Start to Finish! - Mistletoe & Holly Journal Part 4 - Laces & Ephemera! 

Btw, one of my favorite sayings, that I’ve now taught my kids and grandkids, is, “if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry” 😂❤

I never mind if you go over on time, Gayle, I could watch you craft for hours. Sometimes I save up on videos to watch more at once

Hey Gayle, when you don't eat until noon every day it's not called fasting, it's called habit. I'm loving this journal!! It's so prettiful! An exclamation from my granddaughter.💖💖

I just heard yesterday that Chris Hemsworth found out he has the gene (or something) that can cause early-onset dementia. He has put his acting career on hold to spend time with his family in case that actually happens. So bravo to him even though it might not happen as he knows what's more precious.

Talk about anything you want we enjoy being part of the process and life. You make me smile every video.

I love Cheri's pockets, everything turned out beautiful. "Get the Lead Out", Ho-Ho-Ho says sergeant Gayle to the construction Guys!!! 😅💗🕉️🐞

This journal is one of my favorites of all your journals! It is is stunning!

I can’t get over how pretty the paper is! Hopefully the contractor is there when it warms up a bit…

I'm having a day of catching up on my Gayle-watch. 😊 Never apologise to us, sweet Gayle - I know I love hearing what is going on in your life, and I think your singing voice is sweet. Love watching you perform your magic. 🥰

Oh Gayle, I love the Blue Fern paper collections too. Jennifer Bishop is amazing. Love your tags, ephemera and the placement of your lace.

You are definitely not the only one that’s going through all those pin toppers for their glue bottle. I’ve gone through so many that I finally gave up and now I use a pin because they just bend too easily. They definitely aren’t as strong as a regular pin.

This paper is so beautiful and this journal is incredible! ❤️❤️❤️.

This journal is so pretty the laces really bring it all together. Thanks for sharing 💕🌴

Our Aussie actors are very easy on the eye. Chris’ brother Liam is another handsome dude. We are the lucky country lol. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Those lace trims are so Beautiful!

This journal is gorgeous Gayle. Just like you xx

There isn't anything wrong with trying something and finding out that it is not exactly right for your paper. Looks like you will be able to save this pocket!!! Great job. I could tell you were really struggling with Blue Ferns beautiful paper. Thank you for the wonderful video today💖🤶💖🎅💖

Slumberland with Jason Momoa is really cute. And not a bad view either.

Hi gayle!! I am getting motivated for Christmas creating (on my last week of my last summer break) and when I heard you say "oh for crying in a bucket" I broke out in a giggle because nobody out here in the Hoosier state had ever heard that before!! Counting down, 11 months until I finish up 30 years of teaching!! Looking forward to doing a lot more creating in my craft room!! Hugs always, Leslie

Gayle can I make a suggestion for a future circle cut pocket, first cut a 9.5” square of card and then score your folds, then cut it into a circle. Might help.

Stunning as always, Gayle ❤❤❤

that lace is everything!!!

That is a really pretty journal! I love this one!!

I really enjoy your videos where you just create decorate and create. Thanks for sharing ❤

The beautiful laces make this journal even more gorgeous!! This video was brought to you by: "Get the lead out"...hee hee!! ✏🤭 (wondering if contractors have ever heard of it!? I can so relate 😉) LOVE & HUGS 🤗❤🤗

Your Blue Fern journal is looking amazing. All those laces is gorgeous. Sorry your contractor guy didn't show up, I guess they are kinda like painters, work one day and take 3 days off. So frustrating but I can't imagine working in 3 degree weather. It was in the 50's today and that is cold for us but back to 70 tomorrow.

Hi Gayle! Amazing journal. You go ahead and sing anytime you feel it!🎶🎶😊Hugs

❤ its so good to see those little pockets used in an actual journal. Thank you ❤

Love Jen’s papers they look so pretty folded into Ceri’s pockets. I just love watching you create Christmas ephemera. It’s calming and the prettiness is wonderful. Plus your voice is calming and comforting. So makes for a lovely video 😊❤

This is so beautiful

Love all this yumminess! ❤️ This journal will be so beautiful! I love it! ❤️ When my Art Glitter Glue bottle gets very low, I clean out the tip in hot running water. I never use a new full bottle of the Glue. For some reason, a full bottle always but always leaks on me. So my solution is to fill my trusty old bottle half full, then it doesn't leak, but it's better just because I took the time to clean the tip. Maybe I'm the only person that has that happen, but just in case another soul out there has that same problem, that's my solution/work around. TFS this start to finish!

Hi sis! Love watching your version of the Blue Fern Journal that you are making! It is really gorgeous! So amazing how each of us creates totally different things with the same papers and bits, so fun! Can’t wait to see what you do next! Love you! ❤️

Gayle, I have to say that this Blue Fern JJ is one of two of my fairies you’ve made in that line. The other, I think, was called Bird Waltz with the birdcage on the cover. Tomorrow, I plan to tune in to your Mixed Media Monday. Wishing you and Mike the best. Be well. 💕💕

This journal is so pretty Gail. Your lace choices are gorgeous. I have never seen anything like them. Oh your ideas book ...sighhh ( with appreciation of gorgeousness)...how creative and inspiring. Tfs 🙂

Hello Gayle, I love watching the embellishing of journals, and yours was fun to watch, so pretty. TFS

Hemsworth is a quite a treat 😉

Thanks for sharing. Happy crafting on a budget 💲. Happy everything on a budget💲. See👁 you in the next 🎥 and on the flipside. 👼🌹

Well done!! Love this journal and your videos are fantastic! Thank you for sharing your craft.

Beautiful journal and laces.

Absolutely beautiful as always, Thanks for sharing!🤗💕🌻💜

Hi Gayle 😍 That journal is already gorgeous! I can't wait until its finished! Those BF papers are just beautiful! Your excitement made me laugh today 😋😀

Good Sunday morning, Gayle ☕️🎅🏼❤️🎄

Gorgeous journal love the laces

Good morning sweetie! Loving this series! Theses papers are so gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! Blessings! 💕

Hi Gayle, this journal is so lovely so far, The lace is gorgeous, Hugs. Maggie 🎄❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️🎄

Gayle, this is beautiful. I love the direction this journal is going. Stunning.

Hi Gayle🤗 This is a gorgeous journal and I'm always afraid of using double sided paper, you rocked it. 💕

Good morning, Gayle! I want to get this kit so bad after watching you work with it.. Looks like so much fun! Your right too, the colors work with the Vintage Photo so well! Love that vintage, old world style! 😁👍💖

Happy Sunday beautiful Friend! Hugs 🤗

Good morning Gayle!! Hi & hugs my friend...🥰 Beautiful laces on the pages, looks so elegant. This journal is just gorgeous. Have an awesome Sunday....💙💚💙💚

Good Afternoon Gayle! Beautiful journal, love the lace. Enjoy your Sunday and see you on Mix Media Monday. 👍🎄

Good morning Gayle. Love all the laces you have used. Hugs. 💕

"He's not bad to spend an hour with." (Re: Chris Hemsworth.) That gave me a chuckle. And you are correct. I hope you have a superb Sunday. Love&hugs

I LOVE my grateful sweatshirt!❤️ But it's SO cuddly warm that I can't wear it if I'm at all active. 😄 If I lived alone, I would keep the house at 62 & wear cuddly clothes, but no one else seems to like that temperature. Go figure. 🤷‍♂️

Pretty, pretty ephemera Gayle!

Gorgeous papers and laces. It'd be hard for me to pick out which one to use in a journal. Great video as always!

So beautiful ❤

Gayle what a lovely journal from Carol in the uk 🇬🇧

Good morning Gayle 💜

Good morning ❤ I love this journal so much. It’s a beautiful paper pad. Guess I’ll put it on my wish list

Happy Sunday afternoon gayle 😘

"Get the lead out!"

Good Morning Gayle. 💖💖

I agree, this is one of my favorite journals as well. It's sooo perfect. Happy weekend, Gayle and Mike. 🎄

This journal is already so full of lusciousness! There was a lot of anticipation waiting for this journal and now that it's coming together it's actually very exciting!! Thanks for doing the start to finish.

This is my favorite part of any journal-adding lace and embellishments. This is a beautiful journal. But I told myself I need to use at least one of my 3 or 4 drawers full of Christmas things first.

Hi Gayle ❤

I always love watching your vidoes; i never get to purc hase one tho. lol

Hi Gayle, I laughed with you when you bent that glue topper. I did that with everyone that I have had. I am back to using the one little pin that comes with the glue. I stick the pin into a piece of styrofoam so I don’t lose it. I have to admit that I have a large store of pins on hand just in case. By the way, would it help to use your score board to get the circle pockets even on the sides and not tear when folding them up? Anyway have a nice day. I was excited when you liked my tag yesterday.

This is one of my favorite journals you've made! I LOVE all the lace. RE: series on Netflix... We never liked reading subtitles for foreign films, but the series called "Call My Agent" is really very well done. It's rumored there's an American version coming, too.

the Hoppers 9/27/22 Merry Christmas

🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄

Good & Blessed Sunday Gayle! That lace is yummy on the edges of the journal pages! The circle pocket looks beautiful can’t wait to see it completed! Thank you for sharing 💖 You probably already know this about contracts, but always add “time is of the essence “ jobs with that added requirement usually takes priority ( my dad is a contractor lol) Hugzz

I absolutely love this journal 😍

Gayle, Love this beautiful journal. I learned a lot…… I’m really hoping someone dependable comes to finish your house. 🏠

Hey there Gayle. I’m watching this in the afternoon because Sundays are my church day. However, I try never to miss your videos. This journal gets more and more yummy-er with each addition. I love it!!

Ooooo…this journal gets more yummy with every addition! Loved the laces added today. ❤️ So sorry the pocket at the end was a struggle with the thick paper. I’m sure you will salvage it with no problem. You might want to consider using the guide lines on your mat to help folds come out even. 😉 Even folds are a struggle for me. Have a blessed day!

👍😁🎄

Do you have a playlist for the idea book? This album is so gorgeous!

Wouldn't it be advantages to put the ephemera for the journal in a shallow tray to avoid the crinkle bag! You could see each item better.

Hi Gayle can you provide a link for the sugar belle bottle caps

❄️🇨🇦❤️🎄

I started singing blue christmas right along with you in my much worse singing voice!

Is your idea book in a video ? Would love to do something like this. I’m seriously need some Blue Fern products in my stash

Do you ever use wax seals in your art?
