Art Journaling - Documenting Precious Moments

-

 Yes, I have done a lot of art journal posts during the life of this blog. But we’re entering the holiday season and lots of plans are being made every day. So I think we need a post on how to keep track of it all by art journaling. 

Some of my favorite tools are: 

Sponge brushes 

Spray Inks 

Water chamber brush pens

Acrylic Paint

Matte Opaque gesso 


But we will use lots of tools so have all of your crafting gizmos at hand! 

Learn how to incorporate modern art with your own text and diary entries below! 



This was what my arm looked like after this project. 
That’s a sure sign of fun crafting! 

Here is a fun way to make an art journal stamp calendar! 
I then wrote my daily itinerary in the stamp boxes once they dried. I love the compass road because it symbolizes the adventures you can encounter while wandering the paths of life. This page also stands out after such a funky, bright page!  
This final calendar technique uses paint sticks. But feel free to use a rounded sponge brush and regular paint as well. 
Hope these have helped you stay organized! God loves you and so do I!

But I just couldn’t. So I decided I would probably wear something I already had.  But, being the homeschooled quarantine socially awkward teen that I am, I was so petrified that someone would think I had done something wrong if I didn’t buy a dress. So I got a dress and headed to the fitting rooms. I got my clothes number and headed to a stall. The lock was a bit janky but I managed. I went back out and headed for my cart but was stopped by a worker who said I needed to give him my card. I did not have my card.  He forced me to go back to the changing room TWICE but I cou...

  This is such an easy slime recipe you’ll hardly believe it!  Just mix up 4 cups of shaving cream, four tablespoons of contact solution, and 2 cups of glue. Add food coloring if you want. Then you just mix it until it feels like your arm will fall off. Easy as that.  Have fun slime makers!
