I love how you show its ok to mess up, it can always be fixed or become nice embellishment addon

@karenstclair9420 6 years ago

Pam! You have no idea how watching these 3 videos have inspired me. I am dealing with several medical issues and these vids are going to get me to doing something in my art room where things make more sense in stead of between my ears. That's just a bad space to hang out right now. Hugs, Karen. P. S I live for the sound effects! Thank You!

I view my junk mail and trash in a very different way now thanks to you! I love that this project is recycling paper! Can't wait to do this project!

I just found this video. Jumped out of the tub and ran to my craft table.
I to have become an expert at camouflage for the same reason. Random abandonment crafting. Definitely my love of mixed media comes in handy.
Tim Holtz now has an embossing folder like this. I am going to give it a try

This is my most favourite journal ever, I’d love to see more like this or using this design on other craft ideas too. Love this Pam. I’m having a lot of fun watching some of the golden oldie playlists and getting lots of inspiration for non witchy craftiness! Thanks Pam, your a legend!

@carolknixon936 6 years ago

Hi Pam. I love this design. I actually love all your projects. But mostly I love your commentary. Your sense of humor is charming. Keep the videos coming.

@chickeemama1 5 years ago

I know this is an older video but I’ve really really enjoyed the first 2 parts so far! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I can’t wait to try it!

@londonthompson9730 6 years ago

OMG, you are genius!!
I stumbled on to your channel and subbed immediately 😝
I love how you deliver such details and tips.

I'll be using your idea to save our late parents items from their wedding, retirement and the such.
And for my vacations, travels and DIYs 🤗
TFS

@DLove-of-God 6 years ago

This is great Pam! So many tips I can use though this project is beyond the jj beginner here with hand issues. But we have the treasure cove of your tutorials always archived for when needed. I love listening to you and you not only bring out the child in us but make any day shine. 🤩

@catbroda3590 6 years ago

Love all your sound effects. lol

@glynisjohnson5501 4 years ago

Pam I so appreciate you your Energy is wonderful listening to you I believe in the arts that I create no rules really apply by anyone outside of myself.

@fancydeer 6 years ago

You crack me up. You remind me of my mom so much. Also I scavenged a graham cracker box and am currently in the process of turning it into a project of my own. Because I need to start hoarding literal trash now I guess. XD

@lnwmelon 6 years ago

I love listening to your chatter as you work and explain. I love watching your creative process. This is truly a work of art and as I’m getting ready to click on part 3 I just wanted to comment and let you know that I’m truly enjoying this tutorial.

The spine orientation changed! :o Still loving it.

@dorothyatchison1825 5 years ago

First time I’ve watched one of your vids ... this was great and you are so friggin’ funny ...thanks a million for making your journal out of actual junk instead of spending a heap big pile of “mulla” on coordinating papers and ephemera...
