Today’s page for “I’ve got a notion” over at Art Journal Journey (which I happen to be hosting this month) is a departure from what I’ve have done so far.  All my previous pages have been loose leaf style and have went into my planner journal. I decided to go back to my roots with art journaling. This book is nearly filled to the brim with journal pages. It kind of got lost in the shuffle and I forgot it even existed…until now.

I once again used sewing pattern paper in the background. It always provides good texture as a backdrop. I did some simple layering of scraps to form mini collage areas ripe for text.

I also used some flowers I stamped on book page and fussy cut. The words came from a Tim Holtz sticker book, but what really cracks me up and I only noticed when writing this post…there is a spelling error. The i is missing from possibilities. Makes me feel a bit better about my own typos and grammatical errors that inadvertently get published.

This is definitely not my favorite page of the bunch. But I’m ok with that. It’s about the process sometimes. Muddling through. Practicing. Honing your skill.

Won’t you join me for I’ve got a notion .
