Viewer Request! - How I Use Glue Book Pages! 

The first time I saw a crafter use a “glue book,” I was horrified! I hardly have any book pages; they’re like gold to me! 😳😜 so I really appreciate your taking the time to show me what happens to the discarded pages. I feel much better knowing they happily live on as something beautiful. ❤

As an old boyfriend used to say, “you’re never a fool till you stop asking questions”. Great reminder for all of us. As always, thanks for sharing.

As one of the "new people" I appreciate how you take your time to explain in detail. Thank you.

Thank you to the viewer who requested this topic! Gayle, I’ve been following you for a few years now and still love episodes like this. You are such an inspiration to all crafters, newbies to the most experienced crafters, and this video is no exception! Such fun! ❤

Gayle, your self talk cracks me up..."I'm working here right by myself." I enjoy your channel so much with your quirkiness and creativity. Thanks for sharing bits of you!

Thanks for hanging out with me while we drove to the aquarium with family. Love it all!! ❤🐞

In addition to what Gayle has shown, I put my glue pages on top of one another until I have about 4 stuck together really good. I use my circle punches and make the little buttons for coin pockets, faux buttons, faux wax seals for envelopes, and I sometimes use the circles the way whale tales are used as tag pulls. I use them for excess paint depositories, too. “Painty papers” have any number of uses! I love, love, love the look of book pages used in any way. They’re neutral so they look good with just about anything.

Yet another episode of raking some utilitarian and turning it into beautiful, cute, scrummy pieces of usefulness. I am always learning from you, which is why I have a bin of folded glue pages sitting behind me on the shelf ready for inspiration such as this. Thank you, sweet Gayle. ❤ Belinda xxx

I love how you are so willing and kind to take us back to the basics. Newbies are so fortunate if and when they watch your videos. I’ve only been making journals for about a year, but I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks for all you do, Gayle. Stay warm. It’s going to be in the 90’s this week. 😮

Brilliant Gayle... it's like Spring training for Junk Journalers ❣~Sue

I consider this video as a gentle reminder to use what's at hand. They turned out so lovely, it makes us want to do them too 😁 We're due a cold day after a week of 70-80 degree weather, I would be happy to get back on track with 50-60 degree temps. It is only April. Poor Gaia is so confused. Or maybe it's just us, stuck in our ideas of what it should be. Maybe Gaia is like us and uses whatever is available, just to keep the world spinning. Sending you and Mike & Gaia Love & Hugs 🤗

You making things to help those just learning is such a blessing. It may help bring back some ideas for us that have been doing it for awhile. Thank you.

Morning Gayle! I thought about you yesterday while I was gluing stuff because you were the first person I ever saw use book innards for gluing on. But shame on me, I tossed the used pages into the trash. I know I know. 😮 I did feel guilty. So I'm heading down to the craftroom right now to retrieve them to make tags and belly bands. Thanks for the reminder that everything can be junk journal supplies and for the great ideas you shared today. Cheers from Denver CO!

This video was very timely for me. I just glued a bunch of things and was wondering what to do with the pages. You are the best!

Gayle, I have been watching you for a few years, and I am amazed at how clearly you explain things, and how many different creativities you function in I hope that makes sense. Thanks for being your delightfully fun self!

We can see it, and see it again. If we've seen it once, twice or 200 times, review is always good. We het new ideas from your idea fountain! TFS Gayle and hope you get some sunshine and warmer temps! Blessings!

Gayle, thanks for this video for the newbie JJ crafter. Always nice to welcome and help someone new to our community. When I first found you, I absorbed as much info as I could, hoping this was something I might enjoy doing. Now, years later, I have been able to gift a number of journals to friends or those I feel might enjoy them. Cards, too. (AND I follow your tutorials and am a diehard fan). In fact I will be doing 2 cards today, one for a friend going thru chemo and another for my chorus director’s birthday tomorrow. You are good people, Miss Gayle. Be well and craft on! 💕💕💕

Always good to revisit the things we all learned way back in the day!

Thank you for revisiting a basic skill to junk journaling. I always learn something new whatever you do! Maybe once a month you could do a “Back to Basic tip” for newbies. Just something to mull over. Lol Have a blessed day!

It was so kind of little Alfie to write a letter and say sorry about his messes. 😆😆😆

Good morning, Gayle! I don't know what we would do without glue pages! It's a great way to recycle and decorate! You taught that to me!

Even junk journaling for a while..a reminder is always good

I'm so glad that person asked because you have given me a few more ideas on what to make with glue book pages. I have used them for tags and journal cards but not the variations you have shown. Ihave been watching journal making videos for about a year now but only making them for about 6 months. Very helpful thanks. And I love Rachels printables too.😃

So glad you showed us what you do with those pages. I’ve watched for awhile, and often wondered how you use them. Genius.

Thank you for the reminder of what we can use our scraps for. Snowing here in the Midwest today.

Happy Sunday sis! Another sleepless night, so glad I have you to keep me company. Time to see what fun things we will be making! Have a blessed day! Love you sis! ❤

Thanks for reminding us of what to do with all those gluey, gooey pages. They build up fast.

Gayle, a great reminder for us to use our glue pages. All your ephemera turned out so lovely. Hopefully, Spring will arrive soon for ya'll.

I loved your ideas for using glue book pages, especially the bunny napkin and the sideways belly bands. 😊

Thank you so much for this video! I’m new to this type of crafting, junk journaling and such and appreciate all of the basics!

I’m very new to this and love making the junk journals but am always searching youtube for ideas to decorate with, so thank you for sharing your talents with us!

Thanks for taking us back to the basics, and reminding us what we can do with these pages. 💖 I think you taught that to me do these back in the day! I still go back and review your video's to get reminders - all the time! Great tutorial! TFS - Crafty Hugs, Christal

Thank you VERY much for reminding us how many things we can make from our glue book pages❤ hugs to you sweet Gayle!

A glue book is a must have tool in the journaling world. I couldn’t do anything without my glue book. 👍🥰♥️💕

I love watching you collaging & decorating... so inspirational ⚘

Great video and fun to revisit old friends. I had a great afternoon with my glue pages! Hugs ❤️

AWESOME video! Once I told my family I was interested in old books I received far too many from relatives who passed, library sales, and industrious decluttering. Some of the books are so old that they are brittle and crumble if folded. I'm still not sure what to do with those. But now I have an endless supply of backing materials thanks to your ideas!

Great job on the ephemera today. Always neat projects. TFS

You are the best with morning coffee. ❤❤❤

Great use of those pages, but I love the bunny-napkin journal card! 🥰

Another relaxing crafty “moment” with you, Gayle, is such a gift! Thank you, thank you!

Thank you for your video. I am new to the paper crafting. It’s great to pick up so many tips. Every video I watch I always pick up tips and ideas. . I’m so hooked .

great to watch even though I an oldy but just to hear your voice and review this process is lovely!🦌💌❤️📚

This is a great review, Gayle. I find myself saving them folded just as you have shown us. Thanks! 😊

I am a fairly new viewer to your channel and I LOVED this video! Thank you for sharing all the ideas with us newbies!

This was almost a "Forgotten friend" to me, I forgot all about those side/tag pockets ... loved this video ❤

This is so helpful! I struggle with what to do with those book pages! these are lovely.

I love how you use your glue book pages!❤

Hi Gayle. I have been watching your videos for a few months and wondered what those glue pages were used for. Thank you for the explanation and terrific examples of how to utilize them!😊

Thanks for the reminder Gayle…such lovely pieces!

Hi Gayle, nice to have an awesome video before I fall asleep, I always love it when you do glue book pages. 💕🦋💕

Good morning Gayle💕 Hope you had a fabulous weekend, we worked outside and I am exhausted. Awesome play with the book pages, love it! 🤗

Love watching you create! ❤❤

Good morning! Hope you have a wonderful day inside while it snows outdoors. Stay warm. ❤

Thank you for such a wonderful video !! I am new to junk journaling and love these ideas ❤️

Hello Gayle, Happy Sunday to you! I’ve been making ephemera for my granddaughters JJ and using book pages, TYFS it reminded me of one I forgot to make. Have a wonderful Sunday too. 👍🌸🌸🌸

Good morning Gayle, I’ve been doing since I first saw your videos! I have learned so many things from you! You are the best! Hope you have a wonderful day!🤗💜🌻💕

Love your ideas esp the dbl belly band idea. I'm doing that in my current project! Thx so much for inspiring me this morning! You're fabulous

I appreciate your input and videos 😊so very helpful and I ❤️the bunnies 🐰

Great to revisit these tips, Gayle! 😍❤

I enjoyed revisiting these ideas for transforming our glued-on pages into beautiful ephemera!! 🩵🦋🐦

Those double belly bands would be a great way to use your bigger cut outs/stickers that are hard to get rid of. Half on the top and half on the bottom.

Morning🌴, great video. I don’t have books to use so I use junk mail🤣😂. Just to glue on and then throw that away. It’s going in the trash anyways. It’s amazing how much junk you get even with paperless bills. Glue on the paper and use the envelope 🤣😂. Have a great day🌴❤️

Thank you. I am a beginner, and I love how you teach. You were recommended by Ceri the crafter. He thinks highly of you, and I can understand why. You are great. Thank you again

Great ideas for glue book pages! Thanks!!

Blessed Sunday Gayle! Very informative and instructive video! The first time I watched you use a book to glue on and tear off the gluey pages , fold and save each as you went along, I was 100% intrigued! I’m pretty sure I may have asked you about it as your new subbie did in the comments and you were sweet enough to answer and give me some ideas. Great big Thankies Gayle! ! It led to come up with some creative ideas too, you always inspire me my friend! Sometimes I stack a few of the glue folded pages together sew them together to make little books or little journals to add to a journal and use washi tape or scraps for the bindings. Thank you for always being such a creative influence! You are truly a jewel! 💖

I really, really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for the great ideas!!

I wasn’t aware you saved them, so happy to see how you use them! I was afraid all that book page was being thrown away 😢, now I’m happy 😊

Thanks for the refresher. Very informative.

Good morning! Doesn’t matter what you do, it’s still fun to watch you, fun to glean little tidbits. Have a great day🌻☕️❤️

Just love the way you put the pockets and tag’s together. Such a great eye for what goes together. So lovely. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I watch every day. I have made 3 books and am trying to introduce them in my area. Most of the people I show them to never heard of them. I just love making them but have not sold any.

Gayle. I'm not new here but I did like watching this segment of the glue book is always fun!

Always love your ideas!

Beautiful pieces!❤❤❤

I've never seen that sort of glue book before. Great idea, thanks for sharing.

Happy Sunday, loved the reminder of what you do with your glue pages!

Oh Gayle, I’m embarrassed to admit this! I’m fairly new to JJ 8/9 months, I have been throwing my glue pages away! I’ll definitely start saving them NOW! Thanks for sharing!

Good morning Gayle!! Love book page ephemera and yours turned out just beautiful! TFS! Have a wonderful day. 💖💕Hugs!!

Good morning Gayle💖 I’m so happy to watch using those pages. I don’t know how many I have as I tend to throw them away. 🤗💕🦋

Sadly I have been throwing my glue book pages away, but having seen this, I will keep them. Thank you for sharing this Gayle.

Good morning! I’ve never used a glue book. Loving all your suggestions and wonderful ideas! Tfs! Blessings dear! Spring will come! Lol! 💕 Enjoyed my weekend here in Helena. It went way too fast!

Happy Sunday morning sweet Gayle! I hope you have a fabulous day xoxo hugs ❤

Good afternoon Gayle 😊. I think it’s a good idea to show newbies as I for one get stuck with projects and this video helped a lot. Still not able to do any crafts as I had 🤚 hand surgery two weeks ago. Get my cast off Tuesday, yeah!!! 🎉. ❤ and Hugs 🤗 Dee

Good morning Gayle!! Lots of great ideas for making ephemera. I use cheap dotted journals I bought years ago to glue on. Pages are very thin and didn't work for what I wanted at the time. But it works perfect to glue on!! 😂 Thanks for all the great ideas. Have an awesome Sunday...💜

Thank You, so much, Gayle!! Yes, I'm definitely a Newby, and love learning the journal world. I've scrapbooked for 20+ years, but crossing over! HA! This is awesome, andcso helpful. I had this stsck and you had said to save them. Glad I did! You rocked it, Gayle. Thanks again! ❤😊

Fabulous ideas!

Good morning sweet Gayle. I hope you have a superb Sunday. Love&hugs

You’ve become part of my morning routine. Now, where’s my coffee? Thanks Gayle❤

Thank you for cozy video! 😊 I was wondering, what is the difference in use between a paper trimmer and a guillotine?? Thinking of buying a small guillotine. Thank you for all the wonderful time you share with others! ❤🎉

Good morning Gayle thanks for the reminders❤ I glue on junk mail catalogs and recycle them. We have weather whiplash here in No. California too. Have a restful Sunday!

Good morning Gayle! 💕 I snapped up a huge shipping products catalog before it went in the trash at work which has lasted months as a glue-on book. I still have some old gluey book pages left over that need to be used. 😂 👍 Hope you are having a great Sunday! 💕

Thank you Gayle! I’m itching to get on and use the glue book pages I’ve saved now! Inspiring as always 😊 Have a fun and grateful day! Janine x

Hi Gayle, I am very new to all of this, this is very helpful to me. I don’t have access to all these beautiful paper that you use. Could you please list some of your resources. Thank you so so much. I love watching all you do.

Good morning, I love having breakfast with you 😊. The glue pages are beautiful, have a great day xx

I love this one. Thanks for thinking of the newbees.

Great project! Love all the ephemera.

I need to use a book, so I have some pages. I've been using magazines after I take what I want out of them. Love this video. Thanks for sharing.

Informative and creative! I have lots of ideas from you in my idea book! TFS🤗

Woke up this fine morning to see you! Loving you so much! I admit I've been throwing these glue pages away ugh Stacy Nell! Lol never again cuz you inspire me dear!

Very interesting! I’ve been putting the pages in the bin🤭. Would have loved a peep out your window to the snow!
