Positive Thoughts – Journaling with Chloé

Hello all, and happy new year!

Chloé here again today, sharing quite a personal page from my journal. I think several creative team members have created journal pages this month, and I’m not surprised; especially with the theming of December’s You Are Amazing kit! January has always felt like a clean slate to me, the perfect time to start a new journal and set fresh goals. I have a few goals for 2020, but this page is actually all about positive affirmations.

I wanted to start January with a list of five positive affirmations to read each morning. I don’t want to come across as “woe is me”, but I have lots of health issues and often it’s incredibly difficult to get going each morning and remain positive. The You Are Amazing kit was perfect for these pages, as the kit itself was filled with positive sentiments. I started by tearing some of the polka dot tissue paper from the kit, and arranged some on both pages. This not only adds texture, but also fills the space; I knew this page would only require a few sentences of writing!
I LOVED the You’re a Wonder Woman postcard, so I adhered it to the left-hand page without trimming it at all. It totally embodies the sentiment of this journaling spread.

I used various stickers from the kit to create embellishment clusters on the right-hand page, and the black tile alphas were perfect for the title. That’s pretty much it! I loved this kit, and the page came together really quickly.
I hope you enjoyed seeing this journal page,
