Hey Pam! Listen, I AM ONE YOUNG BLACK GAY MAN that absolutely LOVESSSSSSSSSS ME SOME YOU!!!! You have literally inspired me to start creating again!!! I have rediscovered my love of writing and P A P E R all thanks to YOU!!!! I am surely, not sure how I stumbled across you but I am so glad I did!!!! I am definitely a new fan!!! I even sent my 10 year old niece a few links from your channel as well, she's a little crafty and needed some loving kindness in her creativity!!!! Keep It Comin' Sista!!!!! We Love You!!!!!

[@sunshinegirl8214]

Great little project Pam! Thx!

[@ScaryCheri]

Pam, you are wonderful with my coffee in the morning. 😂🤣🤣♥️😂

[@Happysewist]

Right? Better than the news that’s for sure. A nice inspiring start of any day!

[@shielahalvorson9424]

Finally I have found a crafter with a great sense of humor. Maybe it is because you are my age. Thanks for the humor and great craft ideas. I'll be Bing watching all of your videos😂

[@annettebo3355]

"Glædelig jul" means merry Christmas in Danish. Love from Annette in Denmark 💗

[@laurelh29]

The Commentary was so funny! I love the project for any holiday..!

[@Happysewist]

I can’t tell you how much I Love your running dialogue-you are a naturally funny person! Knowledgeable, too.😊

[@brendalaster]

this is a great idea for gifts! I just made a "travel" theme one for a friend. As an idea for others, I used the back flap folded over the cover to close it. I used small pieces of velcro to keep it closed.😃 I also added a small bag of travel themed stickers in the pocket. Just ideas in case anyone likes 👍🏼 Thanks Pam for this video!

[@GwynWalker]

Thanks for sharing great ideas!

[@cathymayfield2064]

[@ruthannepayler6969]

What a great idea! There will be a couple babies to be born in the family and a couple of brides as well - baby journal and first year of marriage gratitude. Greetings from 🇨🇦🍁 Canada.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

A big hello to a fellow Canadian and paper lover :)

[@ClaudiaBauman1111]

“That’s not the dog-it’s a pile of rocks!” Why I love Pam at the Outpost! 😘😜

[@brendalaster]

yeah that made me lol 😆

[@holyxuxa]

I was just about to say the same comment! She's hilarious!

[@jjjoy7887]

My response, exactly! I so want to have coffee with Pam….

[@christinegray6819]

I know!! I laughed out loud!

[@sojournerDKJ]

I love her! She had me cracking up!

[@janemurray2563]

you make me giggle. Such fun.

[@k.susieroloff4801]

Cute booklet......😻

[@lindafowlerjohnston]

OMG, you are a hoot!!! Love the voices and the words. The little book is a great idea too.

[@ritabjerstedt7386]

Wonderful idea and so pretty .

[@trntrry43]

The crop a dial punch is the best tool! I was poking the holes with a needle until you opened my eyes!!

[@sherryoliver3215]

So happy for the ideas of how to make Christmasy stuff without special Christmas papers!

[@danaeroberts684]

Soo much fun!! Great little gift ideas!!

[@thepaperatelier.]

Here I am watching this video again! One of my absolute favorites. These little books come out so beautiful.

[@Elainepote]

MissElaineous here...Wow Pam! I just discovered your channel on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. I've made 2 mini junk journals already. And just with stuff around the house. I've had some of my crafting supplies for years not knowing what to do with them, now I know. But one thing I couldn't find/didn't have...a pen slim enough to fit into the little front side pocket of the minis. So, I made my own flat pen. I also decided to hand stitch the pocket instead of gluing or machine sewing. It's SO CUTE! I was worried about screwing up, but every time I made a booboo, I just put something else on top, it works. If I knew how to send pics, I would. Thanks so much for the info/video.

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

Use tissue paper red and green. Fun so any ideas are fly’n around my brain. 💯❤️✨🙏🏻🥰😂🎊

[@drinkbooks]

Ooooo... this could be adapted to be signatures for a larger project... lots of pockets and fun signature covers...

[@kathrynhelm4176]

I love when my family comes for a visit...really, I do...but they sure mess with my free time to watch my crafting videos. I’m watching you at 9:30 pm when I usually watch first thing in the morning with my cup of coffee. 😝🤣😂. I didn’t think I’d like the yellow paper but now that you’ve inked and decorated it I actually do. 👍👍🤣. ❤️🥰

[@flamingo.and.co.26]

Sweet, I was gifted thinner scrapbooking paper. This will work great with them!

[@lindasmith6786]

Love how you got so much into that small but perfectly formed journal, folder. Thanx

[@maineiacts]

Dear PAM!!!! YOU'RE *THE GREATEST*!!!!!!! 😘🤗😇💚💗💐🌲🍁Thank You So Much!!!!

[@janscott821]

What a quick and easy project! Great gift! TYFS! BTW sometimes my paper talks to me too 🤫shh! LOL!

[@michelel3372]

What a fun little journal. Thank you for sharing!

[@janoirmoon5099]

Thanks Pam. This is a great idea. And I love your cheeriness so early in the morning. It makes a happy start to the day!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

You are so welcome!

[@lisaedmondson1312]

It is Danish and say Merry Christmas...I love this..

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Thanks so much for this info!

[@adrianblackberry9327]

Just had to pause Pam. Christmas and Yellow go well for us Southern Scrapers as it reminds us of the Beach, the Hot Sun and a chilled Chardy!! Love and blessing Tassie Joy

[@kathykorb9982]

One of the best fast little journals! Thank you! The fact that it is Christmas is a bonus!

[@crazyacres]

In place of the pencil perhaps a peppermint stick or candy cane! So cute!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Fab idea!!!

[@stacylinn3102]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video Pam! I am going to rewatch it and make a couple of these!

[@patriciaruppert201]

Well great way to use a 12 x12 sheet of paper. Simple and easy to do. Have a great day. Blessings and hugs. ❤️❤️

[@louisetripoli6831]

This was the best!! I can't wait to make one.THanks!

[@frazzledrobin5175]

So cool! Guess what the ladies of the church are getting this year!?! Thank You 💜

[@cindyn3383]

Pam, you are such an inspiration!

[@handmadewithlovebytraceyan3289]

Love them,I don't think they necessarily need to be decorated christmassy, even though a Christmas gift,as recipient will most likely be using all year around, I think they are adorable

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

Was thinking the same thing =D If for gifts (not sale), you can even gear the whole thing to things the recipient loves, maybe even introducing them to the fun world of junk journaling by giving them a "mini kit". Like say, Sally loves Unicorns, Galaxies, and fancy sweets. Maybe use a galaxy paper for the cover, add in "sweets-colored" paper in signature, throw in some unicorn cutouts, sweets stuff, star shapes, etc. A mini stamp pad, a glue stick, and a tiny stamp of a star or a candy or unicorn and maybe a nice glittery gel pen. There you go... a beginner's set, set up especially for Sally, so she'll be more inclined to give it a go. She doesn't have go "full junk journal", either, but use it however she likes. Glueing in some of the univorns, stamping a star, doodling with the gel pen, but mostly just using it as maybe a gratitude journal or an ongoing shopping/wish list. The stamp, ink pad, glue stick, and gel pen are optional to toss in, too.. money can be VERY tight, but it's an idea. Sorry for any typos, i gave myself acrylics last night, and my nails are usually super short, and theseare short, but woah, it's wierd and hard to type on this phone! =D But yeah... for gifts, I'd try to gear ittowards things the recipient really likes. Great gift for guys, too. Fishing/hunting/outdoors themes, various sport themes, cars, motorcyles, vintage vehicles, tools, etc. Lots of cool things=D Thank you, Pam! Trying to stay awake, so oncehubsheads to work, I can rummage & find a few sheets of 12x12 & I'm thinking of trying with a 6x6, too... but I really wanna try to make 1 of these for hubs & 1 for me. I think he'd love having something cool he can whip out at work & jot down his task list in. Pondering... after I getthe basic idea down, adapting tomore of a TN style, so we can change out the signature quickly... may have to strengthen the cover paper. Idunno. Just thoughts.

[@andream6533]

I’ve been so inspired by going down the paper outpost rabbit hole! You’re a joy to listen to as well, I watch with a smile on my face from all the funny things you say!

[@tamela7782]

Hi Pam. I'm late to the party but I just made one of these with you. Great piece. Thanks for all your suggestions.

[@wrapsbyrachel5571]

"heard of the kush, tried the kush, liked the kush" really can mean different things to different people

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOL happy to hear this!! kush kush kush :)

[@GwynWalker]

Lol!!! True.

[@adrienneglenn7311]

That was a sweet and fast little booklet. Will be trying it. Thank you.

[@eugenebellion9142]

Love it, love it, love it. Thanks a bundle.

[@dedepyle7046]

Howdy Pam! I just made 19 of these over Thanksgiving holiday for Christmas gifts. They were a huge hit for those that received them. Thank you so much for the inspiration and great ideas!!!

[@lynncannizzaro4425]

Just made one along with you! So many laughs... thank you...lots of fun on a Saturday morning...

[@pattscollectons1234]

Fabulous little booklets. Thank you for the idea.

[@kellylea3575]

Great little booklet, could date each page and use it as a monthly journal for December. Wishing you and the whole crew a happy weekend. ❄☃❄😀

[@TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

What a great idea! That kind/size of December Daily--I think I could handle--and they'd be easy to collect year after year and display with the other holiday decor--revisiting years gone by...I love it!! 🎄😎

[@kellylea3575]

@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol oh that sounds awesome to keep and display each year.... The book ...(👻) ...of Christmas past.

Christmas in June!!! What a way to get ahead of the season! Can't wait to get started!!! 🎉

[@pampusscat4513]

Thanks Pam for the good idea

[@sybilmccullers6291]

I just finished making 30 little Christmas journals for my sewing group. Wish I had waited and had seen this video first. I cut my 12 x 12 paper down and then cut pieces for pockets inside. This would have been SOOOOO much easier. Pam, You Amaze ME!!!! Maybe I will make more later that are non-Christmassy and use this process.

[@TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

ugh--don't ya' just hate when that happens??!! 🤦🏻‍♀️. However, now we know (better!!) Yay for us 👍🏼😎

[@debhat]

Who would have thunk to use yellow smellow paper for a Christmas project? Only you, Pam! Going to poach the ideas you shared to make Christmas card fronts using my un-Christmas scraps and neglected ink pads and stamps. Thank you for the incredibly timely inspiration. Cheers from Denver CO!

[@judithanderson9727]

As always your inspiration is appreciated

[@elizabethtanti7884]

Thanks Pam. I have so many one sided 12x12 papers that I don’t like, this has inspired me to give them a new life! I love this little booklet so cute!

[@MonaLisa-xc5dm]

me too!

[@joycemccullough7856]

Great idea! I have tons of 12x12 paper from my scrapbooking days! Thanks so much for sharing your process. 💛

Very fun!!!! No cutting is fabulous!😀

Thank you Pam for saying 'you get better as you go' (paraphrasing), that is encouraging. Also all the mandatory stuff is not a necessity 🤭👍🧡

[@ClaudiaBauman1111]

😂

[@sandybahn]

I like to use a mousepad for a cushion while stamping. This is a great project and a wonderful way to use up the ugly 12 x 12 papers

[@lericamims]

You are so cheerful!

[@katedolan7030]

Love this idea Pam. I know what I’m making my daughter-in-law for a stocking stuffer. Or… maybe her December birthday.😀

Adding vintage wrapping paper behind the stamped image would be awesome.

Love this Pam. Thank you

[@connied3309]

Another great video with ideas to get creative. I don’t have washi tape, but I would have used the folded edge of the bag or an envelope and just slipped it over the open edges on the paper and glued it on.

[@lindarogers6209]

LOVE LOVE LOVE these. TFS

[@maryregan4099]

Great quick and easy idea

[@thefeatheredhag4279]

If you don’t have washi tape use masking tape and grunge it up with ink, love that look

At the same time you inspire me, I think of my projects and possibilities and I feel better!
