The Full Low Down on the Super-Pretty Carnival Range
Posted by Seasonal Notebook Journals on Tuesday, July 31, 2018 Under: Design Ranges
First published back in 2015 on one of our many Blank Sheet Music Manuscript Books, this design has been such a hit that it's now available on pretty much everything we publish. So, if you're considering buying a large set of journals this is the one to go for.
1. THE ORIGINAL MUSIC CARNIVAL DESIGN
These make for perfect Music Presents. Music lovers and musicians love love love them
Small Musician's Notebook for Writing (~A5)

There's also a Password Journal that looks identical.

This is the 2022 edition, with longer, open staves, a Contents Table, the same musical reference pages at the back and a now hardcover version too
.

For those who want to write words, not music, there's the option of a Writer's Notebook or a Composition Notebook. The design on the Composition Notebook is larger and bolder, particularly the main treble Clef, than that on the Writer's Notebook. The Writer's Notebook is like a colorful lacework celebration of music. Super pretty!

Then there's a:
Daily Planner Notebook,
Daily Planner Notebook,
Monthly Budget Planner & Organizer
& Perpetual Birthday Calendar Book.

2. THE CARNIVAL DESIGN FOR FOODIES
All of them look exactly the same except the Monthly Budget Planner is A4 whereas the other two are slightly smaller 8" x 10". The image below is the Monthly Budget Planner just for reference.

2. THE CARNIVAL DESIGN FOR FOODIES
These food-related journals are really pretty too. There's a Food Diary, a Blank Recipe Book and a Meal Planner Notebook. The design ahs colorful soup ladles, old-fashioned kettles, a giant pepper pot, casserole dishes and fruit segments hidden in the pattern. The Food Diary cover has been changed slightly. We thought it might help shoppers understand what it is. Not sure how well that went down, but here the three are as things currently stand anyway:

The Weekly Meal Planner Book Looks exactly the same
3. CARIVAL OWLS NOTEBOOKS & JOURNALS

3. CARIVAL OWLS NOTEBOOKS & JOURNALS
All of these have Owls and musical symbols, except for the Reading Log where the owls are nestled amongst books instead. Working from small to large ...

The Guest Book would be perfect for a Kids Party. Something different anyway, and paperback so nice and affordable.
Continuing in the vain of journals for kids. Next up is a Mother's Day Journal. It's something a little different. The idea is that instead of permanently succumbing to the blatant commercialism that is Mothers Day. The kids can buy an affordable journal, just the once, and then add to it each year, writing messages and drawing pictures for Mom. Over the years they build a keepsake for her to remember her children growing up. (The pages alternate between ruled and blank for drawings to help make it work.)

Following on in the theme of showing gratitude, we did do a Carnival Owls Daily Gratitude Journal too. Is such a happy and uplifting design it was a no brainer. It's cover image is below.
The Weekly Personal Planner,
Perpetual Birthday Calendar Book
& Large Writing Journal Notebook
All look the same, so no need to repeat the pics. You can shop each one using the links in the text above.

With regards to writing journals. Again, if you prefer a Composition Notebook then that's an option too.

To round off the Carnival Owls there's just one more... a Reading Log. It's the only one where the musical symbols have been removed and replaced by stacks of books, obviously! (that's smARTbookx for you. LOL, It just HAS to be right).

4. CARNIVAL BLACK CATS NOTEBOOKS

4. CARNIVAL BLACK CATS NOTEBOOKS
Well predominantly black cats anyway. There is also a creamy colored cat and a purple-black one about to pounce (he's on the back cover). Its pretty much perfect if your'e looking for stationery for a cat-lover. Links below:
~A5 Cat Notebook
and Password Journal

As always, there is a larger
Cat Writing Journal Notebook
and Cat Composition Notebook e.g. for College (image below the Writing Journal).
We hope there's an option which works for your lifestyle.

5. CARNIVAL INDIAN ELEPHANTS JOURNALS

5. CARNIVAL INDIAN ELEPHANTS JOURNALS
The colors of India on a writing journal. What could be prettier? Same suite of options as the Black Carnival Cats above, but minus the Monthly Budget Planner.

6. LAST OF THE CARNIVAL ANIMALS ... THE UNICORNS!!
Our Carnival Unicorns were always designed with adults and older children in mind. Adults can still like unicorns right !?
We ended up with two slightly different designs. Both are super pretty once you hold the journal in your hand, but with the original design, the unicorns disappear a little when viewed on the small thumb nail image that you get in the Amazon search results, so when we got round to the Writing Journal we put the unicorns on a midnight blue background which we think works better. Decide for yourself and let us know which you prefer (we always love to hear both what you like and what you don't like, otherwise how can we get it right).

7. CARNIVAL GARDEN PLANNER & JOURNAL
With a colorful watering can in the foreground and plenty of flowers, pot plants and garden wildlife melded in to the design, we love it. The images from the carnival-style are also used on the inside pages, which are full of decorative designs taken from the front cover. It's the perfect Garden Planner for a pretty flower garden.

and finally...
8. CARNIVAL TRIP PLANNER & TRAVEL JOURNAL

and finally...
8. CARNIVAL TRIP PLANNER & TRAVEL JOURNAL
Complete with colorful hot air balloons, sailing ships and air planes, its got a bit of a Disney vibe to it. So good if you need a Trip Planner to organize a family trip to Disney. (Yes, okay, the wave is a giant treble clef turned on it's side - well if it works!)


... and that enormous tome of a post sums it all up for the Carnival Range. If you're after something specific, that we haven't covered already, just ask. It may be super easy for us to put one together for you.
