I love printables and I love art journaling, so it’s only natural for me to share my super simple process of using printables within my art journaling practice.
I hope this will serve as an introduction to how printables can be so useful for all kinds of paper crafting and creative fun. I will definitely be sharing more in the future, but for now… art journaling with printables…
Over the years, I have shared so many printables on this blog. I wanted to go back to the foundation and share the basics to answer the question, what are printables? I hope that this will help those who are beginners and just getting into printing from home.
We will talk about what are printables, why you might use them and how to use them. I also share a whole bunch of places to find free and paid for printables, for a variety of uses. You can also check out all my blog lists to see the printables I share on a regular basis!
Print your own free printable pink coffee planner page and DIY your own spread for the week with a pink coffee theme.
Today I wanted to share my plan with me notebook with you and how I create a weekly spread using free printables.

When planning gets too complicated, then it’s not really serving the purpose anymore.
I’m someone who falls in the middle of being super practical and minimal in my planner versus full-blown creative layouts and loads of decoration. I want planning to be functional of course, it has to work for me. However, I still want it to be cute and pretty to look at as well.
So the happy medium is to use printables or prepared decoration that is easy to add into my planning routine.
