Want to learn how I journal and what supplies I use? Below are links to a couple of the best instructional videos for starting out, as well as my favorite supplies.

Black book cloth: https://amzn.to/3W1G3vQ 

Book board: https://amzn.to/4ciVDJp

*Note: If using this book board, I highly recommend spraying both sides with a clear acrylic spray before applying any glue to keep the boards from warping when the water-based glue is applied.

1/4" satin ribbon for bookmarks: https://amzn.to/4bmd2iZ

Art glitter glue with precision tip: https://amzn.to/4bo24cH

*Note: It's not glittery. It dries clear, so I don't know why they call it glitter glue. I just love the precision applicator for gluing on small pieces. You can use this glue or just get some small bottles with precision applicators and use the bookbinding glue.

*Tip: Scrapbook paper typically comes in 2 different weights - either paper weight or card stock. The descriptions online aren't always the best at telling you which type you're going to get. Use a lighter weight paper in the 20 - 24 lb range for all of your journal pages. Use the card stock weight (typically 64-80 lb) for the end pages that you glue on the inner book cover to hide the bookcloth edges.
