September is my month off from S4H, so I don't have a design team project of my own to share with you this time. Instead, as I always do when I have a month off, I want to share with you a few of my latest art journal pages.
I was thinking recently about the different ways that people use art journals. Do you keep an art journal? If so, how do you use it? Do you write your thoughts in it, like this...?
Or do you just use it as a place to experiment and practice techniques, like this...?
Or do you just have fun with it, like this...?
Supplies: all paper & stickers from Bo Bunny; pens from Zig. |
The turkey page has a fold-out flap, which reveals journaling and a second photo (see below).

So, how do you use your art journal? I look forward to hearing from all of you art journalers out there!
Whether you are an art journaler, a card maker, an altered artist, or a scrapbooker, if you make something that includes a pop tab [soda can clip] this month, don't forget to upload it to Scrap for Help!
P.S. These art journal pages are green because: they use older stash (the Bo Bunny papers & stickers), recycled tickets, and fabric & a button from old clothing.

Denise thank you for your congratulations about my page for The Color Room. I'm very busy this month, ihaven't enough time for scrapbboking!!!!
I love each of these pages!! All of them are so fun! I use my journal for all sorts of things, too, and I actually have 3-4 different journals going right now. One for experiments, one for birds, one for gratitude, and another for whatever :)
I love your fun pages...keeping it light hearted.
Cool work they are great pages and fun to see/read.

These are lovely! I love all the bits and pieces - and the pop tabs!! There is so much creativity here - and THAT is what I try to do in my journals. I have several - don't often finish one - and really I like to either experiment with them (new techniques, etc) OR make them pretty books, which means I don't really use them as a free journal. I love the idea of doing more of it and on a regular basis though.
Thank you too for your thoughts on homeschooling. It's all so new but so far I'm loving it. AND yes, we are doing a year of dinosaurs. She can school me on that subject too! xoxo
Fun pages, especially the one that opens up for even more scrapping space! I used to use pop tabs for ribbon slides when I did scrapping. My granddaughter thought that was the coolest thing! You can spray paint them to match too, or even color with permanent markers :)
^ Great ideas, Carol! Thank you!!!
What a fun post, Denise! I loved seeing all of your amazing pages! You are so creative, my friend!
Your art journal is so much fun, Denise! I don't keep one, but I do have an "inspiration" journal with layout ideas, titles, sketches, etc.
Your art journal is super Denise and good on you for keeping up with it! I keep thinking I must start one, but really don't know if I willo be able to keep it up! Love that you journal your thoughts as well....fabulous!
