Working in my Art Journal: Separation

My son is leaving for Army Boot Camp on Monday, January 2nd and I'm feeling a little blue about it.  Please pray for his safe return.  He'll be in for 3 years. 

Working in my Art Journal: Love

Art Journaling - Winter Beauty

Art Journaling!

I love to play in my art journal, but I especially love to play in my art journal in the winter!  The paper I was ripping in the video is scrap paper that was used to catch the overspray of Glimmer Mist!  Don't ya just love it!

Some Art Journaling Pages I Did Recently

My First Art Journal Video

An art journal page

Just having fun in my art journal!  I was totally missing playing in my art journal while I was doing the last challenge. I picked up some silver mechanics tape (?) at our local home building store (Menards) and wanted to play with it.  I stamped on it with staz-on.

My Junk Art Journal - Currently in Progress

This is another of my Art Journal pages.

I love this stamp called "girl in repose" so I stamped it out numerous times and embossed it with Distress emboss so it feels real "papersandy" like.  (for lack of a better word)  I then watercolored over them in different colors and placed them on a watercolored background then wrote some quotes about beauty around the pictures.  It looks really neat in person, especially if you feel it.

Some fun ways of "using it up", ART JOURNAL PAGES!!

I recently started getting involved with making Art Journal pages.  I'm really loving it.  I can use anything I want on the pages, anything goes.  I love thinking about that kind of freedom. 

This page was done with Portfolio watercolor crayons, I used my Cricut to cut out the tree and the leaves, Copic markers, acrylic paint and stickles on the water.  And buttons for fruit on the tree.
