Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a great Thursday!
I find on Thursdays I kinda flounder around on what to write about. So, unless a sponsor introduction or guest post is on that day, I am going to tryyyy and post something art related on Thursdays!
Today, I wanted to show you the art journal I am working on for the “Play That Song” Art Journal class I am taking with Kara.
I honestly haven’t gotten a wholeee lot done yet, but I have gotten started on the cover and on the inside cover. For the cover I used an old record I had picked up from a garage sale. Then for the “Play That Song” I used stickers and then painted over them with guesso, then came back through and outlined then with my black 03 micron pen.
For the closure- we were supposed to use a lace doily and I really wanted to! But.. I didn’t have one. :-( I have some large ones but not one small enough to use for this book. Plus the ones I have are really personal, my great grandma either made them, or they are really big pretty ones from my mom. So… I made my own closure! I punched two holes in the front and the back, and then tied an elastic ribbon through them. :)) I had thought of this idea a while back, and I’m glad I got to try it out! I love how it works.
I would show you the front inside cover but I’ve only painted it and put some glitter, so its not done yet. :) But next week I hope to have a tonnn more pictures to show you!

This sounds so fun! I’ve always wanted to journal, but I have no artistic abilities whatsoever!
Ohh so fun! I was excited to see some of the pages from this class on pinterest! : )
I always love seeing different takes on art journaling! I just posted some pages I worked on the past few nights…

That looks fun! I’ve never heard of art journaling before.
