I have the first page in my mini junk journal to share today! It is on ledger paper which I made sure to cover with clear gesso so the paper would hold up. it is a very Dina Wakley-esque page, with a splot of Dylusions Ink and some magenta paint. It came together very quickly, which is exactly what I wanted for this 'art everyday' venture. To see exactly how I made it, you can watch the process video at the end of this post. There is also a complete supply list with links to everything I used on this page.

After making a project for Finnabair's Art Daily Café, it really inspired me to want to take a little time everyday for myself to be creative. I decided to take a bunch of junk (packaging, scraps, magazine pages, fabric etc.) and make myself a mini art journal that I could use to be creative everyday. It was important the pages were small, to keep it manageable. It has a fabric cover and probably the easiest binding ever (just a straight stitch thru the sewing machine). If you want to see exactly how I made my mini junk journal, you can watch the process video at the end of this post. Thanks so much for looking! ~jenn

It is time for a new month of Our Mixed Media Moods! What is our Mixed Media Moods? ~Hosted by Deedee Catron and myself, we create a mood board every month and create projects around it, using the photos as inspiration! Here is May's Mood Board: I just love the mustard/navy combo! So, I created an art journal page using the navy as inspo. And I added gold instead of mustard, as I'm obsessed with a pop of gold. I used vintage papers in my background, drawing from the stack of books and vintage typewriter. Here is the process video: Be sure to check out DeeDee's Video: https://youtu.be/ucAMMI8YWSQ We'd love if you joined us, you can link up your project to DeeDee's blog: http://deedeecatron.blogspot.com/2017/05/tension-mixed-media-tutorial-our-mixed.html Or you can join us over at our FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/OurMixedMediaMoods Here are all the products I used: (in order of appearance) Coll...
