They're sized to be punched with a 2" square punch, or you can use the trim lines provided to do it all by hand.

My Favorite Things Journal

We all have favorites, but have we ever stopped to document them all in a journal? I thought that it  would be fun to have a journal dedicated to all my favorites.

A FEW OF MY FAVORITES, JOURNALED

Pastime

The ribbon, vellum paper and book page strip were all in my scraps bin - I’m not a hoarder if I actually use the scraps, right?

Reading will always be at the top of my list of all time favorite pastimes.

I popped my punched journal prompt on top of the paper cluster I made out of the ribbon and book page paper strip.

Journal Prompt

Era of Music
I didn’t even have to think twice! It never fails to bring a smile to my face and makes me reminisce of simpler days gone by. Aaaaah, big hair, guitar riffs and ballads. Does it get any better? Even the girls ask to listen to 80s on 8 on in the car. 

Printable Number Set  |  Makes Me Smile Word Strip  | Music Sheet Ephemera  |  Journal Prompt

To make my number 8 pop off the page, and I didn't want to get up off the couch and get my foam dots, I used repeating strips of cardstock strips glued together on the back side of my number.

TV Show
I couldn't list just one, and could have listed more, because how do you have just one favorite?

I used a gold accented die cut, pink glitter page flag and kraft paper sticker [all from the embellishment kit] and one of the printable journal prompts from the My Favorite Things set. I also crumpled a glassine bag and used it for more texture, placing it under my die cut.

Junk Journal January | Days 16 - 20

Participating in the Junk Journal January challenge over on Instagram has been a great project to begin my 2020 creative playtime with. I've tried to step outside of my normal clean-cut journaling style and ventured more into some modeling paste, gesso, adding true "junk" to my journals and being open to a more busy look to my pages. I've always adored adding layers and texture to my work, so that hasn't changed, but I've upped the layers quite a bit on some of these page spreads.

Mixed Paper Journals + Printable Tags are on sale for 20% off through Saturday here.

I love how this challenge prompts are bringing up stories I can tell. 

JUNK JOURNAL JANUARY

Day 16 | Life Lessons
I journaled around the punchesd border on my page and then embellished with some DIY book page washi tape I made a while back. Just stick your tape onto a book page and lift. Voila! 

Day 17 | Favorite Things
I’ve always been a fan of repurposing and upcycling and usually include one vintage book page and library check our card in each of the mini books I create. How about you, do you love the feel of vintage, yellowed book pages,too?

Day 18 | Feeling Good
I am so ready for spring!

Day 19 | Mixed Media
A little modeling paste, book page hexagon die cuts and a paper scrap for my journaling spot. I’m squeezing in some self care and me time today working in all my journals and doing some devotionals I’m behind on. Find a pack of pink shipping tags here. 

Day 20 | Self Care Everyday
I made a promise to myself when my first child was born that I would get up and get ready and not lounge all day in sweats - this was before leggings were even a thing - and I have pretty much kept they promise to myself. I feel more “me” when I feel good about myself and can face the world with a can-do attitude.

My Favorite Things | A Storytelling Journal

Have you ever taken the time to pull together a list of your favorite things? How about a journal? Oh, I've journaled and listed plenty of stories over the years, see all my lists here, but I'm always game for more stories to share. Whether you have or haven't, why not begin now and join me in February as I document a few of My Favorite Things.

WHAT I'LL BE USING 
★ This Journal
This mixed paper junk journal has a stunning array of heart patterns and beautiful shades of pink - one page even has glitter! It makes a perfect little journal for so many different things: art, dreams, goals, plans, trips, adventures...and lists, of course.

★ This Printable
You have your favorite _____________ {fill in the blank} and now you can use the new word strips to document your "right now" mindset associated with all of the favorites you currently hold close to your heart.

HOW TO USE THE PRINTABLE WORD STRIPS IN YOUR JOURNALS
★ Gather Your Embellishments
I'm using some of the elements from the embellishment kit that comes with your journal to decorate my page samples below.

★ Trim Your Word Strips
Here are just a few ideas...
you can take Easy Peasy Street by just trimming your word strips into rectangles, you can also round the edges, or use a label punch and even make page flags out of them. 

SHOW ME YOUR JOURNAL

If you decide to play along, either by choosing a journal and the labels or using just the labels in your own journal, tag me so I can come take a peek. I'm @iloveitallshop on Instagram and @ILoveItAll on Facebook. 

Currently - The January Edition

Taking a few moments a few times a month to document my "currently" status will be one of my 2020 creative projects for the year. I'm using my DIY ring journal which you can recreate yourself if you want to add another creative project to your lineup.

DIY RING JOURNAL TUTORIAL

1. Grab some paper scraps, I have a kit ready to use here
2. Download your "currently" card set 
3. Grab your favorite size ring here, you can find the black 1.25" ring I used here

Book Review Card

I printed out 4 or 5 sets of cards, trimmed them and embellished the bottom edge of each card with a line of skinny washi tape I picked up late last year. I'm also using my date stamp and "trying" to coordinate my ink with the color of washi tape I'm using. 

Read more blog posts showing how I'm using these CURRENTLY journal cards for more inspiration and tips.

Hopefully I can journal once a week and as 2020 closes, I’ll have a nice little recap of what I did and what I was thinking for the whole year. I'd love to see how you're using your journal cards!

A PEEK AT MY JOURNAL PAGES

Day 7
Save A Tag
My tag is from a sweater I bought last month and I tore off the price from the bottom and used the back side as a date holder on the left side of my page. 

I love how this month’s prompts are bringing up stories I can tell.

Day 8 
Vintage Vibes
I'm using this mixed paper journal and added the pink hang tag {from this set}, a mini white tag + a tree image from one of the printable ephemera set which I printed on vellum. 

Day 9
Happy Mail
Who knew that saving Christmas card envelopes would come in handy? 

Day 10
Nature Lover 
I love a new year and new projects! I printed this ephemera set onto vellum instead of card stock, added it to the left side of my journal spread and then documented a little story from city girl to country girl for me. 

Day 12
Sweet Treats
We lost count of how many rounds of homemade Banana Pudding Ice Cream we made last summer, we were hooked! So good, so easy and gone in a flash because it's that good.

Find collections of shipping tags in manila and fun colors here.

Day 13
You know I’m a huge fan of layers and texture, but did you know I also layer it up when I’m dressing? Oh yeah, cami, shirt, sweater and maybe even a scarf. 

I’m a cold natured person, usually, but this Menopause thing has me all about of wack. 

Day 14
Cozy Drink
Coffee is my fave, but I do love a hot peach green tea, too! 

You can find more paper doilies here and this is the journal I'm using. 

Day 15
A List
Today I used a tag, a teeny tiny scrap from a paper doily, several sticky notes and an ampersand stamp to mimic my patterned paper page.

You can find a similar watercolor style shipping tags here. And here's a set in blue.

MIXED PAPER JOURNALS 

Here are some fun journals that have 30 pages, making them perfect for any listing challenge:
