I’ve been adding to my new art journal slowly. I sort of deviated from Elsie’s prompts and have been journaling things that I feel match the theme that this journal has beginning to take on. I’ve named the journal Cool Kids, the title from the Echosmith song called “Cool Kids.” I thought the song fit very well with the theme of the Free People catalog images I’ve been using. I…

journaling something new
Read moreJust some new art journaling pages I’ve done in the past month. A few of the pages were created using prompts from Elsie’s (from A Beautiful Mess) Art Journal All Year class. The others were inspired by this Free People catalogue that I’ve been tearing pages out of for a while. So I kind of kept with the catalogue’s color scheme and theme, I just loved it so much. I’ve realized…

my greek remains of the day junk journal
Read more If there’s one thing you need to know about me is that I love to make things. In the past year, art and crafts has become a mode of therapy of sorts for me. I’m always searching different lifestyle or scrapbooking blogs for what’s new or what other people are doing that is sort of scrapbooking, but just a different take on it. I personally don’t really scrapbook the…

more to discover next summer
Read moreIt’s September 1st. The Hogwarts Express has left Platform 9 3/4 and is headed off into the hills of Scotland, carrying hundreds of young wizards and witches back to school. What I’m trying to say here is summer is over. While it may not feel like it’s over for some people (like me, who don’t have to go back to school ever) and I mean, the weather seems remotely like…

dream wander explore
Read moreHere are just a few spreads from my Summer of Love art journal. I don’t think I have many favorites from this art journal, only because I’m a complete novice at it. These pages, while they are pretty, show that I didn’t really do much with the magazine images than I could have. Then again, I’m still trying to understand what’s the best way for me to journal. I suppose…

my summer of love art journal
Read moreHey! It took me awhile to post pictures of my Summer of Love art journal for various reasons. One, I didn’t get a book until about four or five days into the class. Two, when I did get my book, I had a day to mess around with it before my friend Jenna came to stay with me for a week. Three, when Jenna left, my family and I took…

art journaling + collage
Read moreAwhile ago I discovered art journaling. Essentially, art journaling is like keeping a sketchbook, except each page is a finished piece. Plus, it’s mostly a mixed media type thing. Most people use actual sketchbooks for their journal, some use composition notebooks, and then others make their own journal from different types of paper, which is always so cool to look at. For me, I just used an old day planner…

smashbooking my eurotrip 2012
Read moreI’ve always wanted to get into scrapbooking. It just seemed so fun from all the finished pages I’ve seen on various different blogs. I never really realized how time consuming scrapbook was; let alone expensive. You have to buy all of the embellishments then gather your pictures and papers and organized your layout with matching colors before you even begin to glue things down. People who scrapbook are way dedicated…
