my art journal pages lately | journal with me ✩ 47+48

October 26, 2020

Hey Lovelies.

Just wanted to share a few pages I’ve done recently in my Get Messy Season of Bloom art journal. I’ve been a bit out of sorts lately and honestly have absolutely no motivation to do anything. It’s been a bit frustrating because I want to work in this art journal and my scrapbook and start my gratitude journal, but at the same time, I don’t want to do anything.

Supplies I Used:

  • Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Paint Titan Violet Pale
  • Holbein Acryla Gouache Pale Aqua
  • Holbein Acryla Gouache Pale Pink
  • Holbein Acryla Gouache Pale Lavender
  • Blick White Gesso
  • Golden Light Molding Paste
  • Charcoal Pencil
  • Platinum Carbon Black Fountain Pen
  • Martha Stewart Floral Stencil
  • Tim Holtz Clippings Stickers

But I sat at my desk the other day and decided to play. It basically began by plopping down some paint on a scrap piece of white cardstock I had left over from a Felicity Jane project. I was chatting with my friend on the phone while applying the paint and molding paste to the page. I ended up working on two separate spreads that day, as I used the left over molding paste to finish up a spread I had previously worked on.

For the main spread I was creating, I cut little scallop bits from different pattern papers I had and collaged them on top of each other so that they create a mountain effect of sorts. I’ve done this technique in the past and it’s always a good one to go to when you don’t quite know what to create.

Since I still had a messy art desk the next day, I sat down and created another spread. I honestly don’t ever know what I’m going to create before hand. I mean, sometimes I have an idea, but I prefer to let my pages form organically. It’s the same way I like to scrap. I like my pages to take shape on their own in the moment.

This spread I really had no clue what I was doing. I just really wanted to use up the rest of the stickers I had on this one Lace & Whimsy sticker sheet. It had this lovely sticker of a cottage that I wanted to include. So did a funky little layer cluster with it, but not before I lathered my page with this bright minty teal green paint that I love.

Supplies I Used:

  • Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Paint Light Phthalo Green
  • Blick White Gesso
  • Lace & Whimsy Sticker Sheet

This spread definitely consists of a random assortment of bits. I ended up painting the entire right page with that green paint. That page was just a piece of white cardstock with a bit of embossing at the top. I ended up layering the prologue to Romeo & Juliet on that page along with some other papers and a mini white doily. Then I used a header I cut from a Daphne’s Diary to write out “Head over heals in love with.”

This spread came out rather quickly considering. Definitely check out the process below. I hope you enjoy.

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
