Craft with Me - Making an Inspired Folio - Part 3 

I don’t know Gayle I just love your personality you always make me smile and laugh.

I have to say this is one of my fav series !! Don’t know what it is about it but I love 💖 it !

Nothing wrong with being inspired by something you see or get and recreating it - there is nothing new under the sun. And all artists and creators and crafters are inspired by someone most of the time. I like what you did here - I really like the original that inspired you to make this and I am thinking about making one as well. I like the design on this - simple and easy!!

I received something today from Emily @ Vintage Polka Dot Shop and experienced the magic of this caring junk journal community. She included a personal handwritten note on coffee dyed paper, thanking me for my little order, and to my surprise included a sample of new fabric, all packaged carefully with much love. I have watched you share your "happy mail" and wondered why you want to keep all the notes...and such. Now I know, its so personal, and I have read her sentiment many times throughout the day. Thank you for recommending Emily's Etsy shop!

Fantastic! Even 5 years ago!

I’m really enjoying this series!

I just love this series and oh so much fun listening to you. Thanks for the laughs and inspiration. Hugs

This has been so fun

I'm really enjoying this series Gayle. 😊😊

Been gone for a few videos so this "like" is for the folio project. It's a great one. I'm going to try to make one for myself. As always, thanks for the inspiration. Hugs from Louisiana.

Thanks for sharing. I am really enjoying this series.

Such a fun series!!! Thank you!

Love this!! Thank you for the giggles!!

My favorite is the use of the photo side. Tfs

Love how this is looking!

Turning out to cute!

My husband asked me who I was talking too and I said Gayle my crafting buddy! Thank you

This series is fantastic - I am going to make the portfolio! How fun!

wonderful project! enjoy your laughter so much...!

I love it win you "tickle yourself" and giggle. It makes me giggle too, and then my hubby wants to know what's so funny.....I just say one word: Gayle. 😂

I love this. 😁💜😘📚

This is a fun series Gayle. Thank you for sharing 🤗

These are lovely! Great ideas!

I definitely think I would like to make some of these!

Junk Journal’s/Portfolios do tell a story. I buy clear pencil cases to keep my cut outs.💕😀

The Cutter Bee scissors used to be my favorite but they started to hurt my fingers. Now I use the micro spring action embroidery stitch cutters and I will never go back.

Gail, you crack me up when you get tickled about something! He looks like my husband's kindergarten picture.

wonderful!!!

You are so clever. And you crack me up!

Hi Gayle , I've been watching your channel for my months now really enjoying you series .. My name is Patricia from Arkansas . I'm a recent widow spending a lot of time crafting these days .. Keep up the good work 😋

I am loving this folio pocket journal. You & Emily have given me so many ideas for my birthday calendars (and I'm going to need them all...I just made a list of all the photos I need to put in my folios!). Sticky bags drive me nuts. I usually cut off the sticky part, and just leave the crease so it still folds over. I don't have nearly the amount of stickers & stuff that you have, though.

Loved your video . Very pretty 😍

I had an uncontrollable giggle with you Gayle. You just have the knack of making me feel as if i'm sitting beside you. Love the tutorials and always amazed at your organised ephemera.

You are so enjoyable to watch. I love this series. You are so talented.

Still in love with this series, TFS. Happy Easter. 😻

Loving this series, can't wait for part 4.

I'm loving everything so far. Can't wait to see the final result.

I'm glad you're adding the Gayle touch to your embellishments. You have such good ideas. Tfs

You make me laugh!:)

i love when you say "Ooh! You know what I'm gonna do..." They you come up with a totally brilliant idea or some small thing that just makes the entire piece that much more fabulous!

Thus is great. I Love todays makes. Looking forward to part 4. xxx

When the Fabric-Tac gets too thick, I add a small amount(few drops) of Acetone to thin it out, not general polish remover but pure Acetone. Love the series…Hugs

YES I was hoping there would be a part 4, so enjoying this series, great fun! 👏

Gayle, just switch out the nozzle from the almost empty fabric tac bottle to the one with the crack. It'll be much easier to pour the smaller amount into the fuller bottle instead of vice versa. I dropped a bottle of fabric tac and the nozzle broke at the base of the bottle. If you ask me, there seems to be a weak spot in the bottles. Anyway, loving your folio project! BTW, have you watched any of Barbara's videos over at 49dragonflies? She lives in Austria and her journals are beautiful!

I just love this series, the tags and pockets are so creative. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this series! Love it! ❤

What a fun project! I’m looking forward to the next video!

You tickle me too Gayle!!! It's so fun when u get tickled at yourself!!

So super fun! I have a hard time finding something to talk about when I do 2-3 videos in a row, (that's why I ramble). LOL! Sending big hugs! Chelle

Hi Gayle! About the Febri-Tac... the same thing happened to my friend and she also had to add the contents to another bottle. We both decided that it happened because we wipe the nozzle off too vigorously when we're clearing the goobers. We wipe much more gently now. So... you're not the only one. lol Thank you for videos. You're an inspiration to me.

YOU ARE SO FUN-THANK YOU GAYLE FOR YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS,AND TIME-YOUR PROJECTS ARE SO LOVELY-HAVE A BLESSED EASTER WEEKEND-HUGS/BLESSINGS

I Love the old slides being used..I must have a dig around in mine and see if I have any I could use..your folder is coming along nicely.

I’ve absolutely loved this series! I would much rather have something to use as a guide for creating...it makes it easier for me.

I struggle with those sticky bags too, especially when I try to put things back in the bag! Adorable embellies! TFS the inspiration, Gayle!

OMG Gayle I have enjoyed this series so much, I love listening to you chat away as if we were there with you, so much fun, looking forward to seing what you do with the cover. tfs..Mary

Great video Gayle. I sure do enjoy watching you.

Thank you for another great video. You are always very inspiring.

Love this series Gayle, Thank You for sharing xoxoxo : )

I started to make one of the folios. A bit different, but it will work for me. Thanks for sharing your process!!! Dawn

I wish you would go live so we could interact with you... You are so fun. I love to watch all the beauty you make.

wonderful video - very inspiring - thank you Gayle : )

Gayle, love the element cards...did you make thoughts or find them somewhere...sooo great.

Gayle, try putting some foil around your Fabri--Tac bottle. That might keep the tip on. Just a thought. Sandie

I find myself talking and giggling right along with you. Love your stuff.❤️

I’m sure you have talked about it in another video but I haven’t found it yet. Lol. Where did you find the glitter glue? I’ve wanted to try it ever since Tracie Fox started using it and I love the little bottles and charms. Too cute and it seems to be a great glue. Loving how this is coming together. Gonna try to find some time to start my travel stuff portfolio tomorrow. I think I need some crafty time to de-stress. Love u more still

😊

Upside down stamps used to mean, “ I love you” back in the day, so that tag is quite appropriate.

Love this series Gayle! Thanks for doing it! I do have a question tho - what kind of pin are you using in your Art Glitter Glue bottle?

Do you cut all your little people out of books? I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing :)

👍👍👍

I love this idea and I’m trying to copy all the great ideas! I am having a hard time finding the view master slides, cd envelopes and square slides! Where do you get yours?

Gayle can you share a link to your fabulous ephemera bags with zippers?

The circle thingie that went inside the cd envelope, is it a die cut ? Does it have a name? Or a link to buy? Thanks......really enjoying this series. Making along with you till we got to that circle thing :-)’

Could be a then and now photo.

I am laughing with you

Ops...typeO ...sorry. Make those
