Journaling is an important part of saving our memories and it is one of the thing I often don't do. Let's challenge ourselves to add those details we will want to recall as journaling on our projects.
As always, this challenge may be combined with other challenges and more than one category can be combined on a single layout. Post as many layouts as you like each month.
Please be aware, no matter what category you choose, there is a 10 word minimum when entering this challenge.
Category 1: List (List form, Bulleted, numbered, 5Ws + H (Who, What, When, Where, Why and How), whatever a list means to you). Just like making a weekly grocery list but way more fun!
Category 2: 50+ words. It's really not that hard once you start writing it down. Yes, seriously.
Category 3: Use a journaling card (like Project Life). C'mon, I know you have one or two sitting in your stash! Many of them even have journaling prompts. However, please be aware that the prompts or any other words on the journaling card do not count as journaling - only what you personally write.
Category 4: Journaling strips. This type of journaling adds details as well as an artsy feature! Add a whole story or just 3-4 short lines that contain the date, people, a short description of the event, and/or the location of the event (this is the perfect option for someone trying to get into the habit of journaling).
Category 5: Hidden journaling. Some people aren't comfortable with people seeing/reading their personal thoughts or people run out of room on a lo and include the journaling either on the back or under an element already on the layout. When posting your layout, if you don't mind sharing the journaling, please post a pic with the journaling showing. This may give others ideas on where they can include journaling. If you don't want to share, that's ok too! Just tell us where it is.
Category 6: Handwritten journaling. Cursive or print, just do it!
Category 7: Write a letter to someone. It can be to yourself, someone you've never met, someone that has passed, someone you talk to every day, etc.
Category 8: Journal from another persons point of view. Interview a child, ask your spouse/partner what they thought of a vacation, include old letters, use posts from other peoples Facebook pages, etc.
Category 9: Journaling around the border of the layout or around a picture.
Category 10: Journal in a different color other than black.
Category 11: Use digital journaling. Type your journaling and print it directly on the background or print it on something that is going to be adhered to a layout.
