Art Journaling Adventure

I haven't been much of a blogger lately..hah! But, I just had to come here and talk about my new obsession (er...) LOVE! ART JOURNALING! Talk about really cool stuff! It's a great way to get feelings down on paper and then just send them off to the universe. It also allows me to explore art styles that are completly different from my normal clean/simple scrapbooking style. AND...it's a great excuse to buy more supplies! LOL!

First up is a Self Portrait for the Auguts Adventure Quest:




Next is one that I translated from a doodle I made at work. I have been really frustrated with some network changes going on at work...culminating in my hanging out with the Help Desk for 2 hours while they downloaded some patches on my computer. Sigh...Not...A...Happy...Camper. (Orange is my irritated color!)



What am I going to do with these? My plan is to print them and put them in a binder. I don't know what kind of  binder yet. But I don't think I'll be using page protectors. The self portrait is 8 1/2 x 11; the Waiting is 5 1/2 x 8. I think I want to use that size for my journal...but I haven't decided yet. I might be cool to have different sized layouts. We'll see.

I do have some layouts from my Alaska Cruise. My plan is to print them out and send completed albums to each of the families on the trip. Tomorrow I'll share some of those layouts...
