I think one of the best parts about creating your own journals is how you can evolve with your style, try new things, and are really flexible. I love that you're trying out something new, so interesting to see what you're going to do with it

Absolutely!! When i first started making journals, plain tea dyed papers were my thing, so this takes me back! My journaling style has evolved a lot since then though so it’ll be fun to tackle! ♥️

It is too hard for me to choose which type I like better. I like the different type of pockets and hidden areas and I also like to draw and paint. Honestly all your journals are beautiful so I’d be happy either way.

Me too! I guess this way I can always add in more pockets and hidden areas as I go anyways! I’ll have a journal with me soon, I’m excited to share what I did on the first few pages!

Lovely journals. Leaving pages plain gives the recipient more space to do their own journaling. I can’t wait to see more of your art. The strawberries you painted are very sweet. TYFS from Michigan in the USA! 🇺🇸

Thank you! 🥰 🍓

These are really beautiful 🥰 and I love the painted aspect of it!

I really love this style! I love how you add pattern paper to tea dye paper to extend the length

You're new journal is very pretty! You did a good job on the painting. I'm looking forward to see the art and paintings in this one ❤

Wonderful journals! Great cover paintings and I love the plain tea-dyed pages - really inviting.

I LOVE the paper in these!! More room for photos and ephemera, or whatever we want 🥰❤️❤️

Gorgeous journals. Love the dangle with all the special charms on it. You did a fabulous job painting on the cover. TFS! ❤

Your journals are all so beautiful. I love the look of this collection.

I LOVE your hand painted cover. It makes the journal so beautiful and so special. I really love how you added patterned paper to the tea dyed paper. I think it is a beautiful balance. As always you do such beautiful work.

I was finding that often I didn’t want to cover up my favourite papers so this might work better for me! Still includes them but I don’t necessarily have to glue or cover over them 🤞🏼

I think the beauty in something handmade are the perfectly imperfect imperfections. 😊. This is a gorgeous journal!

Another beauty, Johanna. The hand painting makes them even more special.

Looking forward to seeing how you fill this beautiful journal up❤

So very pretty Johnna. I'm fine with plain journals. Whatever you do is fine with me. Would love one of your journals, but don't think I'm fast enough to get one. Scented shelving paper, what an amazing concept, not to mention smelling so very goo!

I am so pleased you are going to be incorporating more drawing and art, and will be so excited to watch how this transpires. I think it will encourage lots of people to be more creative and maybe step outside their comfort zone in this way. Beautiful covers btw, great hand painting 👍🏻

Thank you for the encouragement lovely! I think it will be a fun change. I just started on the first few pages yesterday and had a blast with it! I’ll share a journal with me soon to show my process 🥰

I absolutely love your new journal. I love that you have started adding your art and hand paintings to your journal too 💕

These are so pretty. I’m not fond of the ledger paper but the other pages are sweet.

beautiful new journal! I am also being inspired by more blank pages in my personal journal compared to patterned papers, so I cannot wait to see how you use it! thank you for sharing! 💛

Beautiful, I like that the pages are left available for the owner to personalize.🌸

Lovely covers! So one of a kind and definitely a gem to own one of these. I like the pattern papers and the old fairytale pages. Shows how you choose, put together styles and themes together.

It’s beautiful but I do love your usual journal with more patterned papers.

I love the plain papers and just small amount of scrapbooking paper makes it stand out! I loved everything and the cover outstanding 💖🦋

Nothing armature in your workmanship. Such attention to the detail and thinking outside the box. Beautiful!!!! You are an amazing artist. Thank you so much for sharing.

Simply stunning! Reminds me of your earliest journals! 🩷 I'd love to see journals that are a combination of pages only made up of your artwork (printed, maybe double sided) and plain papers. These covers are so beautiful!

Yes! Back to basics! Reminds me of my earlier journals too ♥️

The hand painted florals on the covers are beautiful, makes them more special. I personally like a few patterned papers in my own journal, but it depends what youre using it for, as you say. I love tea dyed papers. I do a mix of plain and patterned. Alot of people make art journals and include thicker mixed media paper, for painting, etc.

The plain papers I used and dyed in these is drawing paper and is a lovely weight and quality! I’m thinking i’ll make the others similar but incorporate just a touch more patterns 🥰

Aww, if I was so blessed to be able to buy one of these, I would love the same types of papers- with all the tea dyed goodness! 💕

These are beautiful! I think the most special thing about them is the hand painting on the covers. I love that you will be doing more art with your journaling. Can't wait to see what you do. I love both of your styles but I have to confess that covering up some of the gorgeous images is really hard for me. I don't feel so torn when working on a plain page. My very favorite thing about your style is that you are memory keeping as well as creating something artful.

Thank you! Yes! I was finding that too often I was feeling a little crippled by covering up my most favourite patterns whenever i came to them, so hopefully this works better for me right now! I can still include those beautiful patterns in other ways in my journal as I go 🥰

The hand painted details are beautiful - love the folksy feel the symmetrical design gives. 😍

Hi Johanna. I love the plain tea-dyed pages in your new journals. I just made a journal for myself with plain coffee-dyed pages. I was thinking it would give the user more flexibility. The hand-painted covers are gorgeous.

Hi sweetheart! You had me at strawberries 😂. Your hand painting is amazing 🤩 I absolutely love your journal! ❤ I love tea dyed paper but I also love your mix of papers. Your journals are always gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the journal with me videos. Hope you are doing well ! Hugs 🤗

I like these exactly as you’ve made them!😁👍🏻

Gorgeous journals Johanna. Your hand painting looks great can’t wait to see the others

They are absolutely lovely,Johanna!❤ I’m making something similar.😊 I think they look more interesting with coffee diy: more space for journaling, for drawing and of course cheaper ☺️! Love,Andrea!

I love plain pages because I love to write. I don't do art in my journals.

Oooh these are so beautiful. I think they are in my top 5 favourites of all you ever shared and make me all impatient for Spring and Summer to come to northern Europe 🍓🍓🍓 I really hope I will be in time for the others for once as well:) Do you think you can you give us an embossing tutorial at some point? I've never tried it because it looks a bit difficult and I wouldn't know how to seal it all and not make a big glittery mess 🙈 I just don't craft much.. Oh, an the illustration of the pink one, do you remember which book it came from? It reminds me so much of me and my best friend when we were little. 🥰

Beautiful and creative..love your handpainted touch❤

you make such pretty journals and covers :) I also decided to challenge myself with my journaling this year, however it is to be more creative with ephemera and pockets and such, so i have a smaller size than last journal and I'm limited to using 1 journal and 8 pages per month and no matter if i fill them up i will jump forward to the next section when a new month starts. Will be interesting to see at the end of the year (there are extra pages at the end if i need them).
