My Art Journal

I have a brain that is always on the go. I bounce from one thing to another inside my head, and often forget the things I want to remember. I will see magazine clippings that inspire me, or hear lyrics to a song, or even read about a recipe that is to die for, and they will all be lost inside the clutter in my head. As a result of my scattered brain, I finally made myself a solution! An Art Journal! This little book will soon be filled with my thoughts, inspiring quotes and pictures, and pretty much anything that inspires me or leaves me in awe.

If you can relate to the struggle of the crafty brain, you would benefit from your own journal!
Here is what I did:
-Take a spiral notebook
-Cover it in decorative papers, paint, etc, whatever you want your background to be
-I used modpodge and scrapbook paper and made a quilt like design
-I then added embellishments. Go crazy! This is a representation of your brain!!! On my own, I glued on mirror tiles, ribbons, chipboard, pearls, and a tad bit of glitter!
-Repeat steps on back cover if desired


From there, you can release your creative juices on paper. If it moves you put it in!!! If a random quote pops up in your head, write it down!!! Do not let anything that moves you go to waste! I will keep updating as I create the inside!
