Ommm!🧘 Do it afraid. Go for it. Experiment. Take risks. Be daring. Practice makes progress. There you go. Just do you. Have fun! Embrace it. Enjoy the moment. Love it👍
I prepped my last creative journal with paint like you're doing now and in the beginning I hated it just like you. But as I began to document and play with it through the month it turned out to be one of favorites ❤❤❤ the pages provided so much opportunity for play. Kudos to you for stepping out of your comfort zone🎉🎉❤️
This is sooo good! I think it is great to stretch your thinking and creating for your monthly journals! This is also inspiring to me! It makes me want to do more art journals instead of just sticking with my daily documenting-type journals with scrapbook paper, like you do. Playing with paint, paper, and stencils sooo fun and makes such pretty backgrounds! Love it!
thanks for watching - yes i love getting messy and art journaling and I rarely do it in my daily journal so i am struggling with the combination.. but i do love it!
You are very brave!! I can't wait to see how this turns out. I could never do this. I love your videos b/c I can never second guess what you are going to do. Love it!! Hope you get your work project done. I'm sure you will. Have a blessed day.
For the bright neon colors don't be afraid to mix them. I like to put bright colors with white and mix it on the page and make cool pastel colors. Also some other examples a neon Green mixed with a dark green or a neon green with a blue. I use this trick for the gel plate also. ❤ I just thought of another technique you can use. Put paint down on the page. Put a stencil down and take a paper towel and rub the paint away thats showing through the stencil. It's kind of like getting the reverse stencil. If you use acrylic paint you have to work fast.
Thanks - yes it’s hard but most of them are just backgrounds so I’ll prob end up just adding journaling spots anyway … but this journal is far from my fav 🤦♀️🤣
I hate that you are struggling so much 😔 it’s supposed to be fun! I am doing stencils. My June 1 page will go up tomorrow. I love stencils! And I’m not using a white page. I’m just stenciling over the normal junk pages that I use every month lol
is it weird i kind of like that u don't like it....i have so many pages i don't like / don't know how to use and i'm interested to see how u combat this without scrapping what u don't like
Yes I often like to see when others struggle with challenges I have also … “ misery loves company” right?!? 😭🤦♀️ but seriously I think it helps me view things differently or try new things when I see others face the same things I do … thanks for watching !

The paper stencil and the flowers are beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing how the rest of your journal turns out!
Thank you so much!😊

Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate your feedback… it’s always hard to know if I should share the “struggle” 😭 hope you are well!

Fun stuff!! I sure hope you love your journal at the end of the month! I love it so far! Love and hugs!
Thanks friend ! I took the easy way out and just made backgrounds ! 🤦♀️🤷♀️
I liked watching you play with your stencils in your journal. Hope your voice and throat get better very soon.
Thanks so much ! 😊
Ooooh. This all looks great! Love it. Curious to know how you go with acrylic paint in your journal. It's hard to write on!
Thanks - yes it’s hard but most of them are just backgrounds so I’ll prob end up just adding journaling spots anyway … but this journal is far from my fav 🤦♀️🤣
I wonder if parchment paper or wax paper would stick as much as the plastic?
Oh interesting … yes good idea!
Love It 🩷
Thanks 😊
