A New Journal inspired by Quotes at PoP!


A
s we meander a Path of Positivity, we are challenging you to create something inspired by Quotes about New Beginnings!  Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

I have chosen to make a new journal for some of my favorite quotes.  I can write in this  book or paste in pictures/clippings, etc.  I might choose to do some art journaling in here...the possibilities are endless.  This is a simple journal and I can use the pages as the year goes on as "jumping off" pages to project ideas.  

I chose this quote from the PoP list of January Quotes:  “Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.”
— Brad Paisley

Now I doubt there will be even close to 300 pages...I'll be happy with 24!  

  Check out the video below to see how I quickly put this together using a journal/book from stash!



Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive!  The theme is always optional.
