Art Journal Caravan... what a ride this is going to be!

What is the matter with me? I ask myself that on a regular basis. Honestly, can I not stop clicking those buttons. As you know I have been getting hooked on digital art, well not getting hooked, who am I kidding? I AM HOOKED!!! Bingo!!! Look what I found over at Scrapbookgraphics, the Art Jouranl Caravan! WOW!! This looks so exciting, read the itinerary Debby! Oh, looks even better, should I? Nah, better not. Well maybe I better read this one more time, sounds so interesting. Yes!! Now is sounds totally right for me..LOL...CLICK!!! Oh boy, I am now a Caravan Girl! What fun...Okay, lets get serious here, this is an amazing project, really. A 52 week ride on the Caravan with our tour guide Tangie Baxter, love her stuff. I am jumping on the caravan 7 weeks behind, but that is okay, we can play when we have the time. The Caravan girls get a new challenge, quote, prompts and special kits every Friday, so much fun and so amazing! I am not good at journalling, I do not like using lots of words in my work, this is going to be a challenge and maybe, just maybe by week 52 I may like to get those words and quotes in there, we will see. It really doesn't matter as it will be my very own journal, beautiful and unique when I am done riding anyway, it is for me. 

I have decided to go with a 5x7 journal, no covers yet, that may be my last project as I have no clue what I want my cover to be. I will probably mix things up for the ride as that is what they would like us to do, digital and mixed media.

 So with that being said here is my Week #1 Itinerary, the theme this week was "One Word" to focus on for the whole year. I chose Dreams.

I have used elements from The Steamer Trunk/ Week #1 Itinerary & Junque Journal all by Tangie Baxter and Steampunk by Maya!




Stop over and checkout the Art Journal Caravan as there is lots of time to join in the fun!

Debby,

What an exciting project! I'll bet you work well with deadlines. They really do motivate me into creativity and judging by your first page, it obviously does you as well.

I love the color contrast. Great!

Best,

What a fun idea -- I will be watching your blog to see how your journalling turns out. I am always envious of all the journal writers out there. Although I love art and words, I seldom seem to combine them together.

Terri said...

Debby, I love your enthusiasm! This sounds just wonderful and I know you are going to grow with it and enjoy it.
I love your theme, lots of room in there to work with. Your #1 is fab, I love the colors and the "passport to dreams" flower.
Woohoooo for you!
