My friend CAL and I were talking the other day about wanting to start art journaling again. We decided that we were going to journal a page a day in the month of November. I thought it would be fun to share the list that I came up with here on the blog in case you wanted to join in.
Here is a list of prompts for one month of art journaling. You can go off this list or do your own thing.
- Fresh start- It is a new month and you get a fresh start to something new
- Love is in the air- you could be in love or falling in love or even just loving something at the moment.
- Music to my ears- What is on your record player right now? Make a playlist for this month.
- Hiding place- Sometimes we just need to get away. Where is your hiding place?
- One day- One day I will....
- This time last year- What were you doing last year on this day?
- One photo one word- Find a photo or take a photo and write one word.
- If only I could- If you could do anything in the world right now, what would it be?
- Color- What color or colors are you loving right now?
- Map- Use a map on your page
- Letter to self- Write a letter to yourself. It could be your younger self or your older self
- Plant yourself- This world is moving so fast everyday. Plant yourself. Make a list of things that keep you grounded
- Currently- What is currently going on in your life right now.
- Breathe- This goes a long with day 12- breathe in all the love and breathe out all the hate. Just remember to breathe
- Tonight- What are you doing tonight?
- Phone call- What was your last phone? Who did you talk to? what was something about the phone call that you want to remember?
- Explore- Explore something new. Explore something old and then write about it.
- At the movies- What is your fav movie? Make this page movie themed
- Getting Lost- Going wonder and get lost and write your thoughts down. Get lost with someone.
- Neon Summer- If feels like summer is never ending. Write about the things you loved most about this Neon Summer.
- My City- Write about your city or a city that you love. Title the page "love letter to my city"
- Day Dreaming- It's always nice to day dream. What have you been day dreaming about?
- Freestyle- do your own prompt today. Freestyle!!

- Quote- Find a quote you love and journal about it.
- Something to remember- did something happen this month that you want to remember? Journal about it.
- This feeling- Sometime we get these feelings good or bad. What are you feeling today?
- Twirling- Do a little twirl and make a pretty page about anything
- Something New- is there something new in your life that you are loving right now.
