Hi there! Today’s post is about another journaling challenge that I joined last January called Dare To Dream by Abbey SyandKailaofRainbowholic, 2 lovely ladies that inspired me to start my own journal journey.

Here are the list of prompts for the challenge :

“The aim for this one is to prepare one’s mental state through journaling and visualizing. Setting goals is really important if you want to achieve a certain dream within a period of time. It is more fun and motivating if you have fellow online friends / community members who do the same … and that is why Abbey & I teamed up so we can all inspire each other through creative journaling & sharing through social media.” (Taken from Kaila’s Patreon site)

So without further ado here are my spreads for challenge! This time around I used my Hobonichi 2019 Avec~

 Prompt 1 : Title Page for the #dreamjournaling2019challenge

One of my main goals for 2019 is to have more artistic approach in my journals so I decided to do some doodles for the title page.

Prompt 2 : My 2019 Journals

I have 6 active journals for this year ( I know it’s a lot ). I am still planning to have an art and a monthly challenge journal as well so… xD

Hobonichi A6 ( Avec) – Daily Memory Journal

Hobonichi A5 (Cousin) – Personal Diary and Health Journal

Bullet Journal – Trackers, Idea Dump , Main Goals, Wish List etc

Schedule Book (Rilakkuma) – All sorts of appointments, schedules, and events

Devotional Journal – Daily Bible Readings and Reflections

Travel Journal (Riyadh) – My Life in Riyadh Record (highlights only)

Prompt 3 : Mantra For The Year

I tried painting this time as my design and it’s also my first time painting this much in my Hobonichi. One thing that is really awesome about the Hobonichi is their paper (Tomoe River) as it can withstand watercolors.

Prompt 4 : Top 5 Goals

I may have goals already in my Bullet Journal which is sorted in different categories (Career, Relationship, Family etc) but if I were to choose the top most of them all, here they are :

Definitely UK is my top priority goal of the year *crossesfinger*.

Prompt 5 : Ways To Achieve My Goals (Promot 4)

As you can see I have common ways to achieve my goals because well, that’s the best route as for my case. Gotta work hard and earn hard to get chase those dreams!

Prompt 6 : 3 New Activities To Try

I have been wanting to try digital art for the longest time but I just don’t have the proper tools to do so. Hopefully this year I can invest in some gadgets that could help me out practice digital arts. I have always admired bullet journals with such pretty calligraphy and lettering’s on it. It’s one of the reason actually that I also started having my own BuJo.

 Prompt 7 : Declaration(s) To The Universe

This was a bit scary page to make because of the theme that I decided on. Since the prompt says, “universe” I wanted to make a literal universe. The black watercolor was overwhelming for me because I am not quite good with blending yet but I guess it turned a bit okay somehow XD.

 Prompt 8 : Something Nee I learned This Week

I believe that the way I interpreted this prompt is a bit off and different from what the creator intended to but I just realized it when I’m done making the entire page. >.< Anyways, what I understood from this prompt was more like the things that I have learned for the past weeks. My reflections on the recent things that have happened in my life and things that I have done as well.

 Prompt 10 : Things I Love Doing

I personally skipped the #9 prompt because I wasn’t really interested with quarterly goals as I have already settled my goals on a monthly basis in my Bullet Journal.

For this prompt, I actually have more things that I love doing on my spare time but this are my top 4. This are also the things that have kept me busy for the past 4 months (my vacation in Philippines).

I must admit that I have gone a bit lazy on the last few remaining prompts of the challenge that I cramped all 4 prompts in one spread and also because I was technically running out of pages for my January.

 Prompt 11 : Self Affirmation Page

 Prompt 12 : Polaroid Washi Tape Page

I honestly wanted to make a bigger version of this one but as to no avail because I was already on my last 2 pages for January. So unfortunately I was able to make only 4 Polaroid washi tape.

 Prompt 13 : Savings Goal (Jar Illustration Page)

Another challenge that I am not sure if I made it right although I am guessing that I didn’t of course. The others that I saw in Instagram were more like an empty jar with a specific amounts that they will (probably) save for a certain goal. Although mine is basically the same (in thoughts) but what I did is more of the “jar illustration” part. Anyways it was really rushed so my bad ((´д｀)).

 Prompt 14 : MyTravel Bucket List (5 Cities)

At least I didn’t messed up this one (*ﾟﾛﾟ). My favorite that I made of all the 4 prompts that I cramped here. This are all my dream travel destinations! There are more of course~ but for now, this are my top 5!

 Prompt 15 : Art Page (Highlights of January 2019)

I have to be honest again, I wasn’t planning to make this prompt as well because like I said earlier I was on the last pages of my January already. Usually I would make a closing kinda spread for each month but unintentionally the way I made the page actually felt and looked like the #15 prompt so there you go. （・□・；）

I hope you enjoyed my simple spreads. There more prettier spreads in Instagram so if you wanna check them all out you can find them with the hashtag #dreamjournaling2019challenge and also with #ABC’sjournalingchallenge.

I am definitely looking forward for more journal challenges like this one because why not? It’s fun, inspiring and makes you more productive in journaling~

Anyways thank you for your time and see you in my next post! Happy Journaling everyone _へ__(‾◡◝ )>

Hello there 2019 (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))). Another year for new adventures and journaling but before we dive into the new ones let me share this one first. Today’s post is about a Holiday Challenge by KailaofRainbowholic where she put up a series of prompts.

This was a fun way to fill up your journals for the holiday season. This was my first time doing such challenges as well because I never tried any prompts yet since I officially started with my journals last year. Anyways so here are some of the pages I made :

 TITLE PAGE + 5 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT CHRISTMAS / DECEMBER

By the way I wasn’t using my Hobonichi on this challenge because way before I knew about this I already decided to have a separate Christmas Journal.

 CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS IN MY COUNTRY AND FAMILY

Actually we are not a celebrant type. As a family of 3 members (Me, Mama and Papa), a few food will do for us. へ‿(ツ)‿ㄏ

 A LIST OF GIFTS THAT YOU CAN GIVE (INTAGIBLE)

Sometimes, gift giving is not just about the material things but it can also be feelings that you can share to other people.

 12 THINGS I WANT MY TRUE LOVE TO GIVE TO ME

I’m not quite sure about this category actually because I don’t know what they meant by “true love” (because what if you don’t have a boyfriend or girlfriend). Anyways so I think this prompt was more about any true loves you have. It could be your family, parents, or friends.

 MY TOP 3 FAVORITE KAWAII CHARACTERS OF 2018

If you have been following me since stone-age you know how I adore Rilakkuma so definitely any year he’s on my top list.

 WASHI-FIED CHRISTMAS TREE ARTSY PAGE

Well I have a confession to make, this was my least favorite prompts that I made. Not that I don’t like Christmas Trees but I know that I made a horrible one. I wasn’t in the mood for this and my creativeness was just at it’s lowest.

 DEAR SANTA PAGE

This was a fun page for me and this was also the time when I discovered that Copics are good for coloring glossy sticker papers. Hmmm good to know. Anyways, did you ever wrote to Santa when you were small? Me? Honestly I never wrote anything. I don’t know why but I did believe in Santa Claus, I wasn’t just so hype to send him letters before.

 KAWAII SNOWMAN PAGE

One of my favorite pages~ and I love making the Journal With Me video of this one.

 MY MOST MEMORABLE GIFT (CHRISTMAS SOCK DESIGN)

Indeed a very special gift to me. This was a journal made by the daughter of one of my clients in Riyadh as a farewell gift for me. I got her inspired into doing journals because everyday she would see me do my own as well. I felt so proud and accomplished to have an influence over someone about your passions in life. She was a child (6 years old) so it makes me even happier, at least I influenced her with something that might be useful in the future. Isn’t a great achievement?

 LOOKING BACK : TOP 3 FAVORITE MEMORIES OF 2018

The Grassland Trek was an awesome experience~

 A LETTER TO MY SELF ( CURRENT AND FUTURE)

This prompt has a nice touch because writing to yourself is like having someone to remind you especially the future letter. It would be exciting to someday reread this letters. ˭̡̞(◞⁎˃ᆺ˂)◞*✰

 WHAT YEAR 2018 HAS TAUGHT ME

There’s more to this actually but this are the more significant ones for me. What about you?

 LOFTY DREAMS AND HOPEFUL WISHES FOR 2019

So that concludes all of my Holiday Challenges for last year (it sounds so long ago XD). 2018 has been a total roller coaster ride for me even up until the very last minutes of it. I learned so much and cried a lot lol but life has always been tough we just need to be tougher. I hope you are all having a great start for 2019. Lets be hopeful for a brighter and happier year and I’ll see you in my next post.
