Journal Your Thoughts Challenge

Katie here for this month’s Journal Challenge!

Jour•nal /ˈjərn(ə)l/ a daily record of news and events of a personal nature; a diary.

Scrap•book /ˈskrapˌbo͝ok/ a book of blank pages for sticking clippings, drawings, or pictures in

When I look at these two definitions I think that scrapbookers in my world definitely include more journaling and journalers include elements of scrapbooking so these two worlds are really one as they overlap on so many levels.

Personally I have found myself bouncing between journals and scrapbooks over the past few years. Largely because my days aren’t filled with running kids around anymore and I have more calm days than busy days so I am feeling more suited towards journaling. But by at least journaling, I am keeping with scrapbooking, a hobby that’s important to me on so many levels.

I’ve created a wide range of journal templates in the SHOP to suit a variety of styles and of course there is always the option of journaling with paper too which you know I am a huge fan of too!

Here are just a few series to get you started: [top left to right] Krafty Journal Templates, Documenting Life Double Wide Weekly, Documenting Life Notebook Art Journal, Stories of Our Life, Documenting Life Notebook Daily Stories, My Travel Journal Layered Templates, Documenting Life Notebook Weekly, Journal Keepers Layered Templates
