celebrate today minibook

June 13, 2015

I absolutely love a great minibook! Every year, Studio Calico offers a Minibook Library that’s filled with four minibook workshops held throughout the year. Last year I just bought Maggie Holmes’ workshop because it was the only one that interested me, but this year there are four amazing workshops for four of my favorite scrapbookers! So I bought the Library and have been trying my hand at the two workshops that have come out. The way these workshops work is that every three months, a new one is opened up for registration before its start. If you buy the Library, you are already enrolled in all four workshops, so you just have to wait until the class content goes live. The first workshop was one by Tina Aszmuz, which already went live back in February. (I started that minibook, but alas, have not finished it yet). The second workshop is from Maggie Holmes and it just went live a few days ago!

I love Maggie’s style and I try to take all of the classes she offers at Studio Calico, because she inspires me so much. I actually have a bigger class by her that I haven’t done yet, which is why I love these minibook workshops. They’re essentially small scrapbook classes. Making a minibook is just really fun and when I’m inspired, I can just dive right in and flesh out a mini in a few days. The theme of Maggie’s class was celebration. So I’m making a minibook entitled Celebrate Today and it’s basically going to be about all the things in life that I love and appreciate. I treat my minibooks as little art journals. I just put what I feel, random thoughts or quotes, not really thinking too hard about an event or story. I find this to be very freeing and I’m able to just experiment with the techniques and styles I learn in the class.

I haven’t finished this minibook; it’s actually still in progress, I just wanted to share what I have done so far, because it’s coming out really well! I’m trying to play with tags and adding texture to my pages. So I’ve been sewing and layering and making custom clear pockets to hold confetti and glitter and things and it’s amazing! I’ve having so much fun with this minibook!









Check out this flip through of my minibook with even more pages!

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
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
