Journaling Cards

When I saw journaling cards, I thought, "now what?!" It seemed like a scrapbooker's project, and I am not very good at scrapbooking, seeing as how you have to be a rather organized, follow-through type of person to conquer scrapbooking. This I am not.

But I have been trying to journal more, and sometimes sitting down to a blank page seems like such a daunting task. I don't have the energy to pour my heart out, go back over emotionally difficult situations, or even punctuate.

So I became more and more curious about the journaling cards. I kept finding them on blogs and Pinterest. Finally, when I came up with the idea for a 2012 Box (which is coming up on DIY Wednesday!), I thought I could maybe jot a few sentences down about an event or special day on a journaling card, and put it in the box.

It's really quite a nice way for me to keep up with my journaling when I'm not in the mood or don't have time to completely devote to "the book." Plus, it helps me keep on top of my 2012 Box, which I was afraid I would abandon.

Here are the links for the two journaling cards I've featured here:
