If you put completely finished clusters in the book with removable glue, you wouldn't have to tear them out. You could just choose one, pull it off and place another in the space. Saves paper. I am going to make one. Great idea!
Pamela, that is the first thing that came to mind as Gayle started talking about the purpose of this project. I use Aleene’s Stick & Restick glue for other projects and believe this would work great! Otherwise, eventually, you’re going to run out of 12x12 papers to use for these books.
Gayle, you are right…this is GENIUS! However, please refer to Pamela Rennia’s comment (and my response) regarding using removable glue instead of craft glitter glue for completed clusters. That way, the books you’ve made are reusable! Love this project!
I kind of think the whole point of not using removable glue is that she wants the page she is gluing to to be the background for the clusters. That’s why those pages were chosen.
Hi Gail, it is a genius idea from Tina. I watched her videos last night. So glad to see you do your thing with it. I like this better than putting clusters on a strip and rolling up to store them. Now back to watching yours…..cyndi m.
These books will be very convenient and a fun way to take your clusters to retreats. Love your completed storage idea, so much easier to see and use. 👏🏽💜
This is a great idea, also if you have clusters already made they make repositionable glue sticks from scotch and Elmer's. You can put some on the back of the cluster and stick them on the pages like stickers until you want them, then peel them off add art glitter glue or glue stick and place them on the ephemera 😊
Absolute best part of this video? Seeing/hearing my beloved friend Gayle so excited about a concept that will work well for her! Love you my friend and thank you for letting me join you this morning. Happy, blessed Easter to you ❤
What a great idea. Not only to store the clusters, but also (like you said) to use them more, since you can see them better and much more easily. Thanks to Tina, and thanks to you, Gayle, for sharing Tina's idea with us!
These books will make great coffee table picture books to peruse for winters nights when mojo won’t go and inspiration needs a hit. These will be great entrepreneurs delights to sell in their shop in tact, like snippet rolls with a companion cluster book and a journal and some fat quarters. Oh the ideas are just fluttering. The options are endless: a Timmy People cluster book, a paper doll Victorian era cluster book, shabby chic roses cluster book, butterflies, etc… My house spouse has been in VA hospital for 2weeks with pneumonia and rehab this last week and these booklets would have made a guick grab n go crafting kit while I was visiting him. Thanks to you and Tina and Laurette for showing this encyclopedic visual system ❤😊
You may need a fall, holiday, spring and summer fabric books. And large geometric and a small geometric. I too love this idea! Tina is so creative! Hugs and kisses to everyone.
Yay!! So glad to see your take on this concept by Tina. It's really taken off. There are a bunch of people doing it with different little variations. 🙂💜 Oh my gosh!! When I was watching Tina I thought about your trays of clusters and how you have to dig through them to find the one you want to use. Can't wait to see your Clusters in their new home. ☺️💜
I'm going to use a tiny piece of double sided tape so I can just pop off the clusters as I need them. I've been looking for more efficient storage solutions for a long time. This fits the bill. Thanks! Gayle.
This is a great idea! Would love to try with something that would allow the book to be reused…..maybe a single glue dot to hold in place or temporary tape.
Love, love, your scrapy Sat. I watch Tina's channel, too. She's very creative. I need to make some of these for my clusters and flowers, as I have so many of them that are stored in ziplock bags in a box. I can only see the top ones and have to take all of them out of the bag to see them. 😊
Great idea. It’s great that you’ll be able to take them to retreats and use clusters to complete the retreat books. I liked the idea of repositionable tape runners, too. I found some of those in my stash. Thanks for sharing this idea.
Great video! Lots of folks are suggesting removable glue/ tape, but 😅I like yours and Tina’s ideas of just keep making more booklets! They’re fun to make and so satisfying to look through! 😊😊
I went and watch Tina’s video, what a wonderful idea, I work in many different colors and this would be helpful to pick the ones that go with other projects, I too have many projects in the works, plus I work full time in a elementary school and after work this is my stress relief. Thanks for your twist on this book.😊
I would just use ONE DOT of glue. It would hold without a cluster falling out. When they are all removed, the page would be mostly intact. I would rather spend making new things, not remaking something that I destroyed unnecessarily. Just my opinion. Even better would be a removable product!!! The papers you chose for your books are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
What a cool idea for your clusters.👍🏻😊 I do hope that you and your hubby both have a blessed rest of your Saturday and a wonderfully blessed Easter Sunday too. Hugs and love, Sue M (Clearwater, Florida)🥰❤️🫶🏻😘😎🙏❌⭕️
Hi Gayle, I love watching your videos, they inspire me, and you are a lovely person. I've been struggling with a rough depression, but I'm always lifted up by watching you. Thank you so much for being you, Tee
I think this is a wonderful idea and plan to start on books today. My personal adjustment is that when I decorate I think in terms of color so I will do one neutral book, one all pink, one all blue etc. to make my collection of clusters the most user friendly to me.
HI Gayle!! What an awesome idea Tina had!! This will make life/crafting so much easier!! Will have to check out Tina's video as well!! Happy Easter to you and Mike!! Hugs, Liz:)
This opens up a lot of ideas for storage of crafty things! No longer having to pilfer through a box looking for just the right one for the application. Congrats to you and of course, Tina!
These are excellent ideas! Someone in a facebook group suggested something similar with paper scraps straight on the page & build a book of masterboards. I've just almost gutted a book given away by a uni library ages ago. I'm going to do what you just did on the remaining pages of that book. I love the idea of some of our source materials becoming our storage!
I had put this on in the background while I was drawing. I was in and out of the room with doing stuff around the house. We got about 45 minutes in and I saw how pretty and organized it looks and decided to start the video over from the beginning to pay closer attention to what you're doing! What a pretty and tidy idea!! Thanks for sharing.
What an awesome idea. No more scraps sitting at the bottom of the tray or scrapbook paper sitting on your shelf gathering dust and more creative play time needed to make them. It wont be easy to cut into them though. I suppose we could make another book for the clusters that we can't bare to part with and call it "Treasured Clusters". I can't wait to see more of your cluster videos. I can sit and watch them for hours even though I don't make journals myself. I make greeting cards but don't actually watch many card making videos anymore. I love your creative style and fun loving nature. You are a true gem Gayle.
Good morning Gayle! I’m totally obsessed with this idea! I first saw it on Donna’s channel, Junk Journal Ideas by Donna (it showed up in my recommendations recently). She also was inspired by Tina. Donna added on a feature I thought was clever, an added storage part for the any loose clusters that were left over from a page after tearing off what she needed. I got so absorbed in the whole idea I got up out of bed after watching it and headed down to my craft room and got busy! Unfortunately my hubby woke up from all the racket from my sewing machine 😂. This is just a brilliant way to store our clusters and use up that scrapbooking paper/card stock that has been in my stash for more years then I even remember (some I inherited from my aunt) all I can say is Tina really used her noodle (as my dad would say) on this idea! And you and Donna gave all of us even more ideas for the clusters books/storage! Thank you Gayle! 💖
Great idea Tina! Thank you for sharing Gayle. I prefer to “see” what I have rather than “rummage” through supplies. I bet this system will work terrific for that process.
Great idea and so easy. I'm going to just tear my clusters off the page and remove any excess background paper. That way I won't have to worry about the page matching my clusters and can use my ugliest scrapbook paper. Plus it will be faster than having to cut around the clusters. The reason I like to make clusters ahead is so that I can grab them quickly. Putting my little twist on the way I remove the clusters will make this awesome idea work for me. I'm so glad you shared this. Thanks and hugs!!! 💜
That’s my plan for the fabric clusters too, so I put very little glue on them. I might try it with some of the paper ones too. I used scrapbook paper for the books that I’ve had for eons, so don’t care if I ruin it. Oh, and if a layer of the papers is gone, we can use it as a collage base! So fun! ❤
Gosh Gayle, you could even make a cluster digital before you cut these apart. I think you could use temporary adhesive to stick them down too. That way you could use your books over and over again and just pluck them off the page when you need them. Just and idea.
This is the very best idea. Because it will be faster finding the perfect cluster for your project. I guess that is why they made sticker "books". Tina was thinking outside the box. I watched her video before you showed your video. But I like to make it individually. So glue the finished cluster in a book is more my style. Thank you for showing how the store your clusters. Big hug always.
Love how you are using your pages. Loved Diana's videos. I also watched Tania from Tatty Treasure. So now I am thinking I need to do some. Great video thanks.
I’ve jut started a similar project, but I’m using repositionable glue dots so I can pull out what I want. I’m happy with the idea because I think I’ll be able to flip through and see what I have more easily than digging through my box. I sure appreciate you! 💐
I’ve read the other comments and see that others have had the same thought. My favorite comment was the one where the follower said it’s fun to see you so excited about an idea. Ditto! You are dear to so many.
Love your idea with existing clusters already created. Great addition to Tina's idea. Watched one creator & can't remember her name that added a center page with vellum/acetate pockets to include the unused clusters when you wanted one in the middle of the page.
Tina does come up with some fantastic ideas and this is so much better storage for your fabulous clusters. Going forward, you might want to make seasonal books or one-colour books ... the options are endless.
Such a great idea. I have another thought, which is to use the cardstock for the outside then fabric pages for the fabric clusters that way they can still all be fabric if that makes sense.😊
🎉 I am joining in the delight at getting to see your clusters! What a great idea! And, depending on how the books are stored, I’m thinking the clusters could hang off the page and I wouldn’t need to worry if they all “fit” on it … so many variations to play with and now to explore! Thanks so much for sharing your take on Tina’s #clusterbook …yay!!
I watched Tina’s video and then came across yours. It is so nice to see your take on it too. I agree with you that it is a genius idea. Great way to see what you have, use up scrapbook paper that is sitting on a shelf, and have fun revisiting some of your creations. As always, thank you for the inspiration for sharing your enthusiasm and talent with all of us! 💜
This IS a fabulous idea, Gayle. My clusters hardly ever come out to play because the current storage just doesn't work. These really are true scrapbooks, too. I think I'll modify slightly, using single-sided paper - it's mostly what I have. Won't be pretty on the other side, but I can live with that. Thank you so much for picking up on Tina's ideas and showing us your own spin, too. ❤ Belinda xxx
This is one of those rare instances where I see the original video and then see you present your version of the idea. And as I was watching Tina’s video I was saying to myself…WWGD?? (What Would Gayle Do) And of course Gayle you did not disappoint!! Fun, fun, fun!!❤❤❤
I saw Tina's original video of these and also very excited to make some of these. Your books look wonderful and will be so easy to use and store. It is a genius idea and also like Rachel P. comment below about making seasonal ones as well. A Christmas one of these pre-made to go along with all your Christmas ephemera you are making now. Thanks again Tina for such a wonderful idea.
Loving this concept of going by color or subject, with scraps after a project, or scraps in general! I kept thinking that the green page with the fabric would make a fabulous Christmas one separately! I could do a fall, spring, Christmas, etc...so many ideas flying. Using up paper I won't use otherwise is a bonus! Thanks for the ideas Gayle (and Tina)!
Great idea! Thank you Tina and Gayle! I don't have many clusters but I do have words I've cut out that need a backing. Or even some images that are on thin paper that could be glued to stabilize. Much easier to see than fumbling through envelopes full of tiny pieces! I love your channel and your ideas! TFS 🤗
Wonderful idea! These will also be easy for you to take to retreats! I think it will for sure help them be used more often and they will be so much easier to see what you have. I hope you slept so great last night in your NEW bed!! Your probably gonna be adding these to 47 books while your watching tv for the next 3 yrs to get your stash in there! Maybe you need to make yours 15 pages or so and hand stitch them together so you can have more pages together. You could also go back through one of your fabric books you make and find some to slow stitch on after they are in the book! So many benefits!
Good morning Gayle!! Love this idea for storage so you can see each cluster!! I see separate books being made for your fall and Christmas clusters. 😊 Have an awesome day...💜
I love this idea!!! It’s so funny because I have watched you faithfully daily for so many years that when you explained the project I knew exactly what you were going to do with those books because I knew how you stored your clusters…LOL! I can see making actual Christmas and Fall books for those specific clusters and then keeping those books with all your Christmas and Fall stuff so you won’t forget to use them. As you were going through the fabric clusters especially, I saw several that would work specifically for Christmas. It would be awesome to have those all in one book stored with your Christmas ephemera. Oh and a whole other one for clusters that will work in your purple journals that you do!
Happy scrappy Saturday gayle what a great idea 💡 fantastic you can as well do them in order of timy flowers birds ex or in colour order too great fun I need to this 😘😍😊
This is the type of idea that works well for the way my brain works. I used to keep my tickets and my labels and my postage stamps in tins or bins. After I saw Wendy at Wendy’s Journal Adventures make little books with vellum pockets to put them in I have made three and I use them so much more, it’s so much easier to grab and flip through the pages than to paw through loose things in a container although some people really like to paw through containers. I know that from my old craft show days that sometimes you put things in a bin and people just love to dig through it but for crafting this is it for me. I am going to make some of these although I don’t have a lot of clusters I’ll probably be making more.
Loved this idea from Tina, isn't she just lovely to watch. Tina also decorated some material tags she had made, they were beautiful too. Love this Gayle.
I love this project! I was so excited when Tina did this that I couldn’t wait to get started. I’m about half way done and love it! I think I need a couple more with Christmas papers!
I love these cluster books. I am eager to make some today. How fun they are and how awesome to flip through and see all the little beauties. Wishing you a Happy Easter!
If you put completely finished clusters in the book with removable glue, you wouldn't have to tear them out. You could just choose one, pull it off and place another in the space. Saves paper. I am going to make one. Great idea!

Hi friend! I saw Tina make these and knew you’d love this fabulous idea! Blessings 💜 (Patty)
Love this idea and love how it looks like it is working with yoj!!? Such a simple idea but what a scrap buster💖💖💖

Excellent video....looking forward to tomorrow.
Using the repositionable glue would allow you to reuse the booklets😊
Hi Gayle, I love watching your videos, they inspire me, and you are a lovely person. I've been struggling with a rough depression, but I'm always lifted up by watching you. Thank you so much for being you, Tee
Thank you, Tee! Hoping for relief for you, my friend! Love and hugs to you! 🤗❤️
Looks like a relaxing project💗
These are such fun ideas…I take mental notes during your videos 😊
This is a BRILLIANT idea!!
Happy Easter!!
I think this is a wonderful idea and plan to start on books today. My personal adjustment is that when I decorate I think in terms of color so I will do one neutral book, one all pink, one all blue etc. to make my collection of clusters the most user friendly to me.

Gayle I just loved seeing your clusters. They are soo pretty. It inspired me to make some.
Maybe make a cloth book for the fabric ones. Love this idea for storage!
Awesome idea, they look so pretty! Thanks for sharing!
Yes!!! What a great and brilliant idea! Loved seeing all your clusters showcased and easy to access! Thanks for sharing with us! 🥰❤️
What an awesome idea. No more scraps sitting at the bottom of the tray or scrapbook paper sitting on your shelf gathering dust and more creative play time needed to make them. It wont be easy to cut into them though. I suppose we could make another book for the clusters that we can't bare to part with and call it "Treasured Clusters".

Aw, thank you, Anita! I love the idea of having a “Treasured Clusters” book! ❤
I love how excited you are about this idea!
I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs
Or go cheap and use a small strip of repositional scotch tape.
I have some of the repositional putty (gorilla glue brand) that I'm going to try.
I definitely love this idea too. Excellent!

absolutely awesome! Creative work is so enjoyable! thanks Gayle & Tina!🦌💌❤️📚

This would make a wonderful gift. Or leave the blank background pages for writing and you have a simple, lovely journal.
I saw Tina's original video of these and also very excited to make some of these. Your books look wonderful and will be so easy to use and store. It is a genius idea and also like Rachel P. comment below about making seasonal ones as well. A Christmas one of these pre-made to go along with all your Christmas ephemera you are making now. Thanks again Tina for such a wonderful idea.
What an ingenious idea!! So much easier to see your clusters…flipping through a “book” instead of sorting through a pile!!!
Great idea for those with dozens of clusters. I enjoyed seeing you so excited and having fun Gayle! 🥰
Great idea for store . I have that issue - out of sight out of mind, this is great to flip thru and find
The genius of this project is that the storage is also part of the ephemera. No waste! (Or very little) Hugs!❤
Loving this concept of going by color or subject, with scraps after a project, or scraps in general! I kept thinking that the green page with the fabric would make a fabulous Christmas one separately! I could do a fall, spring, Christmas, etc...so many ideas flying.

Great idea! Thank you Tina and Gayle! I don't have many clusters but I do have words I've cut out that need a backing. Or even some images that are on thin paper that could be glued to stabilize. Much easier to see than fumbling through envelopes full of tiny pieces! I love your channel and your ideas! TFS 🤗
Wonderful idea! These will also be easy for you to take to retreats! I think it will for sure help them be used more often and they will be so much easier to see what you have. I hope you slept so great last night in your NEW bed!! Your probably gonna be adding these to 47 books while your watching tv for the next 3 yrs to get your stash in there! Maybe you need to make yours 15 pages or so and hand stitch them together so you can have more pages together. You could also go back through one of your fabric books you make and find some to slow stitch on after they are in the book! So many benefits!
I don't have as many clusters as you do but one book would be great. I have soooooo much scrapbook paper I need to use up. Thanks for sharing.
Love this as can see where they are
Good morning Gayle!! Love this idea for storage so you can see each cluster!! I see separate books being made for your fall and Christmas clusters. 😊 Have an awesome day...💜
Morning Carol! ❤
This is an awesome idea!
I love this idea!!! It’s so funny because I have watched you faithfully daily for so many years that when you explained the project I knew exactly what you were going to do with those books because I knew how you stored your clusters…LOL! I can see making actual Christmas and Fall books for those specific clusters and then keeping those books with all your Christmas and Fall stuff so you won’t forget to use them. As you were going through the fabric clusters especially, I saw several that would work specifically for Christmas. It would be awesome to have those all in one book stored with your Christmas ephemera. Oh and a whole other one for clusters that will work in your purple journals that you do!
Different theme books is a great idea.
Happy scrappy Saturday gayle what a great idea 💡 fantastic you can as well do them in order of timy flowers birds ex or in colour order too great fun I need to this 😘😍😊
Hi Gayle! Have a super 🐣 Easter.
You too Millie! Happy Easter!!! 🐰❤️🐰
This is the type of idea that works well for the way my brain works. I used to keep my tickets and my labels and my postage stamps in tins or bins. After I saw Wendy at Wendy’s Journal Adventures make little books with vellum pockets to put them in I have made three and I use them so much more, it’s so much easier to grab and flip through the pages than to paw through loose things in a container although some people really like to paw through containers. I know that from my old craft show days that sometimes you put things in a bin and people just love to dig through it but for crafting this is it for me. I am going to make some of these although I don’t have a lot of clusters I’ll probably be making more.
Tina what a great idea and Gayle you expanding on it 👍🏼 Plus bins off the desk! Free space, woohoo!
I love this and I am grateful for your kindness in sharing it. I have my clusters in metal tins and I never use them, I think I will now.
Loved this idea from Tina, isn't she just lovely to watch. Tina also decorated some material tags she had made, they were beautiful too. Love this Gayle.
Happy Scrappy Saturday sweet Gayle! I hope you have a fabulous Easter weekend! He is Risen! Hugs xoxo
Happy Easter!!! 🐰❤️🐰
This is a really great idea!! Thanks to Tina and thanks, Gayle for sharing!
What a great idea of Tina's! That is going to be so handy to see and use what you have. Hugs
Gayle, What a fabulous idea Tina created. I'm thinking of other ways I can use this book for.
Thank you for sharing!
🤩🥰
This is a great organization project and being able to see things is so much easier.
What a great idea 💡. Thanks for sharing and I will hop over and watch Tina's video also. I hope you had fun shopping with hubby.
Love this idea and it is a great way to use of all the old 12 x 12 scrapbook paper was years ago 👍
I love this project! I was so excited when Tina did this that I couldn’t wait to get started. I’m about half way done and love it! I think I need a couple more with Christmas papers!
I love these cluster books. I am eager to make some today. How fun they are and how awesome to flip through and see all the little beauties. Wishing you a Happy Easter!
Happy Easter!!! 🐰❤️🐰
It may be great to do one for holiday’s too.
Good morning Gayle. I watched Tina and a few others doing this project. Like yours more as they are organized. Happy Easter. Hugs.
Morning Beverly! ❤
Great idea, but I can see where they would be hard to use, they look so pretty in those books. Have a great weekend! ☕️🌻❤️
Good morning from SC. I enjoy this idea as well. Have a wonderful weekend.
