Get Messy-Grateful

Hello there! So this is a really late post! Today, I am going to share my pages for the Get Messy Art Journal Challenge. This month's prompt was: Grateful. There was an art and a journal challenge and we had to incorporate gratitude in both of the challenges.

The art challenge was to use visual examples for at least three things you're grateful for. The journaling challenge: What are you grateful for? What aspects of your life are you thankful for, that you might be overlooking while being busy?

I had some bad lighting when I took these pictures, but they look so much better in person. I loved using some glitter glue and stickers this week. The doodles and letters didn't come out perfect, but I love the colors. I have been using up a lot of my stash up in my art journal and in other projects so that I don't keep buying new things. I'm really glad that I purchased those stickers. I have been hoarding them and just waiting for the perfect project to use them on.

Until next time...

Get Messy Art Journal-Disney

Hello! It's been a really busy day today so this is why I'm posting kind of late. After such a busy day, I took a nap and then decided to work in my art journal.

I've been obsessing about Disney lately (the Disney World trip that we took in May definitely has fueled my obsession) so I decided to express that in my art journal.

I love, love, love washi tape! I love how it can make pages pop and how you can just use washi tape to decorate.

I used a Heidi Swapp stencil from the patterns pack and some more washi tape. I also used some Sharpie paint markers for the first time. I kind of messed up on one of the circles, but it's ok I guess. I just have to remind myself that it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect especially when it's a product that I am using for the first time.

Until next time...

Get Messy Art Journal- I Love Fall

Hello! Hello! Today I am going to share my first Get Messy Art Journal Challenge. I'm really glad that I found out about this challenge and have signed up to be put on their wait list. This challenge really looks like it will be fun.

Since Fall is here and I am loving it, I decided to express that in my art journal.

I was inspired by Elizabeth Rosemond's post. I have been waiting to use my Recollections leave embellishments for the perfect project and this project was perfect. I simply layered and piled the leaves. Then I wrote "Oh Fall, How I Love Thee". I love the colors of the leaves and they are just perfect.

I stamped "i love fall" over and over again. I used some alphabet stamps that I found at Walmart and some ink from Michaels. I usually try to make everything perfect, but decided that I shouldn't worry about perfection in my art journal.

Until next time....
