Gelly Roll Swatch Pages

[seleneheart]

As discussed previously, I've made a swatch page for Gelly Rolls. It's a pdf here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15P-NU3I1wUcTdv1b96grpYb_5I2aoTi5/view?usp=drive_link

It's in my Google drive and anyone with that link should be able to access it - let me know if you have a problem getting it.

I tried to divide it up so that it could be printed more easily without tables spilling over onto random pages. I added the UV colors, but they aren't out yet, so I didn't know their numbers - I just went by the description the Sakura USA page.

I had no idea how many varieties of Gelly Rolls exist until I started this project!

I hope someone finds this useful!

advice for a newbie?

Hello! So I recently discovered the concept of a commonplace book, got really excited about it because I haven't journaled by hand since high school and every previous attempt of mine at keeping a planner/bujo has failed, and have now ended up here looking for advice. I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos of people showing off their own commonplace books to get ideas on content, setup, etc. and am curious what kind of supplies you guys would recommend for somewhat casual journaling? There's a lot more to consider about notebooks/pens than I realized before looking into the subject and I have basically no knowledge of paper types and fancy pens and whatnot.

For reference I've done a little browsing and I'm eyeing things like this Hobonichi Plain Notebook or this Leuchtturm1917 Hardcover (I'd probably want something medium size, with dot or grid paper), but I'd love to see what you guys prefer, or what pens you'd recommend, that kind of thing! Any advice you'd give for someone who's only previous notebook concern was whether the cover was cute or not lol.

(Any tips on commonplace books or journaling in general is welcome too! I love seeing how people prefer to set up their journals/how they like to decorate/etc.)
