Scrapbooking has morphed into creative journaling. They make books just for this with blank pages and covers that look like this to inspire you. But you can make your own.
250 Journaling Topics
30 Journaling Topics for Self-Reflection and Self-Discovery
119 Journal Prompts for your Journal Jar (I like the idea of the journal jar, and the cover image)
You could also do themed journals; one for travel, one for family, one for fiction, one for dreams, etc.
I have themed notebooks of my own. I had this crazy idea I would jot down good moments every day this year... but after a few weeks, I ended up just jotting down whatever happened that day. Writing down your 'blessings' is harder than it seems! I have one for scripture lessons, one for goals, one for writing down possible character names, and a couple that serve as Writer's Notebooks. These do not have doodles in them, though. I have one just for that, too.
Let this be a starting point, a bookmark, for your own inspiration. Get some composition books on clearance (like I did) and get to writing out your creative passion!
Here is a poem I wrote called: Create!
The artist paints
The craftsman sculpts
The writer scripts
The designer pieces
The musician harmonizes
The craftsman sculpts

Whether you create
One way or another
The point is to do it
And do it with flare
One way or another
The point is to do it
And do it with flare
Be you, be the essence of yourself
Put your heart into it
Move so that time stops
Your creation is pure passion
Put your heart into it
Move so that time stops
Your creation is pure passion
Breathe in, breathe out
Forget time, forget space
Don’t worry about eating
Forget time, forget space
Don’t worry about eating
Become, express,
Exist in a small space
Use broad strokes
Tell your story
Exist in a small space
Use broad strokes
Tell your story
Do it for yourself, your family
For your soul, your pleasure
Dig deep within and find the message
The center of your being
For your soul, your pleasure
Dig deep within and find the message
The center of your being
Create!

I like the idea of keeping a journal or journals. But I don't like doing it. I start then stop and feel bad that I haven't been more disciplined. I guess blogging takes the place of a journal for me.
I've kept "Diarys" for years. Since I've got older I've all but stopped. I love to write and I love this idea.
