Above is a journal I have had for a few years. I love that the pages inside are blank and it’s broken up into sections. Until recently, I had not decided what I was going to do with this journal. I loved it (which is why I bought it), but didn’t have the perfect use for it… then I found the world of artistic journaling. She (my journal) was the perfect canvas for my new endeavor!
For anything creative I do, I always start with a vision board. With my journals, I prefer to keep visuals within the pages. The first thing I needed to do with my “journal that came back to life,” was create storage within the pages to keep little cut-outs, quotes and other visuals that were inspirational. I wanted it to be pretty, practical and needed to make sure it wasn’t going anywhere.
Since I didn’t have too many envelopes at home, I decided to use 2 that I did have lying around.
Let me know what you think and how you store bits and pieces for your journals.
