How I Add Journaling to My Project Life Pages (3 Simple Ways)
Sometimes journaling in Project Life isn’t about “finishing the page” - it’s just about adding enough context so the photos make sense later. In this video, I’m sharing three simple ways I add journaling to my Project Life pages, depending on the story and my energy that week: journaling typed directly onto a card half photo / half text cards and printed labels for handwriting when I want flexibility I’ll also show a quick Canva workflow I use to create simple journaling labels - nothing fancy, just practical and repeatable. This isn’t about rules or perfection. It’s about choosing the ‘right kind of journaling’ for the story you’re telling. If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to journal “the right way,” I hope this gives you permission to mix things up. 0:00 A quick look at the finished pages 0:24 How I decide what kind of journaling to use 1:06 Typed journaling: when I want it done fast 2:08 The hybrid card: Half photo, half text 2:55 Printed labels for flexible journaling 3:20 A simple Canva setup for journaling labels 5:55 How I mix these in the same spread 10:13 Adding context journaling to films, tv & books 11:44 There is no “right way” 14:30 One rule I don’t follow with journaling ✨ Support & Create With Me ➜ Join me on Patreon for exclusive content & behind-the-scenes creativity / creativekarmadesign ➜ Planner Pals Email List — freebies, updates & happy mail inspiration https://bit.ly/423FDWW ➜ Shop my Etsy store for printables & creative tools https://www.etsy.com/shop/CreativeKar... 🛒 Products & Supplies Used (Some of these links are affiliate links — thank you for supporting the channel!)
