    We used to cover our text books with paper bags so we could decorate them to show our personality lol

    I hope your viewers appreciate that you are measuring solely for them. Lol
    Beautiful, you have changed the direction of my life, Pam. I have been making junk journals like a mad woman since I found them through you. And now, friends are asking me to make them for them to purchase! Extra cash in my pocket to go to the second-hand store again!
    I love your ability to chat away in an interesting way for us to enjoy.

    I loved the Neutral colored journal videos … loved the videos showing fabrics and laces in journals to me it adds so much beauty and elegance to journals, Pam is always on crafting Fire🔥 She will Always be my Favorite journal maker, because when I first started a couple years ago, I had Nothing and knew Nothing and Pam was and is so beginner friendly, mindful. 😂in my mind, I see Pam in a super hero cape ready to solve All our journal questions. 😊❤ I just love her.

    • @Rebecca-zw4pm
      @Rebecca-zw4pm 2 роки тому

      Here here to that! I started just last May and because Pam's tutorials are so beginner friendly, you can apply those same concepts to more complicated projects. One can take those techniques she teaches and then REALLY create with reckless abandon! 😅 My journals have come a long way and I'm really starting to find my style. I made four big fat journals for my friends this Christmas and they literally cried at the thought and detail that went into them. It's reactions like that that make me want to make a book for everyone I know. 😂

    Couldn't believe I had some nice Contac paper on hand, but I did, so I made one of these cute and functional little notebooks this afternoon. Instead of just covering up the inside covers, I made folding pockets and glued them on. Mine only has 32 pages, plus some extra in the pockets. It will be perfect for carrying in my purse. Thanks for another super fun tutorial, Pam.

    Late to the party but with a very good excuse...I'm organizing my lace drawer and "trims" drawer. Whoo hoo! That chore has been hanging over my head for a long time. Such a good feeling finally getting it done. 🙂 Great project. Now I have an idea on what to do with some contact paper I've had hanging around forever. TFS Regards to the menagerie and Papa too. Hope you all have a great day. 🌞

  • @craftygrandma56
    @craftygrandma56 2 роки тому +3

    Just my humble opinion - vinyl is great for covering everything - it was my go to when I started making journals only because we had (14 years ago!) no craft stores. After so many years on my journals the middle cracks because we pull it too tight when adding the cover. Works great to cover binders that are falling apart or covering boxes to match your craft room decor. I noticed on my last trip to the store, they had almost no vinyl paper left....guess I depleted their stock!!! LOL!! Every time I see you use really old newspaper, I am floored. I had found the new years issue of newspaper from 2000 and when I picked it up, it disintegrated into a million pieces!!! I guess the paper was stronger back in the day and the reason our landfills are so full! Have a great day - stay warm or cool....it's -8C or 25F so maybe I will just venture outdoors for a walk to the park and a few laps skating around the rink (the kids are back in school finally!!!!)
