Just a tip for someone who is looking for very inexpensive chipboard. Dollar tree 3 ring binders can be used, all you have to do is cut the ring binder off using a craft knife. You can remove everything the vinyl from the 2 sides left very easily because it’s not glued down to the chip board. They are pretty sturdy and make great pieces for books like this. If you find binders at garage sales you can usually them very cheap as well.
I sure wish you hadn't edited out setting off the smoke alarm! That would have been worth a good giggle and a lesson in how to stop the alarm and clear the smoke from the kitchen. LOLLOL I love that you do stuff like this and then mention it! It's the reality of crafting play!

I had an African gray that we rescued for about 25 years. Her name was Grey Bird. I thought they just called her that because they didn't know her name until she corrected me one day for calling her the new name I had given her. she waas a hoot and was necked from pulling her feathers, but we loved her just the same. She loved my husband the best. Anyways, she would act like she was the door alarm at a store and make the alarm noise anytime anyone went in or out. I sure do miss her.
Love your video ❤ just a quick question: Where is your video on how to make a journal cover from chipboard and tape from scratch? I could find the link in your description 🤔 Thank you Tara
Oh my lord, you used a piece of ephemera today that said PALMERTON, PA you are in MY neck of the woods, about 30 min north of Hellertown, PA. My daughter lived in Palmerton, PA for about 8 or so years. It’s up toward the Poconos, used to be coal/zinc mining country. Ya should have stopped by for a cuppa, lol.
When I'm watching your videos it's so funny when you say Gizmo... That's my kittens name and he always responds... He thinks you're taking to him.... Lol
Yes, many make their own mod podge by adding a little water to PVA glue. But remember that water sometimes warps paper. You can use plain PVA glue on its own too :)
Hi Pam, Would it be easier to collage the edges first, then do the front and back covers? Yeah if I could, I'd buy your digital coffee dyed papers to use, but first I'd have to buy a more economical printer and before that I'd hire someone to build me my own craft space so I could create with reckless abandon and not worry about any messes. I don't ask for too much, do I? LOL I hope you and yours (birdies & all) are doing well. I'm so very happy I have my new long distance friend Camille. Take care dear Pam and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Bobbi... a digi kit is a collection of papers or ephemera or other items that people collect and sell. They are downloadable and you print them yourself. Many people sell crafting papers and things on Etsy. So many to chose from. Pam usually shares different Etsy shops you can buy from and she has he own Etsy Shop. Hope that helps as I don’t think I explained it very well.
HI Bobbi, digikits, or digital printables are computer files you download ( from Etsy for example). Folks like digikits if they cannot find the images or vintage ephemera themselves, or have no room to store it, or it is too expensive when they find the real stuff. :) Here is my link to my Etsy Shop if you wish to see some examples :) www.etsy.com/shop/ThePaperOutpost

My husband used my Fabri-Fix to glue the rubber tip on his metal watering can! lol I'm always amazed at what it can be used for! x
Love the humour along with the great ideas.

Great videoas always😁

Tara
Watch you an I love your stuff….
Its always liberating to get a glue bath, you crack me up. Lost you at the end, its okay catch you on the next one. Thanks for the video, take care!
Who knew you could buy fabric trim from dollar tree. You are a font of info. Thx
Oh my lord, you used a piece of ephemera today that said PALMERTON, PA you are in MY neck of the woods, about 30 min north of Hellertown, PA.

But when and how do you put the signatures in if the pretty binding is already on?
What is the size of the name plate you are using?
When I'm watching your videos it's so funny when you say Gizmo... That's my kittens name and he always responds... He thinks you're taking to him.... Lol
I am cracking up over your dying comment, you are so fun to watch!
Can we use PVA glue instead of mod podge
Yes, many make their own mod podge by adding a little water to PVA glue. But remember that water sometimes warps paper. You can use plain PVA glue on its own too :)
Oh thanks for replying😀
Hi Pam,
Would it be easier to collage the edges first, then do the front and back covers? Yeah if I could, I'd buy your digital coffee dyed papers to use, but first I'd have to buy a more economical printer and before that I'd hire someone to build me my own craft space so I could create with reckless abandon and not worry about any messes.

I hope you and yours (birdies & all) are doing well. I'm so very happy I have my new long distance friend Camille. Take care dear Pam and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Yes, I think your tip makes great sense!! I am so happy you and Camille connected!! :) That is so cool!
For the front cover it took you approximately 10 minutes to glue all the scraps down, does the scotch glue stick stay wet that entire time?
No, I suggest working in sections and you can always apply more glue stick if it dries :)
What type of bird?
I've been thinking of getting an Edith Holden book, is it really full of pictures, or is it kind of sparse?
Get the Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady and I think you will be happy - lots of pictures!
