NEUTRAL JUNK JOURNAL Hidden Spine & Signature Pages! :) Easy Beginner Tutorial! The Paper Outpost :)

[@asthepaperturns]

"Can we bring in a honking professional?!?!" I am a very visual person, and I flashed an image of a "professional" bursting through the door honking a horn. Cracking me up Pam! Love It!

[@mouseydeb3245]

I saw the ‘professional’ wearing a lab coat and booties. 😆We are a very ‘visual’ lot. 😆 Pam has caused me to choke, laugh, cough, spew coffee on my ipad more than once. Gotta love her. 👍

[@denisestreitman3916]

Stenciling that spine made it look even more aged, great idea

[@mouseydeb3245]

Good morning Pam and outpost gang! 💕Love watching journals going together. Thanks for doing a 4 signature again. My 3 sig and 5 sig seem to go fine, but my 4 signature …, welll… wonky be the word. 🫣 Rainy (again 😛) here, therefore, I fully intend to craft my brains out today. 😂 wishing all a safe, warm, happy holiday season. 🤗 Everyone have a great Saturday. 💕

[@BarbaraEMarshallCampbell]

Hi Deb, I started my first real DIY journal yesterday. Of course I take much longer, so back to the soft journal from a magazine that I covered last night. Punched holes for my single 5.85 × 8.85 signature in my 6 x 9. I started with tiny folders I was sewing signatures into but this one has substance to it. Making one each for my nieces. I'll be coming back to this video another time though. I watched the first part. Have fun.

@@BarbaraEMarshallCampbellWelcome to the crazy, delightful, frustrating, joyful, wonderful world of journal making! 🤗 I have always been a slow journal maker, and I’ve made more than a few. The primary goals are to relax, delight in creating, and enjoy the journey. 👍

[@lindahowe2293]

Hi Pam! Hoping your boo boo heals up quickly. Thankfully it's your left thumb! Thank you for walking us through the journal-making process. I watch you very closely and learn something everytime! I really like the hidden spine and will be making many that way. I still need to unpack and set up the craft room, so until then, I watch your great videos and cut up book pages! Have a great day, whenever you see this! 🥰

Good Morning Sunshine and Pam, have a super fantastic weekend 💜 Sherry

Good morning, Pam and Paper Outpost Fam! Enjoying my first cup of coffee on a foggy Ocala morning while watching Pam create with reckless abandon! Off to a great start of my day! 💗🙂

Hi Pam and family. Always a pleasure to spend time with y'all and I thank YOU for working so hard to always give us wonderful, new, and exciting content. Love and hugs, MK ❤️🤗🌵🤗❤️

[@kiminalaska9363]

I love the more in depth journals and the ones that can be made quickly. I really loved Sunshines pup date today

[@letha57]

Good morning a day late. Thanks again Pam.

[@mickginny823]

Good Morning Pam 🌞 great hidden spine tutorial 📚 I have not yet attempted one, I just cover the spine with lace or fabric!! About time to give it a try🤔 Another fun video and you do work too hard(lucky us)!!😊🦜🐦🐦🐕 Hugs to all Ginny

[@susanstemmet607]

Loving this neutral junk journal. Quite tempted to make one. Poor Sunshine, hope you are feeling better.

[@ruthiev618]

Good Morning! That sandy block is a game changer!:I need one in my life

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

They really are amazing! I got mine at Dollar Tree, i think. I have seen them in various other places - home improvement stores, walmart, etc. I also use those disposable nail files (emory boards) for sanding. Honestly, it was a huge game-changer when I got my 1st sanding block (Mr Sandy is its nickname in my house, lol). I refuse to craft without one nearby now =D (edited to add:) Ok, that would be a partial untruth. I'll craft without Mr Sandy, but it sure is useful!

Bookmark!!! I have bookmarked this session for all time--- will help me to review ALL the steps. Thank you

[@leannel1381]

37:21 wow! So excited you used a hidden spine as I have beautiful cover I do not want to take apart! I love this series, wish I didn’t have to work anymore so I could just sit and craft! Lol! Love this series so much! Pam no professionals needed. You make this journey so real…..I am far from a strong crafter and your simplicity makes this journey so much fun! I love your line…..there are no mistakes in crafting…..❤️

[@lammilee1]

Hello Pam! Thank you so much for this video! I've been ready and looking for a hidden spine tutorial. I love how you "keep it real" since that is what most of us are dealing with. 😉 Great tips throughout! You and Sunny are adorable! 🥰

[@sharonwilson243]

There are so many ways to do a hidden spine. I'm learning something new. I've done it by covering that cupboard with fabric and gluing it and the fabric flaps down so i want to see how you fi this one. Thank you for showing many ways to do one thing.

[@WoodlandInspired]

Good morning Pam🤗 Awesome tutorial and you cover has turned out amazing. Thanks for sharing these great tips, have a good weekend. 💕

[@peggyb3397]

I've had good luck adding score lines down the hidden spine to give it a little bit of flexibility and curve. Great series Pam. TFS

[@barbaranoble9748]

It is so amazing how much I have learned from you since joining you in 2019! I truly thank you Pam! I still watch all of the videos that I’ve seen! You are still my favorite and will always be! Tyfs!

[@elainemyers4804]

Speedy recovery Pam! we love you!

[@karenb1073]

I know that it is just paper, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed with all the scraps so...I do sometimes use the paper scraps for my compost. That gives me beautiful flowers and veggies in the spring and summer.

[@danacolosimo5874]

Some great tips in this video😊😊love this book cover and always wondered how to attach a hidden spine in a curved book spine 😊TFS 😘😘😘😘😘😘 love you Sunny 🤗🤗🥰🥰

[@rjr618]

Good Morning Pam! The hidden spine is always a challenge for me. I always end up putting lace on the spine!

[@pennylp56]

Thank you so much for sharing a junk journal "creating journey" with us!!! I learn so much from your teaching us the process from beginning to end. Hope all is well with you, you're a dear.

[@denisestreitman3916]

Thx for the morning laughs, sorry, not laughing AT you but with you. Can’t remember EVER having the spine punching segment going smoothly….EVER. Misery loves company I guess. Thx for sticking with it

[@lorifitzgibbon3085]

Penny Pratt, I have to agree with you. These types of videos always teach me something new or are a good reminder on how to do things. It never fails. I punch a hole wrong in a signature, lol

[@linette146]

I can’t wait to see the finished product!

[@debbiebreen6276]

Love the hidden spine technique and the neutral tones, looks very vintage, have you ever considered making a junk journal for your family tree.

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

i love the hidden spine - thank you Pam - look forward to seeing what's next lol xx

[@patsimmons3727]

Love your videos. You inspire me and make me giggle, Pam.

Love these videos love watching can’t get enough of you Pam❤️

Pam: nice going. I love the neutral journal idea. Fun as usual. Thanks. Carol from California

[@doreethorpe4800]

I love the beginning to end tutorials. I made my first journal after watching one of your earlier video series. Great stuff! Thank you!❤

[@janistaylor7314]

Love this neutral journal. Thanks for all the great ideas!

[@mollymouse4900]

This is going to be a lovely journal. I must have a go at a neutral one.

[@bellnorton1691]

Such a creative way of binding.

[@michellejanossy4125]

Guide morning all! Loving this series! This is a wonderful reminder that not all of our journals have to be so bold to be beautiful. Enjoying the softness of the neutral tunes! ❤️

[@minkademko2335]

I keep running out of space on my crafting table in my craft room. I'm having trouble finding room for the different supplies, bolts and cuts of fabric, tools, works-in-progress, threads, yarns, twines, paints, glues, and a small toy collection. I got a floor loom recently and moved the dining room table over to fit it in. 3 industrial size sewing machines, a treadle, and 2 tabletop machines, and just tons of other craft items. I'm going to need a bigger house 😮

Hi Pam loving the process of this journal. Happy Sunshine feels better after his vitamin snafu. Have a wonderful day

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Pam & Sunshine, enjoyed the journal making, thanks for sharing. I just ordered the printed digi's and am so excited. Was going back and forth between another fundle or the printed digis, they won this time.

[@cajanbella3101]

So glad you doing this.

[@lesliecooper801]

I thought you made a spine on the last video. But this one is cool too.

[@jeannepadgett344]

Love watching these

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Good information P, enjoyed watching this video. Thanks.

[@laurelhess2836]

I had to laugh as you were talking about how to mark the top. One of the very first tips I ever got from you was to always put the middle hole a bit north of center so that you knew right way up. I always use that tip.

[@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore]

I'm really enjoying this series with the neutral journal. I have never done a hidden spine (yet) but I have an old Readers Digest that I might mend up enough to use it now that I know how. Thank you for making this look easy. ☺♥

[@minkademko2335]

Hey, to bend chip board, how about a "scoring gadget" ?

[@Gretchen_T.]

I have to try the no sew spine.

[@leannesutter9429]

Thank you!!

[@LeeLeeCreates]

Good morning Pam and all my Paper Outpost friend. I hope everyone is enjoying this holiday time! i was wondering Pam do you use any different paper for the first page in the signature? Sending. a soecial hi and lots of extra pets and snuggles to Sunny!❤

[@317susan]

Really enjoying this series of videos! I do beg to disagree with you- I am the worst measurer in the world. Even my Fiskars paper trimmer defeats me- I think the measurement is fine (& usually isn't), so do better just eye-balling it. Love my Crop-a-Dile also- it IS satisfying to punch those holes. And I want to thank you for the sanding block tip- I find myself reaching for it all the time; it's so handy! Glad Mr. Sunshine is okay after the vitamin incident. His "Pup-Lick" service announcements are the best.

[@pennynewton4450]

Good morning Pam and Sunny hope all is well. How is Holly and the love birds I haven't heard them in the background lately?

[@paulapetlowany2736]

I wanted to make a pocket-size journal for a chef. Can you advise on making a journal for a guy and what embellishments you might use? Thank you!

[@katelickey3466]

I'm new to this fun journey and I have a question: Is there a way to strengthen the spine of a soft cover once the journal is already completed?

[@rhondasmith27]

This is great, I was wanting to do a hidden spine. But, do you put specialized paper between the signature?

[@lorifitzgibbon3085]

Thanks for another great video on this journal. Another question.. if I add envelopes, do I count them as pages?

[@barbsjournalcreation3668]

😊

[@denisestreitman3916]

Oh No, another wounded warrior!!! What did you do to thumbkin?

[@tinaturgeon2824]

Pam, I was wondering if you take all your pages out of your old books when you get them or do you chose them when you do each project ?

[@kathrynhughett1331]

I discovered your channel just recently. I'm going through chemotherapy and developed neuropathy in my fingers and toes. I'm told it's temporary. I can't wait to make a Pirates, Mermaids, and sea creatures junk journal. Do you have a digikit with those kinds of images?

In the previous signature video you used a cereal box for the spine. You even stenciled it. What happened to that? N9w yo7 are using a chipboard piece.

[@veessayin2878]

Poor pup. I had to have my tonsils/adenoids removed when I was 30. Hubs was beside himself worrying over my sudden & scary weight loss bc I would only eat just enough apple sauce or yogurt to get the crushed up pain pill down. So...he spiked my apple sauce with pain med AND a multi vitamin. If I thought it hurt going down, that was a cake walk compared to the other way! Now (over 30 yrs later) he won't even put cream in my coffee without my express permission. 🤣

what happened to you thumb? I see a bandage on it. Never mind you answered my question.
