Get Messy: Art Journal 04

This art journal is weird. Maybe I'm weird. Definitely Yes to both. I am still trying to work out my exact style and I love that this journal is giving me the exact place to do that. This week I have really been struggling with all that is on the interwebs and feeling like I need to live up to a certain standard for them. So I took a break from Pinterest and prompts and the like and just made stuff. It was very freeing and so much less stressful. Long wordy post to come on more of that.But, here is this weeks installment of Get Messy. A collection of the most random things I ever could imagine creating in one sitting. And I love it. Also, this week we are adding the absolutely amazing Olya to our little gang of crafty vixens. Seriously, she will blow your mind.I sat down to make this and said "I need to make something pretty". Mission accomplished.I love those little Mexicans (no offense intended) but they were just perfect to add a little flair to this page. Part of my reason for doing this journal was to get some important things I've saved into a journal and this letter to myself was one of them.I've been hoarding this for almost 25 years. For reals. It was a torn out page from a book I had as a child and just couldn't throw it away. Now this kitten will live here forever more.Get Messy is an art journal challenge where we are working through some of the prompts from the A Beautiful Mess class and sharing at least 3 pages we create a week. You can see more here and check out Caylee’s gorgeous pages here , Sabines fantastic ones here, and the watercolor genius Olya here.
