This is one of my favorite art journal pages-I just love it! I designed it in Nov.2011 by covering up a monstrosity of a page. Normally I believe all AJ pages should be left as a testament to where you are going & where you've been but as there are no rules in AJ... so I covered up my Godzilla page & turned it into this piece of awesomeness. I started by covering the entire old page with acrylic paint. I spritzed black glimmer mist using circle stencils, randomly. Next I took a black piece of card stock & using THoltz's tag die with some movers & shapers cut out the arrow & car. Those pieces were glued to my page & doodled with Uniball Signo White gel pen-my favorite white pen. The tag was run through the clock face texture fade. I spritzed it with perfect pearls mist-awesome on black & hit the high points of the embossing with white paint. I added some more paint with punchinella & some tissue tape on the tag. I added fibers to the tag, than adhered it to my page. A few more stamps & some writing, my favorite page was done! YAYA. The writing is important too-"I need to remember to Enjoy the Journey not rush through my life just trying to get my list done."

  2. Thanks! Of course you can do it, just get a journal my favs are the Canson mixed media. Start with 7x10 or smaller. Slap some ink, paint or stencil back ground, add ephemera & some words! Go for it & good luck!
