I’m teaching! Gratitude Junk Journal 2019

I was so thrilled when Tiare Smith asked me to be one of the teachers for this year’s Gratitude Junk Journal class! I haven’t always been great about writing down my goals, but in the back of my head this has been one of them… to teach with a bunch of other amazing artists in a collaborative online class.

As you can see… it’s been months since I’ve updated my website with a blog post! In fact, I even need to update my new city. My husband and I (and the cat) moved to Austin, Texas, in June. A difficult end to 2018 with my husband losing his job of almost 20 years, to a long, stressful 2019 with finding a new job, selling our house, packing, finding a new house…and so many other things thrown in.

Gratitude.

I have so much to be thankful for despite the difficult days, and I can’t wait to share with you how I am documenting this journey in my art journal.

Registration for the class begins TODAY – October 1 and class begins November 1.

Click on the link above to register, meet the other artists, and read more about the class.

The class is priced at $69, HOWEVER… I have a coupon code for you!! YAY! Now through October 23, use the code JOYFUL when you checkout for a 20% early bird special discount.

I would love for you to join us on this journey of gratitude. I cannot wait to see what you create.

Oh, and one more thing….you can win a spot in the class! Watch for a post on my Instagram account with the class logo to find out how!

AGT: trust your heART – Art Journal Spread

 

This week I’m using Donna’s *heart texture* stencil to create this grungy, layered journal spread in my Dina Wakley Media Journal on the kraft paper. I had two different ideas in my head for the stencil…and when plan A didn’t work, I used plan B (which I love in the end!). I knew I needed a bold message on this messy spread, and while I was working the phrase “trust your heart/art” came to mind. I hope you take some time to play in your art journal….and trust your heART!
