New journal for Swap-bot

 

Here’s a few pages out of my journal. Just remember I am not a artist but still like to add fun pages to my journal.

This journal will have a few entries about my love for books. I am avid book reader.  Don’t know why I haven’t incorporated more pages about books in my past journals. 

Am a big animal print person.  I am trying to branch out my likes but at the end of the day I go back to my favorites.  I should have ordered more of these cute stickers for my collection.  While I am working on this journal, I also am working on my personal journal. Some pages will be similar in both journals.

I also like to use pictures showcasing my daily life.

I can’t be the only one who has random stickers laying around unused. I have so many stickers. There is a back story on why I love stickers and have so many of them.  Maybe one day I will write about that in my blog. I do know I got my love of stickers from my Grandma Pearl. 

 

This is a favorite spread for my journals. Rainbow have always been another favorite of mine. I know these days it represents something other than what I was taught. But we can all share our love of rainbows.

I’m currently working on a composition notebook journal for a trade over at Swap-Bot.  It’s a two month project.  I’m really excited about trying new to me ideals. Have watched quite a bit of YouTube videos on techniques and can’t wait to try them out in this new journal.  I really want to decorate the cover really nice with fabric or colored duct tape.  

Unfortunately I can’t draw to save my life, but I will use a million stickers and miles of washi tape.  The pages must be decorated with something.  Lately I have been using packaging from items I have bought.  That definitely adds a layer to my pages.  I also ordered some junk journal supplies off Etsy. Ordered a pink bundle and a yellow bundle. That I’ll help make my pages pop. I know I plan on ordering a green bundle and a purple bundle as well.  

This journal will include pictures, art journaling (simple as I lack drawing skills), list of all kinds, quotes and so much more.  I do write quite a bit. I enjoy the random junk journal swaps as you never know what you will receive from your partner. I have received some over the top where they spent a lot of time on it. Then others was rushed and not great. It’s definitely a gamble on what you will receive. That’s part of the fun as well.
