Keeping a journal is at the top of many New Year&rsquo;s Resolution lists, so I thought it would be fun to make a few different journals using sublimation! The new year is a great time to make your own custom journal. The best part? They make a great gift for any season, holiday, or event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I find that journaling helps me stick to goals and intentions I set for myself at the beginning of each year. Rather than make a resolution, I typically choose a word for my year and develop goals around it. By journaling, I allow myself to check in and come back to that word throughout the year. My words for the last few years were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Worth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deliberate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For this new year, my word is &ldquo;simplify.&rdquo; This year, I&rsquo;m going back to the basics in so many ways, both in my business and my personal life. I&rsquo;m very happy to be looking at the upcoming year as a time to clarify what&rsquo;s really important and streamline some things that have become too big. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" data-pin-description=\"Create one-of-a-kind, personalized journals using sublimation!

For this post I tested three different journals and I&rsquo;ll share my pros and cons of each below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Hardcover Journal - Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2VV7ecX\" data-linkid=\"60899\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Small Coil-Bound Sublimation Notebook<\/a> &ndash; 4.125&Prime; x 5.75&Prime; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sublimation Notebook - Etsy\" href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/recommends\/sublimation-notebook-etsy\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Large Click-Bound Sublimation Notebook<\/a> &ndash; 8.375&Prime; x 11.25&Prime;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Faux Leather Sublimation Journal - Amazon.com\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/41lGvq4\" data-linkid=\"104329\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Small Faux Leather Sublimation Journal<\/a> &ndash; 9.125&Prime; x 5.75&Prime;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For these journals, I am using my Sawgrass SG1000 along with Photoshop. For the two smaller journals, you can use a regular sheet of paper, but if you want to do a full-size image for the large notebook, you&rsquo;ll need a printer that can print 11 x 17. You could also do a smaller image on the larger notebook, if you&rsquo;d like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, for my press I&rsquo;m using my WALApress heat press. You can use a <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"EasyPress 3 9x9 - Cricut.com\" href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/recommends\/easypress-3-9x9-cricut-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Cricut EasyPress<\/a>, just make sure that you are using a <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Wool Pressing Mat - Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3hztMaO\" data-linkid=\"63948\" data-shortcode=\"true\">firm mat<\/a> under your project instead of the EasyPress mat and that you&rsquo;re using firm, even pressure. If you&rsquo;re using a Cricut EasyPress, I would suggest sticking with a design that can be completely covered by your press plate so you don&rsquo;t end up with press marks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are new to sublimation printing and need to review the basics, see my post <a href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/sublimation-printing-basics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Ultimate Guide to Sublimation Printing &amp; Crafting<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-watch-the-sublimation-journals-video\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_the_Sublimation_Journals_Video\"><\/span>Watch the Sublimation Journals Video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;d like to see this project in video form, just hit play below!

But Photoshop makes it easy to size an image perfectly for your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by creating a new document slightly bigger than your journal cover (sizes for the journals I used are above).

It also included a gray ribbon bookmark, which was a nice touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>: The journal won&rsquo;t lay flat when writing in it (though most similarly bound journals have the same problem). You can hear the adhesive straining as you open the pages.

Decide what you&rsquo;ll use your journal for<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned above, I use my journal to keep track of my goals for the year. I add checklists, random ideas, and periodic check ins so I know where I&rsquo;m at over time. There are so many ways to journal. You can document your day, use it as a gratitude journal, write down thoughts\/quotes\/anything that resonates with you, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What will you use your journal for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-use-writing-prompts-or-don-t\">2. Use writing prompts&mdash;or don&rsquo;t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the thought of journaling feels overwhelming, you may want to try out some journaling prompts. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>I am grateful for&hellip;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>I am feeling&hellip;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Today I&rsquo;m reflecting on&hellip;<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Prompts can be very simple, or more in depth questions you ask yourself. If you&rsquo;re feeling stuck, you can search for journaling prompts online and see if they help you get started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If prompts aren&rsquo;t your thing and you&rsquo;d rather create lists or joy down thoughts, that&rsquo;s fine too! This is your personal journaling journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-create-a-routine\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Create_a_routine\"><\/span>3. Create a routine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Decide whether you&rsquo;ll journal daily, weekly, monthly, or some other cadence that works for you. I find that making journaling part of your routine and schedule helps to actually stick to it. It may take some time to get into it, but hopefully over time the thoughts flow easier and you begin to reap the benefits of journaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-don-t-put-pressure-on-yourself\">4. Don&rsquo;t put pressure on yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, I know I just said to create a routine, however, if you skip a day (or five!) don&rsquo;t fret. Journaling should make you feel good. It&rsquo;s something solely for you and no one else. Don&rsquo;t put unrealistic expectations on yourself. If journaling works better for you when it&rsquo;s more sporadic, that&rsquo;s fine too! It&rsquo;s like most other routines in life. If you aren&rsquo;t enjoying it, you won&rsquo;t stick with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, don&rsquo;t get caught up in what your journal looks like. My journal and your journal will look very different. There are people who create and keep gorgeous planners, and then there are people like me&mdash;mine is a MESS and doesn&rsquo;t look nearly as neat and tidy as most of my &ldquo;online&rdquo; life!. What works for you won&rsquo;t work for everyone else. Don&rsquo;t compare yourself to others!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-get-creative\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Get_creative\"><\/span>5. Get creative<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And lastly, make your journal exactly what YOU want it to be! If you&rsquo;re like me and enjoy writing with flair pens, then by all means, go to town! Make those pages as colorful (or non-colorful) as you&rsquo;d like! Add doodles, magazine clippings, pictures, or anything else that sparks joy and makes you feel good. Again, there&rsquo;s no one-size-fits-all for journaling, so do what works best for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-description=\"Create one-of-a-kind, personalized journals using sublimation!
