“Embrace your inner snooze.” ❤ LOL

[@beaendert7391]

Pam I truly enjoy your joyful energy and I am always inspired by your videos. Seeing Sunny's face is a treat but I have a request. I would love to see your face from time to time.

[@beaendert7391]

Forgot to add that I loved the Bees.

[@cathlynballard8409]

Love these ideas. It is so hard for me to throw away envelopes and little boxes; it’s become an obsession, now I need to move to a bigger junk room!

[@KristenHigh]

Great idea.. Thanks for sharing your Monday AM with us.. I am so happy that you NEVER run out of ideas..

[@robertakeirn1870]

We should call the watercolor pencil “Fred”, love it!😂

[@user-wd4xv7cr5h]

It's ok to love your own stuff. I love my accordion journal that I made. I also love your videos and your fun to listen to.

[@kelliscoffeecrime]

Awesome! Got plenty of envelopes and scraps!

[@marygranado5972]

Good morning Pam and all crafters ❤🎉

[@smithnross]

Thank you… I Love Envelopes…. Junk & Fabric… inspiration happening!!!

[@number1nanaof2]

What a fun time. The color of the shells went so well with the inking, and the old book spine. It was just terrific. That graphite pencil is definitely on my list. Thank you for all your tips. Love and ear scratches to Sunny. God bless. 🙏❤️

[@48juicegirl]

I have lots of these envelops and hope I have a chance to craft today! Washing windows today🙁 Hope everyone has a great day! Carol here from Michigan🤗

[@lisaramos3167]

Hi Pam, I have to agree too much on the desk can be overwhelming. I love "Fred"! Sending hugs to Sunny and birds🤗

[@janetpogue4970]

Hi crafty friends 💐

[@Blyght]

Whenever I try one of these I end up with something that resembles the scrabblings of the emotionally perplexed. Maybe someday. ❤

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

I will donate fabric scraps to anyone that wants them! My sewing/craft room had some crazy person get in there and mess it up.......

[@germainwdesjardins6573]

Good morning Pam and Sunshine ❤

[@patriciamonreal4401]

Simply wonderful seeing your ideas & videos giving me new things I can do. . Love your baby. ♥️ thank you 😊👍♥️

[@pamelaallen-sanders5464]

Good morning friends.

[@edwyna7]

I've never done paper crafts before, only yarns & fabric. I very much enjoyed your video. Love your energy and enthusiasm. 🎉

[@marygranado5972]

Love you too Sunshine 🎉

[@dedepyle7046]

Howdy all you wonderful paper people!!❤ Have a fantastic day!!!

[@leannel1381]

Simple, easy, relaxing, creative and 36 minutes and 16 seconds with Pam! And of course our Sunny Pup date! Best way to start off a Day off and a Monday! ❤️📕🇨🇦

[@pamobryan5455]

Good morning everyone!!!!! Are you smiling with me while watching Pam today?!!! Of course you are! Have a good one! Thanks Pam!!!!

[@livingwithsjogrensdisease1550]

Awah, such a cutie pie furry baby.

[@jmsl_910]

in case anyone is interested: Natasha, a Treasure Books made a really cool file-folder thing, out of junk mail envelopes this sunday . super cool

[@JennCadyFiddlyBits]

I saw that. I’ve set aside some envelopes for making a few! ❤

[@lillyr437]

Pam, you crack me up!!! 😂 Thanks for making my day. 😊

[@mollymouse4900]

Good morning everyone ❤

[@meyerhome85]

🙏💞🤗☕🍩

[@andreamorton1884]

Good morning, Molly

[@Lovesoldsongs]

Good morning.

[@karenpage5750]

Watching replay here in Tennessee (6/8/23) 👋🏻

[@janicestewart8291]

I wanted to ask after seeing your craft room a couple weeks ago, about whether or not you would show us how you organize all of your crafting paper...from the regular size pieces of paper and mail to the scraps you've saved ? I know, I'd love to find better ways to store all types of paper. Thank you for showing us the way. You rock!

[@angelabaker3638]

thanks for another reason to save envelopes. I used to make a grocery list on the back of an old envelope and tuck my coupons in it .. yep early recycling

[@robinmckenzie4142]

Pam Thank You for making me start my day with a laugh and a smile , you are always such a joy to watch!! And YES i really am laughing with you 😊❤🤗Have an awesome day !!!🌷🦋

[@ErikaJunkJournalsforaCause]

Good morning! Love playing with envelopes. Love that vintage word stamp ❤

[@katedolan7030]

So fun! Gotta make one now.🌸 Thanks Pam. Enjoy your snooze time Sunshine.🥱😴

[@WoodlandInspired]

Good morning Pam🤗 Awesome envelope project, so many possibilities. Thanks for sharing, hope you had a fabulous weekend. 💕Hugs

[@Gretchen_T.]

You struggling with the fabric in the window was so funny...🤣🤣🤣

[@leerowley70]

Good morning!!! ❤

[@mayteplaceres2499]

Muchas gracias por compartir, muchas bendiciones🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@candaceestrada5744]

Love using up envelopes!! I save these like no ones business. TYFS!!

[@johannhenderson5670]

Scammers again I got this message too.

[@mickeymulder9741]

Must do this, I love it...boy it's quiet there this morning.

[@StampforLes]

thanks for more ideas to use up envelopes! Oh and for the Monday morning laughs! I adore your humor😄

[@juliaclark1]

Good morning Pam and Molly! This is different! Gotta try this!

[@KristysCraftyCottage]

I love how your envelope ✉️ turned out! And your puppy is way too cute!!! ❤️🥰

[@sharronmartin2511]

Wonderful thank you

[@pdcarter4598]

Well we’re here now! That made me laugh! A little hut! Lol

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

Goood morning Pam & fellow awesome Outpostians! Let's get our crafty on! 😂❤😊 Pam... your desk "issues" always make me giggle. You're right, though... too messy or too clean just doesn't work very well. I can't leave things out (cat who loves to hide/destroy stuff lol), so I cannot allow my desk to reach that "too much" state anymore. It also sadly means I can't do any of the "use whats on your desk" challenges, but... it taught me. There's a happy medium, and that spot is different for everyone. I tend to (still) go overboard grabbing stuff as I go digging through supplies for whatever my latest idea needs. I start out with the basic idea, but as I see other stuff, I am still way too fast bringing it out, "just in case". It crowds stuff, it overwhelms, and I also know that when I'm finished for the day... it's all gotta be put away in some fashion. Tools/crafty supplies like glues and inks... go where they belong. Project specific stuff - the papers I gathered, fabrics, and whatever I'm working on, etc - go into a "project tub" (it has a lid) which gets cleaned out and everything returned to where it belongs once the project is complete. If I have "too much" for the tub, I force myself to make stronger decisions on what I keep in the box to work with later and what gets put back away. Limiting the # of project tubs (I have 2 larger ones for more involved projects and 3 smaller ones for less involved stuff) means when they're all being used- I gotta finish one up or decide to abandon it & put everything away. Using the tubs, especially for larger projects (like a full JJ) helps keep everything together, but more importantly for me... once its all in a tub, I just pull items out I want to use right then. I get less overwhelmed, the cat doesn't get in trouble, and I can drag my tub of supplies and a few extra tools (inks, scissors, glue, etc) anywhere I want in the house to continue my projects. (Sturdy lids on the containers make for great lapboards!) Too many choices get overwhelming, my end results aren't, in my opinion, as good... I do LIKE having multiple options, but there's a limit. Since I can't manage to rein in my enthusiasm in the initial "digging through the stashes" phase... for now, my project tub system seems to help keep me a bit more in check... kind of. 😂

[@kayjosephineporteous444]

Hi pam kk from nz haven't 3atched you for awhile having therapy for my arthritis check the figs. I press instead of letters yes my brain goes faster than my hands for texting yep, but 3hat I see is awesome tell you the truth I've been busy with air dry clay qn making a fairy village for my gran daughter in August is 9 yes old an loves fairies.. so u, I have a great gran daughter an older gran daughter visited from oz I was thrilled, ggdaughter is 2 this year sept I think anyway how's your family my art table is a mess how's sunny an family husband yourself I had covid 3 months ago was to get the 3rd booster they're giving out f9r us 60 pluses I'm 68 69 in October 3 sometimes I feel like 80 blah.. let's get on with life love you all pam keep up the artistic awesome 3ork of crafting that you do pam your awesome kk from rotorua nz

[@robertakeirn1870]

Are we Outpostians or Outposters? We should probably have an official name. 😂

[@kayjosephineporteous444]

How about paper posters you all

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

@Roberta “Gilly” Keirn I only used Outpostians cus i like the way it rolls off my tongue. It also points specifically to those of us who follow and adore Pam at the Paper Outpost. "Outpostians" is unique to and for Pam's channel. (the Paper Outpost doesn't give us much to work with as far as using it as the name of a specific sub-set group of people is concerned. 😅 Outposter... could work, I suppose - but it also makes me think of someone who has a job going out and hanging up posters. 🤷‍♀️ I do have a strange brain, however, so.... 😂 I get a similar thought with Paper Posters suggested by Kay - it just makes me think of large sheets of paper (as in the posters that hang on walls). 😄 But, nothing is official 🤗 I just got tired of coming up with variations of words for us fans of paper-crafts when greeting everyone in my comments. (Paper Aficionados was one I used quite often until I came up with Outpostians.) In my opinion,feel free to go ahead and use whatever words feel right for you to describe this amazing group of creative people. If you prefer Outposters or Paper Posters or Paper Aficionados or ... well, anything else to Outpostians... go for it! I'm not the gatekeeper of whatever we call ourselves; I'm just a fan who loves paper, loves this channel, and loves the community Pam has created. No matter what we call ourselves, we all know it's this love of (or curiosity of) junk journaling and/or paper crafts in general that brought us here. Our adoration of Pam (and Sunny) and her great videos, ideas, tips, etc, and this community of great people are what keeps us coming back. 😀 Hope everyone's week is going great!

[@robertakeirn1870]

Isn’t it funny how some words strike us differently. Outpostians is probably a great choice, it just reminds me of Orwellians, or the fans of George Orwell. We are probably all addicted enough that maybe we shouldn’t name it. 🤣 Happy creating!

[@junkjournaljac]

Pam, you and Sunshine make me laugh. Thank you for keeping me smiling and enjoying crafting so much. ❤

[@eileenpopiel1326]

So much fun 😊

[@phylliswilliamstn]

I love that. 😊 Sunny is sleepy because he pawtrols through the night..

[@ninniank9650]

Good morning!! Love this idea can wait to make it now..today..🎉

[@janhaley7832]

Thanks for the Monday pick me up❤

[@yobyhenthorn7813]

I like that you used the aquerrel to accent. I have a complete set but have never used them.

[@overflowmiss]

Thanks Pam for this idea. I think i might glue the window inserts to a piece of paper and slide it in, rather than putting myself through the struggle juggle...thanks again ❤

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

I have a big box of junk mail envelopes. So many things to make…and never enough time! Always love spending morning tea time with Pam and Sunny. I always get inspired to play with reckless abandon!

[@brendaclark2703]

Good afternoon miss Pam, hello outpost peeps! Fantastic as usual. Thank you so much for sharing . Hugs and blessings 🤗❤️🌸

[@johannhenderson5670]

Scammers again

[@seameology]

Perfect timing!

[@donnamurillo]

OMGosh. I never thought of using fabric on an envelope. When I use paper on an envelope I find cutting the sides of the envelope open then gluing the paper or .in this case. fabric on the inside then reglueing the sides of the envelope back. So much easier.

[@nancyurbanski8168]

Crematory special…😂☺️🥰You ALWAYS brighten my day🦋‼️

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

Great project easy and fun

[@carolynnixon7095]

Truly, trash to treasure! 🤩

[@rosarieramon1081]

I liked this quick and easy creative envelope. Fun way to use the scraps👍. Thank you, Sunshine on your sage advice...Embrace the snooze😊. I like that🤗

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Pam & Sunshine, beautiful junk mail play, enjoyed watching. TFS💙

[@julielakey594]

That was fun. Super cute. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@mickginny823]

Love this idea, Pam! Love all your ideas, TFS😊🐕🐦🐦📚🧵✂️

[@binaalmilli7216]

So much fun Pam ! Thank you 🩷

[@provokedpatriot5983]

Very fortuitous video. My son just gave me a box of junk mail. Love your take on this! Sunshine is the cutest!

[@eveny119]

Pam If you glue the fabric to a piece of paper first, then glue this sturdier piece to the back of the envelope, I think it would be easier. FYI I keep all my envelopes from junk mail, but for the life of me I can not find a lg. one with a window...because. I've cut them all apart I like the patterns on the inside of security envelopes.

[@shirleycox3895]

Love this...and the commentary is everything.😊😘

[@kimbazzani8697]

Beautiful Tina you do gorgeous work of art😊

[@sherryliberto6749]

Good Morning Sunshine and Pam, great play this morning. I hope everyone has a great day. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤

[@carolek2090]

Envelopes are fun to make things with! Good morningj Pam and Sunshine!

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Great art. Looking like something I saw on the wall in the dentist office..👍 Pam.

[@gr8fng]

Listening to your dialogue always has me chortling & leaves me feeling so happy ... thanks Pam ❤

[@Lisa.Ann.]

Blowing my mind--you inked the edges! Imagine that!😂🤩

[@barbaranoble9748]

Happy crafting day to you all! I hope you are having so much fun! Pam great idea! I really love look! Good morning Sunny! Tyfs!

[@paulchavez931]

I ❤ your tutorials!

[@kellyfox7172]

Thank you ❤

[@jeanfuller1462]

Good morning, Suggestion I would have cut the envelope on the side and then glued my material down and sewed it back up.also it would add a different look.What do you think?Everyone have a wonderful day.

[@janscott821]

Hi Pam! This envelope is so cute and you make it look so easy! ❤

[@bevhampton444]

Crematory special!! Lol!

[@JustMeValerie6]

Yes! I have LOTS of envelopes! 😊 Good morning all! Happy crafting!!

[@artglue2]

Such pretty nails! As soon as I find my envelope stash I’ll make this😂

[@mickeymulder9741]

I've watched lori for a long time, she's just magic!!

[@sallymander1068]

I like how you left a lot of blank space rather than covering up the entire envelope. And to think, i just tossed all me junk mail envelopes, bummer.

[@cleot151]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@victoriaguckian8578]

Fun as usual

[@sandrabooth7642]

Wonderful video. Just love all the fab ideas. I am in the ‘collecting’ stage. Every piece of everything. The craft space filling with lots of cardboard, old books, in fact almost anything I can get my hands on and have everyone ‘saving’ things for me. Haven’t yet been confident enough to create the actual journal yet, except for a tiny one for my granddaughter!! Was just paper and pockets and tucks etc. But it’s coming!! Love everything you do. Such fun to watch and listen along with you over here in UK. Love that little doggy and pupdates. Thankyou for all your inspiration 😊😊

[@janieanderson3988]

I like the fabric envelope covering. How about covering an envelope with vintage ads?

[@jinibell4649]

Hello from Luxembourg. I love, love, love your videos. Crafting with you every morning, ( night to y’all of course). Was never an artsy crafty person, but you’ve made me obsessed with paper Pam. You’ve achieved you’re goal on this girl. 😂❤

[@pistolannie6500]

Pam, Would it Maybe have been a bit easier to have glued each of those onto a piece of scrap cardstock, or even a scrap pc of an envelope... THEN try to slip inside the envelope? Using it to stiffin the pc of fabric, makin it easier to slide it inside an uncut open envelope.

[@teresasugerik7042]

Morning, what a fantastic idea 🎉

[@Lisa.Ann.]

Hello my dear friend!!💗

[@jennifer32949]

that was fun 😊

[@sophiamartin1971]

That pupdate is hitting me hard with a 4 month old at home. I will be embracing the snooze instead of the dishes during first nap time.

[@deborahbovee9468]

Fantastic! This was a most creative project. I was totally engrossed the whole time. Laughing while creating is the best medicine for whatever bugs you. Thank you and your fur baby. Deborah from Fort Myers.🐝

[@blossomandinspire]

Love this! You’re so fun and creative!

[@katharinefletcher466]

Amazing, you’re so creative and inspiring xx

[@victoriatomlinsonmack2086]

Great idea! Thank you for this tutorial 🌼😃

[@pamelakallen9630]

That is so neat and would good in a journal. Thank you.

[@gloriahinty5473]

Pam and Sunny I look forward to your videos so much. I will have to go and look up some more envelopes video since I just found a stack of note card envelopes😊

[@johannhenderson5670]

Scammers again I got this message too.

[@plrs4cats]

Hello Pam! I haven't watched in a while- life kind of got in the way of my junk journaling. So, this might sound like a weird question but you don't sound like yourself today. I had to double check to see if I was on the right channel LOL. Are you feeling all right? Sending lots of good energy your way!

[@judithanderson9727]

Armadillidiidae!

[@loripLIVE]

Cool layout! Tyfs 🙂💗love your little dog!
