Embrace the imperfections of your Art Journal
You have ten minutes to play in your journal…. You keep on thinking about drawing or painting something…. But it NEEDS to be perfect…. I got you! Often times many glorify perfection while the concept of imperfection has found a haven in the realm of art journaling. The pages of your art journal need not be flawless; in fact, they often come alive when they reflect the raw, unfiltered essence of your thoughts and emotions. So let’s celebrate the imperfect, a statement to the idea that things don’t have to be perfect in your art journal.

Using my son’s designs to create memories
If you have kids you definitely know how much they draw and paint all kind of things, so there are loose paper sheets everywhere and dozens of notebooks all over the place. They simply love to draw! My son is no exception, so he likes to draw all kind of things, like flowers, lines and different shapes. Most of these drawings are sketched on loose sheets of paper, so many them get lost all over the house. I throw away the majority of them, but some I like to keep and repurpose.

Junk Journal Obsession
I’ve discovered junk journals back in 2015 and since then I love to create and refurbished old *junky* journals that otherwise were meant to join the trash bin. 😁 I knew this kind of ‘journaling’ is going to be my favorite {and it’s been so ever since} just because I can practically use whatever materials I have at hand. Making your art (junk?) journals But lately has grown on me even more, because I’ve discovered so many journals that can be transformed into junk journals, so much so, that I can’t wait to paint in all of them! But hey, because I tend to start and work in too many…
