Our new line of Modern Aesthetic Lined Journals!
While the bulk of what I write about here is art journaling, I also do some more “traditional” journaling (ie., writing down thoughts, feelings, bits of my days, gratitude lists, etc.) But when I realized a lot of other art journalers also love to journal in more traditional ways, too, I started dreaming up how […]

Collage in Art Journals

Free Flower Vintage Printables – and examples for how to use them!
Awhile back I gave away some free animal vintage ephemera for you to print and use in your own journals. It was such a hot, I thought I’d do it again, this time with some free flower vintage printables! (And of course, I’ll show you how I used them in my own art journals, too!) […]
