Journalfest 2011 Art Classes start with Carla Sonheim!

Last week I started writing about Journalfest and realized it was way to much writing for one post – so here is installment #2 and you can scroll down to previous posts if you want to start at the beginning. Day 2 – the classes begin. Class number one was with Carla Sonheim, a hero [...]

Journalfest 2011 – My Miraculous Vacation – Keep an Art Journal

It’s a miracle – I got to go to Journalfest 2011! Sometimes miracles feel like a lot of work, but in the end a miracle is a miracle and who is gonna say no to that? Getting to Journalfest was a major part of the experience! I left Denver in a heavy snowstorm, getting de-iced [...]

More Art Journal Pages ala Kelly Kilmer|Keep An Art Journal

I just downloaded a new photo editor software and am trying it out. Mainly all I need to do is crop, rotate and re-size.  But I need to do all that without sacrificing the picture quality. The new software is GIMP and is a free download. My man says it does everything Photoshop does but [...]

Kelly Kilmer – July Art Journaling Classes

On the last Friday in July I treated myself to a Kelly Kilmer IRL (In Real Life) Art Journaling Workshop! Kelly comes to Colorado once  a year and once or twice a year to Arizona. I do my best to make it to at least one of her art journaling classes. The Colorado classes this [...]

Think Outside the Book – samantha kira harding

The July/August issue of Cloth Paper Scissors, one of my favorite magazines, had an article by Samantha Kira Harding. It was titled Think Outside the Book. I loved the idea, the only problem? I’m not much for sewing.  In school, when starting 7th grade all the girls were required to take Home-Ec  so I know [...]

Class Notes again

I am coming to the end of my class where  I have been taking my notes in Art Journaling form – I am also coming to the end of my Journal that has been serving as my class notebook. Would I do it again? I think so. It was hard to take notes on the [...]

Art Journaling Every Day – More Class notes

To clear up a misunderstanding from the last post – I am using this notebook for notes in a classroom-type class. It is not an art class or a journaling class it is a class I take on Monday nights with Landmark Education. Landmark is a Global Educational Company that provides an affordable and quick [...]

Art Journaling Every Day – What About in a Class Notebook?

I’m taking a series of classes with Landmark Education. I haven’t tried to do art journaling AND class notes together before – but every blank page is an opportunity right? This notebook was started last Halloween. I went to Ft. Lauderdale to combine taking the class with a visit with my sister.  She was working [...]

Art Journaling Every Day – Keep An Art Journal

Motivation is low when the temperatures are low – just want to hibernate. February started out in the minuses, as in minus seven degrees – AAACCCKKK! I had to do something! So I joined up with Julie Fei-Fan’s online Art Journaling Every Day. And I find myself motivated again. Whew. The idea of Art Journaling [...]
