Don’t worry. This isn’t the kind of Throwback Thursday where you have to see a photo of me with braces and curly bangs and pretend I was cute. We have a little break between Get Messy Art Journal seasons, so Julia wisely suggested we go…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Words, Week 6
It’s the final week of this season of the Get Messy Art Journal program (learn all about it here), and the inevitable has happened: I have run out of ideas and thoughts and brain power and found myself quoting Justin Bieber. There is a little…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Words, Week 5
I don’t have much in the way of actual words to share this week (which… let’s be honest… you’re likely 900% okay with this). I stuck to basic materials (scissors, paper, magazines, glue and a few pens) and made some equally basic pages. Sometimes basic…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Serenity, Week 3
So I got a tiny bit brave today and made my first Periscope broadcast, doing a little flip-through of my sketchbooks and art journals. You can watch it here… until it expires and vanishes… or whatever happens to Periscopes? Clearly I have a lot to learn…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Serenity, Week 1
I’m so happy the latest season of the Get Messy Art Journal challenge has begun (I’m also so excited about this season’s theme: Serenity!). I seem to lose momentum between seasons and realize how much I benefit from the community, structure and accountability of this…
