KIT Journal Take 2 with 4 Spring Papers!

As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are talking about numbers this year! Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

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.  

This month we are inspired by the number 4 with an optional theme of Use 4 or more Spring papers!  Be sure to visit Path of Positivity for a description of this!  

I wanted to make a 5x7 inch KIT (Keep it Together) art journal again, but this time I've made some changes besides the size.  Obviously, I've blinged it out this time and I'm including a free pattern over at Cricut Design Space!  Info in the video below.

Check out the video below for more information.

Oh, and about the Spring papers...they are inside the book!

  5. Hello, Katrina!! You've always got terrific ideas for notebooks and journals, especially those like this one that you're able to store tools for writing, drawing, etc.!! Recycling and using old stuff from your stash are win-wins, too! Your paper choices are cheerful and I'm sure will be inspiring for your creative thoughts. Thanks for sharing at PRS during April! -- DT member Becca S

  6. That's such a very idea to have a pocket on your journal for supplies. My daughter loves to journal after reading her Bible, so she'd love this. Blessings!
