Hey lovelies! I have a brand new video up sharing my favorite go-to scrapbooking supplies. This video was a long time coming. It was requested some time ago and it’s taken me that long to to put it together. I really wanted to put together a concise guide on my favorite supplies–because I know me, I have a tendency to ramble. I think I did a fair job narrowing down…

Read moreHey lovelies! Just wanted to share this a quick video on how to begin journaling. Now while there are many different ways to journal, there are no wrong ways to journal! You just have to choose the type of journaling you like and get started! There are many different types of journaling, but in this video I talk about art journaling, creative journaling and junk journaling. I personally believe all…

This list consists of a mixture of journaling and scrapbooking classes that I’ve personally taken over the years, some of which are no longer available to purchase. But I wanted to share them with you anyway because they…

my reorganized craft space
Read moreI’ve been reconsidering a lot of things this month. I recently went through my entire craft space and purged A LOT of product that no longer brings me any joy or that I know I won’t find myself using anymore. I managed to get about three boxes full of product that I’ll be donating and giving away. There’s something refreshing about going through your stash, rediscovering new favorites and just…

free online art journaling courses + resources
Read moreIt’s kind of amazing how huge art journaling has become in the past few years. I remember discovering it back in 2013, when I found a couple of bloggers posting about their “Summer of Love” art journals. This lead me to Kara Haupt and Natty Malik and the Art Journaling Ning community. I think that now that the scrapbook community has embraced art journaling as its own, more people than…

your stories matter
Read moreI finally made it out to Central Park this spring and it was such a lovely day. I found ALL THE BLOSSOMS! Honestly, I think this was the first time ever that I walked from one end of the park (59th Street) to the other end (110th Street) all in one go. My brother and I walked it this past Tuesday. My intention was to find some blossoms, soak up…

how to begin art journaling
Read moreI began art journaling back in 2012, right around the same time I began scrapbooking. I started out collaging in an old spiral planner I had and experimenting in a thin Moleskin I had. Eventually I found the Ning Art Journaling community and a few art journalers that I liked (unfortunately, none of them have their blogs still up except Natty Malik), but I pretty much just dove right in…

eight of my favorite art journaling classes
Read moreI honestly have been compiling this list for awhile now. Since I share some free art journaling classes and resources, to be exact. I think because so many of these classes are no longer available, I thought what was the point in sharing them, you know? Well, as luck would have it, most of them are currently available, some only for a limited time, so I decided to share with you…

how to make an altered book journal
Read moreSo for the new season of Get Messy Art Journal that was just announced–the Season of Story–I wanted to create my journal in an altered book. Since I didn’t really do an altered book for the Season of Play–which was the suggested journal for the season–I thought it would be fitting for the Season of Story to be in a book (I don’t know why we didn’t do a handmade…

how to begin scrapbooking
Read moreI’ve been scrapbooking and documenting my life for about six years now and the absolute best advice I can give anyone wondering how to begin scrapbooking would be to just start. But that’s with everything in life, isn’t it? And it’s the absolute most hardest part. But even so, there are a few things to consider before you take on a new hobby like scrapbooking. I’ve been in this lovely community…

ways of getting yourself into your scrapbooks
Read moreI have never had any trouble with getting myself into my scrapbooks. To be honest, I have more trouble getting other people into my scrapbooks. And I think that’s because I’m relatively young (compared to the average scrapbooker), single, and have a furbaby instead of a real growing human one. So the majority of my scrapbooking is about me or the dog or the trips to places I’ve been. I’m…
