This is actually the perfect journal for us perfectionists to make as our first journal! It breaks that tendency to be too careful or fearful. Reckless abandon can happen! I am making one right now to hush up that critical inner wench who tries to rule my life lol! 🤍👀🤍
Ty Pam! Woke up this morning thinking I need to check your channel. I wanted to make a real junk journal. I don’t have all the beautiful cutouts, pretty papers and digitals like the big girls. So, off to my crafting table I go!
Me Either!! I've Had to get REALLY creative... such as... Lg. Multi Colored Eye shadow pallets from $ store. Use the applicator to rub on the edges, eye liner pencils for edging... then use a Makeup sponge to blend it & rub it in.. Really good. A quick little spritz of Hair Spray over the areas where applied might not hurt to help set it. I have bottles of house paint. eve
Pam…yours is my favourite channel on RUclips…because of your fun, ideas, cheerfulness, little Sunny, the fact there is no perfectionism here…just creativity and art and colour and fun…thank you. Carole from Scotland.xxx
Hi Pam , You won’t believe me but iv gone back as far as it would let me, To catch up on your videos , absolutely binged watched you for a week. You are hilarious , and so easy to understand , iv not crafted for over a year , and was looking for inspiration, you have buckets of it. 😝 So thank you for the push I needed and I think I will go back to basic start my crafting journey again , I’ll be 👀👀 👍❤️
I'm loving the McJournal!! ...talk about artistic license! I must say tho' Pam, the most amazing thing here was when you said that you can get out of the Dollar Tree for 20 bucks! You are clearly a far better woman than I. With much respect, MK ❤😁🏜
Pam you are amazing! How DO you come up with these fabulous ideas. You are so much fun. I enjoy you so very much. I appreciate you sharing your fun ideas. Does your crafty brain ever take a break. Love love all you do! Truly something out of JUNK.
You know what I'm going to ask a couple of friends over and have a day of making junk food journal making, we're going to have lunch and do art, yeah!!! Thank you.
@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol actually that's my sister's Doberman when she went to get a new one. She sent me that pic and I thought it was so cute too, so I used it. His name is Bentley. He's gotten so big now, Hehe.!!! She's had dobermans all her life. Thank you.
I love that your showing how to use anything to make JUNK! journals, using anything is good and fun to try, like our findings/trash from home, especially when your not able to get out. Thank you
Seems to me you need to send this video to McDonalds corporate so they can consider you for a special sponsorship. 🤩🤩😂😂😂 So very creative. You continually impress me!
Oh...LOVE this, Pam. I made a birthday card for our youngest last month & used a Mcdonalds' fry container...decorated it...not only did she recognize what it was...she LOVED it! And yes, I cleaned the "pouch" up before using it. lol
Pam, you are such a hoot!! You had such fun and we had such fun watching!! You make me forget my troubles and laugh for a while. Your new camera and mic worked great by the way.
I love that you are courageous enough to go back to the basics of junk journaling…. I mean there is so much beautiful expensive paper & design paper out there and being used that you sometimes no longer can speak of junk journals. Don’t get me wrong I like all those beautiful journals …. No judgement there… I try to work with only real junk papers….. its challenging but fun .
Only you would come up with this one!🤣😂. It’s actually really cute...I love the cover. Panera has some interesting paper items and I’ve saved a few of those. Yeah! A visit from Sunshine.❤️. 🥰👍
"You may want to fast forward through this bit".... Are you kidding? Never!!! And miss the dialogue and the possibility of Sunny popping in? I'm devoted to the whole video. Every time 💞
Pam, Your wireless microphone sounds great. I am always in awe of your video setup and how gracefully you use it, switching so quickly between regular and closeup, or flipping it to show your sewing machine. Plus your surfaces are always perfectly lit and in focus. Not every RUclips can say those things! Would you consider making a video showing your setup and exactly how you use it? I have not found anything out there that is thorough enough for me to feel comfortable buying equipment and giving it a try. Cheers :)
Multi-meal, I absolutely adore you. The napkin flower looks like a rose 🌺 Looking forward to part 2 of the junk food junk journal. Hugs galore to the lovely Pamily.
The sound is GOOD! :D Perfect project when you´re scared to use your fancy stuff and just want to play around with ideas :) less fear when you only use trash! so, thank you for your snackrifice ;) 💜💜💜
Make yourself an "ugly" journal where the ONLY goal is to try stuff out--like Frankenstein's monster...make it just to see if it works...(use the uglies that are usually in every packet of goodies)...Nothin' to fear 😉😎
Firstly, how did you know that I needed a nice long video today and secondly I spent last night making a journal cover out of my cheesecake box, cream smears and all. Are you a mind reader? Magician? Thanks Pam ⭐️❤️
Love watching your videos. I don't do any paper crafting at the moment but still so enjoy watching you being creative and you have such a fun personality. Really brightens each day I watch you. Thank you so much
I am going to have to join this one in real time ! I started collecting stuff but never got it actually in the making. This will be so fun . Can’t wait to see what y’all come up with .
Hi Pam!❤ The kid menus at restraunts are great because they are long enough to make a pocket on one side. 😊 ...and it's from a food place. My daughter loves to color and I've accumulated a small tote of all her "school" papers from prek to 1st grade. Some dated others are just doodles and I thought, hmm great signatures I can keep those memories contained in a book now 😀 I
Hi Pam 🙋♀️ I love the fact that you will make junk journals and things out of anything. Shows one does not have to pay a lot of money to be creative. I have been collecting things for quite sometime now for the journals and ephemera that l intend to make. Trouble is all these things that l am now gathering are sitting there waiting for me to make a start. You do inspire me, so time to stop procrastinating and start doing 🙂 Love from Australia. 💖🌺🌹🙂🙋♀️ Also love to Sunny and Holly 💖🐶🦜💖
Hi Pam... this was such fun. And no, I have never paid attention to the inside of the fry box. So cool to see fries depicted. I love the cover's appearance, it looks sort of like leather. I really like it. Can't wait to watch part 2. Thanks for the many giggles you gave. I appreciate them. 🥰❤️
I have a basket in my kitchen for all the "junk" that can be used for true junk journals. I collect envelopes, junk mail flyers, wrappers, can labels, tags, torn out words from thin food boxes, produce stickers, and anything else that I know is unique and can be saved from the trash. These things make the most eclectic, funky, and colorful journals ever. Just like the McJournal!!
Howdy neighbor! Another great video. I am absolutely amazed how you come up with ideas three times a week. This was awesome. And by the way, camera and audio is perfect. Thanks for all you do, the many laughs, and sweet Sunny😘
Pam: seems like everything technical is working. This was a very clever, creative idea. Just goes to show what you can do with discards. (Garbage) Absolutely brilliant! Carol from California
I really love this , it is so satisfying to take trash and turn it into something beautiful and useful. I love your videos also, they are so fun and upbeat. You lifted my spirits so many times. I have lot going on right and your positive, happy personality helps so much. Thank you 💖
Oh, how I miss Dunkin Donuts! 🍩 they all went out of business over here (Portland Oregon) years ago. Chocolate cream filled! I'm going to try making something out of one of those long Subway sandwiche bags
I love your brain Pam! This was such a fun video to watch! I learn from all your videos and this one really brought home... it's only paper so have fun! You gave care even too a greasy bag and brought out a journal! I should go to bed but now I must go find part 2! Thank you so very much for sharing!
I just made my first cloth covered junk journal yesterday... somewhat loosely from an earlier tutorial of yours ( used the loss leader from the mail) I am however, ahead of you on the restaurant ware! LOL. I used a brown napkin (clean of course) to cover a page! And then while the pva was drying I smudged discarded makeup that my Grandaughter was not interested in using! Reckless Abandon IN PROGRESS! 🙌🏼❤️😂
This is actually the perfect journal for us perfectionists to make as our first journal! It breaks that tendency to be too careful or fearful. Reckless abandon can happen! I am making one right now to hush up that critical inner wench who tries to rule my life lol! 🤍👀🤍
Tie your inner perfectionistic critic in a chair by the window and make her count blades of grass while you play--that should keep her occupied. 👍🏼😎
@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol Excellent idea! Now, which chair to choose….😎😂😎

Kudos Pam....new phone and wireless mic!!!!! Both are coming through loud and clear. I love it!!! xoxo Diane
I used a French bread wrapper to make pages in my journal. It has a window in it (to see the product) and makes a lovely pocket.
I'm loving the McJournal!! ...talk about artistic license! I must say tho' Pam, the most amazing thing here was when you said that you can get out of the Dollar Tree for 20 bucks! You are clearly a far better woman than I. With much respect, MK ❤😁🏜

Thank you for considering people who can’t afford to buy ( and store) every new stamp and die cuts ( and I do love them all!)- THANK YOU!
Really liking the flowers!!! Super cute!
I love that your showing how to use anything to make JUNK! journals, using anything is good and fun to try, like our findings/trash from home, especially when your not able to get out. Thank you
You sound great!
Pam, you truly make my day!
And your creativity with items
You truly can make make a silk purse from a Sows's ear!
Seems to me you need to send this video to McDonalds corporate so they can consider you for a special sponsorship. 🤩🤩😂😂😂 So very creative. You continually impress me!
Fabulous idea Pam
When my grandaughter is out of lockdown we are going to make real junk journals. I love this journal and thought the flowers were gorgeous.
Oh...LOVE this, Pam. I made a birthday card for our youngest last month & used a Mcdonalds' fry container...decorated it...not only did she recognize what it was...she LOVED it! And yes, I cleaned the "pouch" up before using it. lol
The mic is working fine pam. This is the true defination of a junk journal
Nice one taking it for the team maccas n donuts, you poor thing lol.
You are definitely the paper wizard working your magic . Such fun watching you create. Nice to see Sunny too. Blessings
Junk food and journal making...heaven. Great Pam !
Oh yes!
The wireless sound is great ,,, really clear even to my old ear's
Oh Pam! You can’t leave it laying anywhere when you leave cause Rover and Rufus will eat it !!!!!!
🤣🐈⬛🐶🐩😂 Shirl K
Pam, you are such a hoot!! You had such fun and we had such fun watching!! You make me forget my troubles and laugh for a while. Your new camera and mic worked great by the way.
Thank you for inspiring me and others. Pam could you show your bird for us. I always hear in the background lol.
Sounds good 👍
This is FANTASTIC!!!! I’ve used fast food bags torn into strips & gathered into a ruffle!!!
ooh!! genius. i want to try that!
Good Morning Pam, Holly and Sunny!!! You make my mornings 1000% better
You make me smile!

Don’t get me wrong I like all those beautiful journals …. No judgement there… I try to work with only real junk papers….. its challenging but fun .
I love the advice on staggering the holes if you need to add extra signatures! Every day I watch your videos I learned something new :)
I'm thinking junk food containers from a vacation would be a good base for a trip journal! Might even give you something to work on during your trip.
A true junk junk journal Pam. Amazing how much the cover looks like a Japanese tree garden or something. Awesome.
That scrunchy flower is definitely a rose. Great job! 😊
Bellisimooo lo iba haciendo con vos!!!!!
Thank you for your sacrifice of going to DD. 😉
how fun and i love sunny! i’ve got one of my own ☺️
Only you would come up with this one!🤣😂. It’s actually really cute...I love the cover. Panera has some interesting paper items and I’ve saved a few of those. Yeah! A visit from Sunshine.❤️. 🥰👍
Your imagination is boundless......😻
Wow, never would have thought to use junk food wrappers to craft!!! Love breaking that box wide open as I craft outside it!!! LOL
you are soooooo creative,and you crack me up! you are a hoot. coming in loud and clear.lol
Oh my... what a sacrifice!!!! What a gal!!! 🥰
"You may want to fast forward through this bit".... Are you kidding? Never!!! And miss the dialogue and the possibility of Sunny popping in? I'm devoted to the whole video. Every time 💞
Journal and lunch on a budget!! ✌️🕉️🐞
Pam your great. Can you please give us some ideas on how to use more music paper pages? I've hit a road block and thought you might help
What a cute, creative journal. 😍 well done.
Pam, I so enjoy your videos and have learned so much. I'm new at journaling I hope I get better at it . Thanks for sharing. 💜

Your sound is perfect. The video is perfect. I’m not sure if I’ll go out for junk food, we shall see. lol
I think it's cute and ingenious
You think wrinkles are gorgeous? Yes!
Multi-meal, I absolutely adore you. The napkin flower looks like a rose 🌺 Looking forward to part 2 of the junk food junk journal. Hugs galore to the lovely Pamily.

Hi Pam!❤
The kid menus at restraunts are great because they are long enough to make a pocket on one side. 😊 ...and it's from a food place. My daughter loves to color and I've accumulated a small tote of all her "school" papers from prek to 1st grade. Some dated others are just doodles and I thought, hmm great signatures I can keep those memories contained in a book now 😀

Great idea 😊❤
@@karmasnan Thank you 😊

You are a delight, so glad I found you. Trying to get up the nerve to make my 1st junk journal. 😊❤🌹🌻💜
This is the PERFECT "in"--can't ruin a darn thing--go!! Play!! As the lady says: Create with reckless abandon!! YOU GOT THIS. 😎
I’ve been keeping various bags; mostly Chick-fil-A, but others as well. Will be using those to make a few paper bag journals!
I love the flowers! Mine would look like paper stuck to the bag! You amaze me!
What a unique idea!! You’re awesome!😅
Love this 😍👏👏🤗💐🌷❤🌼
Hey you get an A+ for creativity.
I can hear you and a great camera!
I will never look at a fast food bags the same again 🙂
Really cool!! 🍟
