it has been a while since i published some pictures of my art journal. now, i have to admit that i have not been very good about working in it. it seems to fall to the bottom of my to do list when things get hectic or stressful.
but, i am trying to restart with renewed vigor! *disclaimer* these are all works in progress and shouldn’t be considered finished pieces.










You do have your work cut out for you…and delightful work it is!

Fabulous. I keep wanting to say, “I like that one best!” The problem is that it applies to all of them!
oh my gosh, thank you!
I am so impressed with your art work, journal and photos! I really need to learn how to download mine and post them too.
download your pictures? or your journals? since my sketchbook is so big is so big i can’t scan it as i hoped. can’t wait to see your artwork!
great work phrogmom
so many words! art journalling is a fantastic medium when used the way you do.
Love your art journal it;s so fun. You are so clever and creative. Your artistic talents & heart shine through. 🙂 The envelope is adorable. 🙂
Fabulous work and it looks like a lot of fun too!
Very artistic and unique. 🙂
They are absolutely gorgeous! Love what you’re working on! And thanks for signing up to Art Journal Every Day in May!
thanks! i admit to somewhat slacking, but i am trying to keep at it!!
I love how you are using photos on your journal pages. I haven’t been doing that….waiting for some sort of Pogo printer to make it more convenient. But really there’s no reason I couldn’t just print them out on regular paper to incorporate them. I think you are inspiring me here!! I like how you use the envelope windows as a picture frame. I’ve been saving some of those on business envelopes I get in the mail. This gives me an idea of what to do with them!
just be aware that inkjet prints are not water proof! so if you plan to paint over them, or under them (ie on the next page) you might need to seal it some how? that is one good thing about the envelopes….i take a bazillion pictures and realize i am never going to get them all scrapbooked or framed, so i have started using them in my journal!
thank you for your feedback!!
