Throwback Thursday: Today I...

Illustrate your day.

Throwback Thursday: Magazine Stripes

Rip a few pages from a magazine into strips and mix them up for a journal page (or two or three... it'll be hard to stop!).

Throwback Thursday: Black and White

Restrict yourself to using a single black pen to fill a page.

Throwback Thursday: Word of the Day

Here's an idea for a daily sketchbook practice: use an online dictionary's "word of the day" as a prompt.

Throwback Thursday: Simple Collage

Not sure what it is about these two simple collages, but they just speak to me.

Throwback Thursday: Groceries

Drawing out lists - in this case, a grocery list - is a great journal prompt.

Throwback Thursday: Happy

I love simple little prompts like these. They make the best pages to look back on.

Throwback Thursday: Book Pages

Book pages are super fun to use in sketchbooks - there are so many things you can do with them! Here's a page where I used paint and doodling to highlight a few choice words.

Throwback Thursday: Ombre Diamonds

Like last week, here's another sketchbook page where I used up some scraps of pretty papers. This time I pieced together a fun ombre pattern for a really neat effect.

Throwback Thursday: Scraps

Throwing away small scraps of paper is hard for me - maybe I'll find the perfect project for it one day! Usually though, they just end up accumulating in envelopes and folders on my craft desk. I distinctly remember challenging myself to use these scraps for these old pages... a challenge I'll be revisiting this week as they turn into really fun pages!
