Thought I would share with you all! When I first saw all the art journalling techniques, I thought ... "that's not for me."
But I kept looking at them. And the pages. So amazing. I realized that what inspired me about them is that they would be so totally out of the box for me to do. When I first started scrapbooking my style was really boxy and linear. Very simple. Then I disccovered digital scrapping and branched out into adding elements and layering to my pages. I had a co-worker awhile back that did collage it was goopy, messy, and things everywhere. I could never do that. Not me. But, you know, to grow as an artist you have to try new things? New mediums, new styles? That why I love challenges so much because they help me break out of a rut. And this art journalling was just that, messy, real life, more expressive, speak your mind, kind-of-stuff. So here's my first goopy, messy shot at it. ![]() Thanks for inspiring me! ![]()

Kristi that is fabulous! Art journalling is something I really struggle with too. I like the cleaner, linear style, but now and then I'll get brave and have a go. It's totally something I'm not comfortable with though.

You did an awesome job Kristy! I am very linear and I have the same reservations... I'm not there yet, but I hope to be at some point!
This is me... I so want to give it a try, but my brain keeps freaking out - LOL |

I love your page! I love looking at everyones art journaling pages. Im not there yet either. I have reservations about it. However, I will say that about 2 weeks ago I was really angry, I had already just started on a regular layout very early that morning and had it up on my screen all day.... when I came home angry I sat at my desk to just avoid everyone for awhile so that I didn't take it out on them.... my regular ol layout got 'destroyed' as it quickly became an angry art journaling page with paint and stuff thrown everywhere. I can't even tell you how fun it was and how incredibly calming it was for me. 4 hours later, I left my desk and my page was up on my screen... my husband walked by and it was up on the screen and he said "oh my, you're not kidding, you were really angry! thank goodness you spared us all of that" .. LOLOL!!!

That looks great, good for you for going outside your comfort area. Part of my hang up is covering up all the journaling. I get the purpose of it but I want to be able to see the story so I can look back and reflect. Although I don't have a problem throwing everything and the kitchen sink at a layout

Awesome job!!! It is fun to do an artsy messy page once in awhile. You might even find it more linear in some ways than... well, boxes.

I share all the journaling. I don't think any of it is too much for you all, for my IRL friends, yeah, way too much.

Thanks gals! It felt really good to try something new! And Laura--so awesome that the art journalling helped you work through a process. That's just marvelous.
Looking forward to more fun creative art journalling items!

I've been reading along with Traci's series Art Journaling 101 to try to figure it all out. I am such a control freak, the thought of not having a neat, orderly process is hard for me. But I did have fun creating backgrounds with Krystal's Mixed Media Mash Up and Brushes this past week, so I want to learn more. The journaling is the easy part for me, the rest of it is what is hard.
Great layout Kristi! ![]()
