Pocket Scrapping Art Journal Challenge – Announcing a New Format and February Sponsor

Hi all, Sarah here. I’m so excited to share with you a new format for the Pocket Scrapping Art Journaling challenge starting with February. The challenges will now be weekly and anyone completing two of each month’s weekly challenges will receive a coupon code from the monthly sponsor. For more information check out my post in the forum here.

PS AJ Challenge Feb 2015

This month’s sponsor is Amy Wolff. She is contributing a $3 coupon to her store for anyone finishing the required weekly challenges. For this week’s challenge I chose to work with Amy’s It’s All Good (available for 50% off in the SOSN sale for today only).

This week’s challenge is to journal about something good in your life right now. You can find it in the forum here. This is the page I came up.

The Good Stuff

Amy has a lot of awesome product in her store perfect for an Pocket Scrapping Art Journaling page. I love using premade journal cards as a base for my pockets and this set would be a fun one to use.

Patterned papers are also fun to use as a base. Amy’s A Little Damaged products are a little grungy and just perfect.

Another fun thing that Amy does is her Mega Solid packs. Solid papers are great for journaling and these packs give you plenty of options.

Amy also created one of my favorite kits for documenting the low times in our lives.

If you are the type that likes to get messy with paint Amy’s Messy Marvin series has a lot of fun options.

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
