get messy: season of kindness week three

get messy: season of kindness week three
* This post contains affiliate links *

I’m honestly very surprised I got any pages done this week. It’s been a super blah week. The doggie was sick for most of it and the weather decided to be a cold, gloomy mess these last three days. So I’ve been very tired and bleh. The current social and political discourse happening this past week didn’t really help much either in terms of mood, but it did have me thinking that we need more kindness in this world. People just need to stop thinking solely about themselves and begin to show compassion for others. America is in such a tragic state of corruption, narcissism and greed, it’s hard to be hopeful that it can change.

But anyway, my Get Messy Art Journal Season of Kindness pages!

This first spread started out as something completely different (I have a Journal with Me coming real soon of this spread). But it evolved from this sticker I had that says “Have courage and be kind.” It made me think of all of those Florida high school students who are speaking out against their Congressmen, advocation for comprehensive gun control. I don’t necessarily think it takes courage to be kind, but it does take mindfulness and conscientiousness towards others. These Congressmen can’t think beyond their wallets to put fort that type of kindness.

Anyway, that’s what I sort of end up journaling about on that paint swatch. It’s so interesting how simple this spread actually is. I just scribbled on the page then layered a printed doily and a floral over it, adding the sticker over that in the end. On the right page, I layered a torn piece of book page behind the paint swatch, then accented it with a bit of washi tape from Prima’s Amelia Rose and Cherry Blossom collections. So simple.

I kept this second spread super simple. I had this card that read “throw kindness around like confetti” and just wanted to include it in my journal somehow. This purple floral pattern paper was just a little too busy, so I quieted the page with a white doily. I then layered the card over it, with a few florals I fussy cut from a spare bit of the wallpaper that’s on the right. I kept the right page as it was because it looked complete that way.

This last spread is really just a page. I left the foiled diamond vellum sheet as is and played around with some washi tape and stickers on the left side. I used some hexi and butterfly stickers from Lace and Whimsy that I thought went well with my color scheme and theme. The sticker “inspire someone today” was from a Maggie Holmes sticker sheet and it basically inspired the journaling on this page. I jotted a few thoughts about inspiring others to be kind by being their example, because kindness does fuel more kindness.

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
