Got 5 minutes for a no-mess art journal page? Try this!

 I have been collecting sticker books from the Spotlight Store. These inexpensive books are published by American Crafts and are full of colour coordinated sticker sheets, with quotes, flowers,birds, and design elements to make borders.

Perfect for those days when you feel like being creative , but don’t feel like getting out all your supplies and making a mess.
