Inspiration Journal--COMFORT FOODS!!

The other night when I couldn't sleep I got out of bed and worked on finishing the next page in my Inspiration Journal. I got this idea from another blog, and I really enjoy making these pages.

Hope you have fun looking at my creation!

Here are some closer views

Working on these pages is relaxing and kind of mindless. I simply cut images and phrases from magazines that "speak" to me, decide on a theme for a page, and get started. It's like creating your own puzzle and working the pieces together as it pleases you.

The pages may stay in my journal or I might put them in frames for a grouping on the wall. The one I saw online had all kinds of odds and ends glued onto the pages. Anything works because it's all about what YOU like!!

If you would like to create a journal like this, all you really need is a journal ( I bought a hard cover one at Michael's with a 40% off coupon YAY! Love that!), a glue stick, a little coupon cutter to make the cutting go quickly, and of course, some magazines!! The cutter pictured here is from Pampered Chef, but you can get them almost anywhere. I think I need to embellish the cover of this journal!!

As I flip through the magazines I cut anything that strikes my fancy, and keep the clippings in a folder until I have enough to make a themed page.

I hope some of you will give this a go. It a creative medium that gives me great pleasure, and there are no rules!!

Be a Blessing!!
