What are your favorite journaling techniques? Are you a full page decorator or do you prefer more space for writing your thoughts? There are many journaling techniques, styles and subjects and sometimes it takes a few tries before finding the ones we enjoy the best. I prefer a variety of styles. Often my choice is simply determined by the amount of time I have.
Other than my art journal which I have shared before, the following are the day-to-day techniques I use when my time is limited. I need to also say that I do not pressure myself to journal every day.
It is nice to have a place to keep quotes and Bible verses, though this one is a page in my day-to-day journal I am thinking of using a separate journal dedicated to embellishing quotes.
Rubber stamping is another method to add a focal point to the page. This is my “what if” page. I wanted to see how a stamp pattern within a stamped frame looks. I have not decided how I will use this page. I might use the framed area for quotes or for gratitude entries
This is my basic journal page however, I do not usually write this much. I wrote this at the start of my vacation and had a lot of thoughts going on in my head. Also, it was the same day the washi tapes arrived and I couldn’t wait to use them. I leave a lot of space for writing. And, I decorate the pages ahead of time before writing because I enjoy opening the journal to an already colorful page.
I hope this gives you a few ideas to apply to your journal pages and card making too. Drop a comment and let me know how it goes for you.
