❤❤❤❤
I managed a no cost journal. I found a pillow case that was not being used for my fabric and I have lots of paper. Had doily in my hordes of stuff that I also used. It’s been fun.
Sounds wonderful Margaret, thanks for sharing that with me. Cheers
Just love this idea Leigh, I am making one from a cruskit box and I am going to attempt Dephemberember this year for the first time
Good on you Julie, that is a good sized box to use (working my way through a packet of them at the moment, lol). Have fun with your Dephemerember adventure. Cheers
Would make a fantastic ephemera keeper!
Certainly would, thanks, cheers.
Hi Leigh - I love this video and you made the journal and how it came out. Great. Hugs
Thank you so much Jackie, cheers xx
Thanks for sharing your fun crafting ideas 😍⚘️
Glad you like them! Thank you, cheers.
❤❤❤ As someone who struggles with the whole grunge concept I love these ideas Leigh. I admire grungy journals that other people do but when it comes to my own I don't quite feel the vibe,and usually end up disappointed with my own creations. I actually think this might help me develop my own style. Thanks again for all your share. Hope you are doing well. Hugs from the Fraser Coast.
Hello from Sunny Coast Sharon, have fun getting your grunge going. Sometimes when I'm trying not to do grunge it ends up that way cause I've over-inked or used too much stabilo pencil or something. Enjoy playing in the grunge. Thank you, cheers.
Very patient of you, Leigh to make this with all the steps involved in the box remakes. Very creative. I don't have the patience for this at all...😂
Thanks Kay, cheers.
that is pretty great!
Thank you, cheers.
You really nailed it with this type of journal! They’re definitely true junk journals, and true trash to treasures. You make these seem like they are so easy to make, that I think I could actually actually pull it off.😂 I have always loved how freely you create. I feel as if I ever need inspiration I can just watch one of your videos ! Hugs 🤗❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words Tamara, so happy you like this book. They really are easy to construct and you would have no problems making one. Had fun decorating with that mangey little makeup sponge. Hugs xx
I love using the food boxes, I hadn't thought to sand them.
I've got a tub full of the boxes. I sanded so the paint didn't peel off later. If gluing with a good glue, it shouldn't need to be sanded. I also like the texture it creates. Cheers
That is beautiful! You decorated the pages so wonderfully. Really like it a lot.
I'm glad you like it Debbie, thank you very much, cheers.
I love how freely and fearlessly you create and it always turns out so pretty
Thank you, cheers.
After watching the second video, I went back for the first one. Again, brilliant idea, love the binding‼️ Wondering how I could use the papers I already have... May tear 🤔 Thank you so much for sharing your ideas 🩷
Wonderful to hear.Will be making another one of these using 'regular' papers shortly so keep an eye out for that one. Cheers
@@leighcreates looking forward to it!!
Awesome ❤❤❤ love this style
Thank you! Cheers!
Here's another version of the cloth bound book. This one is made from food boxes. Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for sharing Leigh. I liked the effect of the sewing paper on the front. It made it look like an old book to me. I can't wait to see your Halloween book too.
Thanks Toni, it does look like an old book doesn't it. Would make a great cover for a book of spells or magic things. Thanks for watching and comment, have been trying to get the Halloween book sorted but seem to have lost my traction with that one. Cheers
All good things come to those who wait. I'll happily wait until you feel inspired to do a Halloween journal. I don't decorate the house for Halloween but like looking at journals. You could always make a spooky journal. Im thinking about doing one called Dark and Mysterious themed.
Hi Leigh! Thats a lot of pepperoni, I dont think i could eat that much! 😂 Why do you need all the pages to be that heavy? Do you have a special reason for this kind of junk journal? I liked the use of the sewing tissue when its scrunched up and all the stencil work. Tyfs 🧡🖤💜
Hi Jayne, my 17 year old grandson ate all that, had him with us for 10 weeks. The pages don't need to be heavy. It's a trash to treasure upcyle so the idea was to use up the boxes rather than throw them into the recycling bin. I do love the feel of chunky pages though, there is a solidness about them that I like. Glad you like the sewing tissue.
@@leighcreatesI made one in your no sew style and felt that the sturdy page material was necessary to hold up to the stress created by tying the binding strips. Lighter weight page substrates might need reinforcement at the slits? Love that I can use those food package boxes I almost threw away cuz I am not going to make them into journal covers. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Great binding 😍 very creative!!
Thank you Gisela (beautiful name you have there), glad you like it, cheers.
Very clever❤
Thank you, cheers.
leigh love it, my life is so busy would want to make it like Barbara and Sow etc, might need to do this one. My second year. I think I got to know your channel through the last years one. You are very Inspirational.
Thank you, hope you have fun with the challenge. Cheers
Not sure if I will be playing along this year….heading to Europe on 13 Dec 😊
Hi Nikki, enjoy your European Vacation. Cheers
Appreciate that you showed the finished product before starting to share the process. So resourceful and pretty.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you, cheers.
Great idea Leigh. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Thanks for watching! Thank you, cheers.
What a great idea. Will make this for Dephemerember. Would work well for a child’s journal too.
Thank you, glad you like it, cheers.
Great demonstration ❤
Thank you Carol, cheers.
What a creative idea! Can't wait for Dephemerember to start!
Thank you, cheers.
Beautiful! And best thing is I already have the exact products you used!😊
Awesome, have fun with it. Thank you, cheers.
I haven’t seen this type of journal before. I really like it. Thanks so much!
Thank you, glad you like it. I first saw this particular binding method on Jennibellie's channel, had made something similar a way back myself. Always looking for a different way to make a journal. Cheers
Excellent journal idea
Thank you, cheers.
Gave me a great idea for a masterboard that I didn't really like but have been holding on to. Thank you!
Glad I could help! Thank you, cheers.
Hi Leigh, So glad you will be doing Dephemerber 2024 once again...I will too... I always look forward to the posting your videos for each prompt..👍 You're easy journal ideas, is such a great idea and so easy too..I might try that next time...this time I already made my journal to exchange and made it out of fabric this time and already decorated it. Thanks and have fun.❤
Thank you Linda, you too! Cheers xx
You are just amazing! This is really a very cute journal. I think it’s perfect as an art journal with all of those lovely file folders. You always come up with the best stuff to help us get going. Huge thanks for this adorable inspiration! Hugs 🤗❤️
Aw thanks Tamara. It is a really easy and adaptable way to get a journal knocked together real quick. Have had the file folders for ages, didn't want to use them cause I loved them so much. Now they have their place in the scheme of things. Still got a few more too. Hugs xx
Love this idea! I am planning to do this type of junk journal ❤️❤️
That's wonderful Gail. Thank you, cheers.
Great sturdy and no sew is always fun.😊
Oh yes, certainly is the way to go. Thank you, cheers.
You are such a good teacher! Thank you
Glad you think so! Thank you, cheers.
Great idea. I can do this. Thanks. ❤
Wonderful! Thank you, cheers.
What an awesome way to make a journal! Really like it a lot. Thank you for showing how to make this.
Glad you liked it! Thank you, cheers.
Very very nice …. I’m going to make one as I have a lot of heavy pages to use. I will also do Drfem but I hope they don’t get too silly with another Effie or such… it used to better but yes, I’ll be there. Hug hug.
Thank you Jackie, cheers.
My thoughts too. I was not much of a fan of the whole Effy theme. I hope it’s more generic this year.
👍👍👍
Thank you, cheers.
Great teacher. Thanks, Leigh.
Thanks a bunch! You’re awesome for saying that!
Really great!! Can’t wait to try this 😀
Hope you enjoy it!
😍 thank you greatly Leigh, you explained the progress really simply, I'm positive I'll now be able to make one, wanted to make one for a very long time. Thanks again 💖 take care crafty friend 🙃 🐨 ⚘️ 🧡
Thank you Jenny, glad the process was easy to follow. Cheers
Heelllllo, it's been some days. I love this thing you made.... big surprise. Hope all is good there. Going on to see what else I missed. Hug hug
Welcome back Jackie, hope all is well. Glad you like the card, cheers. xx
New here, Love this!
Thank you Donna, welcome. Hope you find inspiration here, cheers from Australia.
🙋♀️👍💕🇺🇸
I used spring flower catalogue. Lighter paper a bit easier.🙀
good idea.
Super directions
Thank you, cheers.
So cool ☺️ The half inch spacing for the cards to be attached to, is that for any size waterfall? Am starting a woodland animal journal for my granddaughter and it's perfect to go in it 💜
Thanks Karen, great question. The spacing needs to be big enough to glue on the cards securely. It also becomes the distance between the bottom of each card. Another thing to consider is whether or not wider spacings would turn over freely. In all the videos that I saw they used 1cm or half inch spacings. Maybe experiment with scraps to see what works for you. Cheers
@@leighcreates thanks, I will practice before making the one for her journal. I'm looking forward to having a go 🌻
Wow looks brilliant ❤
Thanks so much 😊
