It would have been cool to make a wreath type circle and only gluing the outer wings down so a picture could be placed in the middle with the inner wings holding the picture in

[@gloriahosking3834]

Love what you have done with the butterflies. Sunny is as cute as ever. We are coming into summer here in NZ but at the moment it’s a mixture of rain, cold, windy with sunshine along the way, like a lot of people I hate the cold. Catch you later….👍🇳🇿🌹

[@mydirtylittlehands4389]

It's so wonderful you always remember that some of the viewers are new. I'm newish and love it.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi My dirty little hands! Welcome to the family! I am so excited for you on your new journey into junk journals! It's a very friendly community! Come on down the rabbit hole with the rest of us and have some fun! :)Thanks for watching! :) Pam :) !!

[@cindyreseck4429]

We need butterflies all year long to keep our spirits happy and flying high!

[@bernadettecarville80]

Nice ideas Pam. Love them. I might add a cluster of big and small butterflies too. That would look cool.

[@lorifitzgibbon3085]

Good morning Junk journal pals!! Pam, I'm so happy you said decorate your journal in the way the it takes you. I totally agree!! I started one and said garden theme, didn't happen the way I envisioned. My journal said decorate me in the way that makes you happy. So I did. I had so much fun. Thank you.

[@sueparker3287]

I love rewatching your videos while I complete multi projects! Thank you for all that you do and for Sunny too!!

[@annecanright4918]

I love your videos Pam! I just thought: take the punch and punch out butterflies in the book's paper. then you have some pages where you can see the next page and it adds to the idea that the butterflies are moving about!

[@Tc9Studios]

Love the butterflies on the string!!! Awesome!

Perfect timing, I’m in the process of creating a butterfly journal, thanks for the ideas

[@victorialadjadj8592]

Hi good crafty people, hope you're all having a great day 😘👍 Love the neutral colours of this journal Pam and can't go wrong with butterflies, but I never thought to do them with book pages, I'm slipping lol 😂😂 Shame about the punch, such a bind when they don't work properly, I tend to use dies, but do have plenty of punches, none the less. Take care all, , love n hugs from Victoria in England 👍😘🇬🇧 Ps sweet pea, I'm still feeding them thar sheeps, still haven't run out of apples, think there will be a rebellion when I do though 😂🍎😂🍏😂🐏🐏🐏

[@patriciarinaldi9390]

Love the idea of putting your grommets with your big crop a dial in the book holes. Then at the bottom of the page glue two butterfly together for reinforcement with a string....for flying dangles. 😊🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋as if you need more ideas from some fancypants in the gallery. 🤣

[@ThePaperOutpost]

That's a great idea!

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Great job !!!! Pam way to go.🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 I love butterflies. I have a butterfly bush. 🦋🦋 Thanks for sharing.

Good morning Pam… I definitely agree that butterflies are an anytime because they perk you up. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. I absolutely love them!!!

I am working on a cereal box journal and the butterfly punch is just what I needed to get the creative juices running. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks.

[@MySkywatch2]

Perfect video to get my granddaughter started in her journal!

[@emzizthemz]

Thank you, Pam, for your great advice and creativity! I appreciate your thoughts on things. My grandma (may she rest peacefully) used to tell me “one thing at a time” and it helped me to focus a little

Oooh I love your butterflies journal, you’ve inspired me to make one … 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@rhondadorst3553]

Good Morning everyone, I love that butterfly punch. 🦋

[@beckyb4074]

Hello Pam, loving your butterfly ideas. Yes, fiskars had the trademark orange color on their products. Your scissors you like to use are fiskars. Thanks for sharing the cute pictures of sunshine in your community tab. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@ilakaiser3778]

It is refreshing to seethe simplicity of your pages. A dot or dash trail in pen might look nice behind a butterfly. Another 3-d butterfly would be to glue one down then glue just the center strip of a second directly on top. When they are dry, gently lift the top wings.

[@clemonscrafts]

Butterflies are wonderful YEAR ROUND LOL! I grow Lantana in my back yard and there are STILL a couple of beautiful butterflies grabbing last snacks for the winter!

[@northernerinnc3179]

I like the idea of the theme to a journal--- I've got some scraps of French fabric that I'm going to try next this way. Thank you

[@joannementor5943]

I love it when you talk it is soothing while I am sewing

[@decbarfra]

Agree that the used punches are No bueno. Loving the butterfly extravaganza. Hope we get to see a flip through of this baby when she’s finished. ❤

Those punched out pages look like pretty good butterfly stencils too! So tempted to check to see if I have a butterfly punch now. Thanks, Pam!

Pam, I used to work for a radio station… dead air was the number one cardinal sin for the hear, the customer and clients. So talk on. Ya might learn something! And that’s the rest of the story as Paul Harvey used to say. 😂❤

[@Sundies_Art]

Good morning Pam. I so enjoy watching your videos. I have watched a few other crafters on You Tube and they are good, but you are so much fun to watch I always come back to your videos. Some are very utilitarian, and some are just "extra" and I can see myself getting stressed out trying to create the way they do. You make it FUN, which is what it should be. Those others are great, don't get me wrong, and I learned something from each. Anyway, I just really enjoy your videos, and thank you so much for your gift.

[@sandrasimard1808]

morning Pam an Sonny, omg, he is so sweet, really love the idea of the butterflies , have to try it for sure.

[@pm-r6136]

Cute ideas as always!! I don't think you talk too much!! I love it!! I feel like you're sitting right beside me really talking to me!! I get anxious when there's no talking. I never finish the video. It's uncomfortable.

Hi again, Pam! I'm so glad for 4 videos every week! I can enjoy crafting with you (or just watching and learning) on Saturdays when Hubby is hogging the tv! I enjoy your friendly conversation as you work! Please don't stop! As much as I have learned in one year I still learn with every journal you teach! p.s. Being a desert dweller I totally understand how 73° can feel chilly to you and SunBun! You are not alone! 🦋😊🦋

[@barbaranoble9748]

I really love the butterfly theme Pam! I hope all is well for you and your family! Good morning sweet Sunshine! ❤️Tyfs!

[@MyDjturner]

I only have one punch and that is a 1: circle, more coming, like everything else. But, I cut out circles while watching movies, youtube or Yellowstone reruns. 😁Then I collect the scraps that will make a smaller piece with whatever punch comes in the next parcel. Then I punch a hole in some. Yes Sunny I need to work on my bad boy bark...I'm too kind and too sift...so I will work on it from now on. ❤
