Fiskars' tools allow you the flexibility of building your own journaling blocks using any papers you wish.  Combining shape templates, decorative scissors, stamps, and punches create a limitless variety of journaling options.  Using striped patterned paper is a great tip for journaling to easily keep your writing straight.  And if the stripes are too dark or distracting, simply add a layer of vellum to tone it down while still utilizing those helpful lines from beneath.

Yellow Journaling Block
1.  Using Ultra ShapeXpress with Frames Template, cut Victorian frame from striped paper.
2.  To create a thin border, trace frame backwards onto back of purple cardstock and cut out.  Since using the Ultra ShapeXpress cuts a smaller frame than cutting traced shape by hand, you end up with a perfect, thin border.
3.  Adhere frames together centered and add journaling.
