Happy Monday everyone! This is another spread I ma Happy Monday everyone! This is another spread I made with the free floral printables I shared on my blog last week. (Link in bio.) I scanned the photo of this woman close to 15 years ago, and now I can’t remember for sure if I’m related to her, or if the photo was an estate sale find? I’ll have to go through a box of old family photos to know for sure... but I’m pretty certain she’s my great-grandmother.
Do you like to use vintage florals in your art jou Do you like to use vintage florals in your art journals? Today on my blog I have 3 you can download for free! Plus I share the way I used them, including the spread above! Come check it out! Link in bio or go to www.joyfulartjournaling.com 💕
Confession time: I’m not great at organizing thi Confession time: I’m not great at organizing things! And when you’re an art supply hoarder... I mean when you like having a lot of art supplies to choose from... it can get a bit overwhelming. I also like to either use what I have (like this vintage ironstone dish I store, ahem, some of my washi tape in), or buy something old and cute! Do you have unique ways of storing your supplies?
Today I’ve been feeling antsy... a sort of low l Today I’ve been feeling antsy... a sort of low level anxiety. I know it’s because of my business, which I love and I’m so grateful for! (If you ever want to grow tremendously as a person, become an entrepreneur!) I feel like a trapeze artist, swinging from bar to bar, high up in the sky. I need to let go of one bar in order to reach the next. And while I know I can do it, it’s still really fucking scary! So I’m taking a bit of a breather day, and playing in my journal. And sending love and happy places to you all, too! . . . . . . . . #joyfulartjournaling #artjournalideas #artjournalpages #allshemakes #artjournalcommunity #journaljunkie #visualjournaling #artjournaling #artjournals #artjournal #artjournallove #creativejournaling #stayhomemakecollages #collageart #calledtobecreative #artjournaleveryday #makearteveryday #dsart #thepalepaper #mixedmediajournal #yearofcreativehabits #shepaintstoo #artsyjournal #dailyspread #journalcommunity #artjournalinspiration #dailydoseofpaper #howshecreates #shareyourvibe #getmessyartjournal
I started this spread inspired by a lovely vintage I started this spread inspired by a lovely vintage image of a flower I meticulously cut out... but it just never quite “fit”! But that’s okay. I ended up loving this little weird guy, just as he is. . . . . . . . . #joyfulartjournaling #artjournalideas #artjournalpages #allshemakes #artjournalcommunity #journaljunkie #visualjournaling #art_hub #artjournaling #artjournals #artjournal #artjournallove #creativejournaling #stayhomemakecollages #collageart #doitfortheprocess #calledtobecreative #artjournaleveryday #makearteveryday #dsart #thepalepaper #artsyjournal #dailyspread #journalcommunity #artjournalinspiration #dailydoseofpaper #howshecreates #shareyourvibe #getmessyartjournal
I’m soaking up every minute of this #lazysunday I’m soaking up every minute of this #lazysunday I just added some last minute touches to this art journal spread, and I’m going to go learn a few things about one of my favorite subjects: business! (Is that weird?! Haha!) I hope you all are doing something you love today... something that truly brings you joy!! 💕
If you had to use ONE WORD to describe what art jo If you had to use ONE WORD to describe what art journaling is to you, what would it be? (Please leave it in the comments below!) I’m having a hard time choosing one word, but I think (for me) it would be: cathartic. But I also think of words like: enjoyable, expressive, important, and, of course, joyful!
I can’t believe it’s the last day of #joyfular I can’t believe it’s the last day of #joyfulartjournalingjune! The last prompt was #transparent so for this #artjournalspread I cut a square in two pages, then added this semi-transparent vintage paper (it was originally in a cabinet photo from the early 1900s) with a vintage illustration of a peach (I believe?!) in between the two transparent sheets. I noticed my journal paper needed some support, so I glued down some vintage paper on each side to make it sturdier, then cut the square. I moved my journal as I cut with my exacto knife, so I accidentally put the fruit image upside-down AND backwards! Haha! Oh well... it’s art! I can do whatever I want! ;) I hope you all have had fun and have been inspired by everyone who participated! I know for sure I’ll be hosting another challenge in January... but if you want another one sooner, DM me! 📨
I’m pretty well grounded to begin with, but that I’m pretty well grounded to begin with, but that’s probably because I do meditation regularly, as well as art journaling and pulling oracle cards. If I need more than that, I tend to get out in nature (bare feet on the grass or in the river/lake/ocean always helps!) Or maybe burn some sage or palo santo or candles... what grounds you? #joyfulartjournalingjune
