For my final 2012 wrap-up post, here are my favorite non-scrapbooking and non-art journaling projects from 2012:
I feel like this has been an artistic transition year for me and as a result these projects feel a little all over the place. People often tell me that I have a strong and recognizable style, but looking at these projects I'm not sure I can describe it. Maybe bright colors and a strong black line?
I'm a bit surprised by how few sewing projects are here in this roundup. Just one: the purse. I love sewing and I want to get back to doing a lot more of it in 2013!
And, of course, I can't share any of the stamping projects I did for my book. But, I carved about a million stamps in 2012. Correction: a million *awesome* stamps. ;)
Hope you enjoyed this round-up of favorites!
Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. This is your last day to get the bargain basement price of $150 for a full year of online classes with me. It's going to be an awesome year! Don't miss out! "Getting Started with Color Mixing" starts tomorrow! :)

Very cool stuff! I love the first purse you show, are those turquoise like stones glued to the purse or a material that looks like it? Way cool! For some reason the gift tags I find really yummy too! I’ve been wanting to “jazz” up some handmade tags but didn’t get to it this year.. And that really neat necklace how did you make the beaded part, I love that part of the necklace did you have classes on how to make any jewelry? Have a Happy New Year!! 🙂

There is such a thing as your style — it’s called Julie Style! More seriously (but no less true) you are fearless with your line and colors; you are bold with subject matter (never small or timid); you are courageous with new materials and methods; your are a person of infinite heart and it shines through your work and into all of us. I know you are blushing because you are a humble person that knows it takes work and community to improve. I am thankful that I continue to be part of your journey as an artist through this blog and your classes.

What a cool paint brush!
You have inspired me so much this year. I doubt I ever would have started art journaling if I I hadn’t discovered your blog. Thank you and may you have a lovely 2013!

Art Journal in 30 Days – now I am journaling without fear, using gel medium and watercolor paint and acrylic paint and gesso and deli paper
December Cocoa Daisy Kit – I discovered a new binder for journaling every day, and the simplicity of 6×6 prepped pages
InterWeave “Faces” Video – I’ve painted two faces on fabric
Podcasts – kept me company on the plane this holiday, and on the treadmill! Turned me on to a book by Jenn Mason, and another crazy book about toilet paper origami :0. Gave me new perspective about weeds.
Your daily blog – Always interesting! First place I come!
Journal It! – Awesome perspective from other journalers. Haven’t tried any challenges yet but I hope to.

Oooooh, how did I miss that the B&W face with hands on her face??? That is great, Julie! Love those butterflys, too, so much in fact that I had to buy that stencil. Thanks for all your inspiration. Happy 2013 to you and yours!

There are several items that I would not have picked out as yours in the above collection. It’s funny, in the past I have gone through scrappy mags and said oh that is so Julie only to discover that it was in fact done by you.
