I’ve been making more progress on my little art journal, made from an eco-notebook I got at Barnes and Noble months ago. The paper itself is graph paper, but I’ve basically made every page a new collage with room to write notes, quotes, and thoughts in. The journal on the left is my regular writing journal.
Here I used vintage book pages, magazines, tape, stickers, lined paper, part of an envelope from mail I received, and scrapbook paper.
I just write anywhere I find space.
On this page I added different tapes and papers, like kraft cardstock.
I love to do this when I’m stressed out (and when I’m feeling creative, or bored, or don’t know what to do with all my paper) because it’s relatively mindless and I can just sit and not think about anything but how I’m going to arrange everything on the canvas. I haven’t finished these last pages.
Sometimes I just want to make the collage, and others I feel like brainstorming ideas for stories or creative writing, or quotes I keep referring to.
If you have a lot of extra material laying around with no purpose — I only bought the notebook — I’d suggest putting it all together in something like this.
that is one stunning journall. lovely(:

Beautiful! You’re so creative!
two of my favorite things!
everything looks so pretty and creative!
What a cool idea. I carry around an all-purpose notebook that houses my to do list and random notes to myself, but yours is much prettier. 🙂
Art journaling is so fun! I love that it mixes basic journaling with scrapbooking 🙂
Beautiful! I’ve been thinking of doing one too.
So beautiful and fun..very creative idea:)
