You just RUCHED!!! Congratulations! With all the love and respect in the world, you are sometimes a little messy. It has been so freeing for me--a perfectionist. I am loosening up, thanks to you. I am starting to go forth and try a few new things, not worrying about the outcome. Ruching, rumpling, talking paint brushes--I don't know; but it has freed me up! Barbara in Texas 🌱🌺🪴🌷🌿
I have yet to begin my first junk journal. I keep watching and rewatching your videos and collecting things. Yesterday I bought books at the flee market filled with wonderful pictures to cut out and even found a book for stamp collecting that had an envelope filled with stamps someone had good intentions for!!
Just start! I did the same as you and when I eventually started I didn't use half of the stuff I collected because as time goes by you collect even more things that inspire you in that moment. I ended up with a bunch of things I was inspired by before but I wasn't feeling that same vibe or theme anymore.
I'm glad that I am not the only one who talks to paper and scissors but at least you have an excuse making a video. Love watching you while i'm crafting over here in England.
Years ago I worked with children, and for a project I took index cards, folded in half, decorated with stickers, crayins/markers, etc. and took them to veterans hospitals/nursing homes for tray favors. Pam, I like these ideas, too.
Hi Pam. Watched a very depressingly eye opening video this morning. You have totally cheered me up! I absolutely love your spontaneous childlike designs. Perfection can be so boring. Thank you so much for reminding me that there is Joy in the world when we open ourselves up to the possibilities!
It's so nice to hang out with others who like papers, texture, and the looks & the feel of paper. I always thought it was a weird addiction, so I was sort of a closet paper hoarder!
Great ideas! I have 400 regular index cards in white and bright colors plus 150 or so larger 4x6 cards. These ideas will be great to start using them up!
"You can make things with different combinations of things you already have". Oh yeah, huh? 🤔 Sometimes I forget that. 🤦 It's fun to get new stuff but a mighty fine idea to dig out some older supplies - including makeup 💄 or maybe crayons🖍️ - and bring them back to life! Good to be reminded. 😁 Happy weekend everybody! 🕺💃 From the Southern California desert, MK 🏜️🌞😎
I don't have index cards, but a cereal box with a line stamp, works just as well! 😉 Thank you, Pam for the inspiration They work great as flat fillers, in journals and there's extra writing space! a win/win! You were ruching!! 😃 Hello to Holly, such a happy bird 🦜 love from sunny, muggy Denmark ☀️🌸🌱
You are so much fun to watch...AND, to listen to....never lose your sense of humor...it's just to adorable...I laughed when you said, ""it keeps me off the streets"😅😅 Love your little secretary, Sunny, there..."precious"
Index cards are my favorite craft supply. I just moved and when I went through my craft supplies, I was shocked at how many little things to tuck that I had made with index cards.
Always good to get new ideas for index cards. And who cares what it's called...a ruffle by any other name is still sweet. 😁 Hi Holly. Good to have you back crafting with us. 🙂 TFS Hope you have a great day. ❤
As usual I throughly enjoy watching you..while laughing the whole time...you have the gift of gab..that's for sure..thanks for sharing your ideas. And time...
Pam you've created a crazy women in me. I've never thought about junk journals and stumbled across your posts. Last night I sat with my bin of scrap paper and made paper click fundals or what ever you call them :) I've collected a big bundle of old postcards and photos and am about to create my 2nd journal. Love your videos thank you for allowing me to use junk in my home to make fabulous journals. SO fun, and I can do it anytime anywhere I just take a bag of scraps an old book and a glue stick :) or and a stamp pad I found in a box of stuff in the shed :)
Good morning! Just bought a bunch of index cards from the thrift store. Also have some gelatos that i have never used. Perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon! 💕
THATS WHY I LOOK SO OLD, GOTTA STOP EM INKING ME 😁 SWEETPEA IS WILTED TODAY, BUT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO SAY...SAY "HELLO TO PAM" 👋🤒 LIKE THE WATERCOLOUR JOBS 💜 CAMILLE 🇦🇺.
Hi Pam, the sewing machine guy reminded me of getting my vacuum cleaner serviced many years ago. I was accused of sucking up dust! Apparently it's not for that!? Point is it's your sewing machine and you can use it for whatever satisfies your heart. I have a collection of sewing machines (6) and only one works atm. I've got to get them serviced so I can sew to my hearts delight! Love the index cards! Enjoy the sunshine, we have our fire burning 24/7 atm. I'm in Australia.
Your videos are always a blast! I do hope you know that not only are you very creative and a great teacher; you are an inspiration. Your happy personality and quirky humor make my day so much more enjoyable!💗💗💗
You can place a stencil on top of a layer of gelato and then remove it with a wet wipe…..reverse stencilling… I think I will try putting paper bag through my embossing machine then glue it onto index cards. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Pam!!🌸🐝😎🦋🌻 I get such a kick out of your sense of humor! I especially love it when you take a sewing machine in to have it cleaned, pay for a service and get a lecture from the technician, like he’s doing surgery, and you need to stop gluing, use the right thread, and anything and everything else that you are doing wrong!!! Lol…did you have a hard time to keep a straight face, and want to say,”are you kidding me?” LO lol!!!🤪😱😂🤣😆😅
Also, you can color on the side on like paper plate, washable plastic, etc... then add a little water to that and sponge dab it onto stencil... I love gelatos! Even just scribbling a couple colors on the page, then blending with baby wipe with or without stencil! Awesomeness!😁👍
My grandfather had left behind a ledger from his 1940's meat locker business, buying turkeys, ducks, venison, rabbits, farm animals, etc. He had beautiful cursive handwriting because he had taken a correspondence course in handwriting! All of the entries are in cursive, so the ledger looks like a slaughterhouse wedding invitation.
Fabulous as always! I just found a pkg of index cards at the thrift store and bought them thinking I would find a '"Pam Project" and bang!! Here it is! Thank you Pam!!
I got my bundle of papers and spent the next hour reading stuff to my son LOL We had so much fun! I was busy crafting yesterday and my fingers started picking up stuff and I was muttering "where are my baby wipes!" LOL And of course I though of you! ;) I have a nosy kitten, so when I finish working I have to clean my crafting area and put stuff away because she steal stuff!! Love your videos Pam and ideas, keep up the good work!
Hi from freezing Victoria Australia, just came out of our 4th COVID19 lockdown. Been busy making signatures and thanks to your advice I finally took the gamble and used my sewing machine thankyou for your very happy plus Holly, advice.
Prefect video. Have tons of index cards and you showed me just the thing to do with them. Will make some today. What a perfect craft for a friday afternoon. Thank you Pam!!
Good morning. As always, I’m loving this. Here in Arizona, we’re expecting 113-114 degrees! Yesterday, we got to a high of 115! Then...our electricity went out! What fun! 🥵🤗💕
And just how did you know I brought home a handful of dusty old index cards from work yesterday? Hmm? 😆 I’m trying to talk myself into going outside to pull weeds before it gets so blame hot and here you are making my crafty fingers itch. I am so easy. 😀 G’morning Pam, Sleepy Sunny and feathered friends.
Thank you so much for using things that people might have in their stash, you are so so natural. I for one cannot buy all the beautiful paper, so I work with what I have. You are so fun to spend my time with, I have learned a lot from you. God Bless
i just love this idea..... a lined place to journal and tuck these in spots. and btw, i love that you listen to the CAG and the rest of the fids in your aviary while you craft. i craft with a macaw in my studio . :)
You always amaze me with the plethora of tips and tricks that you know....thank you for sharing! My dog Archie always tells your Holly good morning...he "chirps" with her :)
Thank you for sharing this. It’s always a pleasure watching your videos. You are so creative, and you never fail to make me smile. I’m going to go play with my one index cards, and supplies and see what I come up with.
You are so funny, in such a wonderful way!! X you really are wonderful!! X I just chuckle away as you blend skill, humour and such a natural way to be, all together seamlessly x I just think you are fabulous to watch and hear and sooooooo motivating and inspirational, I'm sitting making some of your pockets as I'm listening to this one x hairy hobbit hands, just gorgeous x much love from the UK xx
LOL! “Become your own tweezers”....that made my day. 🥰. Those came out cute and it was so good to be reminded of the simple things we can do. Enjoy your weekend Pam. ❤️
Hi! I am watching you for the first time . I am enjoying your video. I had 2 strokes 2 years ago and sometimes I can't follow what you do. But I watch in the hope that I can learn something. I am stuck in my house due to the strokes that I have suffered. So I need things that I can learn . Thanks for sharing your talent with the rest of us.
I could see using vintage postcards or even ads for the backing of the index cards. My mind went right there when I saw your first one as it reminded me of a vintage pc.
It just so happened that I also was collaging index cards when I opened this video to watch. Ironic... LOL! Collaging is one of my all-time favorite things to do. I love it so much that I am now overflowing in journal cards. I love to watch you create. It is pure artistry. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming.
Hi 👋🏻 Pam, been missing you because I can’t get on my treadmill in the morning for awhile & I need to catch up with you because i is your entertainment!😁 You’re so much fun!🥰
GREAT idea. I am making a recipe journal/book for my grandson's fiancee and wanted to put some index cards in for her to add recipes. Now I know how to decorate them! Yummy little food pictures, other things. Thanks for the idea!!!
I have recipe cards from my mom-mom’s recipe box that are beautifully aged. The cards that don’t speak to me for their recipes I’ve been turning into journal cards.

You are so fun to watch. You are so talented.
Your commentary alone is so entertaining 🤣. The cards are so lovely.
I have a lot of small ones. Going to make some. Nice idea
Thanks Pam. Have a good day.
I have yet to begin my first junk journal. I keep watching and rewatching your videos and collecting things. Yesterday I bought books at the flee market filled with wonderful pictures to cut out and even found a book for stamp collecting that had an envelope filled with stamps someone had good intentions for!!
Betty, just start … you don’t have to make a book right away, once you start the creative process good things will happen ❤️
It's flea market
Just start! I did the same as you and when I eventually started I didn't use half of the stuff I collected because as time goes by you collect even more things that inspire you in that moment. I ended up with a bunch of things I was inspired by before but I wasn't feeling that same vibe or theme anymore.
I am having a difficult time putting things together. So frustrating
@@rubielou23 yes, I know what you mean. Do you put the journal together or decorate the pages first...who knows, perhaps both!
I'm glad that I am not the only one who talks to paper and scissors but at least you have an excuse making a video. Love watching you while i'm crafting over here in England.
Years ago I worked with children, and for a project I took index cards, folded in half, decorated with stickers, crayins/markers, etc. and took them to veterans hospitals/nursing homes for tray favors. Pam, I like these ideas, too.
Pam you make crafting fun! Remember 2 year olds have lots of joy playing with colours! You lift my soul thank you 🌻🏵🌼💐
pam you are just so fun .i watercolored a landscape on index card stock it worked nicely .while you created i did too.thank you
So understated and stylish.... Love, love it. Marion
Lol! I often sing (to the tune of o Tannenbaum) -“o thing I’ve lost o thing I’ve lost, I need to find you right now”
Now I have an earworm (Ohrwurm) stuck to my ears. 😅
@@blaaaaaaarrrrr I’m sorry 😛
@@shannonroysden7908 😅🎄🎄
Lol
Hahah. That’s great!
Love how you talk & sing to your art materials 🎵🎶🖌🎨
These are so very cute. I love, love, love your projects. Thanks too for giving us close-up camera angles. It makes all the difference.
Hi Pam. Watched a very depressingly eye opening video this morning. You have totally cheered me up! I absolutely love your spontaneous childlike designs. Perfection can be so boring. Thank you so much for reminding me that there is Joy in the world when we open ourselves up to the possibilities!
💜 your sentence!!:
“Perfection can be so boring.”
I like using a single hole punch for my corners sometimes. Makes a lovely scalloped edge
You are so fun to listen to.... information with smile making!!
Another great day creating with you Pam.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
❤🌹🙂
It's so nice to hang out with others who like papers, texture, and the looks & the feel of paper. I always thought it was a weird addiction, so I was sort of a closet paper hoarder!
Lol keeps you off the street. These are wonderful. Thanks Pam.
Create w reckless abandon. Was waiting for sunnie to appear. Alas, but tnx for speaking of him
Great ideas! I have 400 regular index cards in white and bright colors plus 150 or so larger 4x6 cards. These ideas will be great to start using them up!
Oooo, I have some pretty index cards I got a couple years ago, Ombre coloring on them. They will be fun to work with!
Oh my, I have the exact same inking brush, that I also broke the handle on......I have found my tribe.........love these!
I absolutely LOVE your cadence, humor and style! Your a gal after my own heart! I wanna be you when I grow up!
"You can make things with different combinations of things you already have". Oh yeah, huh? 🤔 Sometimes I forget that. 🤦 It's fun to get new stuff but a mighty fine idea to dig out some older supplies - including makeup 💄 or maybe crayons🖍️ - and bring them back to life!

I really like the painted butterfly approach! Gotta get a fan brush now 😊
Love the cute crunch ribbon on edge adorable
Another awesome time crafting with you! ❤
Wow...what a brilliant idea of how to make quick and easy butterflies! Thank you for a lovely tutorial.
I don't have index cards, but a cereal box with a line stamp, works just as well! 😉
Thank you, Pam for the inspiration
They work great as flat fillers, in journals and there's extra writing space! a win/win!
You were ruching!! 😃
Hello to Holly, such a happy bird 🦜

It’s always fun watching you. You could always put a row of Pearl drops down one side.
As usual I throughly enjoy watching you..while laughing the whole time...you have the gift of gab..that's for sure..thanks for sharing your ideas. And time...
Haircut sheers are my favorite fussy cutters. They fit my man hands comfortably 🙌 scissors ✂️
I just love how you clear a desk, if I did that my goodness ,so much would end up on the floor
Very cute and funny and also an English vocabulary class!!! Lots of new words for me. My first language is Spanish. Hugs from Ecuador.

Pam you are a true artist and I love that you love what you do!
That is very kind Robin, thank you! :)
Manicure scissors work well for tiny spaces in fussy-cutting. Some even have curved blades.
Good morning! Just bought a bunch of index cards from the thrift store. Also have some gelatos that i have never used. Perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon! 💕
THATS WHY I LOOK SO OLD,
GOTTA STOP EM INKING ME 😁

😳 What are vacuum cleaners for then? 😅 I've been using mine for the wrong thing for years (not too many😋) then!
What the heck?....what did he think you should be using your vacuum for? A coatrack?
Loving distress crayons. Loving your reckless abandon!
So fun, enjoyed this so much and a tutorial too. Thank You xx😁💚
I just found your TH-cam channel! I can't wait to try these new ideas! Thank you so very much! Have a Blessed night!
Your videos are always a blast! I do hope you know that not only are you very creative and a great teacher; you are an inspiration. Your happy personality and quirky humor make my day so much more enjoyable!💗💗💗
Watching this as I put the finishing touches to my 14th junk journal for Christmas presents! Love playing with paper as well.
Very easy project today Pam! Tyfs! Good morning Sunshine!~~hugs~~
Love the bird Pam makes me happy xx
And my blue ink!!! 😊😊😊

LO lol!!!🤪😱😂🤣😆😅
Love this the watercolor and ribbon were my favorites
I have used gelatos with stencils but the reverse way. Colored a sheet, put the stencil down and use the baby wipe.
Also, you can color on the side on like paper plate, washable plastic, etc... then add a little water to that and sponge dab it onto stencil... I love gelatos! Even just scribbling a couple colors on the page, then blending with baby wipe with or without stencil! Awesomeness!😁👍
love your bags! TYFS
