Love Days Like This . . . for Art Journal Journey Monthly!

Hi everyone!

This summer in eastern Pennsylvania has been quite the adventure! We started with rain and some seriously damaging thunderstorms. Then, we went through a dry spell and are now facing a severe drought. To top it off, we’ve been dealing with smoky, hazy skies from the wildfires in Canada, which have reached dangerous levels! Yikes!

I took a break from art journaling, but this month’s Art Journal Journey theme has really sparked my interest again!

Halle from Halle’s Hobbies is hosting July, and I couldn’t resist joining in on her fun theme, “Fabric, Lace, and Trims, Oh My!”

But before I show you my project, I wanted to share a little about Art Journal Journey Monthly:

"Each month, there is a new challenge theme for you to take part in. Our participants are art-journalers, altered book artists, rubber stamp addicts, and mixed media artists from all over the world. You are invited to take part by linking via the Link tool on their site.  

Artwork created in an art journal, altered book, on canvas, or loose pages, as well as digital and fabric art of any size, is now acceptable."

Here is my project, a mixed-media art journal scrapbook page:

I had such a blast creating this page! I started by giving a 12 x 12 sheet of white Bazzill cardstock fun splatters and drips with spray inks. Then, I added a burlap circle, torn patterned paper, and orange and lime green ric-rac that I had in my stash. I machine-stitched the orange ric-rac onto my page, along with some fibers that had come loose from the orange burlap. Finally, I added my photo, title, and journaling. What fun!

Thank you so much, Halle, for hosting this month and coming up with such a fabulous theme!

Now it’s your turn! I hope you get a chance to check out Art Journal Journey this month! I know you’re going to love seeing all the beautiful entries from talented artists all over the world!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.

Happy July! ❤
