Junk Journal! Weekend Junk Journalette! How to Make a Weekend Junk Journal! Part 1 The Paper Outpost

[@melodine707]

Those would make SUPER CUTE gifts to keep on hand. I can see it for a bride, a busy student, or an urban field guide for one theme.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Fantastic ideas! :)

[@jaidehazelwood7962]

Pam, you make me want me to move to Florida (I’m actually moving to Denver from TX)-but not in a crazy stalker way-just as a “let’s craft together and visit a while” type of friendship. You are the reason I was inspired to junk journal, and I love your craft ideas as well as your enthusiastic personality and videos. I will be making the trifold journal soon-perfect to keep up with my moving to-dos. I just wanted to tell you what a positive influence you are! Thank you!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Jaide Hazelwood! You have warmed my heart with your beautiful words! :) Happy and smooth moving! Pam :) !!

[@kimberlywalker1015]

I feel you are TRULY the queen of paper projects ... what you do is beautiful and genius. These are quite lovely.🙂⚘🙂

[@quirkykaleidoscope]

I'm a newborn babe to all this. I have watched a number of your videos and am so inspired! I am a very creative person, so I appreciate another creative soul! I love your personality as much as the things you share! I have gathered some things and am ready to express myself and become immersed in all this paper and such! Thank you so much! ❣️🦚🌴🐘🐫❣️

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Quirky Kaleidoscope! Thanks and what's more fun than creating with reckless abandon! :) Pam :) !!

[@1laurelei1]

As someone who uses labels in their work frequently, I can recommend "pinching" a tiny corner of your sticker TOWARD THE BACKING. The paper backing will fold together, away from the sticker, and the sticker will stand up, making it simple to peel away.

[@Patricia.R.]

Reckless abandon is strong with this one... grabs brown dauber, and plants it firmly in the green ink...”this is brown” ... hahaha I love it. We should all be so reckless! ❤️❤️❤️

[@cindyreseck4429]

Dear Pam...NOBODY HAS MORE FUN THAN US!! LOVE YOUR VIDEO

[@marykillen8303]

I love how you craft with wonderful chaos! So many channels show perfect work spaces, perfect organization, and I just can’t achieve that ! Your bench looks like mine, as it should, well used, stained and messy! True art comes from creative chaos ♥️

[@ericaj.m.1780]

I'm always glad when you do things without sewing as I don't have a machine

[@jessicacarter8925]

I am making this as a gift to mail to my sister who is home alone. I will have to watch the “special effects” she is Zen. I am 100% Pam.....

[@barbara-dj1uo]

I dearly love love love this!!!! The tree stencil certainly set the stage for the design theme.

[@jacquiegregor1886]

I find comfort here and now in my own space. Thank you

[@kimberlywalker280]

These are TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL! I DEFINITELY can see CHRISTMAS GIFTS...BEAUTIFUL. 😃🎄🎁🎄😃

[@lynnmartin5141]

Your videos are phenomenal! I love how you interact with the paper etc and your audience, I’m going to watch all your videos, pretty sure I’ll be saving most of them, totally adore everything you make, especially your ability to produce a masterpiece from your scraps. Thank you xx😁🧡🧡

[@CarrieRushoway]

Fabric pocket!! I never thought to do that. Fun!.

[@lindabosico835]

I love how you explain in detail. Thanks Pam

[@cherylgoble6421]

Love that tree stencil. You make things look so easy and fun!!

[@wvglitter7761]

I enjoyed having coffee with you this afternoon. This felt more like a virtual craft date than anything I've watched! Loved the sentiment of the bluebird story, thanks for sharing that 💗💖 and the "it's a "Pam ran by with a stencil" drawing" moment was great! We became friends in that moment... lol. Thank you for inviting me back into creating and crafting again, I've missed it!

[@trishchaney7212]

Finger tool finger tool. ♥️

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Oh yes the mighty finger tool :)

[@YveWin]

This can be used for so many things! Ideas already. Very cute. 😌

[@jacquiliddell1811]

So pleased I have you to watch Pam as you give good ideas and you give me such a laugh, as I am self isolating here in England and it’s going to get very boring xx

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Happy to help in any way I can Jacqui! :) Have fun no matter what! :)

[@sondranoble1775]

Pam.. You are so cute and so fun to watch..thank you for sharing your talents

[@kerrywalker3005]

This project is absolutely gorgeous -- can't wait to try it out! Stumbled on your channel by accident the other day, and boy am I glad I did. You are SO creative! Love your videos!

[@donnamatoi5256]

Pam, these are adorable! I’m going to make some for my family sisters (our parents were friends when we were young and we grew up together and have 50+ yrs of friendship) for Valentines Day! Love your energy and sparkle! Thanks for the great idea! ❤️

[@ThePaperOutpost]

This is such a beautiful idea Donna! :)

[@christinawilliams2601]

I stumbled upon your videos in my suggestions a few weeks ago. ( I started watching and making junk journals about a year ago, but I have been crafting for years). I feel like you are my long lost crafting buddy. My craft space is what I like to call "creative chaos" and I appreciate that not everything is perfect, clean, and organized. I love your puns, jokes, charisma, and eclectic style/personality. I laughed out loud at the "trifold.....I'll try to fold it" So glad I found your channel! I love this idea and this will be great to make for my junk journal pen pal in the UK! Can't wait to see what else you create! My mind is like a hamster wheel and so are my creative spurts. I love when I find makers that are similar in personality to myself! Happy creating! You are so much fun!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Christina! I am so happy you are here! We are going to have a lot of fun together :)

[@kathrynbooth1094]

You brighten my day more than you can imagine, you are a prescious soul with an amazing gift and your even more amazing to share it with us xxxxx

Magic video, plain folders stepped forward for the makeover. Soon we have nips and tucks, then they are shaped wrapped and coloured. Yep there they are shimmying on camera looking drop dead gorgeous. You are a master of imagination a wonderfully create artist who's warm encouragement helps us to have fun and create a little magic ourselves. Many thank FABULOUS VIDEO. 👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Wendy Stapleton! You make my heart sing! :) Pam :) !!

[@1jmass]

For some reason your new “da da” tune reminds me of the music played while a magician is doing a magic trick. Not the Houdini type, but more like pulling a never ending scarf out of his sleeve.

[@judithanderson9727]

Hyou are adding gluey joy to my morning 🌄 💕

Purple is my favorite color... I love this! Wish I had more motivation to make more things. I love watching you create and chat ❤️

"Who has more fun than us? Hm?" :) I'm giddy to try this!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Christy Langejans! Best words ever! :)

[@crapemyrtlejournals]

@@ThePaperOutpost I just made good on my wish to try this and made a journalette and taught 4 pre-teen/teen girls to do it, too. I think they are hooked. I live/work at a children's home in Honduras, and we have turned a stack of magazines into treasure.

[@CarrieRushoway]

So cute! Perfect for a gift!

[@rnbsteenstar]

I got to give this a shot! I bet this would be perfect for even within another journal.

[@scrapbookedmemories7736]

I'm using brochures from the places I vacation at and then doing these techniques.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Very cool idea Amy! :)

[@DawnConnor-wh2ln]

I loved this idea but I didn't have any plain folders so I had to go to Walmart to buy a few to make this!!!!

[@morgen10hoffman]

you usually make me laugh but this time you say you make blooper mess every time you make something and that is exactly what i do every time too!! I just love watching your videos!!! Debbie from Spokane, Wa.

Your videos are so much fun and helpful at the same time Blessings Jo

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Cookie's Babies! Many blessings to you! :)

[@outtaredzhead4441]

Another fantastic idea! These would be great to make as a family or group project, before a trip or retreat! Then all those special memories would be preserved.

Those are excellent ideas :)

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

As always, very quick and easy artsy ideas. Thanks for the "bluebird" idea. .What I was particularly impressed with were your tree mask...I've got to find one of those. The stencil on amazon just won't do the same thing. I know, it may be a challenge to find anything like that tree. Sigh. I also LOVED that easy fold. How fabulous for attaching fabric tautly. And finally, your glue storage. I will have to try that too. I love watching your process, always see more than expected. Thanks!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Cass! Good news! You can find that exact 3 stencil listed in my description Box Below each video :) You can also click on my Amazon store and find the tree stencil listed there. A Link to my Amazon store is also listed in the drop down section below each video :)

[@anitapearson2977]

Pam, I'm watching again. I almost finished the one I started. I haven't been up to working on things lately. I'll see about tomorrow. Thank you for all you do to share your talent and creativity.

Hi Anita! Nice to hear from you! :) No worries, take it easy :) I am here for you when you are back at the table :) Nice seeing you on the facebook group! :) Be well my sweet friend!

[@katherinesmith3948]

I think that JJ is becoming so popular because Of our generation we want everything to last and not have to replace. So by taking our special trinkets even to give them away it has great satisfaction. I have spent my whole life collecting stuff my Momentos and not knowing why. Than one day I turn to pounds page I figured it out and I got a lot of work

[@katherinesmith3948]

Turned to Pams page and my whole life changed I figured it out. It was my best day. Thank you Pam s for being there for us

“Trying not to cross pollinate” = immediately swaps to brown dauber and daps up green ink. So feeling that!

[@elenaion3736]

I want to be more active this year. I'm currently 6 months postpartum and overweight, I need to go more outside walking with my 5 year old daughter and my baby boy. I'm thinking to create something similar but with more pockets and envelopes for leafy stuff and flowers that I want to dry and use up in my journal. It is a simple yet beautiful concept. And ading also small tags for the thought of the day.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Sounds wonderful Elena! :) I hear you! I get out each morning and evening to get some movement. A stand-up desk can help too :)

Hi, I absolutely enjoy your videos and luv luv the humour. I made one of these little journals yesterday after watching the video and then got up this morning at 430 and made another one. What fun and the results are fast. I think I might call mine "Weekender brochures" (A great way to capture a fun weekend by writing about it!) Thank-you for sharing and for the fun!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Wow! That is awesome! I like that name "Weekend Brochure! " :)

[@aprildomer422]

Hi! You are SO loved! You brighten everyone's days & we're all so grateful to you for sharing all of your wonderful ideas! Thank you Pam!😊🐾💕ps. I see you putting your glue bottle, upside down, into some sort of fancy-schmansy looking holder. What keeps the glue IN the bottle? How come it doesn't leak out? Trade secret? 🤔

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi April, its actually a very l goofy way to store your fabrifix. It will leak out. First I cut a water bottle in half and placed some washi tape around the top edge so it would not me sharp. Then I placed my bottle upside down with the lid one...some glue oozed out...then it built up about and inch deep of glue and I had the"brliliant" idea of putting my glue bottle in there without the lid. It worked for a while,..but alas, the glue oozed out again. Then I stuck the red cap into the ooze and thought that might be the ticket.I still get some ooze but not much ;) It allows me to get fast dabs of glue for video taping but there must be a better way! I will find it! :)

[@aprildomer422]

Absolutely BRILLIANT!! If it works, even kinda, sorta, it’s a good idea! I’ll put on my thinking cap as well and between us ( and the 2.3 million fans you have) & perhaps we will come up with other ideas. I like this solution a lot tho, I’m gonna try it myself. Thank you darlin’!😊🐾💕
