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.

The kit includes:

  • a 12 color set of Prismacolor watercolor pencils
  • an 8 color set of Prang watercolor paint
  • a jumbo UHU glue stick
  • a yellow Crayola marker
  • 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:
We're going to pick one lucky winner from the comments to this blog post, and only this post. To be eligible to win, you must leave a comment below describing your favorite material to use in your art or your journal. You have until midnight Eastern Time on Friday, March 13 to enter. We will randomly select and announce a winner from all eligible entrants on Saturday, March 14.

I love my staedtler coloured fineliners. They are super portable & have a great travel case for the art journal-er on the go!

Wulf said...

I like the Prismacolor Premier .005 markers. They're so beautifully fine, but still durable enough to use.

I love my cheap acrylic craft paints. They've opaque and come in every color you can imagine!

My favorite material to use in a journal is what I call "schmutz" or what you fondly call fodder! I save lots of stuff from trips and everyday life and this schmutz usually gets glued into and onto a journal.

Lately it's been I
Derwent Inktense Watercolor pencils.

Debbie said...

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.

Renee Dowling said...

My favourite media to use in my art journal is my watercolour paints and a fine tipped black pen.

For a quick fix, my UHU glue stick

My favourite journal supply at the moment is baby wipes - for many different reasons, but atm I love them for applying and removing glazes of acrylic paints.

Linda said...

I love using my distress acrylic paint dabbers !!!

Bedsit Diary said...

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.

My favourite thing is tissue paper.

Jenny Hays said...

I love the Prang watercolors you guys mentioned in your books Journal Fodder 365 and The Journal Junkies Workshop! They are inexpensive, but have a vibrant pallet and great coverage! : )

I love my Pigma Graphic brush pen size 1, Uhu glue sticks, and Prang Watercolors. Honestly there is no art supply I do not love.

Jeni Yantis said...

I make collages, and I love using vintage ephemera, like old photos and postcards and scribbled-on pages from children's books. I love the sense of history those types of items bring to my work!

For on the go I love the Micro pens and Brush markers for color. Happy Journaling!!!

Lisa Jones said...

I love my Uniball white, silver and black pens, acrylic paints and hand made stamps!

Judy H said...

Magazines! I am hell on magazines. They get torn up and reused as backgrounds, words for pages, and now, using them to collect phrases and pictures for writing prompts for my writing group.

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!

Kathy S said...

That's a tough one, but I'd have to say my Molotow Markers would be my most favorite thing to use my journal - that is, besides paint!

LunaGrrl said...

I am new to this art form. I do pen and ink with the INC rollerball pen. I also use oil pastels and watercolor. I would love to figure out other ways to journal!

Theresa Merkling said...

impossible to pick just one - but I guess my black fine line pen gets used most of all... scissors and glue stick a close 2nd...

Mary said...

I love all my art making toys! I've just added some Sakura glaze pens to my playbox and anticipate a lot of pleasure from them. Thank you for this generous offer. Good luck to everyone!

My favorite material to use in my journal are pan pastels. Great for shading and depth, simple to use, and compact.

T Ashley said...

I like using colored pencil but I am open to trying anything because you never know if you'll like something more if you don't try at all....

Unknown said...

My new favorite is black gesso! I use it as a background, use it with stencils, dilute it down and use it to distress....it's awesome!

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
