Inspired by Nicole Relax Cut Glue 

Nicole is not only a great artist, she is down to earth and she makes me laugh. I glue book in a different way. I take my box of random images and take one image at a time and glue them in categories so I'm flipping pages all the time. For example, like you, I'll put beds on one page, or chairs, but I put them together as I come to them. One page could take months to finish until I find the right images. Also I will glue down a full page image such as a gorgeous living room and then I glue in lamps or tables and basically decorate the room my way. I found an image of a children's room with bunk beds and 2 twin beds and I added dogs. Dogs on the beds and carpet, dog images on the walls and all words pertaining to dogs. It was so fun, I'd find an image in a magazine and I'd think, that would look good in the dog's room 😂

Ceri I absolutely enjoyed every second of this! Thank you so much for your kind words and inspiring video! You are amazing! I can’t express how much this video meant to me, thank you so much! I apologize for my delay in watching your video, I’ve been in the hospital with my husband, we are still here but I finally have some time to watch some videos. Have a fabulous day my friend!

Thank you for another very inspiring and relaxing video, dear Ceri.🤗

I can not say what I enjoy and appreciate more your geli prints or your collage, I just know I love them both. Thank you

She calls it "Big Random 2"! I love her channel, so is very talented and hilarious! So happy you are doing a big random book too. TYFS Cindy

I love Nicole!! She’s like sitting down with a good friend. I find her very relaxing ❤

I love your projects. I was watching Nicole, cut-glue and paste and she was talking about you. She loves your master boards as do I.

Everything you do and talk about is interesting. Thank you for sharing your artist life.

Nicole is the one who inspired me to start my channel 😅🥹

I watch Nicole Relax Cut Glue! She is very fun❣️❣️❣️

I am thoroughly enjoying your videos!!!!!! Learning learning learning!!!!

It's nice that you could take Nicole's inspiration, but stay true to your esthetic. Love your 'themed" pages.

You have inspired me and validated the things I enjoy. I only found you recently but I am thrilled to have landed on your page. Sending so much gratitude and admiration for your talent.

Beautiful! I adore that cover! Kathleen

Thank you for telling us of Nicole! I plan to go and find her when I finish watching you glue here!

I always learn something new from your videos, either about art, creativity, resources, or insight into my own life and art. Warm wishes to you, your favorite creators, and all you viewers.

I had just decided to start a glue book when your video popped up. Very inspirational.

I love Nicole. I've been glue booking with her for years. It's very relaxing.

Ceri really enjoyed watching you create thank you. X

I like watching you create and listening to your thought process.

I love Nicole too❤

Thank you for filming this! I can't waiat to see what you do with the pages you just made

Enjoyed this inspiration collage idea booklets. Need to pickup a glue book for myself at my craft store. Very relaxing to watch video. !

How delightful! I’ve enjoyed your collage’s and watching your processes and have several collage books used to inspire and add bits in junk journaling. I’ve enjoyed Nichole’s glue book channel which I came across a few weeks ago. To see your take on using random bits that haven’t found a place yet is brilliant. Her work has inspired me to give glue books a go. Your take on her Big Random concept as an Inspiring Random Book is brilliant. I name my books. I picked up a spiral bound book for $5 this week. Ceri your take has given me a purpose for that book and a title. “INSPIRE ME, a book of random bits”.

She calls it "The Big Random". Love her and your channel!

Yes, Ceri, please flip thru your color glue book! And I also like Nicole. She's got fun stuff!

It is very fun to see you pull out you different journals. I have a file with pictures of home spaces I am inspired by. I need to follow your lead and put them in a lovely journal. 😊

Love the chair page. Have been watching Nicole for several years now. She's very inspirational and fun! I thrift most of my magazines. 99 cents or less. Yes, I buy my gluesticks in bulk. Much cheaper.

Ooh, a color themed glue book. Adding to my list.

I love watching you!! ❤

Ceri: I’ve been collaging everyday since the end of last year. It is so relaxing, especially after a day of work. Nicole is a hoot. A very free artist who does some very funny collages. I’ve been using a magazine, picked up at one of my design lectures. I put things in there that I just love. No rhyme or reason. Just fun. And I, too, love looking at pages that are finished. Also, I like straight edges, and exact fussy cutting. This is me and that’s that! Carol from California

No need to apologize for the way you think creatively! We all have different styles. I also like that organized way of collaging.

I want to make one of these books ❤

Interesting Ceri. I always think I should do a glue book or two but never seem to have time. 😏 TFS Hope you do some more with us. Hope you have a great day.

Great job Ceri, I love them.

Loving this video Ceri. I also enjoy watching Nicole, she is such fun

I watch Nicole all the time. I enjoy glue books she really does a great job ! Glad you found her😊👍

Ideas percolating... I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs to you and Biscuit.

You are definitely an artist, and a very inspiring one. You do make a difference. Thank you. Blessings and hugs 🤗

I’m not sure we should view failure as bad. As you pointed out, “non-successes” can be great learning experiences. I think, as a culture, we need to learn to embrace failure, rather than making it out to be a negative. That’s how creativity and problem solving are born. Thanks for another enjoyable video!

Nicole of Relax.Cut.Glue sent me here. I’ve enjoyed your video. Liked and subscribed.

Loved your video Ceri. Something else I’m keen to try. ❤❤

I love Nicole’s channel❤. This was a fun video Ceri. Now I want to start a big bad book as well. When purchasing glue sticks look for: Permanent ✔️ Waterproof ✔️ Heavy Duty ✔️ Extra Strength ✔️ Stay Away from Washable ❌ Temporary ❌ Removable ❌ Repositionable❌ Hope this helps!!! 😊

Fantastic glue session

It's her Big Random glue book :) I follow Nicole since the very beginning of her channel and inspired by her,I already have 2 of those big books finished. I hope you do more of this on your channel- loved it❤❤ I actually collage almost exactly the way you do. Rectangle images and themed mostly. 😂oh, and I get frustrated when it gets too sticky as well

I watched you cut pics out of magazines and a few days later, a friend dropped off a few mags. I had a nice relaxing time cutting pics out. I grabbed a notebook and started laying them out. Im learning (you taught me to notice paper dolls sitting or floating) how they face each other. I did glue some beautiful cigar boxes and cigars to one of my boxes, you use baskets. Im going back to paying attn. You are explaining the loyalty cards.

I love how you bring us through your thought process. Really enjoyed it

I would love to see the world through an artistic eye. I really enjoy how you are so systematic in your method. 😊

I just have found your chanel! Absolutely amazing!!!!!! I love your collages. I do some as well but have to learn a lot about it.

A fun thing to do. Great idea I look forward to seeing your April 23, creation on the collab from Rachel . Be well

Thanks for helping me find Nicole and inspiring me to start a random glue book. It looks like so much fun! I’m going through some old magazines and “harvesting” while I watch your videos. Your voice is very soothing. ❤

WAIT!!! You have a color themed glue book? I NEED to see it please! 🙏🏻

It is not a fault to be neat!!!! Those of us who like things neat and tidy must never apologize!!! It's a virtue!!!❤️

One tip for remembering your layout is to take a picture on your phone of the final layout so you can understand where you are taking your design

I enjoy my little glue book. You may not teach collage as such, but I find I learn things about design principles by listening to and watching you stream of consciousness narration. So many thanks

Ceri, your discussion about composition and observation of how to be aware of how art affects you in different situations. It’s like an art class in being how more than just color theory. It was great. I needed this today. I’m grateful for your insight and experiences.

I don't get enough magazines to do a glue book, but I'd like to give it a go! I do smash booking!

Neat is good! Can you teach me?😂 Love your art. Thanks for sharing.❤️

❤ Nicole👍🇺🇸

I also follow Nicole and love her. I have not started a glue book yet because of lack of magazines, however, I did just get my hands on some free ones from a swap tent so see that happening in the near future. I find it relaxing watching you collage and love how these pages turned out. Very pleasing to the eye ☺♥

Have been watching Nicole's videos for a while, she is an absolute hoot, just love her sense of humour. So enjoyed your video today and this has also given me a very different idea of a glue book. You are so creative with your collage and feel I have learnt something from you today. Thank you.

stitched while you sorted and glued. thanks for the company. 😊❤ ps: you sure have an eye for beautiful images!!

Your definition of an artist is spot on.

I really enjoyed this video Ceri. I found myself saying to you "why did you cut that lovely piece off" but once it was finished I understood why you did it. It is all about our own visions with no rules. I find it a joy to appreciate someone else's creations even though it is not something that I would of chose to do. I look forward to seeing what you will do with the library books as it is a favourite subject of mine. There is something rather grand about books, world globes and studies with big leather chairs. Art is a great way to express yourself and it is a step in the right direction to help with healing oneself by the use of mindfulness. The journey is well worth it. Now it's time to visit Nicoles channel and watch her video. Thank you for your enjoyable video Ceri.

❤great idea

I did indeed enjoy this. I've never made a "glue book", however it does look like a great deal of fun. Very inspirational video Ceri, thank you for sharing!😊

Ceri, I love your channel and to be truthful I find myself giggling at your comments as I follow along. If you ever travel to Savannah please let me know. 😄there’s a couple of great art supply stores and we can pick up lunch in Historic downtown !!

It's a fun idea with the glue book and I love collarges for that same reason. Love your spread well done 😊❤ I use pritt stick too as find the best one yes I agree on buying in bulk

Haha, I think we all found out about and started our gluebooks from her videos 🤗 It’s crazy more people aren’t subbed to her considering what seems like her gluebook reach in the industry!

I, too, was inspired by Nicole's "glue book of colors." Love what you have done here Ceri and I like how you used images that you hadn't yet found a home for. I have so many imagines in my bin, I think I will start using them this way. Your video's are never too long, you are a joy to listen to and learn from. Thank you for sharing.

Love love the collage so pretty, warms my heart❤

This is wonderful.I would love to see one of your books…I wonder what you will do to the pages if they are just backgrounds.

I also follow Nicole. I relate to her personal story as well as loving the things she creates. I want to do a glue book, but I don’t get my hands on magazines all that often. I have a box with some clippings so that I can eventually begin.

I find collaging so relaxing. Thanks for inspiring me.

Just found your channel and am really enjoying it! Love to hear you explaining everything. Thanks for sharing!

Looks great, you make it look effortless.

You edited beautifully this was inspiring.

This was lovely Ceri, thank you 💓

💜💜💜 WOW-totally inspirational, Mr Ceri! I couldn’t wait to run to my craftroom and start assembling my fav pictures. I knew someday they would all come together in some way. Thank you!

Neat new project! Tfs.

Nice book .

Ceri, thank you for all your mixed media content . I thoroughly enjoy your content, manner and humor. You have introduced me to P.M.ArtistStudio, Froyle and others. I have purchased many of your stencils as well. Thank you so much. I am learning so much.

Great 💡

I too recently discovered Nicole and Glue booking. It is so fun and relaxing. Enjoy your Random Glue Book, I will be interested to see how it comes along. 🌸

I like your neatness.

Recentlly moved, still not set up to craft. I enjoyed this so much, both the commentary and the process. Thanks for sharing your creative journey.

Thanks!

@RelaxCutGlue Nicole you are so inspiring

💜

I use a plastic free alternative to the glue stick, which can be recycled 🙂 Coccoina Natural Glue in a metal tin, which smells like Bakewell tart!

@ 32 - Left side: my eye traveled from carpet to winged chair to pillow - Right side: I thought primary color triangle - red to blue to yellow.

I know it isn't a lot, but I hope it helps! I very much enjoy your videos!

There have been times that I think a page is finished. And I'll pick it up later and add something. My first rule of thumb: a journal is never finished.

Some people take a pic of their layout, you can always delete it later.

Ceri, the link to Nicole doesn't work.

Ceri, the link doesn't work.

If the goal is random gluing, it seems like you are "fussing" about the colors & blending & balance quite a bit. Hopefully it was more relaxing for you than it seemed..

I enjoyed this immensely, Ceri!! 💙 Nicole @ Relax.Cut.Glue. is one of my Besties!! 🩵🤗🩷 I love to gluebook...been doing it a long time, even before I knew it was a thing!! 😉

I started a glue book from watching Nicole too! I’ve been enjoying it. ❤
