Step-by-step
Step 1
Start by planning your page layout and sketch it out lightly in pencil first if you prefer. For a really beautiful effect, write out your resolutions using hand lettering. Next, take the fine-tipped edding 1800 precision fineliner and go over all your pencil strokes. You’ll find the edding 1800 is great for fine lettering or for reinforcing individual letters. Include dainty decorative touches or pictures to add interest to the page.
Step 2
You can use a specific colour for each separate area of your life in which you have resolved to do something. For instance, if your areas are fitness, friendships and health, you could use green for health and blue for fitness, and so on (the edding 1200 colour pens are ideal for this).
Step 3
Now continue with your next activity. Maybe it’s a city break that you fancy. Planning this sort of event at the start of the year means that, with a bit of luck, nothing can get in the way. The edding 1200 colour pens are perfect for both writing messages and for adding colourful touches such as stars, arrows or other symbols.
Step 4
Make sure you plan enough time for yourself, too – a wellness day once a month, for example, or simply being more conscious of enjoying everyday moments of happiness. Continue designing the pages in this way and you’ll end up with a fabulous creative record of your journal New Year’s resolutions. Now all you need to do is put them into practice!
