Phrase Library
Find the words for your next page.
Sometimes a journal page just needs the right words.
The Lovely Villain Designs Phrase Library is a growing collection of original words, phrases, reminders, and little bits of language created for junk journals, art journals, collage, tags, cards, and other paper projects.
Some are thoughtful. Some are encouraging. Some are nostalgic, funny, sensory, or wonderfully weird. They’re designed to give you something more interesting to reach for when the usual words just aren’t quite right.
Print them, cut them, tear them, layer them, and make them your own.
There’s no wrong way to create.

More Than Just a Few Words
Words can change the whole feeling of a journal page.
The Lovely Villain Designs Phrase Library is written with real creative projects in mind. Instead of relying on the same familiar sayings, we create original language inspired by creativity, memory, everyday moments, sensory details, humor, encouragement, and the wonderfully weird.
You’ll find everything from tiny words and short snippets for layering to longer phrases that can become the focal point of a page. Print them on whatever paper suits your project, then cut them neatly, tear the edges, ink them, layer them, or use them exactly as they are.
Finding purpose in the unexpected — even in the words we choose.
