Craft with Me - The Next Tim Holtz Fabric Journal! 

New subscriber here!🙋‍♀️ Just getting materials together to start mixed media and you truly inspire me! 51 years old and starting a new hobby!

this was fun to see the ephemera "we" made go into the journal!! Never seen pockets and such bring placed into a journal ~ helps me understand the process much more. Question for you ~ what makes this a Tim Holtz journal? Did you buy it with papers in it (the pages) ...do you get the cover and that is all. I am fascinated to know. I have made only 2 smallish journals - I am wanting to understand. Hope all you all sleep well tonight!!! I have never made signatures - just pasted back to back pages. I have lots of created pages - so now taking it to the next level. Thank you!!

I love how this journal has come together Gayle!!! I do love how you just pull everything together using already made ephemera. TFS!!! Hugs, Sharon 🌷💜

Georgous, my friend. I know who that Journal belongs to, someone extremely lucky. Good measure.. LOL.. 😅😂🤣. Hope you get some rest soon. 🐝💚🐞💙🦋

Beautiful journal! ❤️❤️❤️How do you make the cover look like it's has padding?

I remember the days when you'd look thru your journal and make a list of all the things you needed to make for it. This is much more fun!

I love watching you put a journal together like this. I've learned so much from you. Thank You.

My kids had a bunny when they were young. It's name was Stew .. Rabbit Stewart.

Me again Gayle, I just can’t tell you enough how much I long to own one of your wonderful creations. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping beyond hope that one day it will happen. If I make it in time when you post. Call me crazy 😜 Your friend Cindy from a small town in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️❤️❤️

Love the journal and listening to you "chat" with us! So glad you had a wonderful time with your family! Take good care and have a blessed day friend!

My dear Gayle, it is 100+ degrees here in Texas!! 🔥 The last thing I want to hear about is your walk in PANTS and a SWEATER!🤣 I am so envious. BTW I laughed out load at your Tim Holtz/Good Measure Joke! My family is always telling me how lame my jokes are; but I keep myself entertained and my family amused. Take care.

Wonderful and awesome journal Gayle!! I love the padded heart on the front cover!! I enjoy watching you pick , put and decide if the ephemera works there!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

Hi Gayle..still catching up on videos. I haven't finished watching yet but I know everything will be fabulous and I will save it to try making some of it. Also after one of your other videos I HAD to get some of the AMAZING coffee dyed papers from Veronica. They are fabulous. So thanks for enabling me..yet again 😂😂..back to the video 🤗🤗💜💜

Nancy Sale Gail, I've just started watching you~maybe a couple of weeks ago. I never knew what Junk Journaling was~and I just love it. I'm getting ready to start creating my very first JJ. Question: I want to coffee dye/tea dye my papers. However, I do have some digital prints to print. I have an Ink Jet & a Laser printer. I noticed on your video of coffee dying that you did stain some digital prints. What kind of a printed did you use to print them? It seems there is a difference that I have to do~depending on the printer that I use. Can you help me with this? I love watching your videos. You are a very good teacher. Thank you. Nancy Sale

Oh geez, I need to stop thinking. I was thinking about the rest of the letters in your alphabet challenge and I don’t know if you have them all picked out yet or not, I’m assuming you’re picking V for vellum, I was thinking about was W for wax, X I have no idea other than x-ray, xylophone or xtreme. Y for Yupo, do you have any Yupo paper, that stuff is awesome with alcohol ink and that could be an alphabet challenge and a mixed media Monday both, and Z I have no idea, zany zombie?

HI Gayle - what's the name of that ring thing that's holding the coin and word "hope" - you also have it on the "unglued" envelope with a number hanging off it - I searched amazon and Holtz under hooks, clips, pins, and they come up but in building size - !!! It's not a safety pin. It's a ??? Jackie

Hi there Gayle, this journal is going to be awesome... gotta love that Timmy. 💕

I enjoyed watching as you decided where to place the ephemera in this journal. You make each session so much fun. I hope you will share a "Jimmy Joe" video or photo one day. Thank you!

Super Fantastic journal Gayle!!! You may have already mentioned it so forgive my inquiry...but will this be offered for sale in your Etsy shop or is this a giveaway? You know we're all chomping at the bit to own it!!! ;) xo

Absolutely gorgeous, love, love, love this journal :) love the grunginess :) thank you so much for sharing :)

Yes, more shabby chic journals! This is a beautiful project!

Jimmy Joe is probably just tired from all the great company. Changes in dogs environment or more stimulation than usual makes them tired. Mental stimulation like trick or obedience, training or people watching can be as tiring for dogs as a walk. Dogs will go, go, and go and then will rest. Snoring is deep sleep (REM) and shows he feels very relaxed and secure!

I rolled when you said Timmy measure tape for good measure lol. I enjoy your videos so much. You brighten my day with laughter and wonderful idea's..tfs

Thoroughly enjoyed this video, I watch for brain stimulation, not really mastered the skill yet, right now I only have use of one hand.💕💕

So nice to catch up with you today had too much sun so had to take to my bed, was great as you popped up and yay loving that journal xx

Oh my gosh, this journal is gorgeous! Fingers, toes and everything in between crossed for a chance at this one! 💕 🙌 🤞

Ceasar Salad is the most fabulous name I have ever heard for a rabbit ... I have always wanted a guinea pig and if I ever get one I will be borrowing that name for him :) ... thank ur granddaughter for the inspiration xox

What a fun journal! I’ve gotten so many ideas for pockets, bands and tucks🥰

Beautiful journal Gayle. “Timmy measure tape for good measure”. That one really made me laugh. You have such sweet wit. Have a wonderful rest of your day. Thank you for sharing 🤗

I like your journal fabolous. Here and there i saw a idea come by . thank you Gayle.

This Timmy is coming together very nicely! ❤️

love love love this Gayle !!!!! enjoy your day xx

Fun video. This is great journal.

Another late night viewing your video after more time at the storage unit again today! Love me some Timmy too! Love this journal! Huge fan of your Tim journals, so happy I finally got one! More office supplies, tons of envelopes in different sizes and misc. vintage papers found so it was not totally sad, just memories of my Dad at his office. He would be thrilled I plan to use it in journals, maybe try a Timmy journal too… lol! You have once again inspired me! Love and hugs! 💖🤗💖

I grew up in Park City, Utah (where the 2000 winter Olympics were held) and we had snow 8 months out of the year. We would have lots of rain as well. Then I moved to Oklahoma for a couple years where there were huge storms and the rain was lovely. Now in live in Southern California in the desert and we don’t get much here. I miss the rain SO much! I’m hoping we will have a good fall and winter full of rain and maybe even a little snow.

Another pretty journal under your belt almost. You are so talented.

Do you have the starting video on this journal? Making the cover, choosing the paper.....etc

Oh geez, I need to stop thinking. I was thinking about the rest of the letters in your alphabet challenge and I don’t know if you have them all picked out yet or not, I’m assuming you’re picking V for vellum, I was thinking about was W for wax, X I have no idea other than x-ray, xylophone or xtreme. Y for Yupo, do you have any Yupo paper, that stuff is awesome with alcohol ink and that could be an alphabet challenge and a mixed media Monday both, and Z I have no idea, zany zombie?

Love these tim holtz journals

Really pretty journal Gayle. Love me some Timmy!!!! Could you help me with a problem I'm having. I have been using the art glitter glue for some time now but my original pin got bent quite some time ago. Having been trying different pins to put in top but all seem to rust or discolor and then make my glue icky. What am I doing wrong???? I see the pin you have in yours right now and I have those same pins but yet they get all grungy and turn my glue a different color and don't really seal the nozzle well so I am constantly having to unclog it. HELP!!!!! from "Frustrated in Wisconsin".

It is always fun watching you fill a journal.

Do your sell your Tim Holtz journals?

Gorgeous journal. So pretty x

Sorry another question....when you mod podge the paper, is it printed from your ink epson? Do you have any problems with smearing? And as always I love your videos and am learning so much from your beautiful work. Thank you so much. Veronica

"For good measure!' Hahahahaha! 🤣

I had an idea, I know that’s dangerous, it’s about you getting ahead with your videos. Why don’t you just sit down one day and knock out all the rest of the alphabet and then save those if you need them to fill-in when you’re not able to film or to have on hand to insert in between others to build up your stash of videos. You don’t need to stretch them to an hour, you could just make the half hour videos for the rest of the alphabet and save them for when you need a filler.

fabric flips could also be used as a kind of 'pin board' for inside your journal, a lovely place to attach some photos or other memento's with some pretty pins. Just a thought, as i haven't ever actually had one...not enough fabric! lol Love the rabbits name! Had a rabbit a few years ago, his name was 'Attila the Bun', never heard of another with the same name there either.

I just Love goobers, Awesome.

Great journal. Love the Tim Holtz fabrics and papers. Beautifully created, Gayle!

You have the most soothing voice ever. Love your videos and been wanting to do a Timmy journal. Is there a video about the cover and signatures?

😘💜💜🤗

🙂🌞🇨🇦

I love your hi its Gyle,xxo

Beautiful journal!

👏🏻👍🏻. ...😻

Wow...this one was sooo nice! But then again I like all of your stuff...Lol can you pls...pls...PLEASE! make another altered book journal. I have all my stuff ready to create with you again!

Just another masterpiece of your creations. So beautifully done. How the hour flies when watching you Gayle, so mesmerizing! Thank you!

Sorry my kind pocket was too big. Unfortunately I am just learning and went with the flow before I knew about little things like measurements. Ugh. I also made some ephemera using junk mail and was so excited at how it turned out until I held it up to my journal and realized it was it is 9 inches long. Oh the disappointment I will tell you! I just have them in my stash because they are lovely but the way they are configured it would be too hard to cut down. Dang it. We all have to suffer the learning curve. Hopefully I am almost done! 😐. Random question though, why are they called cabinet cards??? Hugs💕 Veronica

Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing and the inspiration. You sounded subdued at the beginning of your video...I’m glad that it was nothing serious. Keep safe.

🥰❤️❤️🥰

Beautiful Journal Gayle! Love it!! TFS! Blessings!❤️

Good morning Gayle, after days and days of unbearable heat and humidity it’s finally cool and breezy. So nice. I truly am a fall person. Once again a wonderful video. I can’t say it enough but I truly enjoy spending a hour a day with you. To be truthful I could spend the day watching you and listening to you. Another wonderful creation of yours. Hope you enjoy your day. Your friend Cindy from a small town in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️❤️❤️

Good morning. Gayle, the First Day Covers might be worth something, since they are in a set and look "Mint". I wish we had some of your coolness. We are at 91 at 11:30 am. We decided not to go to the estate sales today, because of the heat, so I'm in the air conditioner house with the fan aimed at me, cool as a cucumber and watching your video. What more could I want at this moment, lol.

💜

Hi Gayle a happy Sunday from Scotland. I always enjoy your videos and the inspiration you give.

I am crazy about this journal. It’s has so many cool items that you have made. You are a journal guru! I was wondering if you remember what the name of the video was that featured the embelli clips that you made. I’m ready to make some but don’t remember the measurements and the directions. I searched for it under your name but it didn’t come up. 🤦‍♀️

Good Morning Gayle, cant wait to see how this journal comes alive. Have a wonderful day 😊

I just LOVE watching you stuff a new journal. What fun! This one will be done before you know it. Thanks Gayle for all sorts of new ideas on ephemera. ❤️

Morning Gayle great you're back. Sending love and appreciation for what you do with your vlogs

Good morning Gayle, this Timmy’s journal is awesome 😎. Love , love 💗 it . But then , all your videos are awesome 😎. Blessings 😍😎😍

So enjoy watching you create!! This journal is gorgeous!!🥰 I had to purchase some padded hearts 💕after seeing that cover! 😉 You make Timmy proud with your work!

I just love watching a journal come together. Being new to this jj business, it is magical, one minute blank pages, the next a beautiful page.

Gayle it is beautiful and you inspire me everytime to create a backdrop of loveliness for my memories Thankyou xxxx

I loved the pockets you put on the music pages. The design matched the brackets that link the staves together...so clever😊

Hi Gayle the journal is beautiful. I hope your day is full of blessings. 💕

Great timmy journal , I'm not much of a journaler but I love the journals. Does anyone just get the journals for the pretty pages ?

I tell people that the fabric flips are for secret thoughts. You can hide your secret (not terribly secret) ideas under them.

hi Gayle, catching up on videos, love this one!!

My sister lives in Clancy, I'll have to tell her about the college theater camp for her grandsons.

I luse the fabric flips for hiding something extra underneath, like some little surprise too.

Good morning Gayle! Hope you’re having a great week! Stay safe!

Gayle! I was done with my journel and heading out to weed but you popped up and I had to watch. Darn! 😂

where did you find your Tim Holtz book of tags??

Just thinking, how about a Christmas in July journal?

Happy Sunday Gayle! I hope y'all have a great day! Xoxo hugs

This journal is beautifully done. I love it!

Lovely journal! Thanks for sharing!

Another work of art, Gayle! Love how you put it all together! 💗💗

Journal is beautiful!! So sad I missed the green journal yesterday. But I was busy with my 3 yo grandson. He's wearing this grandma out but I'm loving spending the weekend with him!! 💜

Hi Gayle, I've been watching you show non stop for days since I found you! I do have a question about fabric... Do you wash your fabric before you use it?

Rain! That sounds wonderful! I live in Arizona where it is 117* today and no rain in sight! Jealous! Thankfully I have an air-conditioned, well-stocked “girl garage” (instead of a she shed!).

"For good measure!' Hahahahaha! 🤣

Wait, they left Caesar salad with you? I kept waiting for you to say you were just babysitting or did they actually give you their bunny? Does he actually live there now to be Jimmy Joe’s permanent friend?

Why did you toss aside the card with the two black women? I thought that would fit very well. I loved it.
