art journal pockets of inspiration

i have been meaning to start a new quote journal but i think i have morphed the idea into something else! instead of a new book to work in, why not art journal pockets! this gives me a really good way to incorporate my want to do this with a new project i am taking on which is being a part of tangie baxter's creative crew!

i used have a cork board that was COVERED positive quotes that i had collected. even friends started writing positive quotes down for me when they found them and knew i would like them, many written on post-its or other colorful paper. the majority of them were somewhat damaged when i had to take them down off my desk when i left work. I still have them and wanted to transfer or re-write them into a new journal, but i think pockets would be a much better idea!

i'll be working on that and the october challenges challenge 02-two part animal and challenge 3-a world of octobers this week, I's so very excitied!

WOYWW #3

i got a late start today and didn't get to my desk or to my WOYWW until now.

my workspace this evening with the best socks ever!  i'm watching a video of tamara laporte for background inspiration because this is one of the spreads i have been stuck on. i plan on working through that tonight. remember, if you'd like to follow along with WOYWW you can do so here.

what it my journal spread looks like, this evening, as i begin working on it.  

collaging with some torn up pages of a book.

layer of watercolor crayons.

and since it's dinner time, i'll stop here and let this dry.

and i am so excited to be a part of tangie baxter's free art journal pockets class! things are coming together and i can't wait to start creating. come on over and check it out!
