about tiffany julia

Hello. I’m Tiffany Julia. I’m an artist living in New York City with an absolute passion for documenting my everyday life. I love to write, compose music, scrapbook and create art. I’m a creative of all kinds really, who also enjoys traveling the world and learning about different cultures, all while I eat tons of delicious food. I love documenting my various journeys around the world in thick handmade travel journals, and while I’m not out traversing the globe, I enjoy documenting the everyday in my scrapbooks and experimenting with mixed media in my art journals.

I have an unrestrained passion for many things and I often find myself longing for something greater than life. I hope to share my creativity and inspire you to create beautiful imagery and document your own life in a meaningful way.

Let’s be creatives together.

a blog once named aerialove

aerialovely was initially my blog about love.

It began in January 2013 and was intended to be an exploration of life and love after loss. My father had recently passed away and I was struggling with all of these emotions and was left with so many questions. I started collecting photos, quotes, music and video about life and love and wrote about whatever topic came to my mind. I was curating a place full of thought, but I wasn’t really creating anything of my own.

After a while I began to share more about myself and my life. I started sharing my art, my crafts, my words. I began posting about my travels abroad and sharing my own photos. I shared music playlists I made with all of the current songs I was loving and wrote posts that reflected my personal unraveling. Scrapbooking and art journaling became a huge part of my creative life here as well.  I soon found a community of people who created, shared and enjoyed the same things I did, and as I began to make connections, my blog took on a crafty life of its own.

I suppose that's the thing about love. It permeates through even the deepest of places, reaches into the darkest of caverns, and can heal the saddest of souls. It manifest itself in everything and everyone. It's completely aerial.

While I still write about my life and share my travels, my journals and scrapbooks have become the main focus of my blog. I began working with scrapbooking companies on their design teams and soon began offering some creative classes myself here on my blog as well as at Big Picture Classes and Get Messy Art Journal. Over the years, I’ve had wonderful opportunities collaborating with various artists to create projects, ecourses, and tutorials.

In 2018, I was honored to work with Get Messy as a creative team member, creating various tutorials for the community. This opportunity has really helped me grow as an artist and content creator. I want to create and share my life, my art, and my words with you now more than ever. I do hope you continue to join me on this creative journey as we unravel all the lovely wonders of life.

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
