Flip-through pages from September

My journal lives in my planner and I've been matching the pages with however I've decorated the weekly spread. It's a nice visual passage of time when I'm flipping through later.

Chaos is a good word for it πŸ€“ intentional chaos?

Your pages are a feast for the eyes. I love the busyness, the color, the mix of print and visuals. Great job. The words you used "visual passage" is absolutely correct. Who needs social media and when you could look back on pages like this every day. Love it!

I love the way you journal! This reminds me of Dilly's Summer Camp Diary, an old book I used to ADORE reading and she had a similar layout to yours! This is so fun.

I love how filled your journal is! Mine tends to be blank lately because I overthink on what to do write.

Sometimes I just put pen to paper and see what falls out πŸ˜‚

Oh I just love these pages, OP ❀️ May I ask what type of camera/printer you use for getting your photos into your journal? That’s something I’m curious to explore.

Thank you for sharing!!! I’m brand new to journaling and this makes me realize I don’t have to be so precious ! Loved glimpsing into your life (and I a voyeur???🀣🀣🀣πŸ’ͺ🏽). No but seriously though. Thanks
It’s super inspiring and such a good way to look back a year from now to see how you were prob stressing and by next year you will be like -that was small potatoes.

Bahaha I also love being a lil creep and zooming in on non blurry posts πŸ˜‚ my memory isn't the best so I actually do flip through them every few years and it's a really nice stroll down memmory lane! At the end of the year I've started printing monthly highlights and putting them in for added scrapbooking impact before it goes on the shelf!

Man, I need to figure out how to be creative like this. I'm sadly not very artistic or creative. It feels like one of those things you either are or aren't, not a learned skill, more like a talent or trait.

u/katfrau 11h ago

Creativity comes in many forms! Can't hurt to try πŸ™‚

I hear this and I end up like that episode of The Simpsons where Homer is trying to put together a grill. "Why doesn't mine look like that!?"

What notebook is this?

u/katfrau 10h ago

It's actually a planner by Faded Chronicle - these are just the blank pages in the back
