What better way to end my Sisterhood of the Traveling Art Journal than with paint splashes! This project was so much fun to be a part of, and I think I would do it again in the future.
This turned out so bright and fun and a perfect way to express my love of art. This is an easy page to create, and it would be cute as a card or a scrapbook page.

Hello everyone!
It has been a while and I wanted to show you the recent art journal pages I have been creating for the Brooklyn Sketchbook Library.
I have really enjoyed doing a collage on all the pages. The first one I want to show you is space shuttle bird collage. I reused some pieces from a previous collage and created this page. You can see the tutorial here:
I really love how this one turned out, a little funky and a little cute.
The other page I wanted to show you is this Egyptian Butterfly cat collage page. This one is a little weird, but really fun to create. Here is the video:
Both of these pages were super fun and I am excited to create the last few pages in this book. There is a certain amount of freedom with collage art and I love exploring this art style.

Hello Everyone!
Today I have another page for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Art Journal. The theme was a favorite word or quote. I really loved this theme, it was fun to look at different quotes and see what I want to represent in an art journal page
The quote I chose was “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” Carl Sagan
This means a lot me because I love to go on adventures and to discover new things.
I had so much fun playing with my Dylusions paint creating this night sky background and mountain range.
I added some washi tape and rhinestones, and a beautiful stencil in the sky to finish out my scene.
What is your favorite word or quote that you have journaled or would like to journal?

Hello Everyone!
I have this art journal that is getting a little big to work in, lol. It very puffy and unwieldy, so I decided that I am done creating in it. So I filmed an art journal tour so you can see all the pages I created in my journal
Some of the pages I did video tutorials and some of the pages I did not. It was fun to create and explore in this journal, and it was fun to look back at my growth.
I explored so many different techniques and styles, this was my safe space. A journal where I could explore and create without always worrying if it was “right” or not.
I did have some extra blank pages at the end of the journal, so I removed them to use them later. I really like this journal (it is a Ranger journal) the paper held up to all the different mediums I used. I love the larger size, I will be repurchasing this same journal to continue my journey.
I am excited to keep creating and to finish more journals.
Have you completed a journal and what is your favorite one to work in?

Hello Everyone!
I am trying something new, and that is doing the art challenge for Oddball Art Co! I am in love with her designs! I just found her (I know, I am behind the times, lol) but now that I found her I want all the digi stamps, lol
I was inspired by the theme, which is “Life Size Leprechauns and Unlucky Clovers.”
I found this fantastic cat on her website I knew that the cat should be on a rock in a field of clovers.
I used college elements for the rock and the four leaf clovers. I used dictionary pages for the background with distress ink, paint, and stencil.
By adding butterflies and dots and quotes to the page I was able to add a lot more interest. I am really loving challenges, I think it allows me to grow as an artist and expand my abilities.
This was such a fun challenge, and I can’t wait for next month’s challenge.
If you would like to participate you can find all the info here:

Hello Everyone!
In a few months my husband and I will be taking a short trip to Las Vegas! It will be nice to get away and have a small vacation. Since I was so excited I decided to create a no sew junk journal to put all the tickets and postcards and other goodies in.
I used an old text book as the base and added some fabulous purple Elvis fabric and glitter paper for the spine
For the papers inside I used Vegas maps, glitter paper, holographic papers, and other random paper I had in my stash. It was fun to pull out some fun papers and adhere them into to the book in preparation for my trip.
What junk journals have your created for your travels?

Hello Everyone!
Today I am painting this Prima Princess water color art journal page and doing a little story time. I wanted to talk about why I started Take Time to Create and what it means to me.
I am passionate about taking time to create everyday and that is what I encourage everyone to do. We are all so busy and running from here to there that we forget to stop and relax and to create. Creating can be anything from art to gardening to cooking. Whatever you need to do to feel creative.
Creating everyday helps keep my stress at bay and having a blog and YouTube channel keeps me on schedule and motivated to provide content to you guys. It is what works for me and I love it. I enjoy creating and sharing!
I love teaching and seeing what you guys create.
What do you create? What do you to keep the stress at bay?

Hello Everyone!
Today we have a page for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Art Journal and this journal’s theme is New Beginnings.
I love this theme, and it reminded me of springtime and caterpillars turning into butterflies.
This page is an update to the vintage pattern collage girls that I have done in the past. You can visit that blog post here:
Vintage Sewing Pattern Collage
It was a lot of fun to revisit this technique and improve upon the designs and add more detail. The traveling art journal is expanding my boundaries and helping me be more creative.
I hope you enjoyed this take in new beginnings. What makes you think of a new beginning and how would you journal it?

Hello Everyone!
I have another page for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Art Journal. This theme was a little harder for me, and really challenged me creatively, but in the end I think I found a creative way to approach this theme.
So the theme of this journal is medieval gypsy. I am not sure exactly what that means so I just went with the medieval part, specifically the legend of the Sword in the Stone.
I love this story, and this page reflect this. I created a rock out of fabric, and the background is textured with tissue paper and colored with dylusions sprays.
The best part of this page is that the sword actually goes up and down! So much fun!
I am really loving how this Sisterhood program that I am in really helps me expand my boundaries and stretch my creativity. I can’t wait to see what next month will bring!

Hello Everyone!
Junk journals are all the over the internet right now! I have always loved junk journals and I want to show you how I create mine.
I use my journals to try out new products or when I go on vacation I like to take my journal and fill it with all the goodies I find along the way like tickets and postcards.
These are so much to make with a vintage pattern. I add all kinds of emphrema and washi tape and bits and bobs from my studio.
For the binding I like to stitch the side, but you can use a long stapler if you want. I add a ribbon to keep it all together.
These are so much to make and I like to take mine everywhere!
If you try it out let me know how it works for you.
