Preparing for Dephemerember. How To Make A No-Cost 'Proper' Eco Friendly Junk Journal

[@CherrySignature3]

Love it

[@leighcreates]

Thank you, cheers.

[@kristinehulet1997]

Appreciate that you showed the finished product before starting to share the process. So resourceful and pretty.

[@leighcreates]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you, cheers.

[@adirondackErin]

Would make a fantastic ephemera keeper!

[@leighcreates]

Certainly would, thanks, cheers.

[@margaretschmidt7451]

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.

[@leighcreates]

Sounds wonderful Margaret, thanks for sharing that with me. Cheers

[@kristiegijanto7306]

What a great idea. Will make this for Dephemerember. Would work well for a child’s journal too.

[@leighcreates]

Thank you, glad you like it, cheers.

[@selinastephens5265]

Excellent journal idea

[@leighcreates]

Thank you, cheers.

[@tonimason8737]

Great idea Leigh. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

[@leighcreates]

Thanks for watching! Thank you, cheers.

[@crazycardlady]

You are such a good teacher! Thank you

[@leighcreates]

Glad you think so! Thank you, cheers.

[@stephanieh7967]

This is the first time I’ve seen this technique. Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@leighcreates]

I'm happy you liked it! I hope you try it out yourself.

[@TheMarvelousBeautyChannel1]

Gave me a great idea for a masterboard that I didn't really like but have been holding on to. Thank you!

[@leighcreates]

Glad I could help! Thank you, cheers.

[@trinapatterson8872]

What a great idea for a quick free journal. Yes I’m doing depherember

[@leighcreates]

Thank you, cheers.

[@juliekerr5681]

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

[@leighcreates]

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

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

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 🤗❤️

[@leighcreates]

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

[@annemillion1501]

What a creative idea! Can't wait for Dephemerember to start!

[@leighcreates]

Thank you, cheers.

[@teresadavis9283]

I like the idea of gluing down rather than removing the tabs in the middle. Makes the edges smoother and the spine stronger. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@leighcreates]

Great point, thanks & cheers.

[@CarolKnoles-c5m]

Great demonstration ❤

[@leighcreates]

Thank you Carol, cheers.

[@heatherparry3159]

I haven’t seen this type of journal before. I really like it. Thanks so much!

[@leighcreates]

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

[@annina_pure_creativity]

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.

[@leighcreates]

Thank you, hope you have fun with the challenge. Cheers

[@gailoliver5676]

Love this idea! I am planning to do this type of junk journal ❤️❤️

[@leighcreates]

That's wonderful Gail. Thank you, cheers.

[@giselalemus9057]

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 🩷

[@leighcreates]

Wonderful to hear.Will be making another one of these using 'regular' papers shortly so keep an eye out for that one. Cheers

[@giselalemus9057]

@@leighcreates looking forward to it!!

[@teresacobb1760]

Love your journal. Gonna make one for sure. I'm doing dephemerember! So I'll use your journal for another project. Thanks for your videos! Love them. ❤'s from Montreal!

[@leighcreates]

That's awesome, I'm sure your project will be amazing! Cheers from Sunshine Coast!

[@lindagonzalez6570]

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.❤

[@leighcreates]

Thank you Linda, you too! Cheers xx

[@debbiereed8341]

What an awesome way to make a journal! Really like it a lot. Thank you for showing how to make this.

[@leighcreates]

Glad you liked it! Thank you, cheers.

[@lisaminglet7229]

Great sturdy and no sew is always fun.😊

[@leighcreates]

Oh yes, certainly is the way to go. Thank you, cheers.

[@maryalexis7328]

Great idea. I can do this. Thanks. ❤

[@leighcreates]

Wonderful! Thank you, cheers.

[@ozsaur6655]

👍👍👍

[@leighcreates]

Thank you, cheers.

[@jackielubeck]

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.

[@leighcreates]

Thank you Jackie, cheers.

[@margaretschmidt7451]

My thoughts too. I was not much of a fan of the whole Effy theme. I hope it’s more generic this year.

[@teresacobb1760]

​@@margaretschmidt7451I figured out who Effy is finally, hoping he doesn't make an appearance either!

[@WWDesigns]

Not sure if I will be playing along this year….heading to Europe on 13 Dec 😊

[@leighcreates]

Hi Nikki, enjoy your European Vacation. Cheers

[@jemscreativespace]

Great upcycled journal! Yes I' will participating in Dephemerember (for the first time). Quick question - are you going to add more to your pages before the challenge or just as you go?

[@leighcreates]

Hi Jem, will most likely do them as I go, or maybe once the prompts come out. Cheers
