So I have been playing around in my massive Dina Wakley Art Journal.
As you can see, I am not the worlds greatest artist... lol but I was fun to create, and that is all that really matters when you're art journaling. There are not right or wrong rules.... just go for it!
I've used a variety of goodies to create her.... but pretty much all Dina's products. Paint in Ocean, Sky, Night, White, Eggplant and Lemon. I have also used my Scribble sticks, Ocean, Eggplant and Magenta. I tried out my new Stabilo all pencil... and gosh that thing is great, but when the water hits it, it sure does flow! My Stamp is also Dina's and I've used a bit of Collage paper.
Today I have been crafting away again in my Art Journal.... well my Jane Davenport Art journal actually. (Its so yummy the papers are divine)
I have used a variety of items to create my page, but most of them are from Jane Davenport Mixed Media collections 1 and 2!!
Here is the Art list:
Jane Davenport Art Journal Large Pro-Art Premium Gesso Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals Polka Purple, Guten Tag Teal Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburts Frosted Purple Iris, Delphinium Turquoise Pretty in Pink Pink Jane Davenport Inkedible Ink Mermaid Tail, Blueberry, Fresh Air Cosmic Shimmer, Purple Violet, Candy Pink. Stamperia Modeling Paste, White. Stamperia Stencils - Butterflies, Post Cards Jane Davenport Collage Papers Jane Davenport Paint in light and dark blue Jane Davenport Matte Medi-yum. Daniel Smith Luminescent watercolour - Iridescent gold Amsterdam Ink - Deep Gold Jane Davenport Mermaid Marker Black Hole Jane Davenport Epic Pen (Carbon waterproof ink) Jane Davenport Inkredible Pen - Black Ink X-Press It workable fixative spray Jane Davenport Mermaid Scales Stencil Darkroom door circle stencil Kuratake Gansai Tambi Watercolours - Big Set, Starry Colours and Gem Colours
Most of the items I have used I have bought from Bev's Cross Crafts or from Jane Davenport the other bits I've bought from online art stores here in Australia.
I did have a little trouble with my epic pen on my page, I think it was the surface I was trying to write on, more so than my epic pen - because it works fine!!
Another thing I noticed is to be extra careful with my Stamperia stencils..... I have managed to rip a little bit of one when I was giving it a clean. (It got tangled with another stencil) so that's a bit sad, but it will still work ok!
If you like my video, please give me a thumbs up and subscribe!! I would love it!!
Well it has taken me most of the day, but I have finally edited my YouTube video.... the hard way... well for me! I used my Photoshop video editing software.... thought it was about time I learn how to use it!!
So I am rather proud of myself for actually doing it... and pretty much all by myself too!!
So I have a long list of the products that I used to create my Journal.... Most of which is available at Bev's Cross Crafts - Yep my place of employment! (Lucky me!)

I did however forget to film the last part where I have attached my cord. Basically all I did was punch some holes in the fold.... one of each end about 1cm or so in from the edge and then another hole in the middle. I've then just threaded my cord through the holes to create a way for me to add in more papers to my journal.... or take them out....
I had a lot of fun creating this journal... and video.... although that was the super tricky part.. I got there and I am proud of myself for learning something new!
