Welcome to another issue of the Journal Pad. Today I decided to do something a little different. Instead of giving you something as inspiration for the content of your journaling, I thought I'd provide inspiration for the layout of your journaling. I find inspiration for layouts all over the web, quite often just by chance. On this particular occasion, I was looking for a font and came across this Typography Inspiration. I loved the angles and thought it would make a perfect sketch for a scrapbook page.It inspired my design of this layout about a recent trip to our local park and zoo.For this layout, I used the gorgeous collab Vintage Carnival and the Vintage Carnival Add-On by Sahlin Studio and Jenn Barrette. The font is CK Becky.I hope you enjoy this week's inspiration. If you do a layout, please leave a comment so I can leave you some love.Tiki … [Read more...]

Do you use a Graphic Tablet?
Today's tips and tricks is a little different from our normal! I got the idea to highlight some great things about tablets! I have had my Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet for about 2 years now, and I don't know if I could live without it! I vividly remember hating it at first though! I mainly use my tablet as a mouse, and at first I just could NOT get the hang of it. But with a little bit of practice and perseverence I have grown to LOVE it! First off, a little overview on what you can use a tablet for from the Bamboo Fun website:A tablet enables the use of multi-touch technology along with the comfort and precision of a pen. With multi-touch, you use simple hand gestures and finger taps to move around your desktop, scroll through documents, navigate the web, zoom in and out of photos, and rotate images. And because the active area is larger than traditional mobile devices and laptop … [Read more...]

Journal Pad: Accept and Change
I'm not sure about you but I spend a lot of time dwelling on things I cannot change. For example, I beat myself up about choices I made many years ago that are irreversible. I know I need to stop this self deprecating behavior in order to find inner peace. I'm getting better, but I still have a long way to go. Today's inspiration is this quote I found at Deviant Art. It is so true.I used this quote as inspiration for this layout that I recently completed. For me, this layout is about having the strength to undergo jaw surgery to hopefully alleviate many health related problems I'm having right now.Credits: Tic Toc Collab by Valorie Wibbens and Pink Reptile Designs, and Frogger Template Collab by Amy Martin and Sara GleasonI hope you find this quote inspirational in your scrapping and your life. Have a great Monday everyone!Tiki … [Read more...]
