my greek remains of the day junk journal

November 12, 2013

If there’s one thing you need to know about me is that I love to make things. In the past year, art and crafts has become a mode of therapy of sorts for me. I’m always searching different lifestyle or scrapbooking blogs for what’s new or what other people are doing that is sort of scrapbooking, but just a different take on it. I personally don’t really scrapbook the traditional 12×12 layouts and such. It’s not my style. I’ve so far experimented with Smashbooks, art journals, and Project Life. They were all fun, but I’m still not sure which style of journaling I’m comfortable with. But there are some amazingly creative people out there in the world and I’m perfectly content with trying different styles to see what I like, what I don’t like and take all those different pieces of style to create my own.

My search brought me to Mary Ann Moss. She’s the lovely woman behind Dispatch From LA and this AMAZING CLASS Remains of the Day. Mary Ann uses scraps of fabric and paper to construct these amazing one-of-a-kind journals. I’d been eyeballing this class for a really long time. I would have taken the class much sooner if I had a sewing machine. Alas, I didn’t have one and I really couldn’t afford to buy one just for this one class. But, my very good friend John lent me his and so I purchased the class and spent a week making my first journal!

I would like to mention now that this class is worth every penny spent. Mary Ann provides a three-part pdf that goes step by step on how to make these journals. Each part is accompanied by a series of instructional videos, where she demonstrates the steps she outlined in the pdf. There are about 29 videos to watch in total. It’s very generous and there’s a lot of little tidbit things that she shows us to make, like small envelope pockets and windows. Her instructions are very clear and concise and you’ll have enough material to keep you busy for weeks. It’s a go-at-your-own-pace sort of class, so you can download the pdfs and visit the class site to watch the videos at your leisure.

I ended up making so many pages on my first go that I used half of it for my greek-styled journal and saved the other half for another journal. Here’s a small video of my greek Remains of the Day journal. Enjoy.

My current journal stack. I think I might film an My current journal stack.

I think I might film an updated “My Current Journals” video just to share them all. I’ve got a few that I don’t think I’ve ever shared before.

It's really amazing to see how much my journaling has changed since I actively started creating and sharing. I'm very much about THE WORDS lately, but I've been itching to begin a journal just about THE ART. 

I treated myself to some new art supplies this past weekend. I'm hoping I can carve out some time to create art again just as I've been creating the time to write it all out.

Maybe I'll have a new art journal to share soon... xx

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Full flip-through of this art journal is up on my Youtube channel. Link in bio. xx
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
