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.

Sharing another spread from my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel today. This one was to get a lot of different ephemera pieces into this book. Honestly, I've been keeping this project super simple and low-key. Not stressing too much about how it looks or whether or not I'm behind. Just enjoying the process of snipping and sticking. And of course lots of journaling!

Happy Monday loves. I do hope you're all well. xx

I shared a quick process of creating this spread in my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel the other day. I haven't been very good at sharing these pages (or any journal pages) here lately. TBH, I've kind of been focusing on other things recently and doing more straight writing journaling than creative journaling. It's weird. I'm in a weird space. But I also feel like I'm supposed to be in this space, you know?

I shared the quick process of creating this spread in my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel the other day. I'm quite behind in sharing all of these pages (and to be honest quite behind in actually documenting my last few weeks) but it is what it is. I'm not stressing it...just like how I'm not stressing that I'm MONTHS behind in my 5-year journal lol. Glad I've been daily journaling in my planner! xx

My new (small) TBR book stack for this year. I have it to hopefully read 20 books this year, but I decided to only pull out about 10 to see if I can get through that first. Y'all, I'm terrible at reading these days. I think I just need to do better at making time for it, so I started reading before bed. We'll see how it goes. Friend me on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/aerialovely! I love seeing everyone's challenges! xx

I absolutely adore this passage about Spring from Jeanette Winterson.

Happy Astrological New Year! xx

Baby boy is 15 years old today! He's no little boy anymore, but a fine old senior dog (actually I think technically he's geriatric). He's definitely slowed down quite a bit with his thyroid problem and just general old age. C19 has definitely been really hard on him. He was struggling with his hyperactive thyroid all through 2020 and no one could figure out why he was so sad and blah until mid-2021 when he got properly diagnosed. But since being on his meds, he's got that puppy spirit again! He does have some separation anxiety now and literally needs to be with people constantly. But that's a given especially since there's always someone home now for him to be with. But it's getting better though! The absolute highlight of his week though is going over to our neighbor's apartment every Tuesday as I tutor one of the girls in math. He gets SO happy then because he gets to play lol. HBD Joey! xx
