The idea of a Prayer or Gratitude Journal has been circulating around for several months, and when I saw that we were going to sell the 5×5 On Board Art Journals in the Spring Mini Catalog, I thought this would make a great Gratitude Journal! I have taught this in a class and sold many "Class on the Go" kits with supplies for others to make this 20 page journal.
I used many of the supplies found in the Spring Mini Catalog, such as:
- 5×5 On Board Art Journal, pg 16
- Round Tab and Spiral punches, pg 17
- Office Accoutrement set, pg 14
- Notations papers, pg 15
- Little Reminders tin, pg 15
- Petals & Paisleys papers, pg 9
plus a variety of stamp sets in the main catalog.
Here are some ideas for the cover of the journal:
I used an On Board Letter "g" and wrote GRATITUDE with one of our journaling markers on this one. I like our Anywhere Glue Stick for adhering the cover sheet to the journal, and for adhering the designer paper to the chipboard letter.
Here are some ideas for the inside pages of the Gratitude Journal:
I used SNAIL to adhere all the paper and embellishments to the inside pages.
These are the personalized stamps I ordered (pg 198 of the catalog – item D – Simple Serif style) to use inside the journals.
I hope you feel inspired, and remember to always count your blessings!

WOW! This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
What an amazing journal! I just love it and I’m sure Shelli did too. Thanks for sharing.
Patty, this is fabulous! Thanks for sharing!
Patty- I am going through all your posts now that I have found your blog and just so impressed. I love your gratitude journals. I love all your work. It is very inspirational. All the little sayings in this book – where did you get them from. Example on the God’s Love page the saying about prayer-did you write that yourself. I just love it. Would you mind sharing the sayings? I belong to a bible study group and these would be wonderful gifts or a great class if I can get them interested in stamping!
Thanks so much for the wonderful projects.

Patty,
I just found this! What a treasure! Thanks for the detailed instructions! They are adorable and such a wonderful witness!
This is such a lovely idea. My Mom is 90 and I know she would really love this and what a lovely heirloom to share. Do you every prepare a kit such as this that can be sent to Canada?
