[@buckeyehockey1979]

Here is the thing with old books. Most of them haven't been properly preserved and become very dry and brittle. So regardless if you leave the book intact or not, that book is destined to be trash. So repurposing them and use them in a new way is saving that paper from becoming trash.

[@ibkristykat]

Exactly!!!

[@cris928c]

[@patriciaharrell1303]

When people making projects why they talk so just show people how

[@judyluthy9724]

@@patriciaharrell1303 there are those who will meet your needs. As for me, I often learn little tips and tricks from offhand comments she throws out 🙂

[@katherinetwilliams4254]

I really love the belly band! The brads are the bomb!

[@gaylesankey402]

Pam, ! find the crafting community very generous and sharing. It’s also very comforting to know that there are so many people out there that are like me. This is very important when you are married to a left brained man who can’t comprehend why I would spend hours creating with paper!

[@taylorjudi]

I think it is Fonts. Love the fonts in old books. Fun video.

[@davidatyson6735]

Hi Pam. My husband passed away in 2021. We were only married 10 months. I began looking into scrapbooking so that I could create one for him and got caught up in Junk Journaling. I had never heard of it until early last year (2022). I enjoy watching your videos and many others. Your videos and TREASURE BOOKS are my favorites. I am slowly, but surely working on my husband's scrapbook. However, I have already made three junk journals. I introduced it to my sister. She visited me after Christmas and has created two of her own, using all of the bits and pieces I have created to make junk journals. I also took a look in your Etsy shop and purchased some digital downloads. YOU ARE SO VERY TALENTED, FUNNY, AND FRIENDLY. I adore your pets as well. Tell them all hello for me 🙂

[@booksbyburk]

Pam! Thank you for the shout out. I’m so glad you liked my idea of using up book pages. I like the variations you came up with. I got an explosion of new subbies. Thank you!

[@kellyhards8828]

Oh no Pam! Now everybody is going to be putting small holes in their papers, and highlighting them! You've started a new trend in paper crafting! 😂😂😂💕💕💕💕

[@veronicabartolinicodebreak714]

You Mrs. Pam are so hilarious!!!! When you said, "spread em and forget em." I lost it LOL!!!! I have been learning so much from you since I started making journals 3 yrs ago. You are an inspiration. I was diagnosed with cancer a month ago and still going strong. Having major surgery after Thanksgiving. I just want to say Thank you and I love you.

[@denisestreitman3916]

I told the lady she needed to watch you for great ideas and great laughs

[@sherryberryblueberry6156]

I am not sure if I watch your videos for your junk journaling expertise or your sense of humor! I learn and I laugh! Thank you for being you!!

[@denisestreitman3916]

Just “gifted” a shoebox full of duplicate inkpads to a lady who wanted to buy them but daughter had OD’d & had to use $$ for bills. What the heck, I didn’t wanna have to pack them to move anyway! She did me a favor.

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Those are so neat. Using book pages keep them from being burned or shredded or going in the landfill. We can make pretty things with them. Love the belly band. Hi to Papa and the rest of the family ☺️. Have a good rest of your week.🤗🤗🤗

[@patriciarinaldi9390]

🤣🤣🤣🤣could you have made sewing anymore difficult 🤦‍♀️...you did it!!! I was cheering and laughing. Love the idea ...

[@jennieadamsMM]

I see Peter Tarts on that check. I didn’t see the vertical line that would have made it an F. Maybe Peter had a bakery😅 Those correct capital T’s are funky! 😂🤗💕🦋

[@katedolan7030]

Love the belly band with the brads. Soooo pretty.

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

Pam - Serendipity at its best - i always have a book next to me when i create - whenever i need to glue pieces of papers - images - die cuts etc - i place it on the book to glue them - when the book page gets "gluey" lol - i then place another book page on top and tear it out - i end up with a pile of glued pages ready to be altered into journal cards - tags - belly bands and tuck spots - i also have a 2nd book to use for leftover paints - makes great collage fodder or background pages - love what you created today - thank you and kisses to Sunshine xx

[@korneliapal2823]

Hello Pam and all crafty souls🥰 . I have loads of those old books, here in Austria it's easy to find them, they're sold at flea markets. They are extremely beautiful and preserved. They can be found at low prices, but there are also those that are very expensive. My daughter always asks me how I don't regret tearing up books that are 100 or more years old... well, I'm sorry, but they're standing and no one reads them anymore, so I'm just giving them a new life and purpose...

[@number1nanaof2]

I love how you are giving these books a new life instead of possibly ending up in a landfill or just sitting on a shelf or in a box gathering dust or possibly mold just being ignored😢.

[@lindajenkins9861]

Liked everything but the bellyband was my favorite 😊

[@darlenesmith7154]

Never heard the name Junk Journal until I found your videos......changed my boring life....I do check on other videos...( Yours is my favorite ) you have birds and Sunny........💕

[@lalagamma4452]

Stunning and stuff we all seem to have on hand. Positive Healing Vibes and prayers for you and your family! Be safe💕🐞 Namaste 🥰

[@barbara-dj1uo]

Ohhhh, how I love your channel and your sweet puppy. I always show my husband the sweet puppy. Thanks for your inspiration for creating with reckless abandon. Love ya!

[@bobbiehawkinsjsyharricot]

Hey Pam, calling from a small island in the English Channel, Jersey! You will absolutely love the UK, everything old and mystical is on every corner. History in every brick. Our little island is no different, only 9 miles by 5 and we have two castles and many many historic sites from dolmans to Victorian and Georgian homes, if you manage to get over you should definitely visit us, the most southernly island in the UK and tour all the way to Scotland, each place so different and unique yet so similar. Hope your dream comes true very soon and thank you for all your inspiration and joy. Much love to you xx

[@sherryhaynes317]

Oh I love the washi tape. The tile pattern is so pretty.

[@jillharper7801]

Pam thank you, my day has started with enjoyment education and laughter 🤣Jill

[@jennieadamsMM]

🤣 I have a couple of Brads… Sr. and Jr.😂 🤗💕🦋

[@dogloverlmh9197]

Oh, Pam I nearly died from laughter at poor Peter's name. The more I tried to compose myself the more the tears of laughter came. Beautiful pages. Loved the gothic writing.

[@denisestreitman3916]

You never cease to “amuse” me! Thx

[@merrykostroun1758]

😂😂 oh my word, it doesn’t matter what your situation is you are able to work around big stacks of scraps to reach across and sew. I’d have to clean everything away from the machine then forget what I was doing. You are a pleasure to watch and truly create with reckless abandon.

[@helenbritcher9353]

I do like that you put what you made right into a journal.

[@blacklaceroses]

" Didn't read your book, love your cover." 🤣🤣🤣 Pam, I LOVE your humor. I own over 350 books I would never loan, tare, or get rid of. And I own about 50 books I love taring apart. Depends on the book 😉

[@janscott821]

Pam, thanks for reminding me to use my brads! After all who doesn’t want to look like a blacksmith! LOL! Love to all and especially that sweet Sunny boy! 💖🥰

[@poodlegirl55]

I got a big box of old books at an auction for only $4. Quite a few were falling apart but I think I have tried every one of your videos that use book pages and will try this. My favorite is the Rolodex idea and I store my ephemera in it.

[@Shannon848]

That’s so funny. My husband asked my mother in law for a few things to put in my daughter’s junk journal for Christmas and she made it VERY clear that this was NOT junk!!!!! Lol 😂 He had to explain. Natasha’s Treasure Books is a wonderful channel to watch. She’s from Australia and loves to recycle everything.

[@barbiesedgwick5962]

Oh I got to see that little fur baby you have.

[@slywolverine3600]

Have to say I could give you a run for the money for messy work table. Love that you also loose tools among the project. Keep me crafting. Lol

[@micsathome]

Yes, like me, I am about to start mine too. Excited to adventure with Junk Journals. I Love Books and Papers🤗

[@oldhaggys]

I often sit for hours just with the pages of books and glue 3 or 4 pages together and rip them out oof the book, do 3 or 4 more and so on. If you glue the full page the glue help to harden it and it becomes really stiff and hard and perfect for cards or base for something. Amazing way to use the book pages.

[@carolyncordova4670]

Another item I use to “distress”, are my old bingo daubers! They work well, and add some really pretty colors. 😊

[@Twinschoice]

Pam, I have to say I don’t get a lot of time to get on KZbin very often but every night when I get the chance to get on my iPad the first thing I do is look for one of your videos. As a beginning journal maker, I am still wondering what to do with all the pages I cut out of books when I use the covers. You have the best ideas and the way you do your videos are so funny. You always make me laugh and I look forward to finding your videos. Thank you for keeping it fun and teaching us all this good stuff!

[@roxannaerhard4777]

I've used instant coffee for brown mixed just enough water to get it moist enough.😁

[@sundayze]

I accidently found your videos over a year ago and you sent me down the rabbit hole. I have watched thousands of videos, yours and others, looking to find my style and found that although I have my own style, I have made all types of journals with "inspirations" from other artists. I enjoy watching your videos because you always teach me something new and for my morning laughs with coffee (Mr. Farts and Mr. Brad, lol). Thanks for all the crafting good times, Pam!

[@BookwormsBuddy]

Great Video Pam. I love how upbeat you are. I too, like to be inspired by other people, it is a lot of fun and just keeps the journal world going around! Have a great day!

[@sueleblanc2152]

I think the double belly band is great. Thank you Pam. Hi to Sunshine

[@TheWillowtreeGreen]

As a native of the Cotswold’s it was so strange to hear you mention it! The accent you did was probably closer to somewhere near the Cotswolds than cockney London to be honest 😂 I definitely recommend visiting the area as there are lots of pretty villages if you do make it to the UK in the future.

[@cballard540]

Besides making informative videos, you make me smile and laugh 😂

[@lourdeselena4771]

That belly band was phenomenal! I am going to make one right now 😊

[@cynthiat6505]

I’ve templated with the best of them…you’re the best! Softy moosh! This idea is so great! Gonna do it!

[@christinecrow1410]

Good Morning, Pam, Danielle Steele, really. Lol

[@sherrydennis2419]

They all turned out so cute!

[@alanbirkner1958]

The Cotswolds are beautiful. Enjoy. Tina, Al's wife

[@melonyreece4195]

I ended up getting into junk journals while doing my daughter's scrapbook for her birthday. It was a massive project bc I didn't think of doing it as she was growing I spent months creating her life story from birth to 18. As I was looking for ideas I came across your channel and your personality reminds me of someone in my life who is a constant inspiration and source of love. You inspired me to get started and I couldn't be more thankful. Have a wonderful morning 🌄 you're a joy to listen to/watch!

[@jenndotson6718]

OMG!!!! I have a ton of ephemera from my sons life that I set aside for doing that also!!! Great minds. 😅

[@Paint3dRos3]

Love & hugs back atcha!

[@cheryldouglas234]

Great video today. Love your humor 😊. I’m gonna go over and order your fondle package right now. Hope to get some German book pages ( I am German on my Dads side). Thanks again and have a wonderful day❤️❤️❤️😊. Love to Sunny 🥰

[@susansmithey5317]

I love seeing your craft mess! I now know I am not alone!!! Haha 😂❤

Oh Pam, what a blessing you are. No matter how down I feel you always brighten my day. Thank you 🥰

[@desireemartin3485]

And I thought I was the only will find something to punch a hole, everything in my house (camper) is a craft tool love love the belly band

[@barbaranoble9748]

Thank you for the new ideas today Pam! I absolutely love the belly band the most! Good idea to triple the book pages for sturdiness! Love to all the youngins! Hugs to Sunny boy! Tyfs!

[@mitzieat307junkjournals4]

I love that cover on the 1879 book 😍😍. Thank you for all you do and thank you for sharing. 💕🥰💕

[@bythegraceofgod993]

This is always fun!! I especially love this beautiful belly band. Now begins the hunt, not for red October, for German text and maybe some ancient pictures.

[@aussierosedesigns]

Love the use of book pages, tfs. 🌹

[@lindasparks7131]

I love old books and the feel and smell of the pages! I love the creative ideas you have using books! Let me know when you head to England and I’ll join you!! A bucket list of mine as well!

I always go to our new to used store here and check out the books . It's run by Blue Heron and it employs special needs people. I managed to find a small German dictionary and another dictionary thats falling apart. I absolutely love that belly band. Who would of thunk to make a double one. Thank you so much for sharing all your awesome ideas.

[@lericamims]

Love your originality!

[@hcjdove372]

I use to cringe at the thought of destroying books. But in reality we are repurposing them. Billions of books in the world. Few less in the landfills. Love your videos.

[@jeannineosorio6566]

That's 2 of your videos today! Since you're speaking of buying used Distress Ink pads, different colors...I have lot's of liquid ranger inks but no pads! I would buy any colors you needing to get rid of!

[@franceskestel3688]

Pam, I have learned a lot from you. I have yet to make a junk journal. But I just wanted to offer you a suggestion. Instead of struggling to get through several layers of paper, just go through the top layers of your project with the hole and the brad. It is much easier.

[@annelarsson6152]

G’morning Pam and Sunny 😍 Thank you so much for making my day much Sunny’er 🌞! Fighting hellish sciatica and might need surgery soon! Done it before 😫, Thank goodness it helped. It’s always such a joy watching you Crafting and listening to your companions such as Sunny of course, Holly & Co, Aunt Sally Pants. 😂 Thank you so much also of course for endless inspiration. 👌 Have an Awesome day Lots of Love and hugs from Anne in Sweden ❤️🤗

I took your advise and bought a baggie of rubber stamps from a thrift store. I came home and stamped on a sheet of paper to check them out and found all but one stamped perfect, & even the least one was ok for background because it was large. I got 18 stamps for $6.95. I need no other rubber stamps. Thanks Pam.

Awesome ideas for book pages!! Mont Philip is the name of a mountain - Mont is short for montagne which is mountain in French - which I am guessing is a sky ride or ski lift to get to the top of the mountain.
