Today I'm finally sharing a detailed tutorial of how I use Canva to do all of the prep work for my reading journal! From the absolute basics of how to use Canva, to how I source the images I use, to sizing tips (the exact size I make my book covers, for example!), and how I make the charts I use to show my reading stats. I talk through the kinds of things I search to find images on Google and Pinterest, how I keep files organized, and how I use Canva's tools as a template to save time! I hope this video is helpful and goes into enough detail for everyone who has asked me questions about how I create the pages I print to use in my reading journal set ups. Because this is a longer one there are chapters so you can skip around to what's relevant to you! If I missed anything please leave a comment down below so I can clarify ❤
