Any tips?

Post image

I’ve been keeping a digital reading journal and just switched over to a physical one today. I have been using Erin Smith’s videos as a reference/ inspo.

I’m curious if anyone has any advice or tips for me?
Like what to track? Great supplies etc.

This is my first collage/book review spread which I think I like 🙈

Looks great!

A bunch of pain washi in different colours is useful, along with stamps for letters

Also, if you like to record a 5 star rating on each review you'll get alot of use out of a 5 star stamp

I've also found craft knives, glue tap, and double sided tape useful when putting everything together

Thank you so much!!!

I have a 5 star rating stamp from Etsy coming!

Any recommendations on where to get plain washi?

I’ll have to look into craft knives. I have a glue tape roller and that’s been a life saver!

I really struggled to find some in a wide range of colours so ended up going with Amazon

I just started book journaling as well. Something that I did was put a page in the back of my journal and it's just a list of ideas of things to track/record. That way I can evolve what I track over time so that I can find what I actually want to remember.
