I love how fast your videos are!! It’s like straight to the point and not sharing about the cat, the neighbor and everything else around the sun!! ☀️ I love how it came out!!

[@linaleblanc8288]

I know what you mean. That's so darn annoying

[@franciemontgomery2935]

I actually love hearing about "the cat, the neighbor and everything around the sun." 😅❤😊

[@thriftyday]

haha aww so happy you like them:)) Makes me very happy to hear😃

[@meridithlevinson5814]

Agree: a 10-15 minute video is really easy to watch. I rarely have time to watch a 45 min video in one sitting.

[@Emilydee456]

I’m 32 & just discovered your channel and have been binging! Id never heard of junk journaling before but I used to make collages and this has inspired me to graduate to this form.

[@miarenee6703]

I’m happy you made a part 2. This looks fun, and I’m looking forward to making one. I’m going to have to pick up that kind of glue stick at Michael’s. Thanks for all of the helpful tips! ❤

[@pamhauer-mcbroom7520]

I’d really love to see that accordion hook you have on your wall. The glimpses of it while you’re showing the journal at the end are just delicious! It looks fun and eclectic, and I love the bits I can see!

[@jillmartin1363]

Thank u for this tutorial . I was searching for an easy junk journal tutorial to teach my 9 yr old grandayhter.. & i think this will do th job. Being a journaler myself i thought this would b a exciting way to inspire her. Thanx again Jill M

[@crystalwaddell537]

I'm planning a Toy Story journal for my best friend. Her son passed away suddenly and the movie is very special to her because it's reminds her of him. Thanks for a great tutorial!!

[@thriftyday]

oh my goodness, what a kind and thoughtful gift ❤Im so sorry for your friends loss:(

[@mama5vintagehive767]

Such a fun journal. I'd like to make one for my granddaughter! I'm not much of a journaler but this is so inspiring... maybe it would encourage me to start!

[@yvonnewilliamson]

I love this look. Thank you. I think I m hooked.

[@margieclements6177]

I love that! My granddaughter asked me the other day to write down some of my recipes. So I bought a pad like you are using now and decorated the top and back some. It turned out so cute and I hope she will love it once I completely finish it.

[@thriftyday]

oh that will be so special to her!! I wish I had my grandmas recipes and her writing❤

[@eloisehuckstep1057]

I’m so happy for this

This is such an easy and fun journal to make! I love the vintage vibes. I have "The Rand McNally Book of Favorite Pillow Time Tales" that has such sweet illustrations. I haven't used any of it yet, but you have inspired me. What am I waiting for?!

[@thriftyday]

Yay!! SO happy to have inspired!! So fun and easy too☺

[@lorrainecrozier9036]

Loving it! Leah, will you make another Craft Fair Drop video?❤❤❤

[@shannonelliott4046]

I love how you decorate ur journals!!!...I don't know if you would want to try using different shades of eye shadow for distressing ur pages, I have used eye shadows and blushes to add distress and colors...it looks just like the distress ink, also I use bingo doppers as well...from rebecca hoot, she does that. Still, ur journals are adorable! Thank you for sharing. Like I told you before, I am working on 3 different junk journals right now...different themes 🤭❤ 10:19

Thank you!! I can't remember but I think I do have a large storybook tutorial here on KZbin:)) Yay!

[@MsGobijuan]

Yes I like how concise they are! Too much idle conversation wastes my time then I switch off to a different channel.

[@terribarone5788]

Leah, Love your videos. Do you need to be a patreon to find out how you add a calendar and a daily planner to your journal? I am new to making planners and need a lot of help?

[@OfeliasCreativeHeart]

Hi Leah……do you have to seal the cover? Love seeing how you make your junk journals & it has inspired me to make one. I actually bought everything to start on my own & I didn’t even spend that much which is so great! Thank you for your tutorials & ideas;)

[@thriftyday]

you dont need to seal it:)) I didn't seal my most recent one:))

[@csanchez1020]

I've added pockets to the inside covers, washi on the page edges, fabric tabs, and ruffles. I also added pockets, tucks, and belly bands to the added in pages. I haven't chosen a cover image yet. I'm working on Ephemera to add. I'm also at different steps with two more of this style journal! Do you think I'm enjoying this? Lol.

[@jillmartin1363]

Sounds like your getting right into it . I might even have a go at this method too. It's seems to be a quick & easy journal ... for children esp. Since they tend to lose interest quickly..

[@danaw.822]

Can you use mod podge for the cover?

[@thriftyday]

You can, but I know some people have mentioned that it can feel sticky. I have always used the same brand of sealer so im not entirely sure about the sticky part. its only what I've heard through the grapevine:)

[@barbarafunk8767]

What brand of liquid text sealer are you using?

[@montanagal9007]

The brand is Liquitex. 😊
