Print + Journal Challenge

Hi Friends! 

Katie here to inspire and challenge you to journal. If you’re a digital scrapper there are lots of journal template options in the store to help you get started. If you’re a paper crafter, the printable options keep expanding in the store!

For this project I started with one of the journals I have in the shop. It’s a hardcover journal with lightweight paper so I don’t recommend for mixed media but it’s perfect for this project!

I used a mix of printables along with my cricut machine to make sticker sheets that made these pages even easier!

First up was to add some type texture to my edges. I chose the Sunburst Paper Pack and printed reduced to fit on letter-sized paper and printed onto washi sticker paper. Simply tearing the edge creates nice visual interest and a great starting point for the journal spread.

There are so many sticker packs in the store that if you follow these simple instructions over on my YouTube, you can quickly and easily make sticker sheets that are ready to peel and stick onto your projects.

I used the Kaleidoscope Chipboard Words and the ARToptions Spice Print and Cut Pack to layer elements over the newsprint washi. I also added some leaves from the Vintage Orchard Chipboard Bits.

On the opposite side I followed the same formula and also added in some of the stickers from the Ancestry Portrait Bits too. I just love how simple it is to create these pages with stickers and then they are all ready for me to do a bit of personal journaling to document my days.
