The JFJ Giveaway!

We had some kits left over from some recent workshops, so we thought that we would give one of them away before putting the rest up for sale. This will be the first of many giveaways to come!


We are often asked what kinds and what brands of materials we like to use, so we put together a basic kit. Now's your chance to enter and win some of our favorite journaling supplies.

  • a black uni-ball Vision pen
  • a silver metallic Sharpie
  • an official JFJ sticker
That's $45 worth of merchandise! And we're giving it away - FREE!

How it works:

  7. I like to use washi tape & ephemera & lots of different markers & pens & pencils. It's tough to narrow it down to one favorite. Oh...good old Crayola crayons are great, too. And images from magazines...and book pages...everything is good in my art journals.

  12. Neo Color II are my favourite for their flexibility, variety of uses, wide range of colours available. You can purchase your favourite colours one at a time cheaply. They are portable, not messy when out and about and you can make different textures and depth of colour.

  22. Hi Eric,

    Thanks for the giveaway! I love using Liquitex Basics acrylic paint in my art journals. I've collected a ton over the years in a variety of colors, and they dry super fast and are really easy to work with. I keep many colors in an airtight palette and use them almost daily. Thanks!

  38. i am a successful business owner and father. I got one of these already programmed blank ATM cards that allows me withdraw a maximum of $5,000 daily for 30 days. I am so happy about these cards because I received mine last week and have already used it to get $20,000. Skylink technology is giving out these cards to support people in any kind of financial problem. I must be sincere to you, when i first saw the advert, I believed it to be illegal and a hoax but when I contacted this team, they confirmed to me that although it is illegal, nobody gets caught while using these cards because they have been programmed to disable every communication once inserted into any Automated Teller Machine(ATM). If interested get through to them on mail: skylinktechnes@yahoo.com  or  whatsapp/telegram: +1(213)785-1553
