Hello Beautiful!
Today I'm sharing three journals I painted for the conference vendor fair I did last weekend.
But first, I want to let you know that tomorrow is the last day to sign up for Sarah's class!
I’ve been taking classes from Sarah for the last two years and love her teaching style.
She breaks information into understandable blocks. I learned Ps and worked independently to clean up my artwork and complete patterns. I highly recommend Sarah, so much so that I became an affiliate to help share information about the class. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! I'd be happy to share my experience.
Now onto the journals!!
This painting adventure started as a request. In June, I spoke at one of Dr. Carmen's Zoom events about the different ways to journal and the benefits of journaling. She saw a journal I made for myself and loved the look of it. Last weekend I attended a Women's Conference in Lansing, Michigan, hosted by Dr. Carmen, who asked me to make a journal as a giveaway during the conference. I had so much fun making it I made a couple more to sell at my vendor table.
I used acrylic paint and a variety of stencils to decorate the covers. All the stencils are from StencilGirl®. I used stencils from my collections at StencilGirl®, Wendy and my collection, and my August 2021 StencilClub set.
I love using disc journals! There are a host of paper designs you can order, plus you can purchase a punch and put in whatever type of paper you want. You can move your papers around. I ordered the journal covers from Amazon and added a variety of papers - lined, graph, storyboard, blank, to-do lists, hot pressed, and bristol. Most papers are from Levenger, where I first got hooked on disc journals.
I used paint mediums and sealers before and after painting and various acrylic paints from my stash.
I love the look of creating layers that build upon each other.
