Hello Gayle, I've never done a hidden spine, thanks for sharing how you do yours again. I love how the tags came out, they are just gorgeous.

Hi I was sent over by Traceyartandcraft to learn how to do the spine . Thankyou. and Tracey for doing this for me .🥰🐨🇭🇲

The tags turned out gorgeous! 😍 Thank you for revisiting the hidden spine, Gayle, very fun video! 💕💕💕

Great video today. Always fun spending time watching you create.

Hi Gayle! I really like the tag with the tall stem flowers! And I really like hearing your voice again🤩

Love the hidden spine Gayle, great technique! Cute tags!

Morning Gayle. 😃 thanks for the reminder for hidden binding!

Thanks for showing how to do a hidden spine always wonder how to do it , love how the tags came out

Gayle you make a hidden spine look so easy ... My first one was a big disaster. I'm gonna try it your way. Thanks & hugs.

The cover, and the papers for the pages in this journal are my most favorite style. Neutral… thanks for sharing the hidden spine method. I needed to see this, loved it. 💕🌸💕

Love the hidden spine, gonna try it on my next one. Love those tags.🙏❤️

Thanks for the tutorial on the hidden spine. I watched one a long time ago and needed to see it again. I have several pasta boxes just begging to be made into a journal. 😊

Thanks for the reminder of the hidden spine, I will have to give that a try 😊. Love the tags!

Awesome idea to use your own digitals in your new book❤️

Love how the tags turned out. Thanks for showing a hidden spine. I’m going to try one because I have a lot of boxes saved that I could use. Have a nice afternoon with your hubby.

A long time since I've done a hidden spine too, so I needed this. Thank you, Gayle.

Thanks for our morning inspirations. 💜M

I needed that hidden spine refresher, & I have a few Rotini boxes saved...thank you!! ❤🤗 "Tidy as you go" is my motto too!! 😉

Gayle… thanks for the hidden spine tutorial. Very informative! That poor little red tag with the stenciled leaves… before it gets lost in the to-do box… try using one of your blender brushes with a complimentary Distress color, because the stenciled NUVO glaze will resist the color and the leaves will show up… then use a tissue to remove any of the distress ink from the leaves. Hoping it will save the little sad tag. Hugs! Susan G

I can’t wait to see what you do with this journal. Just love it already. And I was wondering with the tag you stencilled if it might make a difference to that the glaze as a resist, and go over the tag with some inking. The ink would wipe off the glaze and leave an interesting pattern perhaps. Just an idea😊

Love, love your tags❣️🤗💕🦋

Thank you so much Gayle. This was very helpful.

Thank you for showing us how to do the Hidden Spine.. I am putting my first junk journal together, had no idea how to put this together.. I love how the pages looks in the spine.. no wax thread showing..

I have found that when using Wink of Stella and it’s done, turn off the light, then shine your phone flashlight on it, the look s stunning. I wish it would be like that in regular light.🤗💕🦋

Love the tag decor.I have to try the hidden spine on my next journal.But you make it look so easy.Eekk.I hope I can .

Good Morning Gayle! TYFS the hidden spine. Congratulations to your granddaughter on her graduation. Have a great day and happy crafting. 👍🌼🌼🌼

Good Morning Sweet Gayle! The hidden spine tutorial is great. Absolutely lovely tags! But I have to admit I always look forward to the high and hugs! I guess it's a child in me that helps to hear Lala Gamma each time! Safe travels and may your granddaughters games be great! Namesta 🐞💞

I just love putting my journals and books together with this hidden spine method. Easier on the hands also. Love your journal. Can never go wrong with music paper. Happy crafting.

Good morning Gayle 🌸💜

I really like the multiple-signature journals, and the hidden spine gives a very polished look. Thanks for the refresher. 😁🥰

Love watching your videos! Tidying up never bothers me. I can't work crowded either. Great tags and hidden spine journal! Thank you again.

Everything came out nice and I appreciate the hidden spine explanation.

Love the hidden spine 💕

Thankyou gayle x really helped me xx

Hi Gayle! Thanks for showing the hidden spine, I will be doing one in the near future. 😊 Awesome tags, we can never have enough of them around. Have a fabulous time! 💜

Gayle it’s such a great project to do. You’re grooving just fine 👍 I’ve been watching “This Is Us” good grief 😢😆🤪l’m all caught up in it! I’ve been catching up on some of your old videos and enjoying those so much. Have a great day Gayle!

Good morning Gayle! I have so enjoyed your videos and the interviews you did at the retreat. So fun to see people and hear about the journey into the journal world. Loved the walk around your gardens too. Such a lovely yard. Love the poppy journal so much. Wishing you a wonderful fun filled day. Hugs, Angela

I'm happy to learn about the hidden spine- so thank you! I'll be trying it 😊

The tags look awesome. Thanks so much for showing how you do your hidden spine.💕🌴😍

Thank you so much for sharing this hidden Spine I have always wanted to try one!

Exactly what I was looking for today! You're the best!

I want to try a hidden spine now, as well as some of the shiny sparkly stuff. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for sharing you make it look so easy. I'm going to try this!!

Good afternoon Gayle! 💕 My very first hidden spine I did a few years ago, I fussed and measured and fidgeted till I had everything just right. Then I glued it into the cover upside down. 😆Saved this for later viewing so I can find it before I do my next hidden spine. 👍 Hope you’re finding time for a bit of rest between travels.

Very beautiful gorgeous journal I ❤️ it very much u do amazing excellent awesome job I admire that in u very much 😊💐👌

Nice book! Thanks for a refresher. Luv the Timesless Memories papers! 😙😙. 🦌💌❤️📚🧵🪡

I wish I rolled that way! (Tidying as you go.) I hope you have a terrific Tuesday. Love&hugs

Good Morning Gayle ❤️ I love the hidden spine and the tags look fabulous!

Loved learning about the hidden spine and how it’s done again. I didn’t get it right the times I tried. Now I know what I was doing wrong. Thank you 😊 and the tags look beautiful.

Gayle, I'm new at this and this helped a lot! Appreciate you and you're so sweet! ❤

Thanks for sharing! Blessings!💕

Thanks Gayle I’ve been waiting to see how you do a hidden spine. I’m in the process of a hard cover book and needed to see this. I’m clapping 👏 yay Gayle. Love your you tube channel. You teach and inspire.

This looks awesome ! XXX

Good Morning Gayle. 💖💖

This was so appropriate for me just now. I just finished me first hidden spine and it felt so awkward to do. But after falling into the trap of putting one signature in upside down, things went better. I really liked this video! Blessings -- Cindy

Love these Gayle! I always use packaging for my journal covers. I NEVER buy new stuff for my journals, apart from stamp pads, dies and stamps sometimes, my goal is to re-use. My favourite packaging is BIB wine carton (they are thick and very sturdy and a great size) and for a softer cover I use cereal boxes and icecream boxes ("sun lollies" at the moment haha) xxx

I did a hidden spine a few years ago-- whew, it was work! lol Love the tags, my friend! :)

Thank you for the video

Hi Gayle. Thank you for sharing how to do the hidden spine. Love ❤️ the journal cover as well. Your tags are very nice 😊. With the pink tag you might be able to rub ink over the stencil. Hugs 🤗 DarvaDee

Morning Gayle!

Great video , thanks..

I'm afraid of this one but I know you will make it all better.

I’m sure Mrs. Gayle has more binder clips in that room! Cracking me up girl! Nope. Only 4 binder clips. Gotta change the lay out of the journal because poor Gayle only has 4 binder clips!

❤️

Morning beautiful Gayle xoxo hugs

Good morning, Gayle. Thank you for the tutorial for the hidden spine. I can’t wait to see that journal being decorated. Thank you for all you do. HUGS!! PS ~ the punch you used for the top of the tag, what brand?

Morning Gayle and thank you for our Tuesday video. I was wondering if there is a video showing the cover and inserts that you made for this that I may have missed ?

Have you done a tutorial on drawing with Stickles? I would love to hear any tips you might have. The tags are beautiful and the glazes make a big difference! Thank you 😊.

Gayle will you do another book journal sometime? I have a few books that I would like to do along with you. I need guidance because my brain is slow. I like how you do them. Hope you’re having a good morning. You sure are staying busy. Take care. 😍💝💖❤️💓

I think I’ve only done one hidden spine. I found it more fiddly I guess because there was less to hold onto. I did the kind that has the flaps that go out onto the cover and the back. I was yelling at you but you didn’t hear me when you were going to sew in your first signature but like to start with the last signature. I was yelling “just spin it around”, “just spin it around” and it’ll be in the last place. I need to do a mid project tidy, my desk is covered. I know back in the day when we had a local stamp store that used to have classes sometimes I would have to stop in the middle of a project and tidy up because I just couldn’t deal with the mess especially when you’re sharing a table with someone and their mess is creeping into your area.

Hi Gayle! I always learn so much from you…this was an Awesome video. I have a question…how many pages do you have in each signature? Thank you in advance. 🤗

Good morning Gayle!! Love the hidden spine, haven't done one in awhile because it is fiddly! But you made it look easy. Does Gayle need more binder clips? 🤣 Have an awesome day my friend...💜

Good afternoon, Gayle

Good morning!

Sorry to comment again x i used glossy accents on a flower i had fussy cut out of a magazine to make a tag . But when my tag was in the journal after it was dry ,i was checking everything befor posting to my friend,the tag had stuck its self to the opposite page and ruined the page. Do u think id put to much glossy accents on ?

🌼💝🌼

Hi Gayle 🙂 I am putting together (finally) my first journal.... a chunky monkey 😜 I have made the signatures.. three in total. The first and third I want to do the three hole pamphlet stitch and the middle signature I want to do the midori style. In your (much appreciated expert) opinion, do you think the hidden spine method would be as strong as going through the actual spine itself? I am not opposed to putting "something" over the thread and elastic... Thank you in advance for answering my question 🌷🌷

Good afternoon Gayle

🌞🌺❤
