Hello, my friends!
A few more of my art journal pages to share with you…I love this journaling more than I can say…
This first book of mine seems to be filling itself with favorite quotes illustrated by wonderful vintage art…
{another long-time favorite quote—isn’t it just wonderful?}
I find myself feeling like a Victorian girl filling up her scrapbook…
…cutting, gluing, painting, writing a few words here and there…creating a keepsake of favorite things & gaining a bit of confidence with every page…
{some of my pages are sheer journaling—this page, just my musings on summer as it’s coming upon us}
…and I’m loving every cut, glue, paint & word! There’s a great comfort I’m finding in doing this—can’t quite explain it…
{I love the look of stamping an image underneath the words—adds just a bit more dimension}
And doodling…just letting the pen go where it will…what joy!
One of my very favorite quotes of all time—and I couldn’t agree with Miss Austen more. These words actually go through my mind quite often when I’m relaxing with my family at home…
Real Comfort.
See you soon with something new…
Julie

Hi Julie, Your journal pages are fabulous! I especially like the ones you showed in your last post. On one hand I would like to make a journal but then there are always so many other projects I prefer to work on. Maybe one day ...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :-)!
Hugs,
Julia
very romantic book. liked the prints that you have used, and of course pictures
ReplyDeleteYour journals make me feel very nostalgic, I only wish I had the talent to put into words all the things you write & find quotes to fit every occassion, keep on journaling I love reading them.
ReplyDeleteYou are just so good at it!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous pretty lady,
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to do this, too, but never seem to find the time. Maybe I'll try it when it cools down here in October....besides, my hands are still really shaky. I'll just keep an eye on you for inspiration!
Hugs,
Meri

Hey Julie, I just love your journaling. Are you still making cards, or concentrating all your energy on this process now? Sure is worth it as each page is so beautiful. I definitely agree that real comfort is found at home. One of the reasons why I could not bring myself to travel far and wide this summer. Have a wonderful day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteYour little house image is so darling...and I too agree..I LOVE HOME!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to start doing this kind of journaling...I bet it is soooo much fun. Your penmanship is sooooo lovely.
Hugs to you my friend....my summer is just about on its way...one more week of school. xoxo
Love your creative journaling! I have a SMASH book that I have yet to write in as I keep waiting for some great inspiration before I put anything in there. This has encouraged me to get going!
