Brimming with colour, art and excellent ideas. This book will appeal to creative kids everywhere, and might even encourage the less daring to have a go. I loved the doodle like pictures, full of fun and inspiration. The whacky ideas were certainly innovative, and would definitely appeal to older children too. To be honest they appealed to me as an adult and I really want to have a go at creative journaling from this angle. Most of all it made me smile. The format and structure of the book was excellent too and the balance of words and pictures was perfect. I will definitely be buying a copy for my artistic child. Loved it ! Thank you |

I love journalling, but don't do it way as often as I want to. That also means that I look for interesting things, to keep my spark going. This book certainly is something that made me want to get my journal and get writing, drawing and well ... journalling again, in any form. It's illustrations and designs add to the feel of it being the perfect book on journalling. |

This is such an exciting inspirational way for children to approach art journalling and journal keeping. I loved some of the ideas and will try to incorporate some of them into my scrapbooking this year. It encourages you to experiment with colour, shape and design in capturing some new projects. I would love to own a hard copy of this book and will look out for it. |

I am now a full-time Bullet Journal-er, so when I saw this I wanted it. I'm always looking for cheats, tips, and tricks to make my journal look great, and this book it full of them! The layout of has a journal feel to it, making it even more enjoyable to read. This book has “60 interactive writing prompts and art how-tos help you to expand your imagination and stimulate your creativity.” I got this from NetGalley and would love to have a physical copy! Therefore, if you are new or long time journal-er this is a wonderful book for teens or adults! -NetGalley Review- |

What a fantastic resource for lovers of journalling and all things creative. I reviewed this on behalf of the publisher in return for an independent honest review. I was so pleased to review it. The layout is fantastic and activities are easy to follow and it has such a lovely vibe to it that it gets the creative juices flowing straight away. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants something that is more unique and interesting to the norm. Cannot wait to play!! |
