Are you wondering what a commonplace book is or how to use one?
In this video, I’ll show you why I use commonplace books to collect quotes, proverbs, and maxims—and how this practice enhances my junk journaling and art journaling.
A commonplace book is more than just a journal; it’s a personal collection of wisdom, creativity, and inspiration.
Whether you love handwritten journals, vintage ephemera, aesthetic journaling, or creative writing, a commonplace book can help you organize ideas, track inspiration, and preserve meaningful words.
I’ll also share tips on:
✔️ What journal i use for a commonplace book
✔️ Ways to incorporate quotes into junk journals and art journals
✔️ Why maxims and proverbs make powerful journal entries
If you love journaling, scrapbooking, or DIY creative notebooks, this video is for you!
