get messy: season of kindness week four + five

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

I solemnly swear I did not forget to post my Get Messy Art Journal Season of Kindness week four spreads last week. I actually never made any.

You know, it was one of those weeks where I really didn’t feel like creating in my art journal. I totally get like that from time to time and that’s when I’ll create in a different way. Last week was spent snipping and sticking things down in my new Felicity Jane planner that I’m keeping as my own personal reflective journal/vision board. It’s what I was inspired to do–or I should say, what I felt like doing–and it’s okay for me to miss an entire week of creating in my art journal.

That said though, I did manage to do two spreads this week. I didn’t follow the prompts–I’ll admit, I haven’t read week four or five’s prompts at all–but I did respond to one of the tutorials that went up on the site, I think, during week three?

Anyway, for this first spread I wanted to play around with these beautiful stickers Kathy from Lace and Whimsy sent me. I used stickers mostly from her The Birds and The Bees and Fairies and Folly sticker sheets. I absolutely love the lilac fairy stickers! That entire sheet matches so well with the colors and theme of my Kindness journal. I also used a couple of butterflies from the pink version of the fairies sticker sheet, which I found matched so well with the butterfly washi tape I used from Prima Marketing.

All I did was create a simple collage with the stickers and washi tape around this piece of paint chip I had left over from one of my previous spreads. Honestly, this page came about from snipping and sticking things down. It was more a therapeutic process than anything else. I really had no intent of creating a masterpiece; I just wanted to play.

On the page to the right, I took a ripped piece of drawing paper and stuck it down using one of the Lace and Whimsy stickers, layering it over a piece of the Prima washi tape that I just put there because I tore too much of the tape for a different project and didn’t want to waste any of the leftovers because that tape is simply gorgeous! I then took an old Freckled Fawn stamp that the lovely Wilna Furstenberg designed and stamped “life a life of love” to that ripped piece of paper.

This fold-out spread is my take on Clare’s lovely mandala tutorial. Again, I used some Lace and Whimsy stickers here too. I create my mandala from a white doily that I had stitched into the center of my journal. I simply glued the side down to my page. I used one of the You Are Magic stickers for the center of my mandala. I simply fussy cut one of the squared stickers out because I really wanted the pink background but not a square shape. I sprinkled some star stickers about my spread as well. That one butterfly piece I fussy cut from a Prima Lavender paper.

For the foldout, I used a Maggie Holmes word phrase sticker from the Chasing Dreams collection that read “Remember This” and placed that on the flap. On the inside of the foldout, I added a piece of drawing paper and at the bottom a sticker of two fairies and some more stars sprinkled about. This was where I did my journaling, reminding myself that I am awesome and magical and to not forget that.

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
