[@nelsonshakespeare2881]

This morning as I watch yet another of your fabulously authentic and helpful videos, I suggest that you, "Pam of The Paper Outpost are to the world of Junk Journal making, what Bob Ross was to the world of oil painting. 🙏😄❤! I hope you will want to share tips and techniques about JJ making for many years to come. Bravo Professor!

[@lalagamma4452]

Nothing vulgar about this spread!! So stinkin cute!! 🌼💐🥀💜💚

[@zoramaeedmonds3677]

Hi Pam, really enjoyed your video. Thanks❣

[@karenbearden6198]

You are so much fun to watch, please don't ever get tired of making these videos...."professional that I am,,," ha ha

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Awe, thanks Karen! That means a lot! :)

[@fancyfrugalist8528]

New here, just a tip for the frugal lol 😆 I used a old liquid med shade foundation to destress on the side with a make up brush and then a dark drown powder eyeshadow for the darker edges with a smudge brush and it looks so good. Just in case u can't get ur hands on the actual destress stuff right away!! Im soooo glad I found this channel and these ideas. I have so much junk!!!!! Thank u!!!

[@heyjude85]

Great idea! Many years ago, I once used a blue eye shadow on a design for an annual report cover. Use whatcha got!

[@teresarn1965]

You are so soothing. I have started feeling much better about all the bad things going on in my life since I have been watching your channel. I dyed paper all day and watched alot of your content. Thank you!

[@annettevanderwesthuizen4470]

Love the yellow page transformation ! Annette ( South Africa)

[@judywilburnwhite5690]

Hi Pam. It is always nice to watch and listen to you doing your reckless abandon . .

[@KrissiCreates]

I'm late to the party ! I love coming to visit you . I always get some giggles and some great inspiration. Holly and the love birds tickle me ,hearing them in the background. We had a blue front Amazon Parrot that had her own destruction zone. She talked and could sound like my son and I. She would get in her hiding spot and call the kitty. Upon kittys arrival she would pop out and pat the cats head and say Ha ha gottcha !! Lol !! Sure miss that silly girl !!! Anyway, love your video's Pam !!

[@amyt6254]

It is so helpful to see how you think things through and decorate your page! Thank you!

[@jennifersaulpaugh5425]

Love you! We are so alike when working with our materials! Thank you for your great ideas.

[@nancyworsley5057]

I'm still watching and learning. I have an old book picked out for my gardening journal.

[@sandikalin636]

I love all your videos. I’m brand new to junk journaling. You’ve been such a great help. Thank you

[@bonniewright1913]

Pam, I love your videos and all that you show and teach us. Keep up the great work and know you are one funny girl!

[@teresac205]

I love it when you fussy tear, it looks real nice

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Oh thank you! :)

[@angievanwyk8161]

I love your ideas pam love your two pages simple and very pretty

[@Melinda-S]

Thank you for showing more of your process.

[@candydean4577]

The ideas.......thank you so much, I love these videos....

[@emmkaa2099]

You mentioned always putting "just one more thing" to your pages and that's why your journals are so wonderfully overstuffed. LOL. When I very, very first heard about JJs somebody hate on KZbin - I have no idea who it was - said when whatever you're working on - the page or snippet or pocket - has enough decorations add one more thing and THEN it has enough. I knew right there that JJing was for me. Thanks for sharing your brilliance. With love from the Southern California desert, MK ♥️🌞🌵

[@ThePaperOutpost]

You are pure joy EmmKaa! :)

[@pamfrank3962]

Always start my morning with your happy. Thank you for sharing your thought process

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Love that!

[@Meanne77]

Putting a little magnet on the glue so you don't loose the pin on your craft table, OMG what a genius idea!! I keep losing mine at the fricking time!! :D Your ecopaper was so beautiful, I cried a little when you cut it in half :D

[@karenlulay]

Enjoying these videos. Gives me all kinds of ideas.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Karen Lulay! Best words ever! :) Yay!! :)

[@susangruber6993]

Love your videos...you're my almost-daily dose of sunshine! Pretty pages, as usual -- thanks for being such a good teacher!

[@caroleblancher262]

What a creative way to share your appreciation! Had to share my appreciation of your appreciation, Susan Gruber!

[@pamobryan5455]

That's what I did Pam.....I just finished a page where I had to add "ONE more thing"! The purple...turquoise ... Gold and diamond stickles were so fun I got carried away....and I like it!!!!

[@Sheamarie]

Love these ideas. Thank you for sharing.

[@elaine.larkinlanecreations]

This was fun putting this page together! THUMBS UP!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Thanks so much Elaine!!! That means the world to me!! :)

[@SusanMJB45]

I'm only on Episode Two of this series, but already it is so helpful. I have my signatures and cover made and I have put them together to make my junk journal. Now what? I have a whole journal of various papers, but they are "empty" at the moment. This series is helping to answer the question of what to do now....... Thank you !!!!

[@suruha2306]

Leave it to you to consider your pet's "construction" and even give him his own corner to "work"! LOL You are such a positive lady! I am one of those 'cup-half-full' people, too! My granddaughter accidentally hit me in the back with a pillow the other day. She was all apologetic, but, I just told her, "Well, at least it wasn't a sledge hammer!" LOL There is so much negativity in this world! I refuse to let it get me down! Blessings! Su

[@judymartin7621]

I really enjoy your videos and your thought process. TFS

[@darlatoman8654]

Wow! I love the way this turned out. Tyfs

[@jojeffers7416]

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Sherry Sajdak! I have a ton of ideas coming your way soon! Thanks for watching! :) Pam :) !!

[@donnamatoi5256]

Another great video Pam! I love how your dictionary page had vulgar! Good cover! So happy to watch you in action, thanks for all you do! ❤️

[@gretchenkleer9252]

BIRD ART, BIRD ART, BIRD ART....Hello lovely lady! Thank you for sharing your wonderful art and quirky humor. Be "safe". ;-)

[@juneribbons5196]

I love your roadside rockhound epherma . Cause I are one too lol. The journal is awesome as always

[@sherryvanderpool4024]

The rock man was a great find

[@ThePaperOutpost]

There are so many stories wrapped up into one picture!

[@harleygran9536]

Thank you for this series. I have so many 'cool' pieces but have trouble making a cohesive page. Seeing your process is inspiring.

[@bujolove8256]

I love this new series you've started. It's very helpful!

[@brendagilbert7881]

very interesting! I am still figuring Junk Journaling out! I Bible journal, and love that time with GOD... And putting your parrot to work is so fun! I have 5, down from dozens many years ago when I raised babies for clients..But my Blue and Gold Macaw would be horrified if I gave him a new toy..he is 23 now and yells for Apples all the time..He used to talk quite a bit, but now that his roommate across the aviary died, he has been more quiet..Sparky my Amazon I raised with Teiko the macaw and she would sing songs, in opera style, and said 200 words and phrases..always a joy to be around. But she fell from her 5' top while playing with toys, and broke her neck last summer..thought I would die..raised them both from featherless chicks.I have had parrots longer in our home than the 5 boys we raised, who are all grown men now. So much enjoy hearing your bird noises. Greys have a different sound than macaws and Amazons..love my birds too..

[@sharonharper4651]

Thank you so much Pam. Everyday I learn something new. And today was about working with white. I keep covering it all up with ink. Now I see how beautiful it. As always your amazing. Your friend Sharon Harper is 👍💗😉🤗

[@gurkmeja2021]

You always have such brilliant ideas!

[@danielerichard3619]

PINSDOWN... Always put the pin. Whatever I do or go, I always have to go back because I forgot something. It's not Alzheimer it's age. Anyway, these episodes are fun. To start with a white page is a nightmare. Even if you have all the ingredients, something does'nt fit. But it will when you let go. It's a joy to see it come all together. Thanks. Sweet dreams Pamaroo. Hug xox :-)

[@bette-annflood835]

Great ideas. That button and floss code set it off. And that eco dye. It's gorgeous!!!!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Bette-ann Flood! Thanks dear heart! :)

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

Nice video on placement that goes together with the theme of a page,not just thrown on the page..thanks

[@patchouligirl7954]

Hey Pam..I luv the clusters, I have so many little scraps I can't bear to throw out so I shall make some. Enjoyed this vid..Shelley

Good morning from sunny Wisconsin. What a great way to start the weekend watching your video and listening to your cheerful voice and of course we can’t forget Holly. Love the old pictures. Those are some of my favorites. There is so much character in the old photos. So cute to give Holly bits of fun to make him as happy as you. Have a fantabulous weekend. ❣️❣️

[@ThePaperOutpost]

I am so happy the sun is shining for you today Patricia! Hoping some crafty fun works its way into your day! Holly says hello! :)

[@monicabaldner1330]

[@1961segundo]

Love watching your videos and love listening to your directions. I talk to my self as I go along also. I have found in my Junk Journaling there is no rhyme or measure in my journals. I just like doing them nothing professional looking for sure..

[@cathiespalding5311]

[@gionun8950]

I love your page layouts. Holly sounds like such a character. Hope he builds you a new kitchen when he's done with the one you have. Tfs

[@kathrynhelm4176]

I had to laugh at “vulgar”. Im finishing my very first journal for my Granddaughter and had made a wallet made from some book pages (saw it on one of your flip-throughs). It was a little booklet with pictures of Papa and Grandma. I thought I’d leave the text on back but remembered you (and others) always stress to make sure there isn’t anything bad or vulgar 😂 so I started reading the text to make sure. 😱😱😱😱😱😱 “thrusting” was the main topic and that’s all I’ll say...nearly dropped my teeth and they’re still attached! Well Grandma quickly altered the back and had a good laugh. 🤣. Love this series.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOLOL...so funny Kathryn!! Good catch! :) Here, I'll get your teeth for you...they rolled under my craft desk ;)

[@kathrynhelm4176]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@JOBETHSEXTONSCraftyCauldron]

Have I mentioned how much I love your videos? :D Omg, this was SOOOO fun! I just love watching you work. The parts where you tried something and then said 'Nah, don't like it.' and threw is aside... So familiar and made me laugh out loud!! Also, I really like hearing your birds have their 'twitter-fest' and all the stories about Holly. So awesome. Anyway... Thank you for the video and the tips, especially about that glue top. Very helpful. Take care, Pam. Your are awesome!

[@bette-annflood835]

Well I still haven't received my printer but I just ordered a bunch of digis from you. Can't wait bto start printing. Yayyyyy

[@ThePaperOutpost]

You are one motivated crafter Bette-ann! I love that about you! :)

[@shondra6]

I totally enjoyed this tutorial Pam. Oh those eco prints 😳😱 I’m off to your shop to buy those . They are georguss. TFS 💜💜

[@jensjunk5688]

Enjoying this series ♥️🌻 you have me laughing about your birds always 😂

[@jeantringale9776]

Love this video - very helpful!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@barbhayes5613]

I am laughing out loud! Just yesterday I pulled out the pin from my Art Glitter Glue and the round ball came off - turned a quick little task into a major project. So sorry it happened to you on camera, but glad I'm not the only one. Cheers!

[@janet257]

What a lovely page! I really appreciate all your tips. They’ve so much. 💗 How did you thicken your Gesso? Did you add more baby powder and glue or just one if those! Mine is way too thin.

[@lindabosico835]

Loved the glue pin mishap. I am new at this and my crafting seems more mishap than creativity. I have high hopes it will improve.

[@staceycorteville6756]

I love the masking tape in these books. Especially if you run the ink over it. Do you remember the 70’s covering bottles with little ripped pieces of tape, then staining it!?

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Oh gosh Stacie!! I do remember those bottles!

[@createwithpamela]

Haha! I've had the bead at the top of a pin pop off, too! Love following your thought process ... & how your journal pages are turning out. Hugs from Ireland.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Pamela from Ireland! :) Yep. real recorded live TV here with no editing! Well maybe an occasional pause..I was a flock of bluebirds today!! :)

[@kristakefer8551]

The Paper Outpost I personally think that the “flock of bluebirds”is what makes a junk journal a successful Junk Journal...

[@TheLollygirl69]

I want the metal top n pin for my art glitter glue, but so expensive here in NZ 😢.

[@wrenbayley]

Ms. Pam, do you have a video on eco-dying paper?

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Its in the works! :)

[@janet257]

I’m binge watching your videos! Lol Love all your tips and your page is lovely. *How did you thicken your Gesso? Mine is way too thin. 💗
