WOW I love the signature idea!! Cant wait to see it!

Fabulous! Loving this series!

I really really enjoyed this series. Such a fun sweet project. ❤

Love this project and giggling along with you Gayle...

Great job Gayle! Yours came out super nice! Thank you for sharing!!

I just love this series. It just keeps growing. I love how you are so flexible. You have such wonderful ideas. Can't wait to watch #5.

I loved watching these videos, thanks for sharing!

You're an inspiration Gale, thank you for sharing all your processes step by step on this video and so many more :)

Great series! I loved them all.

Gayle you are so much fun to watch. I love this project. tfs

Can’t wait to make one of these folios! Love it!❤️

Turning out so cute!😊

I have so enjoyed this series thank you so muchxx

This is never ending goodness. That doilie page is perfect. I literally gasped when you put that there.

I love your sense of humor and that you laugh at yourself

Looking forward to part 5. 😁💜👍🏻

Beautiful and I love the dog stamp!

So happy you got that last minute 💡. Thank you.

Beautiful, it’s nice your adding a signature. 🤗

Make a thousand parts, i love itttttt, cannot get enough lol

I love watching/listening to your tapes while I craft! I love that it triggers my own creativity - I couldn't help but think what I'd do. When I saw the little boy with the big hat, I immediately thought I'd cut along the lower edge of the hat so it could hang outside the lace. Fun stuff to think about.

Great idea to add a signature!!

I agree with you on the signature, Gayle. It needed some bulk. It's turned out beautifully too!

This has been so much fun and easy to follow. Thank u for the inspiration😍🌴

Love watching your videos!

Gayle, you are always such a joy to watch and listen to! I have thoroughly enjoyed this inspired folio series thank you so much! Blessings to you and your family, happy Easter

It's Beautiful Gayle and the addition of the signature is a Great Idea. Can't wait for the next video. Hugs & Kisses xoxo. : )

i love the idea of putting the pages in the center!

You did a fantastic job on the folio. I enjoyed watching every moment and now I want to make one. tfs

Gayle you totally read my mind. LOL I was thinking how cute it would be with a signature in the middle. It would make a great idea folio. Love everything about this folder,

So glad you did this series I was inspired when I saw the one Emily sent you. Now you have taken out all the thinking and guess work as to the how to and measurements. Thanks

I just love this folio, I'm going to watch again and make one too, after I finish moving, can't wait; I'll have ink for my printer too so I can print some of the digis from your shop and use them! Woot woot !

Always love 💕 your videos

It looks Beautiful folio. Love it. :)

Like the idea of putting in a signature! More journaling space!

alfalfa ... i cant wait to see part 5 ... this is really amazing... and getting better

Love the folio

Hi Gayle, thank you for the lovely video, i wish you and your family a happy Easter.Greetings Joos XX

Awesome series and they both are really neat and I can see so many use's for them as well. Tfs

Excellent idea for use of folio. I think that’s what I will do too.

Gayle, I will say first that I LOVE your videos and ideas. Most of what you make looks so very complicate but as I watch you make it I realize all I have to do is follow your steps and it is easy, not to mention beautiful!!!! Now I have to say, I don't know who is worse, you (the enabler) or me (the enabled). Just got home from Hobby Lobby $82 poorer but with lots of pretty ribbon and one of the cute pouches you store your die cuts in plus a few other things on clearance. Thanks for sharing/enabling us and, please continue to share and chat, I love it!!!!

I love it and I always see your videos you are so inspiration to me tks

I love your folio. Sorry I've never left a comment before, but I love everything you do.

It is a great idea to keep your emphera in for a project you working on.

I have absolutely loved this series. Thank you Emily...thank you Gayle!

SO PRETTY- TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS

Looking SO pretty! Alfalfa had the hair sticking up. I know because I have a baby picture with my hair vaselined up like that and my parents called me Alfalfa when they showed the picture. So unfair! LOL! TFS, Gayle!

LOL!! This ls great. Going to make some. TFS

I love your take on her folio! I have a suggestion for adding the signature though. They are not sewn in, but add an an elastic band to the center so the pages can be removed easily. It would be a great way to take your folio on trips and be able to switch up the content! Just a passing thought I wanted to share! Have a great day Gayle.

Oh my word I was laughing so hard at the headless farmer!! What a hoot!

Alfalfa.. Loved the little rascals

Oh my goodness . I had just made up my mind to put a signature in the middle too . I wonder how many others thought of that too . See what you’ve done to us. Bahaha xxxxx I was going to aim for 2 .

You’re gonna laugh!!! I thought you said SORRY SILK-OH MY GOSH!!! I’m so new to this!! WOW! hahahahaha

Gayle, I'm really enjoying this series. I love the idea of stuffing the inside with items pertaining to a particular subject for making a jj. Also like the idea of the blank pages in the middle. Why not make an independent blank journal and inserting it like a tn instead of sewing it in permanently. This way, if giving as a gift, a novice journal maker would have all the elements for making their very own jj. Hope this makes sense.

It would be fun to put idea embellishments in the pockets and write notes about them in the journal. I love the cover! Such a sweet image!

You were thinking of Alfalfa from The Little Rascals! He was my favourite. 😊 I’m a new subscriber and I’m absolutely loving your videos and this little series for this project, Gayle. I say a little “Yay!” every day when YT tells me you’ve uploaded a new one. And thank you for keeping me company and entertained through a nasty cold!! 🤗😘

OMG - I just figured it out! Your giggle sounds just like Betty Rubble from the Flintstones! (It’s a compliment!). (You giggled right after you looked at the little pad of paper - just before you sewed through the headless farmer!). I love your giggle. I love that you talk TO us. I also love that you don’t apologize. Love your enthusiasm for this project too. I’m going to a paper store tomorrow in a small town that is about an hour away - we don’t have any cool paper stores close by as far as I’m aware. They have Stamperia paper! I’m excited because I’ve watched you do so many projects with that paper! Thanks for all you share with us. Hugs. PS - tell your hubby to come say hello next time he pops in! :-)

You can roll a tracing wheel along the top of the pages in the tablet to make them perforated, if you wanted to tear off a page or two. Also, if you ever made a row of fake stamps, to separate them like real ones. Hope I'm explaining it right. I always enjoy your videos.

Loved the folio videos but have to say I’m still thinking about that poor headless farmer tag! 🤣

Yes Gayle, we even like to watch you fussy cut 😊. Such an awesome project. So many options and ideas. You have so many goodies to choose from. Thank you for sharing 🤗

I have that lace too Gayle . . . I cut it down the middle so that it isn't so wide and makes it double the amount of lace!

I love your videos, you are fast and love how you talk your thoughts out loud. I watch other videos and get bored real Quick. I haven’t met a Montana person that I didn’t just love. Must be in the Water !

So cute:)

I figure if I'm ever in Montana and I hear you in a Hobby Lobby or antique store, I'll come up and say "hi Gayle"...you'll look at me and say, "why hi Carol", because you'll know my voice and laugh from me laughing with you and talking to you when I watch your videos!!! I have so loved this series with you. Thanks for doing it.

I just love this folio, adding a signature brilliant!

Yep Kathy that’s right!

I was yelling at you to put a brad in the metal thingy. Looks awesome all the same . I’m making one too along with you and probably 19,999 other subbies . Cheers from Oz xxxxx. Love your work.

I’ve broken the lid on my fabritac bottle before. I just switched the lid from a used up bottle that I hadn’t thrown away.

I've never done a pocket folio before. It is very beautiful. I just love the style and layout. They look like they would be perfect to send to a special friend stuffed with items for Happy mail. I suppose that's what Emily did for you. Hahaha Thank you for another video full of great ideas.

❤️😊❤️

I've been watching each video in this series, thinking that as soon as I'm done with what I'm working on I'm going to make one. I kept thinking though, remember to look at putting a signature in that center spine. Get to the end of this video and lo and behold you're doing a signature! Love it!!

The headless farmer made me spit out my tea because I was laughing out loud! You are soooo cute and oh so very creative! I can't wait to attempt to make this folio!

Yep! Why not!! :-) On to part five ... :-)

This is turning out amazing! I love the idea of the signature. ❤

Loving the folio series but the headless farmer creeps me out LOL Now I have to go to Hobby Lobby and look for that lace.

This Folio is so sweet! I can't wait to try it but wondering what to do with it after.... maybe a gift?

Alfalfa! The actor had a dbl cow lick like my youngest! Lol

Please part 5!

I have been enjoying this series so much! And you are such an enabler - in the middle of the video I had to run over to the shop you mentioned and buy sari silk!!! 😂

Lol. I can’t sleep, it’s 2 am and I just woke my husband up laughing because you are looking for words to go with your farmer you just put lace over his face. I started laughing and said out loud too bad you can’t find one that says don’t lose you head! Or keep your head in the game. My husband thinks I have officially lost my mind and he’s totally not amused that I can’t stop laughing.

Sari silk...like some of us...a little frayed around the edges but still with a lot of personality. :)

Little Rascals --Alfalfa had the hair sticking up!

Just change the spout out if the spout is what’s broken! :)

Well done Gayle,smashed it,looks fab,definately going to have a go at one of these.xxLizzie

You improvise very well. Love it..😊

Omg, those are beautiful. I love them. I'm searching of a good way to do this folio for my art and I keep going to the four lapbook style like u doing folio. I like it a lot.

Hi Gayle, loving this folio series and how it just keeps going and going!! Just as a thought (though you may have already sewn it in by now!) - how about adding elastic to the middle so you can switch out the signatures rather than sewing one in? That way it can be used over and over again a but like a TN! ~ Victoria xx

Hey Gayle, I watch your video's every day and thumbs up it but i never leave a comment. Just wanted to say I love your video's!

oh that signature would be great if it was removable , so that you could write on the paper. Maybe put it in with elastic and not sew.. Just a thought.

You had me laughing at Haystack...you were on the right track...Alfalfa is a hay lol! Very inspiring by the way...

One of my favorite laces when journal making....if you want smaller lace, I cut right down the middle and double your laces!!!

I think your 'icky water' was yellow, the mangi flavour if i remember correctly😊. I love this Gayle. The Mrs Cogs image on the front is adorable and the colours are perfect with the cover. You chose the perfect coloured sar silk for the closure, it looks great. I was just thinking that the pocket looked bare when you mentioned it, how funny😂. Thank you so much for sharing this series. xxx

LOL--headless farmer! You nut, you. 😂😂

For your "icky waters", I noticed with my herbal teas, sometimes there is a weird flavor, if I add lemon or lime juice, it covers that flavor. Little at a time, esp if you aren't crazy about strong lemon flavor. Can't do those waters, because they all seem to have an artificial sweetener that makes me sick to my stomach, so I can't testify specifically to that. Sorry, but I thought maybe it would be helpfull anyway? Lol Loving all these folio projects! So many uses! Thinking I will have (eventually - when I get some.. lol) an accordian milti- pocket for ephemera, plus probably the project one, definately a lapbook one for working on the couch or whatever. Thank you again, for sharing your ideas & time & etc. I do love your videos. Although I feel like I say the same things on most of them. Lol .. but if they are beautiful & I love them... what else can I say?! :) These are perfect for "destash / happymails" too. Imo Nik the booksmith's is awesome too! Think hers started the most recent , folio "epidemic"..
