a creative mess | journal with me ✩ 19

March 4, 2019

a creative mess

It’s a new season of Get Messy. With this new season, Caylee and Lauren launched a brand new website and a new thing called Get Messy Bootcamp. Bootcamp is essentially a way for you to jumpstart your creativity. The prompts/ideas shared during bootcamp are super simple and are really there to help you get creating in your journals.

For the first prompt, Caylee asked us to introduce ourselves to our journals by creating a statistics page. A stats page is basically just that: a photo of yourself, your name, current age/location, and a little about you at the moment.

I decided to create my page in my Unraveling journal. I’ve been feeling like I’m a bit of “a creative mess” recently. I’ve been teetering between scrapbooking, art journaling and junk journaling, trying to find my footing with each one. But it seems like I’m all over the place. Ideally, I’d love to find a natural balance between the three of them, but it’s been difficult.

I sometimes feel like I don’t know what my style is anymore. Like I don’t know where I want to go with my creativity. Somedays I want to be a prolific scrapbooker. Other days I want to explore drawing and watercolor in my art journal. Then there are times where I want to play around with vintage papers and fabrics and create tactile junk journals. But at the back of my mind, there’s this voice that keeps telling me to stick with just the one thing. In the end, I would love to be able to merge the three into a style that is all my own.

Anyway, I created this quick page in my journal just to document how I’m feeling now with the current creative state I’m in. I used an old photo of myself that I think is very representative of that feeling, along with a few bits I cut from a Daphne’s Diary magazine. That “A Creative Mess” title literally jumped out at me. It described me so perfectly.

I even filmed another journal with me video where you can see how my page came together. I hope you enjoy!

A happiness note: The nicest things can happen wh A happiness note:

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Full flip-through of this art journal is up on my Youtube channel. Link in bio. xx
Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
