Journaling Prompt for August

August is always a month of celebrations in our family. We celebrate two birthdays and an anniversary. This year we also celebrated good exam results with our daughter. What have you been celebrating this month? How do you celebrate with family and friends or quietly? We celebrated our wedding anniversary this year with friends at an outdoor concert in a stately home. Have you perhaps visited somewhere nice yourself this month why don’t you journal about a visit somewhere either in this month or in previous months. Try to record a little about the history of the place you visited.

For those that are art journaling looking at a blank page, even with paint or ink on can be daunting at first. How are you possibly going to fill up all of that space. Reduce your writing space by adding boarders to the page. Try cutting out from a book, magazine, music or patterned paper a wave or pennant shape. Colour it in line with the colour you have used on your page and stick it down one side of the page. Doodle a border on and round if you wish. You can also doodle the whole border on another 2 or 3 sides to balance the page. Don’t get too carried away though remember to leave some space in the middle to journal!
