This is to help any of the ladies looking for Jaron Winder's Inspirational Journal idea. I have wanted to make one of these ever since I saw his, but just haven't gotten around to it. Unfortunately I didn't open it to take pictures of the inside, but hopefully you can get some inspiration from these pics.
Titles read: Color, Layouts, Artwork, Titles and I don't remember the last one that the twill is covering (insert sad eyes). In the color section he would pull picks from Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, clothing ads, etc. He would paste them into his journal and then collect and paste 3-4 punched out circles of color that would coordinate with the ads for color inspiration. It was quick and easy with no mess.
Jaron pulls all kinds of things from Magazines, every type of magazine. The Jen/Ben portion of his presentation had us ROTFLOBO! But look what he did with that idea! Then the colorblocking! He really was inspiring!!
So in a nutshell look at everything around you for inspiration! I hope you all find this little entry inspirational Ü
I just started a color journal a few weeks ago and I LOVE IT! I take it with me everywhere and it really has become a wonderful source of inspiration and ideas. :D Thanks for sharing!

Great reminder Ellen! I have read this several times and just don't do it. Tomorrow my friend is coming to stamp, I will have to take the time to make myself a journal. I did make her one earlier this year though;) I love what he did with the flipping of the colors on the top right color blocked image. TFS
