A while ago I took an art journal course by the lovely Elsie and Rachel at Red Velvet Art called "Tell Your Story". I have taken at least six of their courses on different topics and LOVED every one of them! So much fun! This was definitely one of my favorites. I had never created an actual art journal before though I have always loved scrapbooking and collaging. It was such a wonderful experience and something that I will continue to do for a long time.
Shame on me for not sharing it sooner. Better late than never though right? Here's a peek into my little journal:
(I think I did like four of these things. It was a super busy summer.)
I hope you all enjoyed a look at my art journal. It's a really wonderful way for creative people to get out some feelings or just make something pretty to remember a moment. Plus it's a lot quicker and less perfect than a scrapbook which I like. You can use all sorts of materials. It's just whatever you are feeling in that moment. If you haven't done it I encourage you to try it. And if you do please share! I'd love to see!
You can find the current e-courses the Red Velvet is offering here. They really are AWESOME!!

Your art journal is BEAUTIFUL. I'm currently making a scrapbook and got some little inspiring tips from this blog! :) Thank you for sharing!
This is beautiful and I LOVE your blog. I discovered you via Offbeat Mama. Your "about me" page makes me think that we were separated at birth!
Your photos are gorgeous. I wish you lived closer so we could afford to hire you!
I heard a saying yesterday, something along the lines of "Days last forever. Years fly by and one day you turn around and ask yourself 'Where did Kindergarten year go?'" I hear a lot of wishing you'd spent more time on things that give you pleasure (toes in the sand, getting lost in a book), make sure to do at least one thing just for you every day, and I think a journal / scrapbook like this is a great way to keep the memories alive!
