How To Start A Journal - Part 2

 Hello, Lisa here with more journal chat.

Did you see my post earlier this week where we transformed an unwanted cookbook into a journal?

It went from this.

to this

I have the full process video here if you missed it.

Today we are moving on to the next step.

Starting inside the journal.

It's a question I get asked about a lot.

How to start a journal?

So it's something I talk about in this new video here.

I talk about different ways to start a new journal and show lots of examples.

I then also start working on this new one.

I'm using this lovely collection once again from Cocoa Vanilla Studio - Storyteller.

The reason I called this journal my Storyteller journal : )

I wanted to give this journal an introduction so carried on with the Storyteller collection inside using the papers, die cuts and stickers.

The dark background went so well. I added some gesso and some stencilling too.

And then used a white gel pen to tell my first story. 

The story behind the journal and my intentions for it.

I thought this would be a good start.

I'm so excited to get creating in this new Storyteller journal.

If you love telling stories too, I really encourage you to create one too.

I hope this inspires  you today.

Have fun

Lisa x
