Scrappy Saturday! - Collage Master Boards! 

I do still watch the news because I need to know what needs to be done to try to mitigate the problems, what letters need to be written, what phone calls need to be made, what candidates need to be supported, what tragedies exist that need donations, and, as you pointed out, what to pray for. Yes, it is stressful, and that is one of the reasons I stop by your channel once a day to remind myself that there are good people, people filled with kindness, generosity, hope, inclusiveness, and sympathy. The journaling community is a light in a world too filled with darkness. Case in point - an artist who is stressed because celebrating her own birthday and hanging out with her husband has taken time away from her viewers. if you don't feed yourself, you will not be able to sustain anyone else. Party all year long! If you want to make more collage pages tomorrow, do it. I either learn something new, or am reminded of something I have forgotten, every time I visit your channel. You always make me smile, and I am not alone in that. What you do for this community remains a gift, not an obligation. If you want to spend the morning dancing in the kitchen with Mike, go for it. We will be here when you get back.

Just remember you are loved very much. I always enjoy hanging out with you whatever you are doing. Spend lots of time with the people you love that’s what life is about. Glad you had a wonderful birthday. Hugs, Amy💕

I find watching or doing collage so relaxing. I’m ready for a nap. Have a wonderful day. Cheers!

Always fun to see how you put a collage together. It is one of my favorite things to do. Thanks!!

I always love Scrappy saturday. And I would love to have you do more tomorrow. I was anxious to see what they look like when you cut them up for tags and journal cards and pockets and such. So I'm looking forward to tomorrow. And I hope that someday Sandy is able to be ready to do junk journals but I'm reminded that when I talk to some of my friends nobody's interested in doing it. But it would be so nice to have a friend to do it with wouldn't it. I hope it works out good for you blessings my friend

Relaxing. Luvin this. Missing me some collage and stencil and hexagons. Just sayin.🥰 bettyb. And belated Happy Beautiful Birthday!!!

Good morning Gayle! 💕 So glad you had a great birthday week. 🤗 ooooo we’re collaging today! Very relaxing and satisfying. 👍

❤️

Happy Birthday Month Gayle! You and my momma share August. She will be 92 on August 30th! She watches you with me sometimes & what she remembers most is the birth stone ring you used to wear. I think you wore it when you were getting your wedding rings adjusted. Have a wonderful birthday! Celebrate it all month! 🎂🧁💐

Good morning Gayle. I am glad that you are enjoying you birthday week. Scrappy Saturday is always fun. Have a grateful day.

Good morning dear Gayle, I know what you mean about getting overwhelmed sometimes. Take care & Hugs 🤗.

Gayle I felt the same way about the movie. It was just like the book. Even my husband liked it. I love making masterboards. They are so versatile. Happy belated birthday. We’re glamping, the weather is in the high 70s in Michigan. Sunny, just perfect for a night bon fire.

L💜ve this method for creating master boards! TFS!

Hi Gayle. Belated birthday wishes xx. I am a long time subscriber always watch rarely comment but love all the videos. XxThink loosely translated I think it “ paper is my pleasure”. Or pleasure with paper “. Lol. Or not. Long time since I have done Italian. Lol. Loving the scrappy Saturday, who knew you could have so much fun with scraps of paper. Oh yes we did. 🤣😊😊

Hi Gayle!! Love your masterboards you've created....they are pretty!!! You've been a busy lady with your birthday week!! Glad to hear that you enjoyed it as well!! Birthdays are meant to be spent with the ones you love and sounds like you had an amazing day with Mike!! Life couldn't get any better!! TFS Gayle!! Hugs, Liz:)

I looked on Amazon.....Oragami Strips...

You are so blessed to be able to do all of your activities. You are so appreciated by many.

Ooh, they look great. I’m looking forward to seeing them cut up. 😻

Gayle I made a collage master board today... with snippets of scrap fabric and fussy cut scraps , placed them on my scanner... oh so pretty!

Happy belated birthday 🎉❤️❤️❤️

One of my favorite things to do Gayle, collage! Have a blessed day!

Good morning Gayle😊 Sounds like the birthday goings-on were so fun. Happy Belated Birthday! Some relaxing collage this morning was perfect. Thanks!

Piacere means pleasure in Italian. For example if you meet someone you say “piacere” (pleasure to meet you)

Hi Gayle. These are some great collage master board. Always nice to see the scrap pile go down a little. Take care. Love and hugs.

So happy to hear the movie lived up to the book. I never wanted the book to end. Another good book was Before We Were Yours. As always love watching and getting inspiration. Happy Birthday to a fellow Leo.

Absolutely beautiful Gayle!! After a long work day it was Great to be part of the Hi & Hugs!! You are wonderful my sweet friend. Hope Sarah is doing well. ♥️🐞💓

Amazon has 7 Gypsies too❤️

Good Morning Gayle Happy Birthday! I get overwhelmed a lot, but never by my own making 😅 It's more like an unexpected email at work can just blowup your day. Too many requests can create anxiety. I'm so happy for my crafting time, Whether I'm video taping for my channel or listening to a book on tape, it is my happy place. Helena seems like a great place, I have no friends that share my interests: crafting, watercolor or journals. Maxine

Good morning, Gayle!! It's so enjoyable to watch you collage. I've started collaging in the 2021 Medicare and You handbook. LOL The pages are a good size and a nice weight. It's so relaxing to put it all together. You inspire us all! Love ya!!!

Morning Gayle! Glad u had a good. Week ; )

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Bless your heart and Happy Belated Birthday! You truly had a lot going on for your special day and a whole lot more to look forward to. It is not a bad thing but overwhelming to be sure. Your collage work is lovely as always. Taking a break from journal making is needed from time to time. What you are doing is making your crafting supplies more manageable. Your next journal will be adorned with the wonderful makes on days like today. Rest well, eat right, drink plenty of water and have another dose or two of time in your husband's arms.

Happy scrappy Saturday gayle 😘

Good morning, Gayle🌻

Good morning!! Have a wonderful blessed weekend! Thanks for sharing!💕🎂💐happy Birthday 🎶🎉

Happy Saturday Gayle!!

Neuro graphic art?

Hello Gayle, What a great idea! So pleased you've had a fab birthday week! I haven't commented for awhile. Basically because I too become overwhelmed with life; our obligations, chores, family ....etc. You deserve happiness & fun. I was going to say that your school friend Sandra is overwhelmed as well. You said it, timing. I feel in time, when her obligations, & pressing home matters are addressed she will have mental, creative headspace. You're patient, she'll be smitten when she has space for creativity. She can incorporate her present hobbies into junk journalling. I'm going to be patient too & watch this space. Wow, all your August birthdays sounds mad!! And now. ..................BREATHE. Take care Gayle, Lot's of Love, Tay xx 🌈🌹

I had a thought when you mentioned sending out some journals, have you ever noticed if you’ve ever sold a journal to someone that wasn’t a subscriber or a patron, just someone who randomly found your journal on Etsy?

Hi Gayle, so sorry this is late, but blessings on your birthday 🎂 🥳. I do love your company a lot. I have learnt sich a lot from you. Thank you for sharing so much ofbyour time with us. ❣

Ahhh, collage is so therapeutic. I think my favourite was the very first one you did with all the text. I'm sorry your friend is not in the right space to avail of your journal enthusiasm. I can tell you were looking forward to a real life craft buddy. Perhaps she might enjoy some social crafting time with you when she needs a break from the rest of what she has going on, as a kind of art therapy. Perhaps work on little projects over time and then surprise her with a journal comprised on the things she did with you? If I was not living half a world away I'd be pestering you on the doorstep every day. "Come on Gayle. Let's go play in your craft room!" 😆

Happy happy birthday. So glad you had a nice day. Yes I get overwhelmed sometimes too. I am in awe of you putting yourself forward for the council position. I just couldn’t cope with all that. 3 days work and home is enough for me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, dear Gayle 🤗🎈🎵🎉🎼🍰!!

Good morning!🌹 Sitting here using up my collages to make specimen cards watching you making collages. My life has come a full circle 😅 Happy belated birthday 🎂

Can you remind me what you do with the used glue pages you have? I collaged on some and made pockets and belly bands. Anything else?

Sherry Walker

Hi Gayle, I love your channel! I am a bit new to collage, so I want to ask you about the ruler you are using. How is it different from any other ruler? 🙂

I am a new subscriber and new to junk journaling. When you make a pocket or tag out of the collaged piece, do you do more decorating to it, or is that then done? If you do decorate do you see any of the collage?

Oh boy can I relate to your friend and having to fix up her house. When Joe and I moved into our current house, which is 117 years old, it's never ending! But... you do get to a point where you can add other things into your super busy, incredibly full, life. I bet at that time, your friend will be so eager to learn a new craft. How sweet of you to continue to think of ways to give her that outlet! I was collaging last night, and fumbling so badly. Now I'm eager to get back in the craft room and give her another shot! ❤

Good Morning!

Does your hubby still make you an energy shake? I thought was so cool that he would hand deliver it to you. I think we still not use to be around people and going out and about. I stress out a bit even getting my hair cut or going out to dinner.

Happy belated birthday to you. I have had the dreaded “C” word this past week so missed it. 🎂🎁🎉

Happy belated birthday Gayle.God bless you!

🇨🇦🌺❤️🌼

❤️❤️❤️

Congrats on your appointment to the Board and Happy (belated) Birthday!! I find it interesting that all of my favorite crafters have birthdays in August: you, Diane H, Diane Shaw.... and me! In a happy coincidence, Diane Shaw and I share the same birthday! Have a great weekend. Love how your collages turned out, and really love the Florentine paper strips! ~ Marci, your next door neighbor in Idaho💖(And yes, it's too darned hot here! We're going to float the river for my birthday, can't wait!) 🌊☺🎂🎈

What do you do with these master boards?

Hello Gayle Happy Saturday🌸 Great work scrappy! Big hug Lina

My gosh I can watch you for hours Gayle! Scrappy Saturdays has to be my favorite of your topics! Hugz and have a wonderful Sunday! 💖

Hi Gayle😊 Can't sleep, thank for the company 🤗💕

Happy belated birthday to you ! 🎈

I want to say Happy Birthday again glad you had a great day.

Collaging on a Scrappy Saturday is just the BEST!! Have a wonderful weekend!! ❤🤗

Happy belated birthday Gayle from France. I live approx 50 kilometres from Saint Junien, really pleased to see the label of it. Merci. xx

Good morning Gayle!!! Yay...scrappy Saturday, love watching you collage. 😁 All of these turned out so pretty. You are so right...there's not enough time in the day. I used to laugh at people who retired before me saying they were busier in retirement. It's so true!!! 🤣 But I treasure every moment I get in my craft shed and thankful I don't have the long commute anymore. Have an awesome day...💜

Collage Day? Yes please! As to the weather, we'll it's currently 59° with an expected high of 67 today, and it is raining. Needless to say it is an indoor flannel, crafting day!!!!

I love to watch you collage. It's so fun & it's like you really get a lot accomplished. Glad you had a great bday with Mike. Not many couples these days seem to want to spend time that way. Nice to hear there's still some of us around!! God bless you two.

Happy belated birthday 🎂

When I collage I end up overthinking and spend too much time doing the collage. I also am very up and down oriented. Like to see your thought process.

It would be cute to add little parts of the florintine paper or labels on the writing side too. Just to tie them together here and there. Not big pieces. Maybe like one label cut into 6 parts to just have a little pop here or there? Could be cute and add a little more interest to the other side

I loved watching this. So relaxing & inspiring. TFS 😊✂📄

Thanks for the lovely video, I just got back last night from a few days away at the beach and talk about being overwhelmed! It’s fun to go way but then it is so great to get back home to your normal routine!

Do you spray a fixative over it?

Happy belated birthday

Yummy scrappiness today! Your birthday sounds like it was the best! Have a blessed day!

I watched “Woman in Gold” last night and really enjoyed it- thanks for the recommendation!

I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs

Good morning Gayle! I love scrappy collage day!!!

Good Morning Gayle. Happy belated Birthday. 🎂🎉🥳 Love me some Scrappy Saturday 💖💖

Question: the clear like see through ,people use does it come from Amazon’s, or Etsy or free in mail? I have tried to find it however, not being successful. I think cori use some to sandwich flowers. Any ideas?

That’s what I often do, leave the mess 😊

Good morning, Gayle! Happy Scrappy Saturday! I hope it is filled with lots of sunshine ☀ and joy! Hugs! Sue ♥

Good morning Gayle, Yay, got my scraps ready. Let have us some collaging. Thank you for telling us the movie was great. I too hesitate seeing a movie based on a book I have read. The book was so good I do not want to be disappointed. 💕

Saturday Funday Gayle😂🥰

Good morning Gayle. I watched the movie woman in gold on your recommendation. It was an excellent movie . Thank you

Good morning Gayle 💜 Happy Scrappy Saturday 🎉

Good morning, Gayle! I am glad you are having such a great birthday week. I was working on collaging the neutral sides in my collage book. Where DO all these scraps come from?
