Making Ephemera! - Ceri's Edith Holden Pockets! 

I think Cary must have use a whole Edith Holden book. It was fun to figure out everything with you, Gayle.

It’s just amazing how as a bookseller in the1980’s I saw this book printed and sold to great success. It has been remaindered for so many years and was able to be purchased for a few dollars. I got two on eBay a few months ago for 10 bucks! And right now you’re looking at 30$ plus for the hardcover! Oh the power of us crafters!!🤣🤣

Edith just makes me so happy. Thanks for all the ideas ceri. Thanks for showing us the how to Gayle!

I have been in the junk journal world only a couple of months, but kept hearing the name Edith Holden. Made a first trip to a library used book sale, and what did I find for $2 but Edith Holden! I was gasping for air and my friend thought I was nuts! So don’t give up hope!! The books are out there! Not sure that I can tear mine up after seeing prices on Amazon. Thank you Ceri and Gayle; these creations are beautiful!

Thank you, thank you...for demonstrating how to make the Ceri/Edith ephemera. I was hoping you would. Such good ideas for pages from Edith Holden’s book and now we know how to make them. You always come through, Gayle. That’s why we are all your subbies.😁

Great ideas and who doesn't love Edith Holden?🧡

So many great ideas foir Edith Holden books! I have ONE that i got for a dollar at a small town library. I cant tear it up yet...so I'll hoard it for awhile. TFS🤗

I keep watching and keep learning.

I'm still amazed over this wonderful gift he gave you. I'm so inspired to make those dual pockets that are folded inside or out. I don't have Edith Holden stuff, but I'm sure I can find something! Thanks for the inspiration both you and Ceri!

Love you and Ceri`s work❤️

Made two lace snippet belly bands like the ones you showed us. Love them. Now I'll be trying Ceri's pockets. Thanks Gayle💜

Well, I will be watching this video a half dozen times to get all these wonderful ideas in my head. Everything thing turned out beautiful. Thank you Gayle for this instructional video.❤️

Beautiful book

I have one Edith Holden book that I found at a yard sale over a year ago, its sitting on the shelf and just can't bring my self to cut it up yet. These are great and how special of Ceri to send you so many handmade goodies. I really like the added lace and embellishments it brings the beautiful pages to life. Thanks for the video, take care!

Great ideas! Love them all! 😍❤

What a great team you three make, Edith Holden, Ceri and Gayle Agostinelli.

😮 iv ordered 4 of these recently as they were my nans favourite and they always remind me of her (she passed earlier this year) and now, instead of just storing them, you know what im going to have to do now?! make journals 😍 thanks Gayle ❤️

I love everything!! Thanks again to Ceri for sending you all the goodies and inspiring all of us :-)

Good morning Gayle! Love Edith Holden books! Love all you have made thank you so much for sharing your time and talent and for the wonderful visit this morning while having my coffee hope you have a most blessed day 🌹❤️

Thank you for sharing Janes Memories, I was able to get two sets from Etsy!!!! Thanks for all your ideas.

I just cannot bring myself to tear out the beautiful books so I scan them and print them on linen paper or something textured. The books are sometimes hard to come by and get expensive. Eventually they'll run out and you'll have no more whahhhhh!

Wonderful video....Ceri is so talented! His work looks so perfect!

Good Morning Gayle, just love all the goodies you got from Ceri! Too much FUN!!! Thanks for sharing with us all. Looking forward to watching.

I've seen people use the pages in journals so this is excellent to use them this way. Thanks Gayle (and Ceri)!

Gayle, this was so much fun; I crafted along with you, except for the sewing which I will do later. I was fortunate, one of the eBay sellers lowered the price of these books for half the day and I ended up buying six of them at $7.98 each. Very exciting! Just received 3 of them today so perfect timing to craft along with you.

Thanks for sharing how these were done, love Edith Holden too. Have a great day! 👍🌻🌻🌻

I love the way you made and decorated these. Ceri's Ideas aer awesome. You made them yours using different pages and decorations. The last one is my faviorite.

These are great! I love all the different ways to do pockets! Thanks for showing us how, Gayle! 😊

Thanks for showing us how to make all of Ceri's goodies. So fun.

Jane's memoirs, I really ought to get that! I have the same name after all! lol. Just love Edith Holden, with 3 copy's of her book I'm REALLY trying to make myself use one for journal things...especially with Ceri & Gayles beautiful makes to inspire me :) Little note on my shop, Krafting Kitty Kat on etsy, the labour day sale went over really well, so after a bit of thought I have decided to continue it ( same 20% off of everything) as I was made aware that a few people couldnt get the items they want due to pay-days, budget restraints, etc.....so take a look and pick up an item or two.

Still catching up on Ceri and your videos. Just loving the comraderie from across “the pond”!!! I love your laughter, Gayle and I’m finding myself saying, .....” Soooooo,” and “Oh Kay, then.” It’s funny how we do not just pick up tips but also little mannerisms..... LOVE THIS COMMUNITY!!! Happy Journal Journey!! 💜💜💜

Hi Gayle, you sew those rounded corners perfect. I just started using my sewing machine with journal and have to tell you my rounded corners are not pretty lol. Guess what they say “practice makes perfect” will be my mantra going forward.

I have 2 copies of this book. My Mom loved this book. Never knew what to do with them. Now I do!!! I have a large selection of old books! Going to make them into ephemera!😀😀😀😀❤❤❤❤

What a great bunch of ephemera, thank you for going through it piece by piece. Hugs, Amy💕😺

I love the Edith holden pockets. Thanks for showing us how. ❤️❣️❤️

Oh, your Ceri ephemera turned out great. I enjoyed watching you figure out the various pockets. Thank you for sharing 🤗

I rushed to order a copy after seeing your birthday video, I was so inspired. However, now it's here I'm not sure I can tear into it. So I ordered another, I figure one to stroke, the other to use. We shall see.

Love that 2 page one Gayle. ❤️thanks you are such an inspiration..... and I love your mischievous laugh ❤️. Hugs Maggie, ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️

You had so much fun there Gail. They are all great. Hugs xxxx

I have Edith Holden Books I have not Played with Yet! If I do.. Even though You made such Beautiful Things I just wanted to add You respected the Book. Myself and Many Others I am sure Appreciated That ! You really took Care and Respect for the Book. Thank You Lisa

Good morning 🌞shine. Everything turned out wonderful. Love all of it. Hugs to you my friend..❤❤

Edith Holden book....fantastic...however the cheapest I've seen was for @$30....and then to "gut it out"! Very daring....I just couldn't alter it..The art work is so beautiful. Btw...lovely job on your part. And the stitching is so neat!!!

Edith is always Edith... Lovely work of Ceri!! Fun to make pokets and envelopes with Edith. 😃 Thanks for sharing this video.

Thank you so much for this video Gayle! When you opened his birthday package I had hoped that you would show us how he made all those beautiful things. Yay!!!

Love these Edith Holden envelopes! They would make a great addition to a Fall journal, depending upon which flowers you chose.

The Edith Holden ephemera you made turned out really beautiful. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

You nailed it! Always love watching your videos! I learn something every time

This is a great video, I was wondering how he did all of the beautiful things he made you. Thanks for sharing, 🥰

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was gifted two EH books and I have been TERRIFIED to dig in and use the pages!! The artwork is just breath taking!! Looks like I will be taking that big step!! Thanks for the inspiration (and courage lol) to just go for it!!! Always, Leslie

Lol! Your measurements are so very much like mine!!! You gave me a great laugh!!! Thanks, I needed to see this..maybe I can cut up Edith, but it’s so very, very hard to cut her up!❤

I just got a copy of, "England is a Garden:a Wayfarer's Companion", is a beautiful book that would work well for this. Pages are illustrated with large paintings of flowers and sketches of buildings. It would be beautiful for this project. Carolyn

Fun things to make. Ordered the Edith Holden book tonight. Can’t wait for it to come so i can get started making all these fun things. Got it from Amazon. I’m excited. Hope you and Mike aren’t missing Jimmy Joe too much.

Perfect! I started an Edith Holden journal and haven't finished yet. It needs ephemera!

I love these. I'll have to make from something else. I have 2 copies of Diary of An Edwardian Lady. As long as I'm living they'll never dismantled. I did copy a page and used it. Then someone told me I couldn't make copies but it was fine to rip pages out to use. I'll just live without Edith Holden in my journals. I don't mind others dismantling their copies of her books to make pockets and cards. I just can't do it myself. One copy I bought brand new in 1978

Absolutely love these!!! We have a crafternoon session w friends in a little bit so I shared this video in our group and this is what I will be doing 🥰. I need to get my hands in a book like that!!! Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. I love your videos

I take the books apart rather than tearing out pages,keep it all together in the cover! I see you worked it out eventually Gayle🤗.such lovely drawings .. Lizzie

Adorable Eith pockets and tags! TFS the inspiration, Gayle!

For the ones with the folded pockets, fold or score it down the middle first. Then you have a line to guide the folding and the sewing. These are all so beautiful.

I love the Edith Holdens book. They are very expensive when you do find them . Amazon has them but very expensive there so im looking at estate sales thrift stores.. im not giving up. Lol You are such a sweet lady to share all your beautiful work to us. Tfs blessings to you

Gayle in answer to your question, first I made the tags, then the journal cards then I worked out all of the rest of the pages. I did it over the course of two weeks when the mood took me.

Love the Edith Holden ephemera. I bought her book a while back, but havent done anything with it yet. I look forward to making some of these. I'm kinda going thru a dry spell right now. Need to finish a jewelry chest before I start anything else. The heat bothers me even with A/C as my windows leak this hot air.

Love the Edith !!

I also meant to say that after I saw what Ceri made for you, I found and bought my 1st Edith Holden book online - what a gorgeous book.

I’m rewatching this video and making these gorgeous pockets. I feel kind of guilty saying I’m taking apart my 3rd Edith Holden Book! I have one more saved and I promised myself I won’t use it for anything but looking at - no cutting or tearing! 😊❤

Really, what would we do without Edith Holden? Thanks for this great video today! Take care!

All different items for one set that goes altogether, smart thinking , especially Edith Holden, next is Tim Holtz..

Thank you, so much, Gayle for information for “Jane” I got to get some. Still unwell, but I’m keeping folders for “8 of my JJ girls” so when I’m well everything is in the folder. I’m going to get another Edith now. Hugs be right back

Fun video. You did good..

I always buy two copies of a book so I can have use of both sides of a sheet. One book odd pages are out and the other I use even pages facing out.

Hi Gayle, just watching you make pockets like Ceri's, which Looks like fun so I'm going to cut up a book and try them, but what I wanted to ask you was do you use double thread up top? Watching the video makes one think you do.

Lovely!! You should have a look at Kathleen Sundby's channel. She does monthly Edith Holden travelers notebooks and they are gorgeous!!! She does a lot of "page construction" and then decoration. Amazing lady!!!!

I don't have an Edith Holden book so I've been buying pages and hoarding them! Now I want to use them to make the ephemera i watched you make! I can always buy more, right? Thanks for sharing!!

I’m glad that you respect copyright and don’t sell books with scans from those pages.

Good morning Gayle 🤗 finally ordered my first Edith Holden book, you convinced me 😂

Spring here in Australia so this is perfect! I recently purchased an Edith Holden book ($30 AUD) and too scared to tear it up to use because they are so hard to find here.

Gayle, I enjoyed the video. I do long for a Edith Holden book but they are quite pricey on Amazon. So I am thinking that it would make a good Christmas gift. Hope you and Mike have a great day. Hugs 🤗 Your friend Cindy from a small town in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️❤️❤️

I miss your funny antidotes about Jimmy. Hugs💕

Gayle does Ceri, sell these? I couldn't find them on his Etsy so I just wondered

Hi Gayle. Gertie and I are wondering WHERE in tarnation we can find an Edith Holden book? These are sooo cute and I'd love to make some.❤❤❤

😊❤ Great 👍

New to this😉. Where did you get that binder with all the stickers. I assume you made the pockets in the binder but where are those type of stickers procured? did you do a tutorial for the storage binder?Thanks for sharing your talents.❤️

So brave to cut up a treasure of a book. I'm curious about the book you pulled your floral fussy cuts out of. Did you make that in a tutorial?

I have never stitched pages!

Do you happen to remember where you purchased the pink scissors you use with the padded handles? I have difficulty cutting for long periods of time and I’d like to give those scissors a try. Thank you in advance... I’d love to find an Edith Holden book too!!! I keep searching LOL

love this. where does one find edith holden books?

Found you today!

Gayle, I might have missed it, but what is the flap on the back of the one tag? I made all of these last night along with you, was great fun and I used a lot of great pages from my book. My book is a tad bit smaller than yours, didn't know there were diff. sizes. Thanks for the tutorial.

Gayle, I'm trying to find Edith Holden books but found they are quite expensive. Any ideas where one might find them for less than 25.00? I so love watching your videos and enjoy crafting with you. Hugs ❤.

Gayle how come you use the original papers in your journals? I tend to copy my really nice papers so I always have the really cool ones. I am only asking. I do enjoy your program and I watch most every day and sometimes I watch several videos in one setting. I have made a number of your projects since I started watching you. God bless.

Can you tell me where you purchased the wooden handle for your edge shading/inking?

Are you getting smoke from forest fires in Oregon and Washington? Even mainland British Columbia has fires that have created smoky environment here on Vancouver Island. Hope your city is clear and your house has good air. Thinking of these wonderful Edith Holden pages. Is it hard to use original ephemera? 🦌💌❤️👍

Gayle, where do you get your stickers?

😊

I have been such a coward. I could not bring myself to tearing pages out of my Edith Holding book. However I am going to be brave. I must be brave lol.

Can you tell me what this Edith Holden book is called?!

Will you comment on wooden handle on your inking tool?

I need to get a sewing machine!

👍🏽❤️

❤️🥰❤️

Hey Gayle, I looked it up, rabbits are not rodents....they are lagomorpha
