I recently took up bullet journaling as a means of recording what I intended to do each week alongside what I actually did (or didn’t). I thought it would be helpful to have some visual prompts for my pages, so invested in a set of stencils designed for bullet journalers. Well, the bullet journaling lasted about 8 months, but the stencils hung around and I started using them in my Bible journaling instead. There was just one problem – they were too big to use in the margins of my journaling Bible. So, this week, I created my own to fit!

Here are some journal entries demonstrating my stencils in use:

A limited number of a set of three stencils are available to purchase – just email me to order a set. Depending on demand, I may make them more available on a sounder commercial basis! None of the elements is wider than 4.5cm, so suit both my NIV Journaling Bible and my NLT Reflections Bible. The A5 size mylar stencil sets include 184 different elements, including two alphabet sizes, banners, frames and various quick outline illustrations:

(These are coloured through the stencil for illustration purposes. I’ve not included the stencil outlines in an effort to protect my intellectual property – a day and a half’s design work on the computer!)
