If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, all the posts can be found here. Please read this post first. There is a flickr group for sharing right here. Remember, it's just ten minutes of nourishing your creative self every day! No need to finish anything or even like it.
Today is my birthday. And in the days leading up to turning thirty-five I've been thinking a lot about what that age means to me. I wanted to make some art to commemorate the event and my feelings about it. But I was caught between scrapbook and art journal — which to do?
For me, art journals most often seem like the right place for in-the-moment thoughts. Or perhaps some daily musings about the little things in your life. But then again, that's the same way I use my scrapbook pages. I like to just chat about where I am at the moment.
This, of course, brings us back to the question of what's the difference between an art journal and a scrapbook? And I say, once again, only what you – the maker – call it.
I created this art journal spread about turning thirty-five:
And this scrapbook page on the same subject:
One of the big differences between the two, for me, is in the content of my journaling. When scrapbooking I usually have the intention that someone else will end up reading my journaling. When art journaling I generally assume only I will be the reader. So what does that mean for the content?
- I write neatly (ish) in my scrapbooks. I tend to scrawl and jump from place to place in my art journal. And sometimes even cover up the journaling as I go.
- I tend to keep it fairly light and positive in my scrapbooks. I tend to be a bit more honest in my art journals.
- The addition of a mysterious "ing" to the word "still" in my journaling on that scrapbook page is making me crazy. I've thought about redoing the page because of it. However misspellings and things that don't make sense, don't bother me a bit in my art journal.
- Writing in my scrapbooks generally needs to stay in a certain confined area. In my art journals I just put it wherever and write until I'm done speaking.
There are some other differences, of course.
- My scrapbook pages tend to be more graphic and use more white space. My art journal pages are almost always filled to the brim.
- I almost always art journal in a bound book. My scrapbook pages are almost always loose 12×12 sheets of paper.
- I tend to manipulate and cover photos more in my art journal. In my scrapbook pages the photos stand alone.
But maybe the biggest difference is in my intention in what each will become. I mean for my scrapbook pages to be finished pieces. When I'm done with them, they go into the book and I'm done. My art journal pages are more fluid. I go back into them months later. I make additions and subtractions constantly. I guess I would sum it up by saying that I'm marching towards a finished product when I scrapbook, and I'm meandering and exploring when I art journal.
What do you think? What's the difference between art journaling and scrapbooking for you?

for me, art journaling is more about the story i want to tell and it’s usually messy. there’s no reason or theme. i just go with whatever feels good. i feel like my scrapbooking is more about the products and how i can best showcase them to include my photos and stories. i like pretty things so both ways work for me.

Happy Birthday Julie!!!! I love both your pages for your big day. Thanks for telling us how you differ between both. It makes sense and I feel the same way about mine. The art journal is more of a ME thing just for ME and my scrapbooks are for the family and about the family. I like that one is messy and the other is more neater just as you mentioned.
Have a great day and many good wishes to you this year!!!

Happy Birthday, Julie! I don’t scrapbook, so I only know about the art journaling side of the story. I agree that for me, it is definitely a place that is private, messy, wild, experimental…and not always for public consumption.

Happy Birthday! This was the perfect post for me today- I am struggling on how to scrapbook and art journal in one book and you have pointed out the difference so clearly – now I know why I have been conflicted when I try to do art scrapbooking!

Happy Birthday to You! Thanks for sharing your distinctions between the two . There is a lot of overlap but major differences too. I suspect the word I’m looking for is ‘reveal.’ Your post gives us a lot to thinkmabout and decide for ourselves.
Enjoy your day and here’s to many more!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Awesome post and so true. I scrapbook and art journal and people who see my journal just don’t “get it” while on the other hand, they love to look through my scrapbooks. It’s prob just like you said, in my scrapbooks I create with the intention for others to see it, while journaling is mainly meant for me :)Happy Birthday again, I hope your day is wonderful!

Scrapbook pages are for anyone to view from my albums.
Art journal pages are for me and more private.

Your thoughts on the difference between the two are so right. I tend to scrapbook to preserve the memory and I just play in the AJ’s. Like you, a page changes over time. It’s a great place to experiment.

Happy birthday! such a timely post I was struggling with the same thing. my daughter reads my art journal – so some of what i write gets hidden and what if my kids save them after i die!! but i do like to write down my thoughts so i do hide ones i do not want read in the future. my scrapbooks on the other hand i think are just too structured – i want them to be more arty and i just cannot figure out how! How about a class on that ? -:)

Happy Happy Birthday Julie, you young chickie you!!! Hope the celebration continues into the weekend!
I agree with you about AJ v SB: in my art journals and experiment and spill, making it more therapeutic. When I scrapbook, its more of documenting for many, rather than just me.
Have a blast at CHA!

My wish for you is that this, your 35th year, be one of continued blessings, good health and all the happiness your heart can hold!

Happy Birthday! Love the idea of reflecting on life’s path so far at a birthday. Also, I feel the same about my AJ vs. Scrapbook pages. I like the randomness of my journal, that I can stick scattered pieces of my mind and day into it.

Happy Birthday Julie! I hope your day is magical! I think my thought process is similar to yours about scrapbook vs art journal. For me the main difference is that my art journal pages are more personal and experimental; but really, it’s just more of a gut feeling. Very hard to explain! Thanks for sharing!

Happy Birthday Julie!!!! Hope your day is all that you hope it to be! I enjoy my art journals so much more than any scrapbook layout I have ever done. I feel free when playing in my journals, I can be totally myself. With a layout I feel constrictive in how and what I do. Since I have started working in my journals I have not done one scrapbook page! Never thought that would happen!!!!

I am a newcomer to your blog and have really enjoyed it, both practically and artistically. I read and was inspired by your organization blog, but most of all I enjoyed the creativity blog earlier this month. I have gone back to try and find it again, but cant’. Could you tell me where it is located?
Happy birthday, BTW!

I read and was inspired by your organization blog, but most of all I enjoyed the creativity blog earlier this month. I have gone back to try and find it again, but cant’. Could you tell me where it is located?

I totally agree with you, my AJ pages are fair game for endless tinkering but my scrapbook pages are usually completely done when they’re done. The exception is if a glaring design flaw pops up when I photograph them – then I’ll tinker and bit before I’m done.

If it helps, I read your journalling on your scrapbook page and never saw the misspelling until I read about it in the post and went back to find it.
Love your take on the difference between your art journal and scrapbook pages. I’d have to agree.

Happy Birthday, you Phenomenal Woman, you!! I hope this next year is stuffed with promise, and is your best year ever!!
For me, scrapbooks are to capture a moment in a picture, with some words. Art Journaling is for ME – not necessarily to be shared; tons of words, some paint and/or rubber stamps, but rarely (if ever) a photo.

First of all – Happy Birthday!
I think that you made it really clear to me why I’m having hard time starting with art journaling. When I see your (and others) art journaling, it makes me wanna “join the party”. but I have to let my self be more free in what I do, not do it so neatly, not be worried about others to see… I think in general I need to be more ME, and not be afraid of myself… I’m not giving myself a chance to think free. Must change it. Need to figure out how. Strange that I’m allowing myself to write it here 🙂
Going to leave a comment @ SC’s blog… I WANT TO WIN YOUR ONLINE CLASS 🙂

I only recently began to explore my artistic side and I’ve learned so much from you in that short span of time. You have the perfect blend of technical know-how, candid creativity, wit, and humor. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Happy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Julie!

Hi and Happy Birthday!
Scrapbooking vs. Art journaling…hmmm….to me, Scrapbooking brings to mind preserving sugary memories with dainty clean slick layouts, which doesn’t quite “do” it for me.
I much prefer doing a raw, primative, raucous, wet mixed-media visual journal instead! Somehow, that frees me to express myself much better.

Happy birthday, Julie. Today (1/27) also is my birthday. I am celebrating my 69th, though. Oh, to be 35 again and know what I now know and have the time and freedom I now have to do what I love and want to do.
Your approach to art and your energy are inspiring. Thank you for continuing to fill our lives with joy for this and many more years to come.

I just watched your JumpStart video and was thoroughly mesmerized. As I mentioned on the JS page, you really helped me get over my several days, or has it been a week (yikes), of doing nothing. My studio is a mess and I’ve got so many projects half done that I didn’t know where to start. I need to let go of the perfection thing and you really helped me with kicking the fears. Thanks, Julie! And hope your birthday was a super one. May you have many more. I love the way you create and what you create!

hope your Birthday is wonderful and you get up to some great stuff there!
Lovely idea with the book, its a good way to make sense of the changes and events of your life, at this point. For me, the journal is the thing – not a scrappie girl really.
its the freedom and space in the journal I like. The writing and just making sense of life on the page, is what I love!
Thanks for such spirited advice and inspiration, always.
have a sparkling Birthday and night,
wishing you much joy and creative energy and strength!

I didn’t read this post in time so…happy belated birthday Julie! Wow, you are at a marvelous place in life for 35! Scrapbooking for me is more about the pictures and the stories (and I have been doing Project Life since 2009) and my art journal is definitely for playing, experimenting and whatever I feel like. I also make ATCs based on many of the fun ideas and techniques you have taught me on your blog THANK YOU so much!

Scrapbooking for me is more about the pictures and the stories (and I have been doing Project Life since 2009) and my art journal is definitely for playing, experimenting and whatever I feel like. I also make ATCs based on many of the fun ideas and techniques you have taught me on your blog THANK YOU so much!
