Art Journals

Here is the current playlist of all my Art Journal Tutorials for those who have requested it! I LOVE making art journals and playing with all kinds of mixed media just as much as I enjoy making cards!

Travellers Notebook. Nature Walk: Documenting Memories.Stampin' Up! Australian Demonstrator.

I love documenting memories in a Travellers Sized Notebook. I made traditional 12" x 12" albums for over 20 years, and much as I love my old albums, they are very difficult to store on a shelf, as most bookshelves are neither tall enough nor deep enough to house them.

I like to print on my home printer, and we all know the cost of ink refills! One of the great things about the smaller sized canvas of a Travellers Notebook is that you can put much smaller photos into your layout and still feel that the photo commands attention, rather than being swallowed up in a plethora of "similar" shots (yes, I know it's hard to choose just one shot when you have snapped dozens of photos of that birthday event, or that holiday ) in order to fill the double page spread of a 12" album.

However, what I am finding now is that I want to document much more regularly, rather than JUST birthdays and holidays, and documenting daily life is really important to me as a way of keeping a visual diary of my life as a newlywed.

Paul and I are crafting a life together, and remembering all the simple rituals and daily routines is turning out to be fun!

Life is a matter of moments.

I hope you enjoy this process video, and if you haven't already subscribed to my Youtube Channel, please consider doing so, and if you have a friend or two who you think may enjoy my tutorials please share the video!

Have a marvellously creative day!

How to Make an Art Journal Using Watercolour Paper. Mixed Media Art. Australian Stampin'Up! Demonstrator.

Buy Crafting Supplies in Australia at http://www.Aussiestampers.stampinup.net

Take one pack of Stampin' Up! Watercolour Paper and turn it into a 20 page art journal!
This is my very first attempt at book-binding, and I am pretty pleased with how it turned out, although I still have a lot to learn LOL.
I used a sheet of A4 card stock cut in half to cover the journal, bakers twine and a sewing needle to bind it.
I show you how to make the cover in part 2 of the video.
Have a marvellously creative day!
