It’s kind of hard to believe that I’ve already been art journaling for an entire month! And although I’ve never art journaled prior to this, I’m thoroughly enjoying the entire process. Considering the fact that I don’t do much traditional scrapbooking anymore, I really like how art journaling gives me a different creative outlet to experiment and have fun.
Have less. Do more.
Another thing I love about art journaling is that it gives me a place to use all the pretty paper I collect but have no idea where to put. Take this Ferragamo ad, for example. I loved the shoes but would have had no where to put it, if not for my wonderful art journal. Somewhat ironically, I intentionally paired the ad with the “Have less. Do more.” quote as part of the reminder to have less stuff.
Spectacle.
I like how October is starting out.
Get Messy is an art journal challenge where a gang of crafty vixens are sharing art journal pages we have created to practise our skills and push past our creative limits with hopes to inspire. We share our pages without restraint every week, and once a month we create around a prompt. Go check out these crazy talented ladies who are creating pages who each have a unique perspective and style. We will be sharing our work around social media so follow the hashtag #getmessyartjournal.
I love these pages, keeping it simple is really hard to do but you make it look easy! 🙂 xo
Thank you, Julia! I try not to over-complicate things even when I want to!
“Another thing I love about art journaling is that it gives me a place to use all the pretty paper I collect but have no idea where to put”. How funny! I just commented the same basic thought on another blog! Art Journaling is not only fun but a great way to use your stash (and dare I say make room for more? LOL)! Love both pages so much!! They look great together and on their own!
Well, I’ll say “great minds think alike” to that (: thanks for stopping by, Doreen!
Your pages remind me of what Caylee was talking about recently with the create more, consume less attitude. It’s such an important lifestyle to embody, and you captured it beautifully in your journal.
Uncustomary Art.
Thank you for your sweet comment, Mary. I always need the reminder that simple can definitely be a good thing, especially in today’s times.
such great pages Amelia! I really love them
Thank you, Andrea! So appreciate your encouragement each week (:
These pages are awesome! Love those spectacle stamps!
Thank you, Amanda. I love those stamps too but I need to use them more!
I absolutely love the simplicity of both pages!
These are beautiful! the simplicity is amazing!
Love these beautiful simple pages from last week.
