During last August, Big Picture Scrapbooking held a summer promotion where we were sent a Cocoa Daisy kit and each made three pieces of art. This is one of them.

And here’s page two. focused on yesterday’s thoughts of regret.
My page is using a lot of Tim Holtz products so here they are: Details:
So I am still really afraid of art journaling. Not sure why. I think it’s cause I feel I am really artistically untalented. (Is untalented a word? It appears so since spell-check isn’t correcting me.) I can’t draw. Or paint. Or anything. To top it off, I don’t collect quotes. So I never have ideas on what to make the pages about. But I love the idea of art journaling. I have a lot of supplies I’ve bought in excitement over the years. Expensive ones. I’ve taken many classes and I really enjoy looking at Donna’s or Dina’s pages. So I decided that maybe if I did the same thing I did for scrapbooking in May, I might actually get to get better at this. (Or at least less fearful.) So here’s to a month of art journaling. My hope/plan is to make a page a day. I know it’s October 5 and I’ve missed the first four days. But who cares. 27 days in a row will be just as powerful if you ask me. I doubt the extra 4 days will make or break this. And I could have done this So instead of waiting until November which is already full of other obligations/projects like my December Daily album and my parents’ visit and a trip to NYC, I’ll choose the better option. Now. Now is always best. Fair warning, I don’t know how to art journal. I am not talented. These pages will likely suck. I am still going to put them up daily. For me, more than anything. Feel free to skip. My biggest goal here is to conquer the fear. So if I can accomplish that it will be a big success. So here goes nothing.
My first page is using a lot of Tim Holtz products so here they are:
This was published as a guest post on back to school at the twopeas blog. Journaling Reads: 1. Always listen to your teacher. Even if you don’t agree with what she says. You can then talk to mommy about it. But you must listen. 2. Pay attention. This is the most obvious but hardest to do thing. You have to always go to class and pay attention. If you do, you will do well. 3. Do your homework. You already know that learning is all about practice. That’s what homework is for. It helps you practice what you learned. 4. Ask questions Never be too shy or scared to admit you don’t understand. It’s ok to ask and it’s the only way you will learn something. My sweet boy, this new journey in your life will be so much fun and the most important lesson I can teach you is to enjoy every single moment. The Girls’ Paperie Products I used: Details:

Journaling Reads: I did this for the My Mind’s Eye October newsletter sketch. I rotated the sketch by 90degrees so the photos were landscape and not portrait. I combined two small photos to create the equivalent of a 4×6 and then used the bottom section to put all the colored papers I love. The shaped papers are cut off from the bottom strip (where it shows you the back of the paper.) I just layered them and sewed them haphazardly. Details:
This is using the A Million Memories September Kit. Journaling Reads: Details: A few weeks ago Margie emailed me and asked me if I could do a few samples with one of her kits that were scheduled to sell on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). The kit had the Girls’ Paperie Paper Girl papers, ribbons, stamps, and die cuts. No alphabets! Can you imagine me doing a layout without alphabets? Well, I went off and bought the letter punch from MS and decided to step up to the challenge. I will post the 4 layouts I made in two days, over the next few weeks.

I did this one a few months ago, using a Crate Paper sketch.

Since I am a guest designer for My Mind’s Eye this month, I wanted to make sure to post a copy of each of my layouts here, too. These all use the amazing My Mind’s Eye products. Journaling Reads: The manila folder behind his photo holds the three teeth he lost so far. Details:
