The pop appeal is real! Enjoyed our crafting time together this morning. Give Holly and the lovebirds a treat for me. 💜

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Jaide Hazelwood! That's awesome! And Holly waves a wing hello to you! :)

[@karinrylander7237]

Hi Pam, Your videos have always rescued me from a cranky morning :). I believe it was the loveable Bob Ross who said, “Happy Accidents “ as well as “happy trees” &”Happy clouds”

[@daniellesimone02]

I watch your videos non stop, I’m constantly making the things I see you create. My journal is so thick, it won’t close anymore! I don’t know how much more cool creations it can take lol!! Love all of your videos! Thank you for sharing your awesome creations with us! 😌

[@sharonharper4651]

I sure am blessed to have you in my life today. I love your mini books but more importantly I just needed you're wonderful personality to cheer me up today. Thanks Pam for all that you do for us. You are the best.😘 your Friend Sharon Harper

[@ThePaperOutpost]

[@amyjo1293]

Love your doggies. Beautiful art, Pam.

[@myshlmestan9951]

It was Bob Ross says "Happy Accidents" 😄😄

[@lauravasquez169]

I like the few pages because they can still go in a journal or as a little note pad for the purse. ❤

lol ok how many watched her fingers to see if she was going to hit the stickles? Pam I love the way your mind works it is pure creative genius thank you so much for all you teach us in the crafting world it truly amazes me how you think of all these but the more I watch the more I find myself able to look at something I would normally throw out and say hmmm how can I use this. Only problem is I am creating more things I need to store lol. Love every thing you do.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOL, I hear you ;)

[@diananighswonger6118]

so cute. Man I need to eat more fish so I can think like you or be younger, well that aint happening I guess, so just have to go with more fish. Wish we were in florida so we could actually catch some fish like we did in the ocean at key west. It was so fun. I love florida.

[@amylandry4108]

Hi Lala Gamma! Thanks and big hugs to you! :) Pam :) !!

[@andreajohnsMyPotteryBliss]

Love the free form stitches. I think I’ll do that and then doodle leaves and flowers all along them. I use a large size pink eraser to staple into. Works pretty well. To allow himself imperfection in his projects Dad used to say, “good enough for government work” when he made something that had a small flaw. Then he could let the process go. (He never worked for the government, he was a farmer his entire life)

[@ThePaperOutpost]

He sounds like a hoot! Thanks Andrea! :)

[@bette-annflood835]

Love drawing on the bookpages. And what an easy way to color them in. Another super idea from you. Good morning.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@KD-yy6on]

Love that idea Pam i definitely want to have a go love your videos sendibg sunshine hugs from London tfs Pam x

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Good morning special angel KD! :) I think you ought to have a go at this one! Use up some of those pretty papers you have been saving too! Its high time we bust out the good china! :) LOL

[@patriciaruppert201]

Good morning from rainy Wisconsin. So lovely to start my day with your cheerful video. And that cheerfulness is contagious. And of course the birds chime in. I love this idea. Thank you. ❣️❣️

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Good morning Patricia! :) I had a nice rain walk this morning! :) Felt good to be outside! Hey sunshine, I sent you a little something last week. Hoping it makes it to you soon! :)

[@patriciaruppert201]

The Paper Outpost Good afternoon. I received your amazing journal. My heart was filled with gratitude and it brought tears to my eyes. The cardinals in the book spoke to me and in my mind I saw my daughters face. I am going to use the journal for some positive thoughts and a picture here and there. Your generosity touched me more deeply than can be expressed. You seemed to arrive at a time when I needed it most. Losing a child is a hurt that can’t be explained. I want to remember the beautiful things about Heather and the impact she made on those of us that knew her. Her faith was strong and I know she is soaring with the angels with her set of wings. Thank you so much for being the sweetheart you are and making me feel so blessed. God bless and keep you. Patricia ❣️❣️

[@brendaclark2703]

Good morning Pam! Such a fun video. I had a great time with you! My nature journal i made is soo full that i need to make another just to house all of the extra goodies i have been making from your tuts! Haha i so enjoy my time with you. Hope you and your family are well, take care, have a blessed day ❤️🌹

[@lincasteel-butler531]

You can use Mr. Sandy to work your staples too.

[@sallystepp1964]

Would love to see a video on how to use eyelets and grommets and how to use them in journals. Thank u. Keep up the good work. Sally in SC

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Sally Stepp! Great thought! I will put that on the idea list! :)

[@darlatoman8654]

Great video..tyfs

[@seamlesscreations]

love these, just made the wonky one and the tall slim one....still building up supplies here. Thank you so much Pam, you're such an inspiration to us all and enable us to create with reckless abandon

[@lajoni7990]

Your 3 rd example is how I sometimes fold a rectangle ..cut along fold and I have 2 pockets when I'm making mini notebooks...love your ideas

[@ThePaperOutpost]

That's a great idea!

[@clairejones5944]

I love that you're so enthusiastic about everything you create,you share some great ideas,thanks 😊😊

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Claire Jones: Glad you like it! :) Pam :) !!

[@WoodlandInspired]

Love these projects you come up with, my favorite is the tall skinny notebook. How fun! Thanks for sharing your awesome idea & take care.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Celeste Gardner! So happy to hear you are having fun! :) That means so much! :)

[@semajrn1]

Pam, I adore your ideas and go straight to my art table after watching your videos.. you are so inspiring, and I really need your inspiration for daily arting. I am also a bird person and LOVE the sounds of your birds in the background... I always wish they were visible. I thought you had parrots, but the sounds they make do not mimic parrot sounds...they are more beautiful chirping than just loud "yelling, screaming, or barking" type sounds. What type of parrots are they? I have a cockatoo who sounds nothing like your guys...

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi there! I have an African gray parrot and 2 lovebirds! :) I have always admired cockatoos!

[@sarithaprem]

Oh my! How wonderful are these doable 💡 ideas! Thanks for sharing. Quite fun when you come back with a bang after having gone off rail! 🤗🤗💖💖

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOL :) Thanks!

[@pamcardinal1249]

you can also use your bone folder to push the staples in place. Pam in Colorado

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Pam Cardinal! Wonderful tip! Thanks for sharing it with us! :)

[@ThePaperOutpost]

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Yay! Thank you!

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I have been collecting adult coloring books for years now. I have also saved all of my pictures I’ve colored. I didn’t know what I was going to do with them but since I’ve discovered your channel, I knew I had to add them to my journals. This would be an awesome way to use them. I know it’s not a book page but I was thinking I could sew the two together and make a cover for the inside pages. I also have all the pics that m y grandkids have colored with me. My mind is running a mile a minutes with ways to use them.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Now you have me excited too Jana!!! :) Super ideas!! :)

[@shirl57]

Pam, you are hilarious, such a joy to watch 😁 You always make me laugh. Love your creations. Thank you!!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

"Create with reckless abandonment!!" I love when you say!! Very inspiring!! These are so cool!! I have been making some wonky looking mini books as well but I am definitely going to make some of these!! Super fun!!!🤗😎❤😍 Tfs You are so funny!!😂😂

[@pampirtle6348]

Good morning Pam! While watching this morning I was seeing your covers as card fronts for Happy Mail to friends and family. Love, Love, Love the 3rd one the best, but all are fabulous. 🐥👍💟😁

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Thank you so much!

[@barbaranoble9748]

Super cute ideas Pam! Hope you are well! Tyfs! Stay safe! PS: I just had a thought about using the clear gesso on the book pages making your art work pop! I tried that and it really works fantastic! Another BRAVO for you. Love it!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Thanks so much Barbara!! Happy day to you! Thanks for hanging out with me!

[@cynthiat6505]

Type A here...went berserk when you folded the long page width wise...then you turned the second into an even “funner “ lengthwise notebook...reckless abandon is good for me...too type A...thank you Miss Pam. Then I start looking for the paper clip in order to point it out to you....too long in isolation!!!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOL...I hear you Cynthia, I am a bit of a Type A too! This is my therapy to chill out and not takes things too seriously in life. Thank goodness , it's only paper! ;) Woot! Woot! :)

[@bbsbacktobasics7695]

Hi Pam, I just love all the fun and creative ideas you come up with. I was wondering if you could do a video on how to use a digital processing for your goodies that you have in your Etsy. I bought a HP deskjet) print/scan/copy/web. And it is sitting there doing nothing because I don't know what to do. I sound stupid..but this gives me anxiety. I don't know what or how to get digitals from that to my machine. I like the way you teach and give visuals. Thanks in advance either way. 💕❤️💕

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Oh gosh I would love to help with that but everyone's printer communicates differently with their PC. Is it wired or wireless etc? My best advice to tackle this is to search for a youtube video with your exact printer model and search for "how to set up my HP printer ( model number)". I think that will get you to destination the fastest! :) Someone out there has done it and video taped it!! :) Also, get her out of her box if she is still in there. Sometimes they have quick start cards inside that make set up easier too! :) Hope these ideas help sunshine! I know how it feels to face the printer connection thing. You can do this!! So many possibilities await you! :)

[@suzettefaircloth7408]

Like Ozzy said, We're going off the rails on a crazy train.

[@terryciraulo1236]

Any tips on sewing two pieces of paper together? When I do they bubble in the middle and don't fold right after I sew them. Thanks!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Sure! Tip from the trenches!: Try using a zigzag stitch to completely cover where the 2 pieces connect, this way they truly become one :)

[@terryciraulo1236]

The Paper Outpost thank you! 💐

[@loriyounce5937]

What glue did you use to glue on the real flower? Does it require something different so it does not seep through and leech the color?

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Lori, I used Fabrifix, a clear silicone glue :) It works great for fabric to fabric or fabric to paper or paper to paper or even plant to paper ;)

[@candydean4577]

I watched you heading down the “garden path” and was telling you, No, don’t do it.....but you didn’t hear me! 😛🤓😉

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOL :)

[@sherryvanderpool4024]

I’m off to reckless abandonment lol

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Yay! Happy dance!! :)

[@bette-annflood835]

Oh . Question. What was the type of printer you said you have? My son will order for me if I know the name and model. Thanks.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Sure Bette-ann! I have the Epson ET (for Ecotank) 2720. Mine is a scanner and printer. Here is a link if you want to see it.:) www.amazon.com/dp/B07PW3Q92W/?ref=exp_thepaperoutpost_dp_vv_d Hope this helps!! :)

[@bette-annflood835]

Thank you. Yes. I'm seeing if my son can get it for me. They won't mail it to my address . But he has a computer business so he can get it for me. What do you get for your refill?

[@hollisbernstein2266]

I always have to laugh at your term "happy accident". When I was part of a creative team in advertising and something like that would happen (especially in front of a client) we would CYA by saying "exactly the way we planned it!".

[@tracker5849]

Do stickles ever truly dry to touch.or being able to put in amongst other paper...i love yours but have never bought any cause your always warning..DONT TOUCH

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOL...they are not bad when you make embellishments outside of a journal and one is disciplined to place the darn thing aside to dry ;) It becomes tricky when one is decorating pages in an already assembled journal and one wants to add a few dots here and there...but then you can't turn the page in forever... that's crafter time! ;)
