Art Journal Monday

Welcome to this edition of "Art Journal Monday".  I will admit I messed up last week and did an update on art journal on monday and wednesday.  It's only suppose to be on monday so I don't have that much to share with you.  

Here are my entries from January 5th and 6th.  I had  been getting prepared for CCL and all I had on my brain was what I needed to pack for the crop.  Janurary 6th consisted of a long day at work, so I used my lunch break to document my current workspace.  Boring I know....

CCL was Friday and Saturday so I didn't get any art journaling done.  I did bring it with me but was having too much fun whipping out layouts that when I though about it, it was 2:00 in the morning as I was driving home.  I was way too tired to do anything.  So no entry for the 7th or 8th.  Also no entry for the 9th because I spent majority of the day sleeping and preparing table decor for the my cousin's engagement party this saturday.

I plan to start back up with my journal tonight.  I find that the only time I have to doodle is either on my lunch break and before I go to bed.

Stay tuned!

Look for a long, picture infested post tomorrow as I recap my weekend and post all 21 layouts that were completed at the crop.

Until next Monday, happy art journaling!

Art Journal Wednesday

Welcome to "Art Journal Wednesday"!

So far I have be doing well with the project, keeping up with making an entry everyday.  Granted its only been 4 days but hey that is a start!  So here is one completed page in my journal that spans January 2nd thru January 4th.

My pens of choice are American Crafts Slick Markers.

Art Journal Monday

I am officially make every Monday, "Art Journal" Monday.  I have joined Julie over at her blog for "Art Journal Everyday".  Basically the goal is to spend 10 minutes everyday in your art journal.  I will admit that I have trouble with completing projects. I get going good in the beginning and then when times get tough I quit.  One of my new years resolutions is to "Finish all started Projects".  With "Art Journal Everyday" there is no pressure to complete a full page every day, but to do at least 10 minutes of art.  That seems manageable.

I decided to use a large Moleskine Watercolor notebook that I have had for a while.  With the pages being made for watercolor, I am sure that no matter what i put on these pages they will hold up.

The first day of the new year brought many hopes for me.  All day long I had running through my head things I would like to accomplish in the new year. Once I started writing the words started flowing. 

So here is to 2011, looking forward to all things achievable.

If you would like to join me on this journey of art journaling, take a look over at Julie's blog and you can sign up to be listed as a participant.  There is also a flickr group that Julie has created to share our art journal entries.  I will be linking mine up as I complete each page.
