Creative journaling 2024 (Jan - April)

-

 السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

It's Khadijah here!

I started journaling three years ago and since then I've realized that it's my second favorite hobby after gardening, Alhammdulilah. My previous journals didn't involve artwork or any creativity - I simply only wrote. But as my passion for journaling progressed, it became impossible to not combine my love for art with journaling. So I started to develop my own style of journalling which meant that I do artwork in between my daily records of my life, plans and realizations. That worked and works with me ideally, Alhammdulilah. I write daily like before, however - draw whenever I'm free and liven my journal with colour and artwork. This has made my journals even more special to me as I have a connection with my artwork and doodles.

Today, I'm elated to share with you the creative work on my latest journal, my journal of 2024, Jan - April. 

Since I'm a dedicated and enthusiastic writer, who never summarizes but writes everything in full detail, I cannot have one book for one year, I need way more books to journal in an year! So I've spit the months equally, I'll journal for four months per book; I'll have three journals for an year and I can write generously - not fearing I wont have a page for tomorrow! InshaAllah.


Here's my customized journal cover (Jan - April).




January spreads:





February spreads :




March spreads :





April spreads :




And that's it for today, InshaAllah.

I hope to share with you in the future my artwork in my following journals which will include my creative work done in May - Aug and Sep - Dec. 

InshaAllah I hope you will get some inspiration to start journaling yourself.
Until next time - stay creative and get inspired!

Eid gifts (1)

                                               Assalamualykum everyone! It's Hanah here! I'm excited to share with you the gifts I received from my sister on Eid, they were all handmade with love and we thoroughly enjoyed making them for each other!    This gesture was inspired due to  Crafty Muslimahs , we really admire how they make handmade gifts for each other for Eid.   Making these crafts took a month or so - we didn't expect to make so much for each other, however we found it pretty addictive to make the gifts, and the best part was we did not show each other our gifts, it was definitely hard to keep it secretive until Eid, but we did it! One gift a day, made with the labour of love added to 13 in all! As the saying goes : " A little progress everyday adds up to BIG RESULTS! " Today is part 1 and I'll be sharing you the gifts I received from my sister! So here's an overlook at all the gifts my sister gave me on Eid!      ( I can't believe the am

                                               Assalamualykum everyone!                              We have an obsession for jars, we think they look so adorable. Every time we find a jar we recycle them into something cute.  Today we thought to show you 5 different ways to decorate jars!  Probably we might have shown some of these in some of our past posts, however we thought it would be nice idea to include all the jars in this specific post. And now, let's begin! This  jar is one of our best, it's a nebula jar and we really love the pastel colours in it! We reused this jar and we really like the gold lid! Next, we have this bottle with a heart on it's lid, we think it looks so cool!   we used this jar, We then added some shredded paper inside the jar, Using glue, we sprinkled glitter on the middle of the jar's lid, we made sure to leave the gold border around the lid. we used air dry clay to shape a heart,once it was dry we painted over it, and then we sprinkled  a
