I finally cracked open my “Secret Garden” art journal. This is the art journal I’m going to use for the entire year (unless I fill it up sooner of course). It’s an altered book art journal I made from an old copy of The Secret Garden I found some time ago in the outside $2 shelves at Strands. I know in my Creative Intentions post, I said I was going…

I’m so excited to announce that I’m going to be on the Get Messy Art Journal creative team for 2018! We’ve all known for a bit now and it’s so exciting to finally tell everyone! I’m so happy and grateful to be apart of this team with these awesome ladies! I can’t wait for the new year to begin so we can all share our knowledge and talents with you…

Naturally, I’m so behind on Get Messy Season of Fairytales. The season is basically over and I’m just posting week four’s spreads. Though to be fair, I was away for three weeks during the season and these next few pages I’m about to share are the last few I created in my art journal. I’m not sure if I’ll continue with week five and six prompts, or end it here,…

I am officially State-side! And if you’ve been following me over on Instagram, you’ll know that I promised you a late Get Messy Season of Fairytales Week Three recap on the blog when I get back. Well, here it is. I absolutely love how these pages turned out! I love how they look yes, but I really love that I created these pages while I was traveling. I’ve never really…

So even though I’m currently traveling through Europe, I wanted to share with you the two spreads I managed to complete for week two of Get Messy Season of Fairytales! I managed to film the process of both of these spreads before I left for you all to enjoy. and she never once took the crown from her head This first spread was inspired mostly by the model image I…

I’m coming at you today with some more Get Messy Art Journal fun! I honestly haven’t participated in a season in a very long time, but Season of Fairytales just seems so wonderful and magical (plus when I return from my trip to Europe in September, I’m determined to go through all of the seasons I missed and more). So why not start with this season as it’s beginning? For…

Is it bad that I love the theme for this new season of Get Messy but am uninspired by the prompts? Not that I create my pages exactly as the prompts say, cause I rarely ever do that. But I do create my pages with the prompts in mind. They often guide me in my thought process–as prompts should–so my pages end up being inspired by them. But this week’s…

It’s a new season of Get Messy and I’ve organized my life in order to participate this round. This new season is the Season of Dreams and it intrigued me so much that I just knew I should try to participate. I always seem to miss out on the really good seasons because of my traveling. If didn’t know, I started with Get Messy Season of Words and right before…
