The idea behind a jump start journal is to give you color and design as a basis to jump start your art. A blank white space can sometimes be intimidating. This is the perfect size to slip into my purse and have available to sketch, doodle, capture a moment, jot down some thoughts - all on top of an interesting design filled with color. By changing colors, using only part of the stencil, and by varying the direction of the stencil, each page is unique yet there is a familiar design throughout the journal.
