Day 3 of the #joyfulartjournalingjune: collage! Th Day 3 of the #joyfulartjournalingjune: collage! There are bits and pieces of this one that I like more than others, but overall, it still makes me smile. :) Also, I’m working in different journals and altered books. I know some people have one journal they’re using for the whole month. Which way are you playing along?
I decided to honor #blackouttuesday yesterday and I decided to honor #blackouttuesday yesterday and not post my day two spreads for #joyfulartjournalingjune I decided to create these black and white floral line drawings for the day’s theme.

Day One: Joy! Fun fact: when I was a teenager, I w Day One: Joy! Fun fact: when I was a teenager, I was obsessed with Marilyn Monroe. From about 14-17 I had her posters all over my walls, pins of her in my Jean jacket, books about her life, books of photographs of her... and more. Even though I knew much of her life was sad, she brought me so much joy! #joyfulartjournalingjune
I'm SUPER excited to share this June Art Journal C I'm SUPER excited to share this June Art Journal Challenge with you! Let's face it: the world is feeling PRETTY HEAVY right now. But I still believe in art... and joy! Which is why I'm hosting this 30 day art journal challenge in June. If you need some art + optimism in your life right now (who doesn't?!) I'm hoping this is the perfect answer for you. I've explained the whole idea in detail on my blog (visit https://joyfulartjournaling.com/30-day-art-journal-challenge-june-2020/ or go to the link in my bio) but basically the idea is this: With the theme of "joy" in mind, we'll use each day's prompt from this list to create a new art journal spread. I want this to be low pressure and FUN! Do it daily, or just once a week... or just pick your favorite prompts and do those. Whatever fits into your life right now. And be sure to use #joyfulartjournalingjune and tag me @joyfulartjournaling so we can see what you're making! I really am excited about this... and I hope you are, too! And feel free to invite your friends! I've included several versions of this list, so you can easily share it in your own feed, with just the right color! 😉 The more people know about it, the more JOY we can spread in this much needed time! Love to you all, jules
