Yesterday, Lisa and I met up to spend some time art journaling. We had both enjoyed the Art Journal workshop we had attended in July, and wanted to keep the habit going. In the interim, I only had one “full” art journal time but had also spent some time clipping magazines here and there to have materials ready for more art journaling. Lisa brought several Fitness and Self Magazines, while I contributed a few issues of Real Simple. I spent most of the afternoon clipping inspirational quotes and graphics while Lisa put together several beautiful pages (you can see them on her blog). I also flipped through my current art journal and repaired a few pages that were becoming a bit unstuck.
It was fun and very relaxing, and we definitely hope to do it again at some point next month.
More on Art Journaling:
- Two workshops I attended: January and July
- Some background from Kimberly Wilson on Art Journaling (she has another art journal playshop this fall)
- A note on notebooks, as I often get asked. I have used these ($1 on sale at BN!) but honestly do not love them as much as this notebook, which Kimberly recommends and which Lisa uses.

Such a great time! We definitely have to schedule time for next month. Hope you had a great rest of the labor day weekend!
looks like you and lisa had a blast! it's always fun to art journal alone but add a friend and it becomes incredible! hugs!!
It looks like you had an amazing time. I love seeing you embrace your creative side. Thank you for sharing this.
Art journaling is such a neat idea – you are so creative! I know I have a little creativity deep down there (my mom was a fantastic painter – where did that talent gene end up?), I just need to find it!
