Today we get grungy…. Once a month for my Sunday inspiration videos.. I want to share simple techniques to get a grungy, aged look for any project. “The Grunge Factor”!

This was a simple journal page with a yummy outcome and one of the easiest ways to get texture. I also did some creative stenciling with a subtle grungy look, and just love it.

I also use some of my favorite collage packs that will be on sale this week.

Creating is always a journey, there’s not a right or wrong way… Similar to life, we figure it out as we go. So I hope you’ll enjoy the process of this journey and always know that you are loved!
