[@gidgetb3679]

Pam, I've been watching and enjoying your ideas and videos for nearly three years. I'm so glad you haven't changed a thing! You are delightful and so fun and creative. It's nice to know there's someone out there (besides me) who talks to their paper and hears their glue snickering back at me. Don't change a thing! Bless you. :)

[@nancywalker7302]

I agree wholeheartedly!!!

[@angelabaker3638]

I was thinking about using felt circles that you put on the bottom of chair legs to avoid scratching your floors up. They are cheap, come in several sizes and you can get them at the dollar store . Instant ink dauber replacement pads for thread spools etc.. Angela from Oregon

[@pamfaircloth5284]

Clever!

[@susiemoore7226]

Great idea Angela!

[@irmagonzalez2134]

Good! The ink dauber!

[@irmagonzalez2134]

Dont have spools, but the corks from wine &&& sparkling waters!

[@831Miranda]

I've done exactly that and it does work, altho it's a bit rougher and one needs to get used to it to achieve the softer effects. I've used champagne corks (a little more ergonomic and fun to obtain :-) ) and also wooden thread spools. Haven't done ot myself but it seems that a hand molded piece 9f air dry clay with velcro at bottom would also work ...

[@patriciasheredano6284]

It’s always fun here. The sound effects and puppy love and art, what a combination!

[@lericamims]

Pam you give so much joy with your commentary. You make crafting a gift we give to ourselves. Thank you for your upbeat spirit. You inspire me to create with reckless abandon!

[@sharynsiler7669]

My husband has (had) a roll of "bum wad" that is like tracing paper but stronger. A big (huge) roll! They used it in architecture drafting. It will get dug out now. Thanks again Pam

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

Oh, Pam... You ever wanna know what living in Alaska is like, feel free to ask questions. =D I lived there a total of 10 years (with a break of about 2 years between the two times), and my partner was born, raised, and lived there until we moved to the Lower 48 in 2010. It really is a different place. In a lot of ways, I miss it (especially as my hot flashes increase in severity lol), but... it really takes a strong mindset to thrive there. Winter (or, as I called it... The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul), depending on how far north you are, is DARK. As in, a normal 8-5 job - you'd rarely see the sun. Where we were (interior AK), the "shortest day" we'd get about 2 hours of light. Light. NOT SUN. Reverse held true in summer! It wasn't unusual in summer to hear young kids running around, playing at 11pm, people grilling at that time, etc - the oddity of the sun really throws off internal clocks! In winter, at -40 below 0 (Fahrenheit), grilling on your deck was common. And... ironically, the consumption of ice cream is extremely high overall, but more-so in winter! So many, MANY amazing things about life in the "Final Frontier." I think my absolute favorite of all was bundling up, laying in the snow, and watching - and listening to (they crackle & pop)- the Aurora. If you were lucky enough that they were directly overhead, you could whistle, sing, or clap & they'd shift around in response. Many a time, I laid there, knowing the science behind them... but still in complete awe. It feels magical... reverant... and tbh, indescribable.... - Loving the ideas with the tracing paper so far. Havent finished watching yet (paused cus you were talking about the cool event/lecture you want to attend about Alaska), and you're on the 3 pocket set... I thought, "hey... why not secure a sticker, or stamp something, etc, nestled between the two layers?" So... there's an idea for anyone wanting to "go a step further". Anyway... back to the video (and bless sun-bun... so cute with those drops of water on his little face lol) Edit... ooooo, love using that open spot on the sides as a kind of tuck/belly band holder! Ohhhh, the shaker! I love how the tracing paper creates that bit of haze... it makes you want to look closer at the shaker! Ok.. the trim is beautiful. It almost looked like silk after you added the inks! That ribbon you added was perfect for it! Way to go Sunny! You aresuch a good boy!!!

[@brendabrown8027]

Pam,I look forward to watching your videos every day. I love your free spirited attitude and funny chatter while you create! Thank you so much for your tips and tricks. And can I just say,Sonny is so adorable!!!

[@jennifermiller8226]

Two visits from Sunshine 🌞. It's my lucky day!

[@karenb1073]

I love that you seem to be a free spirit when you create. I was watching the one where you used your lunch box and a stapler to create a journal. When you stapled the first set of papers it was off, and I noticed once all were stapled in how off one was. You just rolled with it. I was overwhelmed that the papers were not just so! I admire that about you so much. Much success!!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOL yep Murphy pays rent here at my house...we have learned to coexist happily ;)

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

​@@ThePaperOutpost How did you get Murphy to actually pay rent? (hehe) He's a stubborn dude and refuses to pay rent here, refuses to leave, and every attempt to evict him has resulted in more "Murphy Moments" LOL!!! I do agree, though, that your approach to things going "wonky" is just go "eh, it happens"... it's priceless. I'm trying hard to get that inner Miss Perfect to hush. Pretty sure she's in cahoots with Murphy....

[@ronijones6737]

@@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501 Lol...love it. 😄

[@teresacobb1760]

Love them all... especially the ruching! Gonna try that ASAP. Just a quick note to let you know your easy going manner is so fun! You always put me in a good mood! So not only are you videos amazing, but you are too. Thanks so much.

[@AlexiaLovesWillow]

I am new at hunk journaling, i been watching you for hours a day. I learn so much from you

[@momof2n8993]

I'm totally addicted to your channel

[@peacewithme547]

My FUNdle arrived so fast... and I can't stop looking at all the fun...

[@snarkycard]

Besides tracing paper, another thin paper you could use for all these projects you did today is the pattern paper which comes in clothes making pattern envelopes from companies like Butterick, McCalls, Simplicity etc.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Great idea!

[@lindadubey2041]

Love your ideas, but I think this is at the top of my list. Tracing paper is one of my favorites. It turns out beautiful dyed with beet juice

[@karinpost9176]

I love how your hands are as messy as mine, but I don’t know how you don’t smudge your papers like I do every time I grab them. Haha 😂

[@susanstemmet607]

Such fun with tracing paper. Loved the fourth one, the ruffles, so beautiful.

[@lericamims]

We are so proud of you Sunbun! Thank you Pam. The book is so beautiful.

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

ok so this is what i have decided to do 🤗 i spent the morning making a Pam's Creations for Junk Journals journal lol - this way everything that i make and have made from your inspiration will go into it instead of remaining in ziploc bags-- And anytime i need an idea or inspiration i can just go thru this journal - 😯🥰 what do you think of this idea Pam?? hugs to you and Sunny xx

[@SusanMJB45]

I'm thinking about doing the same thing. One of each Pam idea that I see in a video will go in my Pam's Creations Junk Journal.......

[@marlenejones6266]

I haven't heard a single bird sound....where is your birdie? Holly? ...oooooo Sunny is so cute. He's a good boy and I bet he didn't even get upset when he had a good face scrubbin.. oh hey the one thing little paper in the middle turned into a belly band....the smaller trio of number 2 idea

[@origirox]

I have to admit I've had some fun with dryer sheets. 😂

[@wendywarden5095]

I like the window with the little leaves and sequins inside. Another idea could be dried lavender. It would smell lovely inside your journal x

[@sunshinegirl8214]

Pam that was cool. A very good and useful video. You are so correct in that it is fun to discover in your stash items you had totally forgotten you ordered!! The things that make us happy, right??! LOL

[@Kat-gx3se]

OMG!! I had a little Maltese named Sunny.....he was with me for 18 years, 4months. I miss him more than I can say and seeing your little guy really pulled at my heart. I kept him puppy cut like your little one......they are the most precious dogs.

[@nathalieheath5693]

Bumpkin is hilarious 😂😂😂😂

[@sunshinegirl8214]

You’ve created something new Pam… a bellyband pocket! Lol😊

[@lindajohnson615]

I enjoy your ideas on your journals. And Sunshine is so cute. Didn't know if you noticed but he looked like he had something crystal on his nose.

[@TheCelestialhealer]

Yay, tracing paper day, my favourite🎉

[@nicoledemana]

I love this idea I like the ruffled one best but it gives us lots of scope to play with thanks by the way we use to have Maltese we had 5 at one time I love this breed of dog they are so cute and cuddlely have a great day Nicole UK

[@lericamims]

Your ideas inspire me and make me very happy. I enjoy all your tutorials!

[@lalagamma4452]

Love it all. I hope you're ok. Positive Healing Vibes and prayers for everyone in Ian's path! You can hear those tropical storm weather outside our place. Be safe💕🐞 Namaste 🥰

Thanks for the November freebies. Very nice. They'll work well for Valentines Day!

OMG Sonny is adorable 💖💖💖

[@tawnyatucker6443]

Love to see your Maltese he’s so tiny!

[@bonniearcher4505]

Great ideas Pam! I love making stuff with Tracing paper and velum. I'm excited to try the pockets! And the rouching, Looks just like cloth\materal . And I love me some sunshine with a cutie pie!!

[@lorlor2831]

Loved your video ❤️ I found a box of old typing paper. Not as thin as tracing paper but kinda. Now I have ideas running amuck in my brain. Thank you

[@begosanchezfotografia9304]

to better inking the stamps you should pad pad pad instead of rub on, in order for the ink to flow nicely. I learned that from Tim Holtz.

[@nancyeaguiar]

I’ll make this a a hidden paper clip bookmark!

[@kiminalaska9363]

Life in Alaska is cold right now. Little Sonny would freeze his bunny right now

[@ScrapperGenLa]

Really enjoy your videos. Don't all crafters talk to themselves and their material, especially their glue?! Hope you enjoyed the Alaska talk you attended. I lived in Alaska (Fairbanks) in the mid 60's (I'm an Alabama gal) and it was sooo different and fun. That was pre-pipeline and things were a little less modern and a little more wild and wooly! But I really love Florida. You are lucky to live there. One daughter lives there and her kids (J'Ville and Tampa) Gulf and Atlantic both very different and fun. Sorry got off topic from crafting. On to your next video. Think it will be "Altered Index Cards."

[@HobbesRN]

I love little Sunnee-bee!!💓💓💓

[@UniquelyYoursbyDawnMarie]

Love watching all your creative ideas.

[@GraceBlossoms4U]

Really like the paper trim!

[@sherriczmyr-studio28ejournalcr]

Thanks for sharing. Just proves journals and the pages do not have to be complicated to be beautiful! 😀

[@arashy]

I keep watching you, hoping I’ll get better at winging it. 😆 Others have also reminded me “it’s only paper“, but…. I’m working on it (insert participation trophy here). I assume you’ve made bookmarks (just started watching your channel today), so you may want to mark where you’re adding today’s craft in your journal. I suggest this realizing that you’re artistic and I’m organized (and working on becoming more artistic). I really enjoy you and Sunshine!

[@SharaLee60]

Pam🤗 I love these tracing paper ideas, especially the ruffling or ruching the tracing papers! Keep them coming & with all the goofs 🤪 & silly things too!!!☺️♥️🦃🎄

[@barbaranoble9748]

What a fun idea Pam! I love the slide through pockets. The ruffle effect is really cute! Good morning sweet Sunshine! You are such a good boy! Tyfs!❤

[@pampusscat4513]

Love your ideas for for your book I really liked 👍 the brown background paper with the pockets in tracing paper on top. Great idea

[@marastar208]

I really liked the edging with the wrinkled paper :) Thanks for sharing this.

Shakers are so fun I like that you show no dies needed or sewing required just optional

[@AnnHeineck]

Your commentary is hilariously awesome!! Lol 😂🥰👏👏

[@veannsnyder8849]

[@gingersneed2555]

Love the ruching.

[@SunflowerToshaDiys]

Thanks for sharing! I have a whole pad and was like what can I do besides tracing. 🙃 I was looking to see if distressed inks worked and you showed that as well. I love the dog making an appearance 😅 so cutes. Thanks for sharing your inspiration and creativity 💜 🌻

Great ideas. Not sure I have tracing paper but I think vellum would work like this too! TFS!

Thank You for sharing your creative ideas and demonstration. It was much fun. I think it was the historical images that held my interest and your sense of humor as weIl as intensity in a compact space. PAM/ri

[@annthomson1009]

(I have to say that as a papercrafts shop owner I was horrified when you polluted your blue ink pad with the black! Lol) And I have to agree with you 100% that the sound of paper slowly tearing, or crumpling, or a sticker being removed from the release paper or anything relating to paper is just so cool!

[@donnaswisher8408]

Mornin' Pam. Great video. I try to do at least a little crafting everyday. Wish I could craft all day everyday! I'm sorting through my stash a little at a time. Trying to condense and thin out...I have soooo much stuff and no place to put it anymore (long story I won't bore you with). I miss my craftroom 😏😔. Regards to the menagerie and Papa too. Hope you all have a great day. 🌞

Dear Pam Loved your video. Love the idea of showing the ink colors. Loved the journal u used. Tc stay safe and blessed

[@heyjude85]

Love the ruched egde!

[@therealdonnawagner]

Just judging by what the paper looks like, and seeing what I can of the watermark, I think what you're calling tracing paper is actually an Eaton's Berkshire paper that is often called "onion skin" because of the crinkly sound it makes. While it can be used for tracing, many would argue it's a much better quality product (because of content and finish) and it behaves very differently (in a superior way) from tracing paper when inks, especially fountain pen inks, are used on it. It's one of my personal favorites to search out, collect and use. 😊 Very interesting video! This is my first time to your channel, but I'm definitely interested to see more. Thank you for sharing!

[@mkyred]

What great ideas! Thank you for sharing!

[@carolek2090]

Hello Pam. I enjoyed watching the ideas you came up with the tracing paper, you always come up with such great unthinkable for me anyway ideas😅. Thank you for making me laugh.. I was a little down and some of the things you say just be so hilarious like when you showed your dog on the screen..sorry I forgot his name but I laughed so 😂Thank you again. Oh I’m still trying to purchase one of your junk journals it’s just that every time you make one and I go online to purchase it’s already sold😮 I guess I need to move a little faster huh. God bless
