Free printable March journal

First, a great big thank you to Jane of DigitalArtsi. Her beautiful digital watercolor artwork decorates the pages of this journal. I am grateful for her beautiful art, affordable licensing, and generous terms of use. Thank you, Jane!

For the best journaling experience, I recommend printing the pages on bright white 32# paper. It's smooth to write on so your words can flow without scratchy, annoying paper. It resists feathering and bleeding, too, so any doodling, drawing, or lettering you do will look great. (Tired of junky pens? Discover the best pens for journaling in this post.)

Like all planner and journal printables on The Artisan Life, these printables are for personal and classroom use. This includes use with your own students, therapy clients, Scout groups, library groups, etc. as long as you are personally organizing the activity and not charging specifically to participate.

You are not licensed to redistribute the printed pages or digital files to others for use with their children/students. Please refer your friends and coworkers to this page so they can download their own copies.
