"Pieces of Life" Art Journal


I made this journal using old 8.5 x 11 scrapbook paper & assorted scraps & ephemera. There are little pockets where journalling can easily be added. I had the entire day to myself which allowed me not only to start on this but complete it too!

Paper collage

I was inspired to "cut & paste" after viewing Get Messy's introductory free lesson to their newest class collaboration with Joanna Clough called "Pieces".

Honolulu Travel Journal

I took a few supplies with me when we went to Hawaii so I could scrap our memories into a travel journal and I have to say, I really enjoyed "creating on the go"!

Canada Day layout

I know it's officially fall but celebrating Canada's 150th birthday really feels like yesterday. I incorporated a commemorative Canada 150 stamp (that had been affixed to the envelope of a card my granddaughter mailed to me, received on the day I was creating this layout) as an embellishment. I love it when those serendipitous moments occur, don't you?
