One more thing....I LOVED AND ADORED your animal symphony...BEAUTIFUL.

[@janeenrodgers5993]

Still loving all the videos. I love how you showed us how to go back make a change and move on. Real life happens.

[@danaeroberts684]

You just showed me how I can make use of all the plastic padded envelopes I have. I knew there was a reason to keep them. Shhh 🤫 don’t tell my family that I save recyclables. Actually, they already know! Great ideas come from great minds!! 😘Also fabulous fabric cover, so contemporary!!

[@barbaranoble9748]

OMG! Congratulations on 80,000 subbies! I am so proud of you Pam but I told you so! You really make everyone so happy and entertained. I am so glad to be a part of this team! ❤❤❤

I was rummaging around my garage where I have a ton of totes full of fabric. I found a bunch fabric swatches I had forgotten I had. I was so excited! They are all neutral colors and perfect for journal covers.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

What an awesome find!! :) Sometimes the best shopping happens at home :)

[@kimberlywalker280]

LOVE your journal....🙂 I, now, KNOW That I HAVE crossed over to the other side....earlier, I found myself pulling the cardboard mail pieces and, putting them aside for a "junk journal" project, later.....almost, to the point, of being obsessive..... What?.....obsessive with throw away mail pieces?!?....oh my goodness. 😅😅😅 There IS a positive side to this "madness".....I ACTUALLY WORKED(FINALLY) in my junk journal the other night.... and, I LOVED IT! I felt so calm, and, relaxed, afterwards. 😃❤😃

[@laurakovach743]

I’ve made 5 journals with packaging. I made 2 with fabric and 3 with wall paper samples. They’re so easy. I love them.

[@arizonamonarch]

I started making these last year during the lovely lockdown and they are so soft and squishy along with crinkly sounding. They are fun, quick and easy which is what my attention span needs. :)

[@katie27320]

Well darn, I have been tossing the plastic ones but saving the paper ones thinking they would make good journals because I like the crinkly sound they make.

Thanks so much Zandain! :) The orchestra sends their best wishes to you! :)

[@number1nanaof2]

Wow factor at its best! Fantastic squish-ability. Love this. I love the tactile feeling and sound of paper and this padded envelope and fabric just added to the feel-factor. That's probably why I prefer reading a real book instead of a tablet or ipad. Maybe a tablet would be ok on a plane where reading in the dark is difficult 🤷‍♀️🤪 Anyway, this was great. So many great ideas here. I am sure you must get some help from Sunny and Holly. They give you such support. Thank you for showing us more inventive journal making. God bless! 🥰

What a great use on an envelope! Love the idea and thanks for showing the “resizing” ....is always a little daunting to try and fix things one wants to change after some of the project is glued.....you make it not scary at all, totally doable. I also loved the binding method width the wider material. I must try this! Thanks so much!!

Very resourceful!

Morning Pam. I have a very busy day ahead with my granddaughter's grad party today but had to watch you first to start my day. I have this on my list of things I want to do...glad for the reminder. 😁 Good to hear the feathered orchestra, so cheerful. Also, wanted to tell you, I found another glue by Beacon called Multi-Grip that works just like Fabri-Tac. It works on so many different surfaces I think I could build a house with it! Tile, brick, concrete, wood, glass, leather and FABRIC! 😆 TFS.

Thanks for the glue info, I will check it out :) Have a happy party and congrats to your granddaughter! :)

Finally using a mailer I get.

[@papercraftingwithmisstommi]

My sewing machine quit today too. It was a fancy one with a bunch of stitches I never used, so I ordered a basic one with just a few stitches. I’m not complaining though, I hated the bobbin on my machine. It was a stand up with a bobbin case and it was a pain to load. So my new one is a regular drop in kind and I’m happy. Can’t wait for it to come in so I can get to sewing again.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Oh I am so excited for you!!! :)

[@belindasmith9739]

You are always so chirpy - like your lovely birds. Great fun listening to you and I love the no sew tutorials as I haven’t gotten into sewing yet. My craft room is new and needs permanent shelves and a bench where my machine can sit out. Thanks for sharing yourself with us.

Absolutely love this it's so stinkin pretty. I bet if you use carpet tape it would attach to both the bag and the material very well that is if you're not using a sewing machine. I like that kind of crinkle the kind of crinkle that is annoying is the kind that is used for packaging that clear packaging stuff.🥰🐞🤗
