Summer Art Journaling-The Skinny

Three weeks ago, I very nervously posted a chat for art journalers to begin that Friday! I was so blown away at those that came to chat and then more at the wonders of the skinnys the ladies created for the challenge that coincided with the chat. 

Now, I know it is hard for some  to get to the chats, and that is why this challenge is so comfortable.  Like your favorite pair of jeans!  SKINNY ones! lol, because we are building a page one skinny (3×12) panel a week. 

You don’t have to be in the chat, because I post all the info every week after the chat!  It has been such a blast, and seeing this Friday coming up so quickly makes me sad to see this particular challenge come to an end, but I am way excited about how the pages will finish! The GRAND finale!

Everyone who completes the 4 in one challenge will receive a gift from dear Michelle Godin this month! All entries are to be completed by July 3rd, 2013, midnight EDT. Posting  your Entries in the Art Journaling gallery HERE and of course we  follow the Lily Pad gallery rules and to make prize handouts easier for me, I have made a thread for your page also right here.  Everyone who completes the 4 in one challenge will receive a gift from dear Michelle Godin this month!  One lucky random winner will receive a gift certificate!

I have seen new art journalers and experienced alike join together to encourage and rally each other to get their pages done! It has been phenomenal!  

I have picked a few to show all three weeks together:

From trkdesigns: It’s Time To

I love that she put the 3rd skinny up front, you can see the distint three panels also:

Then this is one that has taken the each challenge and kept a running background to tie the three panels together by lorryfach:

and one more by my dear friend Cynthis (THEMrsPeel), and her vibrancy is all over, even on the black and white:

I wish I could put every single one of the skinnys up to highlight because the are all so outrageously wonderful. I am blown away at the originality and the personality that shines in each one.  So go and see them HERE!

Then join us for the chat this Friday, and or jump in for the last week!

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.
