Corrie's Craft of the Month: Custom List Journals
Journaling is NOT my thing, but I love making lists! I make my own “list journal” over and over again. So, I thought I'd show you how I do it. 
 
What you'll need:
Blank notebook (I use a graph composition book)
Washi tape
Favorite pen (I use the Paper Mate Flaire Medium black pen)
Favorite markers (I choose 5-6 colors per journal) 
Stickers
Pretty paper
Collage trimmings etc.
Glue
Packaging tape
 
1. I like to pick a theme: A favorite picture (off Pinterest) or some pretty paper or I've even picked a style of art I like (art nouveau). I choose 5-6 colors of markers to go with it. Be inspired and cover that journal front and back.
 
2. I don't like my markers to bleed through the pages so I washi tape two sheets of paper together. This is time consuming but very satisfying.  
 
3. I start making lists. There are some lists that end up in EVERY journal and others that just come up as needed. For example...each person in my family gets a page. I have an outside to do list, an inside to do list, a habit tracker list, a list of people I want to take out to coffee. There are endless examples...just Google it.
 
4. Every couple months I make a new one...transferring anything that isn't done into the new journal. I rip out the used pages of each journal and save the cover. I don't care about reading what I've crossed of my list but the covers represent time passing...and things getting done!
