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.)
(this is my favorite page. The left page is an actual tissue and I made a little pocket with the tissue for a secret note. )(I never got the tatoo. I got a beautiful baby boy on the way instead!)
A not-so happy one. The only one in the journal. Don't worry it was just a bad day. Making this definitely made me feel better though.
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!
