This journal is fabulous Gayle! Whoever thought of this double journal idea had a brainstorm! I have not seen it before. Thank you so much for showing us and you're doing a beautiful job! You're so creative & inspiring!!!! 💜
I keep a pad of paper on a little clipboard with a pen so I can write down things when that happens to me. I write down dreams too. I’m totally in love with this double journal. It might be my favorite. I know I have said that before, lol. Don’t tell me how many times. Hugs, treen 💕
Good Morning Gayle! Happy Sunday to you. Bright full journal cover, my daffodils and hyacinths are coming up, weather temps are in the 60’s today but rainy. Enjoy your day and happy crafting! 👍🍀🍀🍀
Gayle we had another ice storm overnight which knocked out the power. The poor pine trees were drooping down, heavily laden with ice. Shortly after mid morning the power came back on and I was able to watch your Sunday video. Yes!! I consider that a good day. I am very enthused with your work on the double journal. It will be an extra special one I think. Enjoy your Sunday watching sports and fussy cutting. Hugs.
I can't begin to tell you how much I love this journal. I keep thinking about what theme I will choose when I make mine, and I think it will be two contrasting things, like summer and winter, spring and fall, night and day, or Texas (my home state) and California, which has never felt like home although I have lived here for 55 of my 74 years. It will probably be the last one because I have so much ephemera from both locations. Thank you again for a great idea. I can't wait for the next episode of yours!
Hi Gayle! I have to tell you that the collage on this cover is just the prettiest I think I've ever seen! And I love the flap cover, the whole construction is just brilliant!! You are really "springing ahead" with this one! 😉 puns aside, this is such an awesome idea, I love it❣💕
Hi & hugs! Great idea. Made one Fri nite/Sat afternoon. Love colaging X1000. Re book signatures, just stand the book up & look down into the spine & you see the packets of signatures which were sewn in. Go to either the first or last page of a signature, pull on the book to try & open up the spine & clip the threads. I love pulling out signatures. Tx, Gayle.
I really like this one Gayle. Not only is it bright and cheerful, it is unique in its “type”. I’ve been having a real rough time the past few days, todays video cheered me up and reminded me Spring will be coming even if it will be late.
This double journal is amazing 😍 I'm going to make a couple but my first one will be for pen pals, then I will make one for gratitude and Bible scriptures. These would be great gift ideas for family and friends ☺️ thank you for sharing this idea ❤️
HI Gayle!!! The entire cover is just so HAPPY and CHEERFUL and definitely SPRING!! LOVE IT!! The front of the cover with that cute bunny is adorable!! I like your idea of 2 journals within one!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
I watch you making this and think of my granddaughter, but she is only going to be 6 this year. I might have to make her one and put it aside until she is older. She loves art also! I had thought of making her a art journal and just let her do the painting parts. I love this Gayle!
I just love how this is turning out. I have flowers blooming in my yard and a tree with bright yellow flowers on it. We had rain yesterday and I can see snow on my Mountain and sunshine and fluffy white clouds. It’s a beautiful day in Southern California. Have a nice day, Gayle.
This is such a cute journal. I just love it. I’m making one along with you. The colors are so springy! It took a little bit of folding and refolding but I finally got it. And I’m so glad. I,too, think I’ll make another. Thank you for sharing your creative juices.
Gayle this cover is just amazing!! I love how you collage 😍 I wish I could make mine look like it all goes together so easy like you do. This is turning out just gorgeous 😍😍 Hugs my friend 🤗❤️🤗
I find using a seam ripper handy for disemboweling books with sewn in signatures. I have one that is for overlock seams and one like your standard seam ripper. The little hook on the edge helps to get down into the little crannies and slice the threads. No matter the size of the book, I like to take apart any book that has sewn in signatures, more real estate and more options as how to use in journal. HTH!
Regarding taking books apart … i have found that a sewing stitch ripper (seam ripper?) is a wicked good tool. Pointy, sharp, and specifically designed to cut threads. 💕💕💕 watching you this am working on my current journal make. Next in line is one of these double signature Gayle inventions! 😀💕😀
Loving this journal. Already have a base cut to start a double journal as soon as I finish my current project, Your journal is looking stunning, Can't wait to get started on mine.
The journal is really lovely. You are so good at collage, hope that I can get better at it! I have my envelope ready and can hardly wait to try the double journal but I have two journals ahead of it (supposedly!!) so we shall see. Will be fun to see how you decorate yours.
Loving all of these ideas ! I remember the day’s of little golden books, I loved them all ! Thank you Gail for sharing so much of your artistic talent ❤️
I love this so much. 49 Dragonflies did an envelope flippity floppity pocket thing and I couldn't help myself - I've sewed journals into them whenever I make them. So I can't wait to do this version!
I’m totally gonna make one these covers, absolutely beautiful! Your collage work is so beautiful,Miss Gayle! I’ve learned a lot from your videos! Thank you 🤗🌻❤️💕
Talk amongst yourselves- you crack me up every time! I love the cover and the signatures are gorgeous 😍
I'm loving this journal cover and journal! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the shout out my friend. I love, love how this journal is coming along. Hugs, Amy💕

A seam ripper is a very smart idea and I probably have 6-8 of them in various places. LOL Thanks for the idea!
I love all the ideas! I’m adding that to my kit!
That’s what I use for cutting the signature threads also.
Loving this journal. Already have a base cut to start a double journal as soon as I finish my current project, Your journal is looking stunning, Can't wait to get started on mine.
Good afternoon ❤️
I am loving this series Gayle - makes me warm on these chilly pre-Spring Ohio days!
Very unique!
Good Morning Gayle. 💖💖
