I want to share with you one of my absolute favorite hobbies of all time, Art Journalism Now I never really got into journaling or keeping a diary before discovering the world of Slam Books, now I keep one for every year. For those of you who don't know this amazing gift inspired by Mean Girls, (no one is insulted I promise) It is a way of scrapbooking where you aren't restricted to the size of the page or the thickness of the materials you use. Its a great way to use up old and extra supplies and create an entirely new medium to express yourself. My favorite way to create art pages for a journal is to start with a plain piece of cardstock paper, destroy it, reinvent it, and doodle just a bit more. I then punch a few holes and throw it into a binder filled with pictures, stories, postcards, whatever I did that year that enlightened me and that I want to remember. I created two pages recently inspired by two amazing quotes written by the one and only F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fun Fact: the F. stands for Francis I started with a magazine picture, some construction paper, fabric scraps, printed paper, yarn, and a bit of spilled candle wax. I also added tea paper, black ink, and a bit of green sugar crystals (I was curious on what would happen) I love the freedom art journaling has, it allows me to fully throw all I have to create a beautiful mess.
