NEUTRAL JUNK JOURNAL PAGE DECORATING! Tips & Tricks! ;) The Paper Outpost

[@craftygrandma56]

The writing in German reads something to the effect of Tin ware for the kitchen....the first dishwasher was invented was invented, of course!, in 1850 by a woman Josephine Cochran and it was of all things, a wooden box!!! I think this was a cupboard that holds the tin ware but it sure looks like the bread box we had in the country and mom put her in it!!! LOL!! My uncle who built and furnished the country house was surely one of the first of the recyclers as he built the house and furnished the house from the junk yard!! (Much to my mom's dismay!) We even had an icebox (fridge!) that we had to buy ice before arriving at the country house to keep our things cold. .....this was in the early 60's!!! We had oil lamps, and a record player that played 78's that we had to crank the handle to get music. The head boards on all the beds were hand carved by my uncle as was the upright standing closet for our clothes. Sorry for the lengthy memories

[@rosekidd2469]

What fabulous memories! Thanks so much for sharing! Reminds me of summertime when I was a child.

[@brendabrown8027]

[@linnydaniels8811]

I’m really enjoying this neutral journey. Neutral does not have to equal BLAH!

[@tavanetaylor98]

I love all kinds of old papers, we share that. You make my day Pam. ❤to you and Sunny and the fam.

[@JamieBeeReseller]

Good Morning everyone!! Happy Wednesday! ❤ 😊🇨🇦

[@number1nanaof2]

I am loving how you love what you do. Just touching these papers thrills you. This natural journal was an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your love of paper. 🥰📖❤️

[@karenb1073]

mornings are not the same without you Pam

[@heathersullivan8494]

The journal is coming along quite nicely. Love all your little ideas and just truly love spending time in your company. Have a wonderful day Pam. 😊

[@janoirmoon5099]

Good morning Miss Pam. I see Miss Sadie beat me to the punch. It indeed means exquisite! Once again you have created an "exquisite" junk journal!

[@GertiePants]

I'm loving this neutral junk journal. I have to admit, though, I scroll through the video to find Sunshine's pupdates and then go back and watch the how-to's of junk journaling. Thank you, Pam, for sharing your beautiful pup with us.

[@rosarieramon1081]

Enjoyed the neutral additions to your neutral journal. I like it. Sunshine, sounds like you had a great time with your visitors. Careful with the snacks.😊

[@joanfriant211]

Fun to be had by all, even Sunshine 💜

[@minkademko2335]

I love how you added just a few curvy lines and berries to the little stamp images, just before Sunshine's appearance. Very surprising 🤠🖐️👍❤️

[@peetjeselis]

Hi Pam! Petra here from the Netherlands. Since a few months i follow you on KZbin. I love the way you love and talk about paper. I have exactly the same abnormal attraction to old “carbage” paper. Love it! I’ve bought a bananabox full with old stuff on the fleemarket, i think about 150 old foto’s, journeyfolders, paper placemats etc etc for €20! The feeling en the smell of old story’s on that paper brings my fantasy and creativity alive. 🙏 lots of greets from Holland

[@Llama_Whisperer]

I never thought I would like this series, but I am obsessed! Ty, Pam!

[@MyDjturner]

I made my first neutral strips that I can cut down for clusters, altered paperclips or make into belly bands, tucks or even bookmarks. I had so much fun because I also used some of my first 3 days worh of coffee dyed papers, using different types of papers, and some newly acquired free old books from the library pages. I had so much fun. Thank you so much for inspiring me to get some papercraft done for the first time in years. I appreciate you and Sunny in my daily life. 😃🧡

[@jeannepadgett344]

Happy Wednesday ❤ and merry Christmas 🎄

[@jennsuicune]

Hi Pam, this is beautiful 😍. The old papers seem so fragile. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day 🥰

[@kismkids]

I really enjoy your ideas & videos. You helped me build a journal for my 9 yr old granddaughter’s birthday. I was told when she opened it her 7 yr old sister started to cry because she loved it so much. My granddaughter called it a magical book & when she took it to school to show it off she was so pleased when her teacher called it a magical book too. Thank you for your enthusiasm ❤

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

That’s the sweetest thing ❤

[@Witchykaren.]

Happy Yule 🌲🎄🎅 Love to all xx ❤

[@lindahowe2293]

I just realized- a neutral junk journal at the holidays is so different from the usual holiday colors and sparkle. But I love it and am inspired! Thanks Pam for fitting in your regular videos even during the holidays when you are probably as busy as the rest of us! Merry Christmas to you and yours from the Howes 💕

[@janscott821]

Pam, I am just loving this journal! It’s turning out so beautiful. Hi Sunny! It’s fun to have lots of family visit isn’t it! Merry Christmas to all🎄🎅🏻✝️❄️☃️

[@PriscaBosq]

Hello Pam, i'm in love with this serie... for "Esquisitos" in spanish, it's like "Exquis" in french... the exact translation should be "Delicate" or "made with perfection". It was used for cigarrillos or cigar boxes, and even some really pricey alcohols, to mean that they were exceptional products to consume, a little bit like we now use the word "Luxe" in different languages. Also, Exquis can be seen as "unusual things", as for example a "cadavre exquis" in french is to making art (whatever the base is) from different hands without seeing what the other did before, to make it unusual and unique, and maybe a little weird in a way, and if you look at the definition in portuguese you will have this definition "Weird" attached to "Esquisitos". That's crazy! All that said, i really like that you put a lot of treasures, it's truly giving that little touch and attention to details that i love to see in junk journals. Thank you for your videos, and greetings! 🥰

[@RSSsmommie]

I completely understand the love of old paper, or anything that have survived so many years. I collect old trading cards and post cards from the 1800's, and they just fascinate me, also old valentines and such! I put them in my journals to help preserve for future generations, so I feel ya sister!❤

[@RColleen1]

Way too much fun! Definitely running amok with reckless abandon!!! ❤

[@ediszilagyi]

It's a Hungarian Shakespeare book! You are so amazing, and I absolutely adore watching your videos.

[@michellejanossy4125]

Happy Wednesday Outposters! So pleasantly surprised at how much I am enjoying this neutral journal. Was a little sceptical at first but it really is turning out lovely! 💕

[@pewdgie]

Love the neutral hournal

[@brendabrown8027]

I love your passion for aged papers! It is so amazing how you can make a little mistake and turn it into something beautiful. I tend to make very chunky journals too. I have been watching your channel everyday,for the last several months.. I really enjoy listening to you and seeing your cute little SunBun! I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much Pam!

[@donnaswisher8408]

Mornin' Pam. Every time I see the cover on this one I drool. I wish I could find cool covers like that. 😁 Regards to the menagerie and Papa too. Hope you all have a great day. 🌞

I watch your video last night how to make a journal cover I'm working on my 2023 journal I covered it in a pillow sham going for the bohemian look.

[@JenniferSWalker]

Have you ordered from Amazon lately and gotten one of the brown paper envelopes! I love them! The crinkle is amazing! My kids are making fun of me because I can't throw them out. They're the BEST!

[@myotheraccountonothe]

It means Exquisite

[@EddieMakesArt]

Nothing wrong with a plus sized junk journal. Happy Holidays to you and your family Pam!

[@reneeorr2507]

Tried to run a German-English translation on the phrase from the old German book. I think it says "tin dishes for the whole church" or something close to that. Your endless old ephemera never ceases to amaze me. Merry Christmas, Pam and family!!!!

[@alanaskinner5703]

After this series, I am going to put "Make a neutral Journal" on my list. lol thanks for the inspiration

I noticed you working area is facing the window. Looks nice. Is this a recent move? So enjoy the journey of the history of persons & topics. Merry Christmas! 🎄🤗

The paper with Exquisitor may be from a cigar box. My husband has given me similar papers. They are beautiful. Sandy

[@deborahbovee9468]

Pam, I have a postcard. If I cut a hole in the middle of a page, how should I secure it so the front is on one page and the back can be seen on the next page? A window. That's what I want to make.

[@RedArrowTinker]

Add me to the list of the fans of your beautiful neutral journal. It makes me smile to see you enjoying yourself making and filling it.

[@Ichyt]

I think that’s a tobacco plant on the embossed “esquito” page, Pam, so it’s probably a cover paper for a box of cigars. That would be my guess, anyway. It’s so pretty.

[@Llama_Whisperer]

So glad. You figured that out! I looked it up but found nothing!

[@Papiercutz]

I liked this series. Do you iron your dyed papers? Sorry your supply is never endless, mine is never ending!

The dishwasher advertisement is German for tin chirr (cry) for the whole kitchen. It is called tin chirr for the sound it makes when a bar of tin is bent. Joel Houghton invented the dishwasher in 1850. Happy holidays to the whole family.

[@rhondasmith27]

I made a journal with a hidden spine, alot harder then I thought. I either tied my signatures to tight or over glued.

[@stephanieengel5555]

Blechgeschirr für die ganze Küche means Tinware for the entire kitchen. How do you find these nice German Papers. I am from Germany but I can never find such nice old papers 😅

[@noelhughes7510]

When my friends travel and ask me what I might want as a souvenir and I say just any ol' scraps of paper or brochures or receipts written in the language of the country they are visiting. Is that odd?!? I have a feeling you totally understand! 😉😃

[@elaines.5229]

What you called a dishwasher may be a picnic basket to take on a sporting event. All other items on the page deal with sports.

[@CherryBerry48]

esquisitos mean weird, strange, odd

[@EddieMakesArt]

'Esquisitos' is Spanish for peculiar in a funny sense.

[@carolrodgers7988]

Pam you are going to laugh So hard!! I used google translate on the word Esquisitos and it said it means, weirdos!!!! 😂

[@lorifitzgibbon3085]

Oh Pam, you can never have to much stuff in journal, lol

[@stimpsonracing6736]

esquisitos is spanish for exquisite

[@TheMisfitJournalMaker]

I think that embossed paper might have been like a top sheet in a cigar box.

[@brookep8799]

👍❤️😁

[@suzettefaircloth5037]

Exquisitos means exquisites in English. Or basically plural of exquisite. That picture on the paper Is a maguey plant useed to make tequila. It's probably from a tequila manufacturer.

[@lisahannon6465]

Pam, I am cracking up because we recently rescued a mini-schnauzer, all white, probably around 8-9 years old…and one of his quirks has been to nip at people’s ankles!! My mother was actually with us and in a wheelchair, and “Snowball” actually broke her skin a bit..yikes! It seems to only be with people he hasn’t met, and there’s no growling or aggressive behavior. It’s like he is saying “This is my house..who are you?” He is very well behaved other than this. Seems like once he initiated people, it’s not a problem. 🤷‍♀️
