JUNK JOURNAL CRAFT CHAT! :) Answering Your Crafty Questions! :) The Paper Outpost! :)

[@caroltanzi29]

Pam: I felt this video was a very important one. Why? -because you started to touch on the psychological thinking behind junk journaling. This is something I’m very interested in. I’ve watched many of you for about 3 years now. I have not only learned a lot from all the creativeness, but about human nature. There are stories here! There is a lot behind junk journaling. It seems all of you are talented, have a loving nature and want to share. That is part of the beginning of the story. This alone, in our world today, is even more important than ever. It’s such a peaceful place to be. I thank you for your attitude, talent, enthusiasm, and sharing. Wonderful gifts to share with friends. Carol from California

Hi Carol! :) Thanks that means so much :) It is very nice to connect with you fellow crafty sister who understands the depths of the creative process :) Big hugs! Pam :)

[@bonniemcgill6532]

There is something so calming about working with found items, things that most people toss in the trash. I pick something up and "tuck" it away for future paper therapy. The final product may not be a work of art but the happiness and calm it provided me for however long no one can say one negative word against!! ❤️

[@dedepyle7046]

Hi Pam! I work at a local hospital and in some areas get packages and they have the brown paper in them, and they are so nice let me have it. I tell them all that the brown paper is gold to me. Sometimes I pull some of the white paper off the exam beds and have that too...yes its clean..lol I get their cracker boxes, candy boxes, etc and its so free for the taking...its so fun to get stuff from co-workers and reuse it. Have a great day and craft with reckless abandon.

[@learningkeys21]

Pam, this is a great chat. I’m a lifetime scrapbooker, but always liked to include pockets, tucks and surprise elements. I haven’t done one in quite some time, and now I am beginning my junk journal journey. You are spot on about photos! Earlier this year my closest childhood friend passed away, and I was given photo albums, postcard albums, bags of lace, boxes of letters, old books of all kinds, telegrams and so much more. I’m making two journals right now, one for me to remember my friend and our friendship, and one for her brother - about growing up with his older sister. Old report cards, school photos, memorabilia from high school days, concert tickets, antique lace and buttons- all these things can be part of the journal. Listening to your chat, I feel SO MUCH at home :) Thanks for all your generous videos and amazing creations. You are an inspiration for newbies like me. Laurie Molnar

Hi Pam! Greetings with Hugs from Finland. Thought to drop a line, since it's been ages I've done so, but I still do watch all your videos. I just love the way you explain things and talk constantly on your videos.

[@craftiejjnewton7097]

Thanks for sharing love the chat I have all mixed matched storage lol but it works 👍😊

[@ReneesatItAgain]

Hi Pam!! I'm done teaching for the semester and catching up with crafty vid people! You've definitely made a video of the glue / glue stick holder!!! I'm a semi-newbie and remember that video. Super cool! Would love to see you hand stitch spines and ... hand stitch in general ... maybe some journaling embellis!?

[@ReneesatItAgain]

....And Amen Sister! Function is definitely better than pretty ... but, I'm still working on function within function .... OMG! .... and editing is the coolest .... it's super attractive too, especially at your subbie level.... an investment maybe? Do it!! You're never too old to make great even betta!! Thanks for fun vids!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOL, thanks, I will dig around and find it :)

[@kellyratliff3473]

Pam I really appreciate all your help with creative ideas. Thank you. Please keep making your videos because you are a great inspiration to me and sure many more people.

[@karendananay6730]

I loved your mother's day special and I have something Pam made. The digital kits you send are awesome and I'm glad you offer because, not having a printer it's great. These video's give more insight into you. Love them!!!

[@leerowley70]

I too am getting to that phase in my life where form means more than pretty in my space. It makes life simpler and that is important right now. Have a fabulous day!

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Always enjoy the chats and tips. Have a good weekend ☺️👍🤗

You know we are all crafters and are soo familiar with the “mess”, and would love to see your room even though you’ve crafted! Mess does not offend me, it just gives me more ideas.

Can’t wait to see how you organized your room! I want to see the room divider you mentioned …I’ll be moving into the main room of the basement area so I need to make a separation and having a wall to put tools hanging from is a great idea !!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Its coming ;)

[@michellejanossy8186]

Love this series! It adds a fun personal touch. 💕

[@lindahowe2293]

What a very helpful craft chat today, Miss Pam! I am 68 yo and I have become more "function" minded all through our house. I want a home we use instead of one that looks like it was meant for company! Hubby agrees! The old decorator said it: "Form follows Function". Btw, it was fun watching you play with the pile of eyelets! Your hands are alwsys itching to make something! We love you and fam! Blessings! 💕

Thank you Pam - why do i love these videos?? lol - because we are learning so much - you teach us and you inform us and you give such wonderful tips and techniques - I look forward to seeing your room tour - while watching i decoupaged 2 Lipton Tea Boxes - the ones with the flip up lids - i find them convenient for storage - they are stacked up on top of my TV - yes my TV lol - i now have 6 so they are stacked 3 high side by side - easy access and pretty xx be well

I just discovered your channel about a month ago and I have been binge watching. I’ve already made many items along side you. I retired and am now an artist. I’ve always loved paper crafts and books and probably have enough supplies from years ago to make at least 100 junk journals . Trying to incorporate my own art into them. I love learning from you. Thanks.

[@jennr7500]

Watching now about the stamping images. Years ago a Stampin’ Up rep advised to “huff” on the inked stamp. The hot breath does something to the ink and you get more from the stamp. (Huff = hold stamp to open mouth and breathe out onto the stamp w some force.)

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

Hi Pam, Love the craft and chat. It's great for all of us crafters as well as video creators. Today inspired a question for me...how do you organize your time to create videos and upload to KZbin, make Etsy digitals and post them to Etsy, create the fundals, mailing packages, and host the podcasts? It leaves me in awe how you manage to get so many things done. I am slowly growing in my creative journey and video production and some days it just feels overwhelming. Do you have certain days for doing certain items? Is there a better way to plan it all out? Thank you, I love your channel. Hugs, Angela

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Angela! I think I need to do a video on that, maybe a day in the life ?

[@junkjournalingjenn391]

Great video! Thanks Pam ❤️❤️❤️

[@maryem44]

Hi. You are awesome. I’m making my first journal. I just stapled my full page together. I also have folded ones around the full ones. Instead of copy paper I used yellow construction paper as well as craft paper. It is 382 pages. I’ll be decorating it for months. Question: can you show how to decorate full pages ?

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Thats awesome Mary! I will be happy too, stay tuned! I have put that on my idea list :)

Speaking of nicknames… I wish belly bands were called garters in the paper art world. Interesting how the nicknames get started. Loved the video Pam and all your videos.

[@knottyyarnies450]

Pam DM is direct message ;) but I to think it’s something else, I’m still saying “PM” instead for private message, I have no idea when that ever changed lol. I’m always watching from my tv and forget to come comment from my phone. I bought my fabri-fix at michaels and it was $27 Canadian AND only 3/4 full, maybe dissolved? But my question is.....it’s now really really thick and doesn’t squeeze out even when it’s upside down, do you know of a way to thin it out, maybe soak the bottle in hot water? I wasn’t sure because I think it shows it’s explosive or something on the front? Thanks so much for these videos, I look forward to each mon., wed, fri, Saturday but especially Fridays!

[@lorifitzgibbon3085]

Hi Pam, I love these chats. I've been scouring your videos for one that uses a file folder for storage of paper. Can you make one if you haven't?
