    ❤❤❤ 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.

    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 🧡🖤💜

    • @leighcreates
      @leighcreates 4 дня назад

      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.

    • @kristinehulet1997
      @kristinehulet1997 4 дня назад

      ​@@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.

    • @leighcreates
      @leighcreates 22 дня назад

      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
