the book of me: introduction pages

July 19, 2018
the book of me: introduction pages

Hello friends! I’m back with a few new pages in my Book of Me project. I decided to film the creation of my introduction pages to share with you all today. I sort of mixed and matched the prompts from 30 Days of Me and 52 Weeks of Me, and decided that my first spread would be an introduction to myself. But before I did that, I created another cover page of sorts. I had a page that had a bit of writing on it that I wanted to cover, so I covered it with this beautiful vintage floral paper from the Crate Paper Oh Darling collection. I added a doily then in Felicity Jane puffy alphas wrote “The Book of Me.”

For my first official spread, I introduced myself. On the left page, I collaged a photo of myself with some lovely bits from the Oh Darling collection. I had wrapped the white doily I used on the cover page around to the opposite page instead of cutting it, so I worked with placing my photo cluster around that. I framed my photo using a die cut frame from Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Party collection. Before I adhered my photo cluster to my page though, I ran it through my sewing machine to sew down all of the embellishments. That “Hello” piece is one of the elements from the Maggie Holmes Bloom digital collection that I simply printed on vellum and fussy cut out. I love the but of translucency it has being on vellum.

The next page I used a tag and a journal card from the Oh Darling collection to write out my journaling. I made sure to layer a bunch of fun bits from the collection around it to fill out the page. I tucked a small white doily behind them, adding a floral die cut behind it and a floral sticker on top. I used of the little girls from the collection to frame the Hello card, adding my title “This Is Me” to the bottom left with some black and off-white mini alpha stickers. I embellished the page with a few little puffy stickers as well.

These very simple pages took me a bit to complete, so here’s another long process video of the entire thing. I do hope you enjoy!

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
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
