually using it and enjoying it more by seeing it all over the place, on a tag, on pocket on a journal page, etc. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talents. We will miss you, but, I will catch up on some older videos. Take care!

I have never seen these done before! Beautiful and I can see they would be so versatile. I look forward to seeing the pages or cut tags/pockets in your future projects. Thank you for sharing!

I have always had a problem with creating collages, but make it look so easy. Thank you, for this tutorial. I love your collage sheets. Hugs and Blessings

Such a great idea! Thank you for sharing with us 🤗

Love them all, especially the last one!

Another awesome video this is just a fantastic idea for using up some left behind scraps. Thanks for the inspiration and thoughts and prayers for your daughter and her speedy recovery.

Can't wait to get to the craft room and get to it. You made me chuckle when you said, at one point, "Let's do it!" I have a nephew, Ronnie, who's 46 and has Downs Syndrome. He loves to eat out and if someone mentions in passing, the name of a restaurant, he'll chime in from wherever he is and whatever he's doing, "Awright! Let's do it!" (He plays deaf until food is mentioned...)

Loved these pages! Can't wait to do this myself! Thanks.

Hi Gayle, I have recently found you on RU-vid after binge watching practically all of shannon greens videos (lol), and have been watching and enjoying and have been inspired and learned new stuff. I enjoy crafting with you. I am envious of all the happy mail you get 😁. Thanks

Hi Gayle! I’ve been collaging all day and popped on here to watch you while I work! I so enjoy all your videos! Thanks so much for sharing!

Simply lovely. Thank you for all the fun and inspiration. Thank you for being so kind to share links to all the goodies you purchase from and the other You Tube channels. Many lovely ones.

Gayle - thank you so much for introducing me to Sarah's channel. My table is COVERED in torn paper and I'm having a blast! I love crafting along with you every day. ~ Nancy

Love these Gayle. Can't wait to see how you use these. What a great use for the scraps and love the punch outs. Congratulations on your # of subscribers! That is awesome. You are very deserving.

wow i really like these!!! excited to see how you will make use of them in your journals.Enjoy your family time!!!

Another great project...love these collage pages. I have never seen that wide washi tape but sure will be on the lookout for some, I love it!

This is another sweet idea for those scraps! Tfs

Very cool Gayle, can’t wait to see what you do with them!

Lots of fun. I,my going to make a few too. Thanks for the inspiration once again, GAYLE xx

Awesome papers. I really loved the one made with the waste from punches, so cool.

This is fabulous! I love the full sheets!!

Hi Gayle, thank you for sharing, I love these papers and will definitely be making some! I think some all washi ones would look awesome so I might try that too xxx💕

Congratulations on all the subbies you have .... enjoy your time w/your daughter .... we will all miss your daily videos! Be safe ... ❤️🐞

Great video once again, So excited to get back to my craft room tomorrow and make some of these,

These papers turned out so great Gayle! I love them! 😘💖

Oh my goodness I am so happy after watching this video. I have a ton of scrapes that I've held onto hopping that I would find something cool to use them on and now I know! Thank you for your inspiration and creativity.

Lovely pages to do whatever with😊. Enjoy your time off Gayle. Merry Christmas too!!!

Loved watching you play with your scraps. Good grief, now I have to save all my trash since you will show me what I need to create with it!

I loved it. What a great idea

Luv...luv...what a great idea. We all have so much in our craft 'room'. I will be doing this collage as soon as new year has passed..Congratulations on your near 15,000 subbies....see we all luvs ya. Hugs from the land of Oz. Val

That first one with the washi was my favorite! I fussy cut while watching the video. It makes me feel like I have someone to craft with. Tfs!

I love your videos, Gayle. Thank you, and I hope everything goes smoothly with your daughter. And of course, hugs for Alfie....sweet dog. Yes, I love what that washi did to that second page...beautiful.

Whata fun craft nite...thanks. i too like the pink one. Those collage pages are like Franken pages but even more so it reminds me of Holly Hobby with her calico prints and patching. I just love that look. I've always thrown away my cut outs...going to save them now. That turned out so fun!! All three pages are beautiful.

Gayle I love these scrap videos, such great ideas. Hope all goes well with your daughter. Thank u

Love this paper! Great idea! Hugs!

They are super! Loving whishes Aya

I love this idea, I have tons of scraps that I need to use! Tfs!

I love this idea! I now know what to do with all those punched papers I have saved! The inking on the inside of the punched areas really makes it stand out! Thanks!

Hi Gayle. Newby here. Just can't wait to craft WITH you. You can make laugh.

Cannot wait to try this!

Love watching you and your ideas and laughing with you - especially the comment about how much scrap paper you have.

Hi Gail, Thank you for your inspiration again, can’t wait to collage some paper to. Hope all is wel with your family and look forward to see what you have made when you return. Hugs from Holland💝🇳🇱

Inquiring minds want to meet your husband! You speak of him all the time...I think it's time you introduced him!! Love to watch you craft. You make everything look fun.

I always like your collage papers...they come out so pretty.

I love the use of 'circle waste!' I had saved some without any idea of what to do with it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for the tips to do with all the scraps. Now I know what to do during holidays. TFS! 💜🎅🏼💜

Such a fun project!

Lovely Gayle! Thank you for bring my attention to Sarah over at The Mushroom Market :-) I have subscribed to her channel. It's great to find another fellow Aussie, us Aussies must stick together ;-) She has some lovely ideas. I wish I had that many on my channel lol. Wishing you and your family a very wonderful Merry Christmas xx

Gayle, I love this idea! I made some last week and now that the holidays are over, I'm going to use up more scraps and make more! So much fun! Thanks for all your wonderful ideas!! :)

Such a cool idea!! I'm definitely going to play with all my scraps that i'm glad I kept. But they had just been accumulating!

They turned out so pretty!

Hi , Gayle it's Alesia I love your collage paper and I hope everything goes well with your daughter and I hope you will enjoy the time with your grandchildren while caring for your daughter . Thanks for sharing with us always Gayle God bless you.

love your craft with me, Gayle!

Thanks for the inspiration Gayle! I'll have to give this one a try:)

That looks great, I like to seal my collages by putting 1 ply white napkin on top using modge podge or other medium. Something else that is awesome for collaging is YES paste. I think you would love it. Once glued, it's down for life.

These came out justbeautiful. You should get a lovely rest for your reward.

I love the pink paper you are using.

Enjoy listen and watching you play you make it look easy my collages not so good but I will not stop have a wonderful holiday thanks for sharing hugs tina

I love your videos! When ever you say what about this, I can't tell you how many times I answer you and that's what you do!

Great, Gayle! I'll have to do something like this with some of my scraps. I did something a little similar today. I sewed some of the bigger cut off strips together into long pieces of paper. I'll be able to use them in Domestic Arts and other large journals. I, too, had an overflowing bin of cut off scrapbook paper!

I love how these papers turned out. I can't wait to see how they'll look when cut up. Do come back and show us!

Congratulations Gayle on approaching 15,000 subbies! i am SO glad to be one after finding you recently 💘 ohhh the giveaway your planning sounds interesting!! will be watching for that for sure. i love how we can click the little bell to get email notifications from YT when you post a new video. love these papers. i would maybe make copies at staples and turn some into envelopes! thanks for sharing.

Love your collage. Your nails still look fabulous.

All I can say is I LOVE YOU... Keep sharing

Quick, useful, and fun! The perfect combo. tfs
