What is a Glue Book? My Opinion 

Hahahahahahaa! Ceri I laughed so hard at your comment about not doing the high note😂 You’re too funny! Thank you so much for your kind words about me, I really appreciate it❤ This is a wonderful video, great explanations, and I think this will help so many. Glue Books are so fun, relaxing and a great way to express your creativity. They are a fun activity for all ages and all levels of crafters.

This is the most inspirational video I have seen in a very long time. It's 10 pm and I want to stay up all night starting a glue book. I am so excited I can't stand it. Your books are beautiful. The things you put together as theme pages are things I never would have thought to consider (toilets and showers?? But it's gorgeous!). I am SO happy I found your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.

Gluebooking has been such an amazing way for me to be creative without the cost normally associated to crafting. It cost me nothing to get started, and has been a lot of fun. 😊

So intriguing! Couldn't sleep and ( like another commenter) I wanted to get outta bed and gather those magazines and images I just can't part with and start a book! So creative to focus on either colors or theme!!! LOVE your books AND that the pages don't have to be "finished" - TFS!

Dear Professor Ceri, thank you for illuminating and clarifying the topic of glue books. You have cleared up this debacle to my satisfaction to the point where I am now inspired to make use of the several composition books and spiral bound notebooks in my stash; in fact, i have already succeeded in covering a composition book and a spiral notebook this afternoon! You are a wonderful teacher! I am grateful! Deb. From Monterey

Hi Ceri, thanks so much for this video. I love Margarete and I love Nicole too! This video has helped me make up my mind about a whether or not to start a glue book and how I would do it - yes, I will be starting and more than likely more than one kind. Your explanation of why you glue into each of your books has freed my mind and enabled me to make my own plans for glue booking - off to my studio I go to get my books and glue sticks out! Jacquie

I love all your glue books. The colour one YES! The last one especially with the pictures that inspired you YES! I have one of Christmas incorporating the best Xmas cards and images, one with cute animal, sea themed ones and birthday one. The cards end up tuck spots for photo. It’s a wonderful, carefree hobby with no stress. Just joy and basically, free. 🙏🏼🥰

I totally agree with your opinion on Nicole. She gets me to giggle as I am being inspired. I love the “random “ book you are working on! The theme idea gives me something else to think about and use in one of my glue books. Thank you!

I really like this idea of focusing on colors without having to create a unified “story”! It’s a great way to utilize images that are visually appealing just by virtue of color! Also love the idea of unifying images based on some concept that is personally meaningful to you!

I love this video, which I watched this evening as I worked on a glue book of my own.. You have a wonderful eye for combining images in a way that highlights something interesting about them--the color, the light, the theme, whatever. I really enjoyed seeing your pages. Also, since most of my family think it is extremely weird of me to enjoy making glue books and junk journals, it's always a pleasure to see someone else who GETS IT, who sees the joy in this type of creativity. Very happy to have discovered your channel, and look forward to watching many more videos!

Ceri I've said it over and over; I am so inspired by your creativity. Thank you for letting us have a peak at your "gluebook". It's amazing as is everything you craft.😊

When I was a child my mum made me a scrapbook from brown paper, so I could stick newspaper cuttings in from the Queens silver jubilee. 😊 fast forward to today and I make journals from junk mail and stick whatever I want into them. Im not an artist and my glue books are nothing like yours but thats ok. I enjoy doing what i do, it keeps my hands and brain busy.😊😊 And my husband and kids support me by giving me things they think I will find interesting and can stick in my books. 😂 Thank you for all that you do and see you in the next video. ❤❤xx

Thank you Ceri. I'm so happy I found you. You have given me so many ideas. I love your style! You are so generous to share so many brilliant ideas!

Love your explanations of the different kinds of glue books… I’d not heard the term until I watched others of your videos where you were using the book pages to spread glue on items, and mentioned people wanted you to do a flick through your glue books 🤔 I wondered why they would want to see a book of pages folded in half! 😂 … and you folded and tore off each page as it was sticky… I was a bit confused. Not any more 😊 Thank you x

Thank you Ceri for caring enough to answer our questions. You sir inspire me. I'm so glad you mentioned that we don't have to always finish things; that we can always go back to it as things come along.

This is very inspirational to me. I love to do collage and I will use your ideas to enjoy myself with paper, glue pictures. I had a picture of a large pink, peeled grapefruit half and I used it as a cloud floating above a city, with a woman sitting on the pink grapefruit "cloud" & she wears a very green succulent skirt.

What an inspiration you are to watch. Your talent is extraordinary. I love all the pictures you chose for your glue book. Thanks for always sharing from the heart.

I really enjoy your videos. I love your personality and detailed explanations, and I've learned that not everything has to have a purpose other than to be pleasing to the one creating. Big lesson.

This video is so charming to me! I LOVED EVERY MINUTE! THANK YOU CERI

Thank you for the excellent, thorough description of what a glue book is or can be. Most interesting, something I haven't done but could easily see myself making one. I have removed pages of magazines years and years ago of things I wanted to keep (ideas etc) and putting them into a glue book would work nicely. Thank you again for sparking inspiration and helping me to understand glue books.

So clever and enjoyable! Your glue books are fascinating. I intend to put one together for my great grandchildren. All under age 5 at this point. As a young child growing up i always enjoyed the Sears Catalog, so many objects to gaze upon, dream about, or learn from too. Thank you so much for putting this video out for all of us to get inspired.

Oh that little planner is so cute!

Somehow, I missed this video the first time around. Gluebooks are amazing and the term so broad. Your examples are beautiful. Like you, I can't do true random like Nicole. My "randoms" always go to some kind of theme. Whatever, it makes me happy. Thanks for sharing, Ceri 😊

Thanks for sharing your thought process with gluebooks!!!! Love your style in crafting. ❤

Thank you for the well informed video! I absolutely love your random glue book and I am totally inspired to start one. I really enjoyed seeing what you made and I am amazed at your creativity. I totally agree! I love Nicole’s videos and am so inspired by her! She has the best personality and does such creative things! Not only does she inspire and motivate me, but she always makes me laugh through her videos, which I enjoy and need! Thank you for the video!

Love you glue books. I made one from an old catalogue following one of Nicole’s videos. I have started doing monthly spreads in it, although I am very behind!

I love the concept of your last book. I did Margarite Miller for a year and I learned a lot, but I am not very happy following rules. I make junk journals with specific topics and in my style, but I find lots of images that I love that won't work in journals in my genre and subjects. Your book with spreads on many topics will work perfectly for me. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Ceri.Very helpful ❤.

So glad to see a man doing this. All the others I have seen are ladies. It is nice to see what a man's mind of interest for glue booking would be. I especially live your discovery page, made me think discover your inner joy. New to returning to glue booking and I am from it discovering my inner joy.

I'm so glad you did a flip through. You know, I always feel guilty when I'm taking time for my gluebook. It probably is because I should do more housekeeping or usefull things. But you see, because of your video, I will allow myself to enjoy putting beautiful images in my book wich I allready started when I was a kid. So thank you so much again Ceri.

Always inspiring when you open up your work to us. Thank you

Thank you for sharing about Glue books. Enjoyed the whole segment! Yet, another rabbit hole I can see myself falling into! You got me started on Gelli pages recently. Have had hours of trying to find the things needed to begin the fun process. You can really inspire a person (this person) to try something new! Thank you!

Wonderful clear explanation and beautiful glue books. Very inspirational ❤

Oh my goodness I love your gluebooks and the inspiration it evokes!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌈🦋💗😻

Thank you Ceri that made things alot clearer to me. I am going to make a glue book as you have inspired me.❤❤❤

Hi Ceri…nice to see you… love your channel!!! Thanks for info!

26:48 The castle is the Neuschwanstein which is in Bavaria. It was commissioned to be built by King Ludwig II. His castles are absolutely amazing! I was able to tour three of them when I lived in Germany, and I will never forget the experience. I love that you've included this in your glue book. I plan to create a travel journal and include some of the photos I took of the area, the castles, etc, and some of the pamphlets and post cards I bought while there. If ever you get the opportunity you should go visit!

This video is wonderful! It's so inspiring and I just love seeing how you put your glue books together. You have such a wonderful eye for use of images and color. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤

I’ve only just found you and this video has inspired me so much! Can’t wait to see more of your videos 😃

💜💜💜 very fascinating - I love your thought process in creating! Thank you!

Ceri, as always love your videos. Thank you for sharing your creativity and the explanation of gluebook. So many ideas. Thank you

Very helpful. Thanks Ceri.

These are so fun! I love seeing your books! Very inspirational!

Oh my goodness Ceri! These are fabulous and thank you so much for sharing and inspiring.❤

This has been wonderful. Love your gluebooks. Super amazing. Thanks for sharing 😊

Your video helped me to understand better what a glue book is. I really enjoyed watching the flip throughs and your explanations. Thanks for sharing.

So glad you shared. So inspirational. Love everything you showed us. 😊

Ceri, I really enjoyed this video!! You have inspired me SO much. That last one with the larger pages.... Oh My Heavens! And the story behind each spread! I love them!! Thank you so much for sharing! Thoroughly enjoyed and can't wait to start! 💜💜💜

Love the progress you've made in your glue books. I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs to you and Biscuit. 🦮

I love Nicole, she’s so friendly, fun and supportive ❤

Wow Ceri, what an inspirational video this is!!! Thank you so much. I cannot wait to start gluing!!!! 😊

Thank you. As always , inspirational and informative.

I think your clarification should help a lot of people and sending them to Nicole will too. Your color book is so well done and I LOVE your "themed" glue book too.

Well that is amazing, I just love how your mind works. These books are so delightful! You have given me an idea, I found this little book at the thrift store last year and I love quite a few of the images, so now I know what I will do with them to be able to enjoy them. Thanks!!!

Ceri what a joy to see inside your glue books. Never thought I’d make one myself but by golly you’ve changed my thinking!!!😀

You make me smile. Sundays are blue days for me. I still miss My John, my husband, and Sundays were wonderful days for us. He was from Somerset. Just saying. Anyway, thank you for giving me smiles today. You are a joy.

Nice explanations. I love Nicole's videos. Have done lots of glue books with all different themes. It's relaxing for me to glue things down.

I SO enjoyed the journey through your various books, and the treat of hearing your thoughts & explanations of what you created in the various books & why. I also appreciated how you support your various inspirations & people who inspire you, very generous thing to do and not much done in the videos I have seen. I commend you for sharing your thoughts & inspiration, and for being brave & opening your creations to share in their various states of creation. Well done!

Just what I needed !!! Omg...thank you !!!💕💕

This was so interesting, I tend to call them 'glueing on books' so to not confuse them them with the actual gluebook. I loved your random gluebook idea that is a very inspiring gluebook and loved what themes you chose... Oh dear another gluebook to add to my list for me to make... Ha ha thank you Ceri 😊😊Elaine 🌼

Thanks so much, this makes sense to me. And now I understand what a glue book is. I am new to what I call, art journaling. I'm now anxious to try these types of glue books, especially your colour glue book and the last one you shared with us. I found it very pleasing to look at and that is what I want to accomplish. Thank you so much. Now to go and watch Nicole's videos. (lol) I also use a glue book/page for gluing, so much better than try to fine a piece of paper and try not to get glue all over my work surface. I got the inspiration from you. Thanks again!

Well done Ceri! Love your books too 🥰

Love seeing your books and great ideas 💡. Thanks for sharing

Relax cut GLuuuuue! Love watching Nicole. Your glue books are so very neat and tidy and my brain LOVES that. However I'm not so neat and tidy lol

Excellent! Glad you cleared that up😊

Wow! I am blown away! I had no idea that there was so much more to a glue book other than using it to apply glue to a piece so your area doesnt get messy. I didnt pay much attention to this as i use a teflon sheet to do my gluing on as it is reusable. You have expanded my knowledge base yet again Ceri. I love the idea of making an inspirational gluebook from a composition book for colorways

Ceri thank you for your explanation of glue books and you beautiful examples.

Beautifully explained, love all the books, I think I am going to start one now..

Wonderful explanation Ceri... and love the results.... You totally inspired me!

Thank you so much for this video. I wasn’t especially confused about glue books, BUT I was excited to have you suggest Nicole’s channel! ❤ thank you for keeping us newbies in mind, we are looking for ideas across the board 😊

So cool & loved your wisdom in this! Thx for inspiring me !

Great video even for someone who isn't into glue books - yet. Maybe this is the inspiration to get me started. Your videos are very instructional and fun to watch. As a fairly new subscriber, i have learned a lot and look forward to seeing more.

I started my gluebooks after finding Nicole's channel. I love yours! ❤

Great video as always! Love all your glue books! Gorgeous pages! Love and hugs, my friend! ❤

hi, I've only just found your channel... I love it. I love it, you explain things so well, I'm a complete novice with journaling, but this is AMAZING, it's just my thing. thank you so much Ceri, I will be an avid viewer from now on. thank you, xx👍👍🥰

Beautiful books and a great explanation ❤❤❤

Hi Kelly! Always fun watching you Love the strawberry paper too

I loved your glue book Ceri, you are a true artist, everything you do is so beautiful. I just started a new glue book today, my first image that just made me laugh so much was this man holding this pink fluffy, it was called a comfortable stool, of course it was an add for laxatives but the way it was done it was just so funny I thought I have to start my book, out of context of the add it doesn't sound funny but it just made me smile at the thought of someone having a sense of humour when they created that ad. You have given me such inspiration for my glue book, thank you Ceri.

I really enjoy watching your videos. You have given me inspiration. I like your glue books. I watched Nicole's page. I seen the coffee gluebook she made. My favorite. Thank you. ☕

I wanted to do the color glue book and got busy. I will absolutely get one started. Thanks for sharing Ceri. Your glue books are awesome. I really like your themes in the big one. The Iris page is stunning. 💙🦋

Wow; that was incredible. Thank you for sharing. I did know the difference between gluing books and glue books, but now I also know about Gluebooks! Fascinating

I love this!! I tend to make things for other people and very little for myself. This is a great way to make something for myself that I can enjoy. Thank you!

Love this video. I love your inspiration and cheering us on to glue. Love the Scottish page. I went to my local thrift shop to find an old book to use as glue pages. Now I’ll be looking for magazines and catalogs. You’re so much fun! Vicki from Oklahoma.

Hey Ceri ... Loved this video. Thank you for sharing with us.

Those are beautiful!

How fun and interesting. I may have a go. I especially like that you have so much variety, with styles of glue books. So great to keep the imagination going with loads of inspiration. Well done!

I just love your glue books. I actually made your travelers notebook. Breaking the page is difficult at times. You inspire me ❤❤❤

So darned inspiring. Your explanation is spot on. You have inspired me to make some Glue Books. I have been collecting images for the past 12 months and they have sat in boxes as I haven’t known what to do with them. Now I have a starting point thanks to you. Yeah! 👍🤓😝

Fantastic!! Very inspiring. I'm starting a new glue book now, and like you suggested, I'm going to place a whole background down (NOT collaged), and then go from there. It might be kind of challenging, too, to match the colors or theme or whatever. Like you also said, it's ongoing, so sometimes you have to wait to find what needs to go there. LOVE the stripes! Going to start with that, I think. By the way, I looked up "famous staircases" and it said the one in your book is from a Vatican museum in Rome! Amazing image. As always, thank you for sharing your thought processes! :)

Love the idea of a colour glue book. By the way to avoid confusion I call my table saver a glueing book not a glue book. I’m going to have four categories, glueing, colour glue, collage and a general scrapbook British style. I even have one left over from when I was a kid made of coloured sugar paper. ❤❤❤ thanks for the videos.

Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful ideas and processes! I enjoy your sense of humor, as well. I just purchased volume one of Margrete's Collage Weekly Planner and am working on week one! I love the first book you shared of "ideas" and things to keep.

Love this! I am a newbie and appreciate the explanation.

As always, this was very informative. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing video! This makes me feel motivated to jump back into creating after a long dry spell ❤❤

Those are beautiful. Loved watching this video. TFS

Thank you! I enjoyed your video! I like that you are sharing your glue book that you are working on.

Fabulous, and inspirational. Thank you so much. Now, off to visit Nicole

So interesting and thank you for the explanation.

Thank you for the beautiful description of glue books. Yours are amazing. I do believe I’ll have a go of it Thanks again ❤️

I love your idea of putting down a colored whole page background and then the images in that color- brilliant are you. The filling of ridges is a problem for me as well. Thanks!
