Here’s the next art journaling page:
For the background, I used mists. Like last week, I sprayed them on a baby wipe, and then rubbed it on my page. Then I glued some music paper and really pretty much built from there. I added more until I decided to stop.
Here are some details:
Here you can see: The map paper went through my border punch. I painted the blue heart using a Crafter’s Workshop stencil and pan pastels. Lots and lots of free form stitching.
Here: a little maya Road blossom, a Pink Paislee ticket, a tiny tag, and a small heart i cut out of map paper. More stitching.
here: you can see the other two hearts i cut out of map paper, the Maya Road heart canvas, Tim Holtz tissue paper. Some bling. Ribbons. And a lot more stitching.
See all that stitching?
And for your viewing pleasure, here’s a little movie, too:
I am creating multiple art journaling pages a week for July and August (and maybe longer). You can read more about it and the book I am using for these pages at the top of this blog post.
I love seeing these pages up close! The addition of stitching really makes them you! What are you going to do with these? I’m picturing a beautiful framed wall collage of all of them. š
no idea what to do yet. they are large-ish. maybe bind them back into a book? got ideas?
Thank you for these and your site. I love looking at your work whether it’s layouts, sketches and now the art journal pages. I’ve just started doing art journal pages and find them fun and freeing. Love the daily inspiration I find here.
thank you so much! i appreciate your kind words!!
Love all of the details- especially the stitching. I look forward to trying spraying mists on a baby wipe and rubbing it off on your page!
Ihave the same question as Ginny, because you took them out of the notebook to create them, where do you store them? They are so beautiful & I agree that the stitching makes it so “you.” I’m really loving these pages a lot!
for now, they are in an envelope š i will have to figure it out at some point I know š any ideas? thank you for your kind words!!
I love this one too, so beautiful your work is. The video for this one isn’t working for me either. Is anyone else having this promblem? Thanks for any help from anybody.
Dawn were you able to get it to work when you reloaded? i am so sorry. let me know and i’ll send you the direct link if u want.

Oh my gosh… this is just so wonderful. I am speechless… your such an inspiration to me.
