Hello All,Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to the lovely Amy.....I was so lucky to win some of her November Candy and I have used the fabulous stamp Eira that she gave me, on my first ever Art Journal Page.
I am so so nervous about posting this....I have never done an art journal before...this is not really my style at all but I would love to give it a go, I followed Gez last year as she did her pages, and so I would Love to join Kathryn in this challenge too........Hopefully by the time I reach December I may have improved somewhat, and I will probably look back on this page and laugh!!!
Also I wanted to say thank you for all the comments regarding the fact that I should share all styles of crafting on the same blog.....That is kind of what I wanted to do, I just needed reassurance that that was the right thing, so Thank you!!!
Thanks for looking!
Hugs Juls

FABULOUS FABULOUS!!
ReplyDeleteFAB page! My favourite things are the running commentary along the edges and that white embossed chandalier :-) Thanks for your comments. It's an adventure if nothing else! Looking forward to seeing some more pages....
ReplyDeleteThis is really wonderful. I love, love, love the journaling that you did on the left side. I definitely think you will enjoy this. Here's my take on posting different kinds of crafts- post it all- anything you make! I have adhd when it comes to crafts- I really can't decide on what I like best so I just throw it all in there. I think if you can put together beautiful cards like you do, then journaling is just another way of arranging elements in a pleasing way, which you obviously have a gift for. Sorry so long, but I really wanted to encourage you in your new journaling adventure- just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour pages are wonderful, love the colour, the chandelier, image and squares go so well together.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are joining us I'm sure you will love it, well done.

Hi Juls! Great start to the calendar challenge!! I love the fact that her dress has a snoflake like tutu!!! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more of your pages, and thanks for the nice words you left on my calendar page.
Hi Juls
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely coment on my blog. Firstly, crafting is ALL a learning curve, 2ndly you will look back over it & you will laugh, not at the quality or standard but at the fun things you recorded.
It's a fantastic page to start the challenge and i'm sure it will be well worth while at the end of the month let alone the year. Looking forward to seeing the finished page at the end of Jan :)
Wow! A fab page, you would never know it's your first art journal page! I love the fairy stamp and the chandelier. Looking forward to seeing more of your pages! Thanks for your comments on my blog x
ReplyDeleteCool Juls! Can't wait to see how you progress! And I agree, share everything on the one blog then we can see everything you're up to!
ReplyDeleteI have decided to do this too this year and am new to it, just waiting for my journal book to arrive so I can get cracking. Can't wait....we can learn together. Thanks for the comment too.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous Juls.
ReplyDeleteHugs Riet.x

This is gorgeous, Juls !!!! I love the colours you've used and the doodling around the edge is fab. Can't wait to see next month's.
ReplyDeleteYou really don't need to be nervous about posting that - it's lovely. The ice princess and her chandelier are gorgeous, and I really like the way you have laid out the days (such delicate papers too).
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me, and your lovely comments.

Your calender journal spread is beautiful, Juls! I'd never ever guess that it was your very first spread!!! Awesome work! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving your sweet comment. I'm really looking forward to this project. Hugs, Terri
ReplyDeleteGood for you Juls - go girl. What a great start to keeping an art journal - it's all about experimenting isn't it.

ReplyDeletexx coops xx
This is so cool looking Juls! I love your layout of the squares and how you've drawn a border on some and sewn around others, and the writing along the edge is fabulous! You've used Eira beautifully and I've never seen a style that you've tackled that you haven't done gorgeously and you make it look so easy! This art journal is way cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat layout Juls - good luck with journaling - too daunting for me I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteBeryl xx

Nice to meet you Juls, and thanks for visiting my blog. Love your first journal page, and look forward to seeing how it looks filled in!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great art journal page, Juls! I love that you're trying out various styles - all of us truly obsessed crafty people have to dabble in lots of things :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your calendar page!!! Awesome start. Have fun with your art journaling!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Juls - your first pages look great! I think joining in challenges such as this 365 calendar one is a great way to meet new friends (albeit in cyber land!) and also a great way to be inspired with differing styles - all good stuff! Glad to meet you and look forward to seeing your calendar unfold :) x
ReplyDeleteWow I love your blog Juls. So much variety and so very well done. The journal is looking great too. Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a lovely comment. xxjeanie g
ReplyDeleteI love your opening pages Jules, your stamp is beautiful. We will have to make sure that we hang on in there lol. I think it will be interesting to see how we improve 'cos I know I will do thing differently next month. Saying that,how it looks in my head and how it ends up on paper are two different things :o) x
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment on my page :) I love your calendar page :) It looks so serene. In fact it was the first time I did a calendar page myself. I see that most people use acrylic paint on their pages and I used ink for the background. That explains the bright colors. To be honest I had no idea what I was doing ;)
ReplyDeleteI think your calendar page looks great, Juls! Bravo to you for stepping out & trying a new style for you.
