I got hung up on this statement too. I've been following this channel for a while now, for the very same reason, she's an artist to my eyes, an inspiration. Her aesthetics might not all be to my liking, but that's art, it's very subjective, very personal and it doesn't have to please everyone. Be proud of what you create, Johanna.
I don't know why, but when I think of art journals, I automatically think that I need to draw something and that usually stops me from creating sometimes.. thank you for sharing your art journal and for inspiring me to get messy and to just get creative. :)
I have the same problem and I get super frustrated with myself because I know I'm causing my own creative block. Lol I love this style of art journal and this video is helpful.
People should NEVER say what someone elses art should look like! It is totally unique to who you are. It would be like someone telling you how you should speak or look. Art is an artist signature and should be dictated by no one else! Thank you for sharing. Your art is unique, inspiring and beautiful!
Your pages are amazing! Thank you for pointing out that "art journaling isn't always about being an artist.....or creating beautiful art.....sometimes it's about expressing yourself and doing art without thinking, it's intuitive art." When you look at it like that, blank pages are so much more inviting to everyone. Love your work and listening to your design commentary.
Don't you ever say that you are not an artist lol. 💘✨ everything that you do is so amazingly creative and i can't even explain my excitement every time that you post a video. 💕🌷🌈✨✨
I agree. Johanna, you are a good mixed-media artist. Your color choices, composition, collages, and drawings are very creative and eye-catching. Like Lilly, I get excited when you post a new video.
I WANT TO HOLD IT AND FEEL IT. it’s so aesthetically pleasing and beautifully created, and i love how the theme of each page is completely different. it makes me so happy to see things like this and i just love it!!
Delicious, mesmerizing eye candy!! You are such a wildly creative and skilled artist! Yet your humility and sweet sharing attitude makes me want to run up to my studio right now and get to work!!!! Thanks for sharing!
You are an artist by every means! What type...visual artist, mixed media artist, expressive artist...my dear. Take no critics. Be your beautiful self. Happy trails.
you are most def an artist and more than likely you are more of an artist than the so called artists who want to critique you. There are no rules in art. This book is fantastic.
I really love this journal, all the different looks and shapes and patterns are amazing. You are an artist, anyone who makes art is an artist; believe in yourself
I enjoyed this video. I definitely want to use your coloring book idea. I was cleaning out a bedroom to make it into a craft/art room and I threw a couple of old coloring books I found into a garage sale pile, but now I think I will just go get those out and use them in my collages! Thanks for the great idea!
I can't believe you don't think you are an artist! I wish I could randomly just pull together fantastic pages like that! It looks awesome and I think you should consider doing a children's book - the page with your son's quote is a good example of how you could do that. Great job.
even your so called unfinished pages are beautiful and charming......you are one of my favorite artists even though i have just discovered your channel.
Your drawings are so beautiful and inspiring and I'm gonna stay up late and try to work on my faces which I've neglected to practice for years... THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ME!! I LOVE YOUR FACE DRAWINGS VERY MUCH!!
I couldn't believe you said you weren't an artist! i just found your page and have watched all the videos in the playlist - so calming - whilst I scribbled away colouring in the designs I made with my new spirograph. I'm smitten! Thank you Johanna! x
This is so inspiring. I actually really like the line drawings on a colorful background. It really makes them stand out. And again you put colors together so well. It's beautiful!
you are an artist! you’re making art and being creative! that’s what an artist is; the people who tell you what’s wrong/needs to be fixed don’t know what real art is hahaha keep it up, you’re inspiring
I am so inspired by you. 🙌🏻 Honestly I am just in awe of you and your work I truly love everything you do. Thank you for sharing you beautiful journal ❤
Wow! So beautiful and such an accomplishment to fill up your journal. Every page is so beautiful and different. Love the cover and the pages with the fabric were amazing. While you might not call yourself one I think you definitely are an artist. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
I love your work and your art 😍 Your so creative and your journal is absolutely wonderful 💜 I hope you have done more so I can watch them I just love looking through these diy journals they are just so unique and beautiful I’m in awe 😃 Thank you so much for letting us see your art and for inspiring me 😘
I actually had tears in my eyes as you flipped through your journal for a few reasons. For one, it’s absolutely beautiful! Also because it’s so much work and you are so talented and I’m a little bit envious lol. And lastly because you poured your heart out on to those pages and I’m happy for you that you have such a creative spirit to be able to do that. It must be so therapeutic for you. Amazing stuff!
Hi Johanna, Just love your tutorials and flip throughs. I'm new to making my own journals and I'm hooked. I was wondering if you could post a couple of tutorials: One on making your own envelopes and attaching already made envelopes into journals without using tape. The other tutorial on how to make photo pockets and attach into journals. Thank you.
But you express yourself in a such an artistic and pleasing way! In my opinion, you are an artist. Thank you for sharing your personal project! We await the next creation!
Hello from your neighbour (kiwi here.) Love your journal! I discovered you while researching to try make my own sketchbook, and while I wont be doing what you do I admire how your journal has come out. It's such a special momento and I love your use of papers - so much so when I make my sketchbook I'm going to use different papers from scrapbooking, sketch paper and any other papers I can lay my hands on to draw on. Thank you for the inspiration. I also found the use of the girlfriend magazine notebook a crack up - I had the same one! And I saved the pictures as well lol.
Amie Ward thank you Amie! That sounds like such a great idea and would be a joy to see it come together! Would definitely be a little more interesting than yor average sketch book! Thank you so much for stopping by my channel. Ps that's hilarious about the girlfriend planner 😄 it does have some awesome illustrations though! X
OMG I'm so stunned... This is like the most amazing creative handmade work I've ever seen! I definitely love your style, the colors, etc. Every page has such a story and is beautiful on its own way. I always wanted to make something like this and you inspired me so much right now. Will start to make my own one. Thank you for being so creative :) ♥
Johanna I really love 💕 you’re awesome 😎 Journal 📔......And you’re pretty good at drawing ✍️ from those pictures in the journal 📓. Thank you so much 😊 I really appreciate you’re showing us your journal. xx Mags
I saw your process video of the space spread with the quote from your son awhile ago. So glad I came across your channel again! These pages are all awesome
A wonderful art journal and so very inspiring for me. You've shared some ideas I've never seen before. I've subscribed and clicked the notifications button too. :) Thank you so much.
Johanna your drawing skills aren’t bad at all. I think you might be thinking you have to draw faces realistically or you might want to do that and feel if you don’t then is not good, and that is often what happens with young artists. You have a style that reflects your delicate and romantic side. Painters like Klimt would probably inspire you and hopefully bring out more your confidence as an artist. You inspire me. Right now Im making my art journal because I need to get back to drawing. Its long overdue.
Sorry Johanna but I feel I must correct you, You ARE an "Artist"! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Art journals are a safe place for self expression and experimentation so I wouldn't worry about negative comments. I am sure you don't need anyone else to tell you what feels right. I love your very "Eclectic" style. (It's not random Hun, it's eclectic, lol). It's so fun and free and looks super duper tactile. I just want to hold it and run my hands over every page. Love it. 😊😘
I love it! What paint do you use and what do you use to seal/glaze? I love the book, my favourite page is the the one that was galaxy themed with your son's quote over the moon.
all of your video gave me so much inspiration! Thank you. and, for the next art journal, would you like to make a video starting from you make the cover please? :D Thank you so much,
"I'm not an artist, by any means."
-every freaking artist in the world

I love the cover, it is so colorful. It would look nice on a book shelf.
even your so called unfinished pages are beautiful and charming......you are one of my favorite artists even though i have just discovered your channel.
Of course you’re an artist, your drawings are delightful. Collaging is brilliant too.
