Today we at Some Odd Girl we are kicking off a new Monthly Challenge, its all about getting your markers, pencils, paints or whatever you use to color and to experiment using our Color Prompts each month. You can get all the details over at our blog blog and the first color prompt today.
To keep track of all my color combos I created my own Color Swatch Journal. You’ve seen the cover but I’d like to share the inside with you. Its pristine, minus this month’s combo, so its undecorated but I’m sure that will change.
I’m sorting my combos by color and created punched dividers in each color. My Journal is an A5 size 3 ring binder so the pages are a letter paper cut in half. Kraft for the dividers so their easy to spot and Hammermill in between.
In the back of my Journal I, oddly, had paper that matched the cover color (picked up at Office Max) so I’m using it for notes. Things like what refills I need, combos I see and want to try and anything else so I can keep it all in one place.
I’d love to see you over in our Community taking part in our first Color Swatch Prompt and sharing your Journal with us! Its going to be tons of fun so you’ll want to be there.
If you share your journal out in the world, we’re using #ColorSwatchJournal so make sure to tag us!

Hi Kristy, I completed my swatch journal and 2 color swatches for the first week. Do we post our pics on the FB page? I don’t twitter or have a blog, so I was wondering. BTW… I love your journal! I’m trying to cut back on picking up cool, new things, so I used stuff I had in my crafty stash. I am fairly new to using copics (I’ve had them forever, just never found time to work with them), so I am excited to see everyone’s combos and picking up some tips. Thank you ~Kim
