Hi everyone! a little something different to share today. I created this page using theJanuary KOM - Carpe Diem from Flying Unicorn. January has been a really fun month on the forums, and we introduced the new Art Journaling Challenge. For me, and for many others, this is a new thing. I, for one, have never done any sort of art journaling, and do not at this time own a journal that can be used for it. But I was SO inspired by all of our members, and the CT who are having fun with the free play that art journaling has to offer. I decided to take that inspiration, and translate it into a layout! So, I got out my KOM, mostly the scraps, and set to work...layering, masking, painting, misting, doodling, piling, smooshing...and here is what I got!
 |
Approaching a layout from this perspective was so freeing! I had no particular design or outcome in mind, I just went to work! No title? No problem! And while this may not be my favorite or the most beautiful page, it was definitely a lot of fun!! Check out the close ups.. |
I really love the Studio Calico mask that came in the kit, and used it all over this page.
Here and there you will see some hole punch- circles that I scattered throughout my background for great texture.
I am now totally inspired to try my hand at art journaling, once I can make some time, and buy a journal!! I encourage you to do the same. Making a big mess and just trying new things can really open up a lot of doors, creatively..
Thanks for stopping by today!!

Gorgeous work! I love playing in my Art-journals! But you don´t have to buy one. Just use an old book. Take out some of the pages and use gesso or multimedium to glue 2-3 together and start to play! Hugs!
OK, I really really want to run into my craft space and put paint to paper b/c of this LO...inspiring! You have a fabulous eye for design!
Fantastic design Kelly. Love it. It flows!!!

Kelly the mixed media is so much fun and so different to the way we usually scrap, this one looks truly amazing. I love all the little embellies, like the little clock near the 'today tomorrow & someday' title.

Ohh Kelly, your page is fabulous! I love how you combined mixed media into your layout. It is totally freeing! I just started Art Journaling and I call it my "creative freedom" time. I just picked up an art journal at my local craft store and started to play! I can't wait to see what you create! Your so fabulously talented!! And..thanks so much for the sweet comment and for visiting my blog, I so appreciate it. Have a wonderful day!

Fantastic work! I´ve only tried doing LO:s, like you, and its really fun! Now I want to hit my soon-to-by-art-journaling-object (an old babybook) and cover it with paint and other stuff! I still dont know what to write in it, but maybe that´ll come once I get started :)
