NEVER ENDLESS PAGE IDEAS for Junk Journals! 4 Ways to Use Antique Ledger in a JJ! The Paper Outpost!

[@happymailmagic]

I gotta admit... I think I'm officially addicted to watching your videos! Lol! I always learn at least one thing new (if not a whole bunch of things)!

[@karenlaw2002]

Pam you always have great ideas and your wit makes me smile 😃

[@misskit866]

PS Sandpaper--what a great idea! Thanks

[@janicereece3842]

Pam love your giggles. Cool way to use the paper!!!💜💜💜

I just love Sunny and you. I have a 12 lb Shih Tzu so just love the little ones.

Awww love your fur baby🤗

My favorite idea is the folding tip. What a fun find in a journal! I am getting lost in your beautiful digikits, Miss Pam!😍 They are all gorgeous! Because of my fixed income, I have to reign in bought crafting supplies to only what I will use immediately & regularly. I can't do all the paper hunting necessary for collecting old papers (not many stores for that here) so I'm thrilled with your digikits of papers, like the diary & postcard ones. I love love love the bookplates! I'm going to print them on the end/fly papers of aged books that I can get for free at several places. I'll adhere them to regular copy paper using double sided or washi tape. If orientation is important, I'll have fiddle with images to fit before printing. Anything else, like text block I'll be tearing up, I only have to fit the blank pages to the actual sheet of paper. You do beautiful work! Thank you so much, Miss Pam 🌹🦋🌼🦋🌹

[@theresamcnett7605]

I like it that you tore it the third time. That looks cool

Lovely Idea for Journals tfs Pam...Kia Kaha....

Hello Pam & Sunshine, just loved seeing the wonderful ways to use Antique ledger paper in journals. TFS

[@phylliswilliamstn]

Thanks for a fun tutorial and general good time. 😊

[@lizcolton9936]

Fabulous ideas! Always fun to watch you - thanks for sharing!

[@misskit866]

Love the cow story! Reminds me of a scene in Far from the Madding Crowd: a herd of sheep (not the brightest animals) eat too much of something, blow up, and fall over, groaning. The handsome farm manager quickly saves the day by puncturing each sheep with a sort of tube, which allows the trapped gas to escape. Must have been pretty stinky, right? Thanks for sharing your enthusiasms with us!

I love antique ledger paper more than anything! It is so interesting to hold in your hands and read what someone write decades or a century ago. Sunny is so adorable! 💕

[@mouseydeb3245]

Good morning Pam!💕 “A clean space and clean fingers” hahahaha. Yeah, right. Not here. 😄 And only after I had sewn a cover yesterday (trying a soft cover for a change) and set it on my desk (with it’s usual 7” of work space) did I truly realize the impending dangers of using fabric that has a lot of white (very white) background. 😫 Where was my overthinking when I needed it?! 😂 Have a wonderful week. Enjoyed the visit. 👍

I wish I had an 1800’s journal! I would probably want to keep it forever tho! Thanks for your great ideas. I am sending love to you and that sweet Sunny boy! 🥰. I don’t think I heard Holly this morning. Must be a sleepy morning in Fla. here in TX it’s going to be the 22nd day in a row of over 100* temps. 🥵 so Maggie had her early play and swim this morning while I enjoyed coffee by the pool. 🐩💖. Now on to craft while she naps!

Hello Pam😊 Love the old ledger papers and wish I had that hand writing now. Thanks for the ideas, enjoyed watching you create💜

[@number1nanaof2]

Hi Pam, I love how you love your old papers and books. I love the tactical feel of them. I much prefer to read a book rather than read the story from a notebook or pad or? 🤷‍♀️🤪 I am not a techie person. I also love watching and listening to you. Your voice is very soothing. Some voices just don't jive with my ears I guess. Anyway, just keep on doing what you're doing...we are loving it. Teach us how to do everything. 🥰 🤗

[@tcovington0711]

I've been re-watching the "heart throbs" series... and I decided to do a retro of the project... found a copy on ebay for $1.29 after my free book coupons...yeah me...so I'm going to do the entire series one day at a time...I spent last week w my grandkids and we did a full paper dying day...some of the colors 2- 11 yo and 1- 13yo can come up w are amazing...I now have enough dyed paper for many many journals...talk about a fun time...they live nearly 3 hours away so between my schedule n my daughters (I'm a lab scientist and she is a psychologist in an inpatient teen facility) it is hard to find days off at the same time...so we each take a couple days extra w our days off...and we pack every minute into 5 days...so thank you Pam for providing inspiration for things to do with the kids...next time we are doing several poster board collages and master boards as well as writing boards...can't wait to see what they come up with...both of my grandsons are budding artists...my middle one needs to be put into extra art classes...he blew me away w a free hand drawing of an Japanese cartoon character...no looking at a drawing...but as much as they watch those bizarre cartoons...he probably has the faces memorized...but then his dad is a fair artist...as was my mom...I can't draw a proper stick man...it looks like a man having a seizure...lol. .but thank you for the inspiration...any other ideas I can do w them next visit...

Great ideas! This journal is a beauty! I love Sunny's updates - too cute! Thank you! ❤

[@susananderson8428]

In case you don't have a sanding block, a fingernail file (Emory board) works really well too! Love the different ways to make/decorate pages. I needed that today!!

[@thehappycrafter9486]

I love watching you not only am I learning things but I think your so funny!

[@deborahbryant7045]

An idea for using those brittle papers is to put them between wax paper, or anything clear so to can see both sides and clip or hinge them into the journal.

[@janscott821]

That would look so cool!

[@tcovington0711]

Laminate and use as a master board...

[@Rebecca-zw4pm]

That is an excellent idea. I'm making my Xmas gift journals now and I will be including this. Thank you! 🥰

[@tlyria]

Hi Pam, LOVE your channel and look forward to seeing your videos as soon as they arrive. I was wondering if you could do me a favor and do a video using the cards of rickrack and various seem bindings and piping that I seem unable to stop purchasing where ever I see them. Even the packaging is wonderful for collage pockets and tucks. . I am a visual person so if you could use some of the stuff in a video it would give you a video and me a way forward. I can't be the only one with a box or three okay 5 boxes of the stuff. I think some new ideas and a fresh perspective would help me out a lot. I do not want to horde the stuff. Help a 50+ girl out!

[@jennifershaw1815]

You make me laugh. I just love watching you.

[@cindyburns7667]

Great tips, thank you

[@elizabethromanczuk8958]

My father did the same thing when our cows ate too many apples. I was little when that happened when we lived on our farm so many years ago. Love the ledger paper.

[@sundayze]

My dad was an Ag Teacher and when I was about 11, we drove out to one of his student's farm. They had a bloated milk cow. I was told to wait in the truck. Dad assessed the situation and they decided to plunge a knife in the side of the cow's belly, which Dad did. From the look on everyone's faces, I was glad I stayed in the truck. It must have smelled really bad. I was worried about the cow, but Dad said they sewed up the cow's belly and she was doing just fine. I hadn't thought about that day in years, but your story reminded me. :)

[@lalagamma4452]

Wonderful ideas Pam ❤️🐞💕

[@scrappingandcrafting2229]

The one ledger (up and down tuck) had last name that is a family name of mine. I wonder if he was related to me? 😆 so cool!!

[@patriciaruppert201]

Hi Pam. I love the ideas for using old ledger pages. And I love how you put a story with the papers. So much nostalgia in those ledger papers. I love looking at vintage items. Big hugs to all and an extra pet to Sunny and a nut for Holly. ❤️❤️

[@leannel1381]

Oh man this is awesome! I used to keep a ledger for work…….until they went digital………I so wish I could get my hands on it now…….. thanks as always! 📕📕📕📕📕📕📕

Hi. Pam where can I get your list for your never ending page ideas for junk journaling. Please. Really live your work and your quirky comments in your videos. 😁

[@heathersullivan8494]

Always love watching your videos Pam. Thanks for sharing and spending part of your day with us. Personally I like paper clipping the old ledger pages to my journal. It’s such an authentic piece that I don’t want to ruin. ☺️

[@annthompson5124]

I like to preserve some of my really old papers so I like your idea to make a copy of favorite old and probably irreplaceable paper items and aging the copy to use in your journal. I haven't tried copying directly onto aged or distressed paper, but that's a thought. Also if you save a digital copy you can enjoy it over and over😀. And I agree with another comment about putting double sided or very fragile paper pieces in a see through pocket. I discovered that clear plastic recipe card sleeves are useful. Of course you lose the feel of that wonderful old paper😒

[@La1Senora]

Because it seems like many of y'all are serious about authentic old papers, I thought I'd share a good source of information. Kelly of Book and Paper Arts creates altered books of mixed media art. While she uses junk journalling techniques, her art IS different than junk journalling. Living in Europe, most of the materials she uses are antique. I'm hooked on her flip throughs because they're little galleries of antique papers. Her best tip, IMHO, is adhering end/fly pages of books, tracing paper, and vellum to standard copy paper to print on them. kzbin.info

[@ambicityous9075]

Good morning Pam🌞 I hope think you're so very talented and an amazingly inspirational teacher. And I thank you for sharing that with all of us.👍😀 I wanted to say that you introduced me to inking and embossing and I absolutely love it.☺️I recently bought a Sizzix Big Shot and once I figured out the process I was hooked. I spend hours embossing and inking envelopes, etc. It's soooooo much FUN!☺️Thank you big time.🤗My very best wishes to you, Poppa and family always. Stay well and safe. Please keep up your inspirational postings, hope you never run out of ideas.💡✅💖👍👏👏👏

[@ajsinspiredlife665]

Love all the different uses! I often struggle with just making a page for no reason but I love how you created It just to admire 💕

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

Pam... that second project, the brittle paper you couldn't find a date on. Look close at the piece you glued into the journal (deliberately separated pieces, love it!!!!). At the bottom middle one, it said "rec'd pay't jun 22 (sorry, its paused and that spot is blurry), 70. 70 is the key... 1870 is my guess based on the prices. There ya go =D Just wish I could make out the huge expense on the 1st line (18+$), what it was for, but my thought is a type of grain or seed or something to plant/for farming. But they bought PINEAPPLES!!! Did you see that????? Edited 2 add as I watch... shame we can't have smell-o-vision, so i could smell that old paper, too - i always loved smelling books, new and old... paper... books... such a multi-sensory experience.

[@lindakealey6946]

Love these ideas! I have purchased a couple Fundles now, and I was wondering what you do to remove the moldy odor of aging paper? My mom made a scrapbook in the first year of marriage in 1944 and it’s full of beautiful ephemera that smells pretty strong. Any ideas would be welcome.

[@cathyhaynes2700]

A light misting with a solution of vinegar and water may help. Usually when the vinegar dries it has no odor and it can help remove moldy smell. Just don't saturate Vinegar kills dust mites if you were to ever need that info.

[@blaaaaaaarrrrr]

Lay it out in the sun for a couple of days. I just recently got some old smelly musical notes from a flea market. I layed them out in the blasting sun for days. Always turned pages. The smell is almost gone. Just be careful when there is ink or other pigments: these could fade by being exposed to the sun.

[@lindakealey6946]

I want to clarify that the materials in the Fundles I’ve received do not have an odor. I was curious what Pam had done to render them odorless.

Please forgive my ignorance, but I have a question I may have missed the answer to. What does "never endless" mean? Because wouldn't it be endless ideas? I don't understand and think I may have missed something? Do two negatives make a positive? I normally would not ask, but it stumps me every time I watch one of your videos which is a lot! Thank you in advance for any clarification!
