the art of journaling: create your own adventure

September 28, 2015

sept22b

I’m back with another art journal spread for my The Art of Journaling series here on the blog. With this one I took a more minimalist approach and tried to mimic that style where you use the white space but add hints of color here and there. I centered the entire spread around this die cut from the Inspire Project Life Value Kit, which reads Create your own adventure. When playing around with the various die cuts I have, I knew I wanted to use this one right away, just how I wanted to use it was a bit of a challenge.

Anyway, I used a magazine cutout of text and layered a bit of gesso on top of it to give it a faded look before I whipped out my Heidi Swapp Color Shine sprays in teal blue and bright green to give the spread that pop of color. Next I play around with this stars I had. The two faded  mint ones I found in the Crate Paper Wonder ephemera pack and the other stars are silver foil that a penpal sent me. Once I got those down, then I was able to figure out the placement of my stand out phrase die cut.


This spread was a bit different for me. It wasn’t as busy as my other spreads have been, which made it hard for me to not overwork this one. I had to restrain myself a bit. But I like the way it came out. I love the movement the spray effect gives the page especially with the stars placed how they are. Everything is coming out of the create your own adventure die cut, which only adds to the sense of creating your own adventure. It’s really cool and I hope to play around with this minimalistic approach some more. Be sure to follow the tag #artofjournaling on Instagram for more peaks at my art journal. And enjoy the process video below!

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.

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
