I played around in my Unraveling journal recently. I had the urge just to play around with bits of scrap papers that I had pulled out to use in this journal. Since it’s my one little word journal of sorts, I want to keep the journal looking cohesive and themed. Since my word is bloom, I want to fill my journal with pastels and nature motifs. So all of the…
It’s a new season of Get Messy. With this new season, Caylee and Lauren launched a brand new website and a new thing called Get Messy Bootcamp. Bootcamp is essentially a way for you to jumpstart your creativity. The prompts/ideas shared during bootcamp are super simple and are really there to help you get creating in your journals. For the first prompt, Caylee asked us to introduce ourselves to our…
For this new spread in my unraveling journal, I’ve decided to jot down my affirmations for the year–or at least a few things I’d like to take action on this year. I feel like these particular affirmations really compliment by word–and supporting words–for the year. I really wanted to get them into this journal in a very bold way so that they always stand out whenever I flip open my journal. If…
I’m beginning my unraveling journal with documenting the word BLOOM, my one little word for the year. I really wanted my word to be front and center, so that I’m reminded of it every time I open up this journal. Like I mentioned in my previous post, I want BLOOM to be my guide this year. I also wanted to get down a few things I wrote in my copy…
I know what you may be thinking, “what is an unraveling journal?” Short answer: My unraveling journal is going to be my personal creative place where I document my journey of self discovery through writing, photos, and art. Long answer: Some years ago–I think is was 2015–I purchased an ecourse from the lovely Susannah Conway called Unraveling: Ways of Seeing Yourself. She no longer offers it for sale, but I’ve…
I finally have my new collection of fabric journals complete! I’ve been working on these beauties since the summer, and along with some handmade vintage-style paperclips and new sticker sheets, they will be up in my shop tomorrow around 5pm EST. This new collection is The Shabby Journal collection. This particular journal launch consists of seven handmade fabric journals, an assortment of handmade vintage-style paperclips, and seven 4×6 sheets of…
Today I present to you the making of my Season of Kindness journal. I decided (a bit last minute really) to create a separate art journal for the new Get Messy Art Journal Season of Kindness. And since I was making a new journal, I decided to document my process to share with you all. So this is a four part video series on my Youtube channel that follows my…
With the completion of another trip comes a brand new travel journal filled to the brim with memories and journaling. My latest Eurotrip 2017 travel journal is complete! This was by far the fastest journal I’ve ever completed. Honestly, doing the bulk of the work each day while traveling is just so wonderful. Because I come home every time with a completed book memories. There’s just something so satisfying about…
Have you ever found yourself in a creative rut of sorts? Like, you’re tired of creating the same sorts of things and want to try something new? Or it could be that your process isn’t working for you anymore–it happens–and you’re at a lost at what to do next? I’m currently in one of these ruts. I feel like all of last year, I established a creative process that kind…
Hey friends! I’m here with another traveler’s notebook project using the February Hip Kits! For this one though, I decided to make these two “junk” journals for my A6 traveler’s notebook to use as personal journals and/or art journals. I just wanted a cute journal to document my everyday that wouldn’t involve too much work in order to document. I figure having a sound base already done would be great, so…
Ever since I got into scrapbooking, I always make sure to scrap my trips. Before, I would always take a journal with me on those trips, but I was never really conscious about using them. To be quite honest, I’d forget about them and simply take hundreds of photos instead, then maybe document my trip from memory once I got back home. But since becoming a scrapbooker, I’ve gotten much better at…
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…
