Hey Lovelies! So I’ve officially abandoned my Get Messy Season of Steven art journal. I don’t know what it was, but I just couldn’t get into it. I created one spread and that was that. I think I wasn’t officially over the Season of Bloom yet. Actually, my plan was to work in both journals simultaneously, but for some reason I struggle with working in two different art journals at…

and then we thrive | journal with me ✩ 45
Read moreHey Lovelies! I’m very late at sharing this spread I created in my Get Messy Season of Steven art journal. I challenged myself to create an art journal spread using the Felicity Jane Gabby kit, because scrapbooking kits can be used all sorts of ways, not just for scrapbooking. But I got very mixed media with it, using some of my favorite art supplies, some which I hadn’t used in awhile.…

paper is forgiving | journal with me ✩ 44
Read moreHey Lovelies! I’ve got another journal spread in my artist in bloom journal for the Get Messy Season of Bloom that I want to share. This one was quite a process to create. If there is one thing I’ve learned through art journaling, it’s that paper is quite forgiving. Sure it’s rather delicate too and can easily tear, but the magic of it is that you can always add something to…

lavender fields | journal with me ✩ 43
Read moreHey Lovelies! I just wanted to pop in a share two journal spreads I created in my artist in bloom journal for the Get Messy Season of Bloom. I sat down this past weekend and worked on a few pages, filmed some journal with me videos and just made a huge mess on my desk. And I enjoyed all of it! This first spread was one that I repurposed from…

my artist in bloom journal | journal with me ✩ 42
Read moreLovelies! I’ve been journaling again! This month began the brand new season of Get Messy and it’s the Season of Bloom. If you recall, this was my OLW last year and my extension word for Flourish for this year, so I of course had to dive into this new season. This season is all about returning to yourself, which I thought was serendipitous as I was just beginning my new journey…

introduction in my daybook of dreams | journal with me ✩ 41
Read moreHello lovelies. It’s been a looong time since I’ve shared a journal with me. To be entirely honest, I haven’t been motivated much to journal. Scrapbook yes, journal no. I often find when I have no motivation to journal or if I’m lost as to what to journal, I start a new journal and create the introduction page. These pages are always so simple to make and often get me…

geoscrapping 2.0 is here!
Read moreGeoscrapping is back! My first ever online class got a complete overhaul. I’ve been diligently working on this revamp for a while now (since last December, right before my recent January 2020 trip), and I wanted to get it out to you in April, but that deadline fell away fast with the unexpected change of events. It also didn’t feel right relaunching a class about travel journaling when none of…

hope is a light in the heart | journal with me ✩ 40
Read moreHello lovelies. I do hope you are all doing well. It’s some crazy times we’re living in right now and I pray you are all coping well. I’ve been struggling a lot with my anxiety. I’m fine in terms of being home. I’m an introvert and being home is where I’m at 85% of the time, so no struggle there! But I’m prone to excessive worry and I can dig…

my france + belgium 2020 travel journal
Read moreIt’s so nice to come home with an entire travel journal already finished! Mind you, I did have to finish up a bit of journaling when I got home, but for the most part, the entire journal was done while traveling! And I think this is my favorite travel journal yet. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I used a scrapbook collection, instead of…

france + belgium 2020 travel journal setup
Read moreI want to share with you my France and Belgium 2020 travel journal setup. I created a fabric cover junk journal–much like my unraveling journal–using the Maggie Holmes Heritage collection. I also used various vintage papers from my stash, as well as my Postcards from Paris printable. The cover was made using a white embroidered linen. I added some colorful flower embroidery to give it a bit more interest as…

my one little word | journal with me ✩ 39
Read moreFor the first spread in my unraveling journal this year, I documented my One Little Word–with four supporting words–and how they all relate to the intentions I’ve set for myself. For this spread, I used my new January printable, In Harmony. It happened to go really well with this floral pattern paper from Maggie Holmes’ Bloom collection. I threw in the black and white swan piece from my March 2019…

reflections on 2019 | journal with me ✩ 38
Read moreBefore I jump into 2020 in my unraveling journal, I wanted to wrap up 2019 with a reflections entry. I wanted to reflect back on my year and jot down some thoughts on what I’ve learned about myself. I decided to use the remaining bits of my December Winter Cottage printable for this spread, seeing how I I haven’t used it in this journal yet. Seeing bits from each of…
