Last week I took a class at Altenew Academy called Mission Inspiration with Nicole Watt. One of the ideas she had was to create a journal or notebook for sketches, color combinations, fashion and decorating trends, etc. that could be used for card making. She used a travel journal for her organizing of ideas. I had a planner I was no longer using and converted it into my notebook. Here are some of my sections that I've used.
My first section is a reminder page for challenges since most of the time I am too late in getting them done - let's see if this helps me get better.
This section is my idea/inspiration section. It will include sketches that I like, color combinations and also photos to help me with coloring flowers. Most of my photos came from some HGTV magazines someone had given me.
I had notes all around with how to make gift cards or gift bags/boxes etc. - now I'm gathering them in this section.
Now just to carry on with all this wonderful organization I've begun!!!
Thanks for taking the time to stop by today - love to read your comments.

Excellent work Betty. I have been making new boards on my Pinterest page
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Betty!
ReplyDeleteFantastic.
ReplyDeleteOh what a great idea! Your notebook looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to make use of the planner you weren't using! I started putting things like instructions together, but of course, I didn't keep it up--haha!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun, Betty! I started organizing years ago and hmmm would be nice to find that book - LOL! I especially like your idea of saving flower photos for color combos.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I should also have a reminder page for challenges...I'm getting worse at organizing my time, and I love the idea of having a few sketches on hand! Good for you for taking steps to tackle these things, Betty!
