I started art journaling 10 years ago thanks to Journal Artista. She has many many beginner videos with lots of fun tecniques I know you will enjoy. LOVE you're 1st spread! Julie
Hugely enjoyed watching this Tina. It's really relaxing, and great hearing your enthusiasm for this. I say go for it! Thanks for being such a fantastic Collab buddy. We have such a warm and friendly craft network here on TH-cam. Happy New Year!! Joie ❣️
I absolutely love this spread. If you hadn't said that you were relatively new to art journaling I would never have guessed. I see this as the same as making master boards then decorating the tags and journaling cards, just on a larger scale and not making them mirror images. Well done !!!
Wow, loving your art journal, Tina!!! Your first 2 spreads are amazing. Love how you are going out of your comfort zone a little, yet keeping it Tina style! You rock! What a fun collab! Happy New Year!
Oh thank you so much Barbara. I had a lot of fun doing these, actually can't wait to do some more :-) . It's a wonderful collaboration, I have been really enjoying everyone's videos x
I really enjoyed this video! I must say that I truly enjoy seeing you use a variety of the stamp pad colors...these gals that always use vintage photo lend themselves to boredom in my opinion! Color is beauty!
So pretty, Tina! You’d never know you are new to art journaling. Your eye for composition just translates to all mediums. You’ve inspired me to pull out one of my dozens of art journals and have a play. So fun to be part of this collaboration with you! Happy New Year, my friend! Wishing you and your family every blessing in 2021. Love and hugs, my friend! ❤️
Oh thank you so much Gayle, I really enjoyed doing this, and can't wait to do another! I am sooooo thrilled that you even felt inspired to get out one of your art journals and have a play! Yes, what a wonderful way to start the New Year, it was a great idea of Joie's. Happy New Year to you, wishing you every happiness for 2021 x
Thank you so much. Yes, I am ready to embrace some art journalling, and I love the freedom that it brings, with no need for matching, no rules at all like you say x
You've inspired me to start my own art journal book, which I've not done before. I've 'gessoed' a 2 page spread from my chosen book as images are so vivid! When it's dry, I'll be off, thanks to you!
I love art journals and watching others work in their journals. As long as you're comfortable sharing your journey, I'd love to watch. Your pages are beautiful. I'm currently working in a couple of inexpensive sketch books for mine, but I love the idea of using a book. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Melinda, I am thrilled to be able to share my journey with you. I loved the process, and literally can't wait to do another spread. I was going to buy a sketchbook, and then thought I would give it a try on an old book, we'll see whether it works out ok once I have done a few more pages, but if it gets too stuffed, then I hopefully will just be able to remove some of the unused pages x
Oh my gosh, 9 children!!!! What hard work that must have been!! Yes, if you have to have a birthday around the Christmas period, that is definitely the day to have it......well except for 2020 which wasn't the most fun, lol x
Hi 🙋♀️ Tina, All I can say luve is OHHHHH MYYYYY GOSHHHHHH.......Tina YOU are NOT RUBBISH MY LUVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU TOUCH YOU TURN TO GOLD...... AND MAKE IT INTO SOMETHING TOTALLY AMAZING AN I LUVE IT......... WELL DONE ON YOUR FIRST PAGE IT'S AWESOME.......... DON'T YOU DARE STOP..................................... Hugs🤗🤗🤗 and Kisses🥰🥰🥰 from Rhonda Laine Aussie Land xoxoxox
Brilliant & thanks for the mention, Art journaling is just great , very therapeutic & helped me get away from perfection plus other things, I’ve got an old hairdressing magazine ready gessoed which I’m looking forward to using this year. Yes you learn from doing wise words thank you. X
Beautiful. I'm now going to join in the art journalling and look out an old book or magazine to use as an art journal. It'll be great to experiment with some of the things I have not used for a very long time or not used at all yet. I look forward to seeing more.
Oh that's fantastic, it's so nice to try something completely different. I am thrilled that you are going to join in with some art journalling, I actually can't wait to do another spread x
Very fine collage..looking good....some people can do mixed medium,...I personally, have a hard time at it...i am more of a perfectionist, as much as a abstract kind of a person.... Submertrial (equal on both sides)...the right spelling escapes me at this time of the early morning...nice start.....😻
Hi Tina, it’s going to be a fun year. I love the yellow in this spread. Growing up, yellow was always my favorite color. But when I started quilting back in the early 80’s, not so much. I now favor blue and green. And in journals I favor blue, green, lavender and pink. So the yellow is very refreshing. I think I may have to make a yellowish journal. Hugs 🤗
Yes, I hope we're going to have lots of fun this year :-) . It's funny, I'm not normally a big yellow fan, but something was obviously calling me for this spread!!! I just love colour really to be honest. Hope you have a great day x
Queridas pessoas amigas , gostaria de desejar-lhes um feliz Ano Novo apesar de não conhecer vcs pessoalmente sei que existem coisas que gostamos de fazer ou assistir nossa amiga Tina fazendo e isso me conforta e me faz ter esperança . Somos iguais apesar de nossas diferenças culturais ou econômicas. Somos seres humanos e compartilhamos além dessa condição o amor pelos papeis. Meu desejo para 2021 é que pessoas poderosas possam encontrar, assim como nós, uma maneira que possibilite um momento para reflexão. O mundo será muito melhor quando for obrigatório "cortar e colar" por uma hora, antes de tomar qualquer decisão importante. LOVE YOU
Thanks Tina I really want to get into Art journals this year great inspiration. A couple of things I do, use my water spray to spray guess eush them wrap in wet tissue or wet wipe until i can wash properly, or i keep a small jar in room and a bottle of water, I use lending rush for the distress ink then mist with water
Oh thank you so much Marie. Have a go at one, these are perfect, as like you I started out with mini-albums, and do junk journals of course. These are just like a bit of a detour really, and also no drawing/painting etc involved :-) x
Love art journaling. I first started with Marta @MaremiSmallArt. I have not done this in a long time. I am glad you are starting this up on your channel! Happy Birthday to your son! My brother is a New Years baby!! Haha he is not a baby any more!! I used to not use Washi tape at all but love it now and find that if it does not stick I just run it across the top of a glue stick (a trick I learned from Gayle Agostinelli!!)
I love Maremi Small Art channel, she is just so inspiring. I really enjoyed doing this, and can't wait to do more. Thank you for remembering my son, he had as much of a lovely day as he could have with the current restrictions. New Year is a bit of a rubbish time to have a birthday isn't it, but I think if you have to have a birthday around this time, then (pre-covid) New Years Eve is the birthday to have. My daughter's and also my sisters birthdays are next week which is really a rubbish time even without the restrictions. Thank you for the tip about the glue stick for the washi, must try and use more washi x
I’m so pleased to hear you are going to do more art journaling! I started art journaling about 6 years ago, long before I heard of junk journals and I really want to get back to it more now! Tfs and Happy New Year xxx💕
Oh that's fantastic Susie, I thoroughly enjoyed doing this spread, and can't wait to do some more. Yes, definitely go back to it if you have time. Happy New Year to you x
Absolutely beautiful! You would never know this was your first time art journaling! I look forward to seeing all of the different styles you experiment with!
Oh Tina, I Love this idea for the new year and am looking forward to finding the right book to start out with!! 2021 Has Already Been More Positive than last year!!
I would love to learn how to make a hidden spine journal, more things with napkins or altering cards. I'm really looking forward to see what you and Gayle both do for the collaboration very exciting.Happy New Year🐞🥰⛄❄️☃️🌨️
I want to make an art journal! Im scared I wouldn't be good at it! Im always preaching we are good enough but so hard on myself! Why do we do that!? I know I'm not alone! Lol you like always have inspired! I just may give it a whirl.
Oh definitely give it a try. I am still very much learning as I go, but it’s soooooooo fun. And at the end of the day, it’s just something for you to get pleasure from, so there’s no benchmark as to how it has to look, just go for it and enjoy the process xx
You said " your rubbish st collage....no your not. I looooove what you did. You should see mine, they are rubbish. I think doing all those beautiful digitals are collage, arnt they. I do want to learn collage, so this is great. Thank you for sharing your talent. It's beautiful.
Oh thank you so much. I think we are our own worst critics, so I’m sure I would be saying the same back to you about your collage. The main thing is that it’s enjoyable which it definitely is 🤗 x
Thank you for reminding me that I came from the art journal world before an utterly joyful detour into the world of junk journals! Your spread turned out beautifully. Thank you for your generous contributions to the world of art in whatever format we choose. All the best for a safe & creative 2021.
I also aim to do more art journalling or just generally expressing this side of me in 2021. You have inspired me to get going thank you. Today's results are beautiful.
Beautiful pages, Tina! I love the blend of collage and mixed media! I am determined to get back to my mixed media some this year and include it in my journals more. I've even been picking up a few techniques with watercolors and adding them in here and there. It's such fun and so freeing! TFS the inspiration!
Oh thank you so much Gail. I think there are quite a few of us who are going to be trying out Art Journaling this year, which is just awesome. You are so right, it really is so fun and freeing x
Fabulous pages Tina, makes me want to get mine out again as been a few years since iv last done something like this. so thank you for that as I use to enjoy stencilling, painting, stamping and sticking things down. You never knew how it was going to turn out. Enjoy your new years day TIna. xxxxxx
Oh thank you so much, I had such a lovely time doing this spread. It's very relaxing isn't it? I hope you had a wonderful New Year, and wish you much happiness for 2021, stay safe x
Thank you so much for this video. I am new to the crafting/art world. There are sooo many things I want to try. I have started making junk journals and am enjoying the process immensely. You sharing your apprehension inspires the rest of us to jump in there with you! I hope you continue with the art Journaling on camera so we can explore with you! Happy new year!
Thank you so much Hilda, I am thrilled that you feeling inspired. I think thats the beauty of the world of journaling, there are so many different styles and things to try, it is just soooooo much fun x
Gorgeous pages for your art journal. It was on my list to start on January 1st. So it is right on time… just fabulous! I found the perfect booklet to use and will be doing it along with you. I also had on my list to start using my vintage ephemera and papers and that’s the perfect place to use them. This was very relaxing and I enjoyed it! Happy fist day of 2021!
Oh that's fantastic Laurette, what brilliant timing. I loved doing this and actually can't wait to do another spread, I'm sure you will love the process too. Yes, using some of the vintage things we collect is definitely on my to do list for 2021 too. Happy New Year to you, wishing you every happiness for 2021 x
Thank you so much Daisy, Happy New Year to you too. I also struggle with the difference, but in the end I think that they're all art and should be unique to you, so whatever/however you want to make it should be fine (just my take on it, lol) x
Such a beautiful spread! So cheerful! Your plans for this year sound great! I look forward to Tidy Friday’s, who am I kidding, I could use a Tidy Saturday, Sunday, Monday etc! 😂🤣. Such a mess after Christmas. I don’t make New Years resolutions but but in the last couple of years I have chosen a word for the year. Last year was Trust. Needed that! This year is Celebrate! I will choose to celebrate the good things, big and small. Happy New Year everyone, 🥳❤️🤗🇨🇦
Lol, yes I know what you mean about needing a Tidy Saturday, Sunday etc! I watched Gayle recently she also said that you chooses a word for the year, I love that idea. I am going to try and think of a word too I think. Celebrate is a great word, and we don't spend enough time celebrating the smaller things do we? Happy New Year to you Laura, wishing you every happiness for 2021 x
So happy you are doing this--I, too, had art journaling on my agenda for 2021--so, I'll give it a go! I hope you continue the monthly challenges with the acrostic inspiration--I want to get on board with these, too.
Oh that's fantastic Teresa, it's really relaxing, I can't wait to do another spread. Have fun with yours. I hope to continue with the monthly challenges, as they are also really fun aren't they? x
These spreads are beauriful Tina. It's great to try new things. I am very new to junk journaling and absolutely love it. Also discovering new 'talents' in myself 😊. I have started an art journal as well, trying watercolouring and drawing. Not good at any of it but I enjoy doing it 🤗. Thanks for sharing
That’s fantastic, it’s great fun to try new things isn’t it? Remember we are our own worst critic when you say you are not any good at something 🙃. At the end of the day, it’s about creativity and enjoying the process, and you sound like you are having a great time 😉🙂 x
Great start to 2021! My favourite colour at this time of year is Yellow - I suppose I’m looking forward to daffodils and primroses! Ever the optimist, but the daffodils always happen. I have a book picked out for art journaling, I like Marta from Maremi Small Art here on TH-cam who does lovely art journal pages as well. Escapism is very very welcome at the moment! So I will join you. If I make a mess of it I have learnt to chop things up and use them for things like clusters and so on. I’d love another lapbook as well if you have time and space. About kids going back to school......who knows?? Take care and Happy New Year 😊❤️
Oh thank you so much Sara. Yes, I love the daffodils too, they just always look so happy! Lol. I love Maremi Small Art, she does amazing things doesn't she? I am so thrilled that you are going to join me in this new adventure. It definitely brings a new freedom, that even junk journals don't seem to have. Yes, I will definitely do some more lapbooks, as I love doing them. We've had an update now, my daughter is going back to school on Monday, but my son won't be going back until the 18th, so we'll see how that goes. Happy New Year, wishing you much happiness for 2021, stay safe x
I love that your embracing art journaling...your layouts/spreads are beautiful & joyful!! I would never have guessed you were brand new to this...looking forward to more, please!! 😊🦋💛
Hi dear Tina, it's a beautiful idea to go on with the art-journey 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Rachel often said that it's easier to start the collagybackround with bigger pieces and then add the little things..🤓 And really, it's easier to find the flow🤩 The pages turned out very pretty!!! Barbara frequently explains why it's important for the eyes to see a triangle of color around the focal point...and I think it brings together the pages and looks beautiful! Please, my dear, take a glass of water near to you otherwise your brushes will all be in the bin in a soon future 😵🤣😵🤣 How many stamps you have?? Barbara arranged all her stamps in a stamps album (in color order 😮) and so she saw all her stamps easily...perhaps it's a post for you to make your craftlife easier!?!? Best wishes from Germany 💞🌷💞🌷
Thank you so much for your great tips and reminders. Yes, I have heard Barbara and Rachel share those tips as well, I must try and remember them! Lol. Yes I am VERY rubbish at looking after my brushes, maybe that's something else I need to work on for 2021! I do have a small tin of other stamps so I must go through some of those too, I saw Barbara's stamp album, it was very pretty to look at as well as a great idea. Hope you had a wonderful New Year x
UMMMMM just my 3¢.... But at the end of the day it really is just cut and paste. And as long as your happy with the pages you create then that's all that matters!!! So I think you should give yourself so much more credit in regards to it all..As I can clearly see you useing different "Art" teqniques or concepts in your pages such as balance of weight and color I think your off to a great start!! And by approaching it like "going with the flow / intuitive process". Is the best way going about it. As well as just picking pages throughout the book/journal. Thanks for sharing !!!
Thank you so much. You are right really, it is just a form of cut and paste, but I guess it's a nice way of being creative and artistic for those of us who can't draw or paint :-) x
So lovely! Hard to believe it’s your first time, but I suppose a lot of skills carry over from one artsy craftsy thing to another. Looking forward to more of these and lots of other videos from your channel. Happy 2021 to us all! 🙏🏻💕✨
Morning Tina, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family. Really enjoyed this video, seeing you doing this art journal medium, i now see where i am going wrong. i learnt so much from you today. Thank you once again. Blessings and hugs, as usual. Diana
Oh thank you so much Diana. I had such a great time doing this spread, I literally can't wait to do another! Lol. I am just playing and learning as a I go, I really hope you enjoy joining me in the journey. Happy New Year to you, wishing you every good thing for 2021 x
Love this idea and want to try it. Yours turned out beautiful!! I'm not really fast at collaging either, I over think what I'm doing!! Have a great weekend. 💜
So now my dog, Biscuit, thinks I’m crazy. I sat here talking to you about where you should place things on your page. You followed all my advice! Good job! The page is lovely. I’m not a fan of yellow, but still this came out great. Happy New Year.
You did make me chuckle with your comment about your dog. Haha. So pleased that we were on the same wavelength as to where to place things. Strangely I'm not a big fan of yellow either, but something must have been calling to me for this project!!!! Lol. Happy New Year to you x
I started art journaling 10 years ago thanks to Journal Artista. She has many many beginner videos with lots of fun tecniques I know you will enjoy. LOVE you're 1st spread! Julie
Oh thank you for the recommendation Julie, I will be sure to check her out x
I love that you are art journaling, I am looking forward to more of these types of videos.
I love the collages you made! Please do continue making them.
Thank you so much x

Love you sharing your art journey with us. Thank you for your encouraging words for 2021!
Oh thank you so much, much love to you x
LOVE this Tina. My mind has runaway... with using scraps, moods & whimsies. And to learn, practice NEW techniques and products.
I really enjoyed this video! I must say that I truly enjoy seeing you use a variety of the stamp pad colors...these gals that always use vintage photo lend themselves to boredom in my opinion! Color is beauty!
So pretty, Tina! You’d never know you are new to art journaling. Your eye for composition just translates to all mediums.

Yes, what a wonderful way to start the New Year, it was a great idea of Joie's. Happy New Year to you, wishing you every happiness for 2021 x
Love your first Art Journal page. My style changed over time. No rules in art journaling... that’s why I like it. M
Thank you so much. Yes, I am ready to embrace some art journalling, and I love the freedom that it brings, with no need for matching, no rules at all like you say x
Thank you for sharing with us; I really enjoyed watching this.

I love it! Mixed media distress crayons. N stuff. I love that. Great job.
Tina this was beautiful! Happy birthday to your son. My 9th child shares that same bday. 31 years ago. The entire world celebrates with them
Oh my gosh, 9 children!!!! What hard work that must have been!! Yes, if you have to have a birthday around the Christmas period, that is definitely the day to have it......well except for 2020 which wasn't the most fun, lol x
How lovely! I look forward to more pages. You are so inspiring... whatever you venture into. Thank-you
Your so talented you can do anything.
Your first try is wonderful, Tina!! It is the most fun to develop images in an art journal!!
Quite lovely.....just a bit different from what I think of as your style and it works well.
I look forward to joining on your new journey happy 2021
Besides loving your artistic endeavors, I adore your rings! I am a jewelry hoarder and love watching what ring you wear in each video!
Oh thank you so much Cindy, I know what you mean about being a jewellery hoarder x

Love your first spread. I love everything you are working on. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Nita x
I really enjoyed this, Tina. I think I like it better than glue books. Please do continue, your spreads are beautiful.
Thank you so much Janet, I really loved doing this. x
Your spreads are beautiful. I love your style. Can’t believe they are your first. Thanks so much. Xx
Always love your videos! I would like to try one too but I am no artist! I do junk journals and mini albums. I just enjoy your company!
Oh thank you so much Marie. Have a go at one, these are perfect, as like you I started out with mini-albums, and do junk journals of course. These are just like a bit of a detour really, and also no drawing/painting etc involved :-) x
I watched Barbara make her December calendar and it scared me. I’m so pleased yr doing this x
I love Barbara's videos, her work is just beautiful x
@@shabbydabbydoodah oh Lordy absolutely!
Love art journaling. I first started with Marta @MaremiSmallArt. I have not done this in a long time. I am glad you are starting this up on your channel! Happy Birthday to your son!

Ink wirh water and a brush. Oxides direct on paper then spray lightly. Be AMAZED! 😘
Thank you so much for the tip, I will have to try x
I’m so pleased to hear you are going to do more art journaling! I started art journaling about 6 years ago, long before I heard of junk journals and I really want to get back to it more now! Tfs and Happy New Year xxx💕
Oh that's fantastic Susie, I thoroughly enjoyed doing this spread, and can't wait to do some more. Yes, definitely go back to it if you have time. Happy New Year to you x
Absolutely gorgeous! I hope to start an Art Journal of my own. Thank you for the inspiration and the courage.
That's fantastic, have fun with yours, x
Absolutely beautiful! You would never know this was your first time art journaling! I look forward to seeing all of the different styles you experiment with!
Thank you so much Robin, I had lots of fun doing this x
Oh Tina, I Love this idea for the new year and am looking forward to finding the right book to start out with!! 2021 Has Already Been More Positive than last year!!
Oh Angela that's fantastic, I am thrilled that you are going to join in with some art journalling. Happy New Year, x
I love this...wonderful idea...beautiful start Tina...I hope to find a book that I can join in...
Please keep on with the art journaling. I love the pages you have done. And watching the process is interesting.
This came out really beautiful. Happy New Year to you and your family! Stay safe. I am sorry you have to lock down again.
I would love to learn how to make a hidden spine journal, more things with napkins or altering cards. I'm really looking forward to see what you and Gayle both do for the collaboration very exciting.Happy New Year🐞🥰⛄❄️☃️🌨️
Thank you so much Lala for your suggestions. I hope you had a wonderful New Year, wishing you every happiness for 2021 x
Really beautiful! I love how the yellow spoke to you in the different areas you went to to grab papers to do this spread.
It was really funny, I hadn't planned on going with yellow prior to the video, but it must have been there is my subconscious, lol x
Great idea for art journal. We have freezing rain here in Ohio US. Uhhhh
I do hope you have a wonderful new year.
I want to make an art journal! Im scared I wouldn't be good at it! Im always preaching we are good enough but so hard on myself! Why do we do that!? I know I'm not alone! Lol you like always have inspired! I just may give it a whirl.
Oh definitely give it a try. I am still very much learning as I go, but it’s soooooooo fun. And at the end of the day, it’s just something for you to get pleasure from, so there’s no benchmark as to how it has to look, just go for it and enjoy the process xx
It is really, really pretty and your first spread is top-notch! Happy New Year and thank you for joining in the collab with your ideas and talents.
Thank you so much Tonya, Happy New Year to you x
You said " your rubbish st collage....no your not. I looooove what you did. You should see mine, they are rubbish. I think doing all those beautiful digitals are collage, arnt they. I do want to learn collage, so this is great. Thank you for sharing your talent. It's beautiful.
Oh thank you so much. I think we are our own worst critics, so I’m sure I would be saying the same back to you about your collage. The main thing is that it’s enjoyable which it definitely is 🤗 x
Thank you for reminding me that I came from the art journal world before an utterly joyful detour into the world of junk journals! Your spread turned out beautifully. Thank you for your generous contributions to the world of art in whatever format we choose. All the best for a safe & creative 2021.
Oh thank you so much Hazel. I really enjoyed this, so much that I can't wait to do another spread. Happy New Year to you x
I also aim to do more art journalling or just generally expressing this side of me in 2021. You have inspired me to get going thank you. Today's results are beautiful.
Oh that's fantastic Rita, have fun x
Happy new year! Please continue with this series. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful pages, Tina! I love the blend of collage and mixed media! I am determined to get back to my mixed media some this year and include it in my journals more. I've even been picking up a few techniques with watercolors and adding them in here and there. It's such fun and so freeing! TFS the inspiration!
Oh thank you so much Gail. I think there are quite a few of us who are going to be trying out Art Journaling this year, which is just awesome. You are so right, it really is so fun and freeing x
Definitely a successful experiment.
Fabulous pages Tina, makes me want to get mine out again as been a few years since iv last done something like this. so thank you for that as I use to enjoy stencilling, painting, stamping and sticking things down. You never knew how it was going to turn out. Enjoy your new years day TIna. xxxxxx
Oh thank you so much, I had such a lovely time doing this spread. It's very relaxing isn't it? I hope you had a wonderful New Year, and wish you much happiness for 2021, stay safe x
Oh you are already fab at collage! When I saw your blue collage spread I was immediately inspired!
Oh thank you so much Bonnie x
Thank you so much for this video. I am new to the crafting/art world. There are sooo many things I want to try. I have started making junk journals and am enjoying the process immensely. You sharing your apprehension inspires the rest of us to jump in there with you! I hope you continue with the art Journaling on camera so we can explore with you! Happy new year!
Thank you so much Hilda, I am thrilled that you feeling inspired. I think thats the beauty of the world of journaling, there are so many different styles and things to try, it is just soooooo much fun x
I’m so happy you art art journalling cause I love your style !!
That In My Garden book has awesome pictures. I love your first art journal spread and would enjoy seeing more. TFS
Oh ! those sweet little birds in yellow! I love where this is going. I'd love to join in.
Gorgeous pages for your art journal. It was on my list to start on January 1st. So it is right on time… just fabulous! I found the perfect booklet to use and will be doing it along with you. I also had on my list to start using my vintage ephemera and papers and that’s the perfect place to use them. This was very relaxing and I enjoyed it! Happy fist day of 2021!
Oh that's fantastic Laurette, what brilliant timing. I loved doing this and actually can't wait to do another spread, I'm sure you will love the process too. Yes, using some of the vintage things we collect is definitely on my to do list for 2021 too. Happy New Year to you, wishing you every happiness for 2021 x
Love this. Beautiful pages. I struggle with the difference between art journals, collage books and glue books. I love to collage. Happy new year 🎆
Thank you so much Daisy, Happy New Year to you too. I also struggle with the difference, but in the end I think that they're all art and should be unique to you, so whatever/however you want to make it should be fine (just my take on it, lol) x
OMG. I just looked this book up on Amazon and they want $112.64 for it!! That's crazy. Love your art journaling.
Oh no, and I have just ruined mine!!! Lol x
Such a beautiful spread! So cheerful! Your plans for this year sound great! I look forward to Tidy Friday’s, who am I kidding, I could use a Tidy Saturday, Sunday, Monday etc! 😂🤣. Such a mess after Christmas. I don’t make New Years resolutions but but in the last couple of years I have chosen a word for the year. Last year was Trust. Needed that! This year is Celebrate! I will choose to celebrate the good things, big and small. Happy New Year everyone, 🥳❤️🤗🇨🇦
Lol, yes I know what you mean about needing a Tidy Saturday, Sunday etc! I watched Gayle recently she also said that you chooses a word for the year, I love that idea. I am going to try and think of a word too I think. Celebrate is a great word, and we don't spend enough time celebrating the smaller things do we? Happy New Year to you Laura, wishing you every happiness for 2021 x
So happy you are doing this--I, too, had art journaling on my agenda for 2021--so, I'll give it a go! I hope you continue the monthly challenges with the acrostic inspiration--I want to get on board with these, too.
Oh that's fantastic Teresa, it's really relaxing, I can't wait to do another spread. Have fun with yours. I hope to continue with the monthly challenges, as they are also really fun aren't they? x
These spreads are beauriful Tina. It's great to try new things. I am very new to junk journaling and absolutely love it. Also discovering new 'talents' in myself 😊. I have started an art journal as well, trying watercolouring and drawing. Not good at any of it but I enjoy doing it 🤗. Thanks for sharing
That’s fantastic, it’s great fun to try new things isn’t it? Remember we are our own worst critic when you say you are not any good at something 🙃. At the end of the day, it’s about creativity and enjoying the process, and you sound like you are having a great time 😉🙂 x
You did an absolute wonderful first art spread!! Bravo to you Tina! Thanks for a wonderful 2020 and look forward to your creativity in 2021🥰🥰
Oh thank you so much, Happy New Year to you x
I love your mass making videos! I watch you & get my goodies out & before I know it, I have a nice little stash to work with.
Oh thank you so much Tracy, it feels great to have a few ready made things to work with doesn’t it? X
I just love the spread you created Tina! I think your collaging is fantastic! Happy new year 🥳! Hugs Rachel
I love art journaling.
Hello Tina , really love 💕 your pages you did today & the other two pages . So pretty 💕💞💕
Thank you so much Fern, I really enjoyed this, and can’t wait to do more x
Great start to 2021! My favourite colour at this time of year is Yellow - I suppose I’m looking forward to daffodils and primroses! Ever the optimist, but the daffodils always happen. I have a book picked out for art journaling, I like Marta from Maremi Small Art here on TH-cam who does lovely art journal pages as well. Escapism is very very welcome at the moment! So I will join you. If I make a mess of it I have learnt to chop things up and use them for things like clusters and so on. I’d love another lapbook as well if you have time and space.
About kids going back to school......who knows??
Take care and Happy New Year 😊❤️
Oh thank you so much Sara. Yes, I love the daffodils too, they just always look so happy! Lol. I love Maremi Small Art, she does amazing things doesn't she? I am so thrilled that you are going to join me in this new adventure. It definitely brings a new freedom, that even junk journals don't seem to have. Yes, I will definitely do some more lapbooks, as I love doing them. We've had an update now, my daughter is going back to school on Monday, but my son won't be going back until the 18th, so we'll see how that goes. Happy New Year, wishing you much happiness for 2021, stay safe x
I love that your embracing art journaling...your layouts/spreads are beautiful & joyful!! I would never have guessed you were brand new to this...looking forward to more, please!! 😊🦋💛
Happy new year ...enjoyed the video , great way to start the new year
Hi dear Tina, it's a beautiful idea to go on with the art-journey 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Rachel often said that it's easier to start the collagybackround with bigger pieces and then add the little things..🤓
And really, it's easier to find the flow🤩
The pages turned out very pretty!!!
Barbara frequently explains why it's important for the eyes to see a triangle of color around the focal point...and I think it brings together the pages and looks beautiful!
Please, my dear, take a glass of water near to you otherwise your brushes will all be in the bin in a soon future 😵🤣😵🤣
How many stamps you have??
Barbara arranged all her stamps in a stamps album (in color order 😮) and so she saw all her stamps easily...perhaps it's a post for you to make your craftlife easier!?!?
Best wishes from Germany 💞🌷💞🌷
Thank you so much for your great tips and reminders. Yes, I have heard Barbara and Rachel share those tips as well, I must try and remember them! Lol. Yes I am VERY rubbish at looking after my brushes, maybe that's something else I need to work on for 2021! I do have a small tin of other stamps so I must go through some of those too, I saw Barbara's stamp album, it was very pretty to look at as well as a great idea. Hope you had a wonderful New Year x
I have been trying adding a bit of mixed media as well and really enjoying it! Looking forward to seeing what you make!
You did a good job. I'll be watching.
I love this Tina! You are my heart and soul of inspiration 💕. Thank you. I appreciate you so much!
UMMMMM just my 3¢.... But at the end of the day it really is just cut and paste. And as long as your happy with the pages you create then that's all that matters!!! So I think you should give yourself so much more credit in regards to it all..As I can clearly see you useing different "Art" teqniques or concepts in your pages such as balance of weight and color I think your off to a great start!! And by approaching it like "going with the flow / intuitive process". Is the best way going about it. As well as just picking pages throughout the book/journal. Thanks for sharing !!!
Thank you so much. You are right really, it is just a form of cut and paste, but I guess it's a nice way of being creative and artistic for those of us who can't draw or paint :-) x
I love the green ink at the end. I think it was the perfect. It is beautiful!
Your pages are pretty. Keep it up! Thanks!
So fun to see you experimenting with something new - I did that today too! Happy New Year!!
It's just lovely to try some new thing's isn't it? Happy New Year x
So lovely! Hard to believe it’s your first time, but I suppose a lot of skills carry over from one artsy craftsy thing to another. Looking forward to more of these and lots of other videos from your channel. Happy 2021 to us all! 🙏🏻💕✨
Thank you so much Jennifer, Happy New Year to you x
Beautiful and inspiring. Happy New beginnings in 2021. 🤗🇨🇦💞
Very, very nice for your first spread! 👏👏👏👍🏼🤗
I really like both of your spreads!! I would enjoy watching you make more!
Morning Tina, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family. Really enjoyed this video, seeing you doing this art journal medium, i now see where i am going wrong. i learnt so much from you today. Thank you once again. Blessings and hugs, as usual. Diana
Oh thank you so much Diana. I had such a great time doing this spread, I literally can't wait to do another! Lol. I am just playing and learning as a I go, I really hope you enjoy joining me in the journey. Happy New Year to you, wishing you every good thing for 2021 x
The page looks fabulous.
Love the collages you did in this book 😍❤️😍 super fun 😊😍 TFS 😘😘😘😘
Thank you so much Dana, I really enjoyed making this, I am so thrilled that you enjoyed it too x
Love this idea and want to try it. Yours turned out beautiful!! I'm not really fast at collaging either, I over think what I'm doing!! Have a great weekend. 💜
I know what you mean Carol I tend to overthink it too, I am hoping that this process will help. Have a great weekend too x
You’re right up there with the other gals. You did a fabulous job! Looking forward to the rest of the pages.
I want to try this so much - maybe this year I'll try - been watching a lot of mixed media collage videos - Hugs.
So now my dog, Biscuit, thinks I’m crazy. I sat here talking to you about where you should place things on your page. You followed all my advice! Good job! The page is lovely. I’m not a fan of yellow, but still this came out great. Happy New Year.
You did make me chuckle with your comment about your dog. Haha. So pleased that we were on the same wavelength as to where to place things. Strangely I'm not a big fan of yellow either, but something must have been calling to me for this project!!!! Lol. Happy New Year to you x
