A Little Play In Your Day!

This journal is becoming my most favorite possession! Here we have a two page spread.

One time I will spend an hour or so just painting the pages in my journal...and other times...hunting down images that spark my interest. Even though the page is already painted...I will find myself adding more paint here and there or entirely painting over the whole page! Why? Oh I don't know.....(you should know the answer to this one) Everybody say it with me...."BECAUSE I CAN"!  LOL 

At the bottom of this first page is a background I had done awhile back and scanned it in and printed it out and rip shred tear and Voila! I have a border! hehe Cough! Yup thats my hand in the lower left corner with a little play on words doodle.

Next page! Oh now this photo is a bit on the bright side! Lawdy hell fire! Don't need any coffee this morning with that shinning in your eyes! Weeeeeeeee! And I am sure your eye was drawn right to that little white piece of paper in which I have a rather primitive doodle on it. It was a moment! What can I say!

Let me start off with... you have to check out Lia's http://www.artjunk.typepad.com Top 7 reasons why YOU haven't started your art journal! A must read! Lia really puts me in stitches with a few of her comments! A silly nut she is! :)

I believe that art journaling not only helps you focus but also helps you grow as an individual and an artist.

I've been drawn more and more now to vintage wallpaper! Ask me why...g-head...I will simply reply with...."I really don't know" but lately patterned paper is "my thing". Ooooo dare I say it......(I just know I am going to get a rash for it) Pink paper! There it is said! I don't know what it is about pink paper....to me it says, "Hello over here! (with batting eyelashes) Oh by the way I do that pretty well...just ask my DH hehehe. Pink is flirtatious...me? flirt? nawww surely not I. ;) Heck I don't even lie very well! lol There's always that gleam in my eye that says, "I'm just teasing ya"...can't help myself! hehe I'm an obnoxious brat(psst don't tell my DH this, he will gladly tell you, "That's an understatement") is what I am! I will jump at any chance to be silly.

And with that..I have a pretty pretty for all of you...Here you go! A background for you to use in your JOURNAL! Just save and print!!! If you have any trouble with it printing correctly...Just let me know! If it prints well...please send me a link to show me how you used it! Thanks! 

Over and out! Happy Creating!

You are such a nut! :) I love pink, too. I love art journaling. The actual journaling part allows me to work though a lot of things. I will often do the designing of the pages and work on those for a while and then put the journaling in when I am ready. The writing part stays private, but the whole process is AWESOME! You do a great job of encouraging all of us to journal. xoxo, fran
