Hello again and happy Thursday!
I’ve got two pieces of happy news:

  1. Get Messy is growing each week and we have some absolutely AMAZING talented ladies.
  2. I have two NEW pages in my art journal. That’s right, no more archives from my 2012 journal 😉
For the month of July we’re doing a prompt for our art journals. We thought it would be interesting to see how different people would interpret the same prompt. So here goes, Prompt 1- Lets have a party!
Plan a fun party! Create a collage detailing what your party will be like. Include food, drinks, décor, lighting, color scheme, dress code, place settings, location, guests, etc. Plan until your hearts content!I chose to have a Polaroid party because, well, I absolutely love taking photos, especially instant film ones and thought it would be a great kind of party to have with friends 🙂 Here is my art journal page below:

For my second non-themed page I did a very simple one. I used the lovely free printable by Vanessa and printed it on gold vellum, trimmed to fit my page, added some embellishments and voila! It’s done. I agree strongly with the quote and think that every person you meet has a great story and something wonderful to bring to the world.
20140702-234526-85526438.jpg20140702-234529-85529323.jpgGet Messy is an art journal challenge where a gang of crafty vixens are sharing art journal pages we have created to practice our skills and push past our creative limits with hopes to inspire. We share our pages without restraint every week, and once a month we create around a prompt. Go check out these crazy talented ladies who are creating pages who each have a unique perspective and style. We will be sharing our work around social media so follow the hashtag #getmessyartjournal.
