First, thank you. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments! The lavish praise feels so nice and I really appreciate it!!
Secondly, I went to teach at The City Quilter today and a few of my students told me that they are obsessed with art journaling due to Art Journaling Week. One student shared that she hasn't done dishes or laundry this week. She has let all responsibilities drop so that she can participate in art journaling week! Got to love that! Check out some of the journal pages they brought in to show off:
That gold snowflake-y thing in the spread above is a piece of a paper napkin!!!
Liz made her art journal from loose papers and some old book covers she found on the mean streets of New York City! How cool is that?
How about you? Are you obsessed?
And now, Answers to Questions:
Q: I would love to share all of my art work that you've inspired. As you may remember, I am a high school teacher. I would also love to share my students' journals because they were also inspired by you. But, alas, I don't have a blog.
A: No worries! You can still share your art journal pages! Upload them to a free site like flickr or photobucket.
Q: On the video you said you were using a small round brush. what size was that?
A: The really small one is a size 0.
Q: Where do you find your quotes? I have looked on line, but rarely find ones there. Maybe I am looking on the wrong sites.
A: There are lots of great resources online. I like Brainy Quote and the Quote Garden. But I find most of my quotes in books or magazine articles and save them in a little quote inspiration notebook.

Obsessed? Me? Noooooo….oops! Ok, I never thought there could be something that was more fun and addicting than scrapbooking. I’m off to buy some decent paintbrushes and a white marker now!

Thanks so much for last Saturdays class at Ink Pad!! I almost went to City Quilter yesterday. I decided to go used book hunting instead. I’m thinking about heading there today though.
I didn’t get a chance to participate in art journaling week – but I bookmarked everything for future reference. Thanks!!!

I forgot to mention the great pages I just saw, inspired by this art journaling week! It is so great to get some starting points, each time. Here is my page in which I tried the masking technique: http://sandrascrapcreaties.blogspot.com/2010/08/art-journaling-part-three-feel-free.html

Julie, thank you so much for this fabulous and inspirational week. Though I personally didn’t get a chance to participate (spent the week prepping for today’s yard sale, and the arrival of 10 day house guests on Monday)I loved your posts, the guest posts, and the shared art, questions, discussion. As often happens with all of this wonderful online sharing, I made a new flickr friend too! Thanks for bringing us all together with this fabulous art!!

Thank you so much for a wonderful, inspiring class. I was so excited to see the blank journal I made this week in your post. I can’t wait to fill the pages with all the new techniques we learned.

Just back from vaca and I didn’t want to bring my scrapbooking supplies, so I packed up one bag for art journaling and what fun it was! One of the guys on vaca with us gave me great kudos for the combo of my art and the quotes I used. Thanks for this week Julie (as I work my way through it after the fact)!
