ArtJournalEveryDayLogo-150If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, there is a short introduction here.  All of the previous posts can be found archived here.  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.  If you've done some art journaling this week and you've blogged about it, or put it on flickr, please leave a link in the linky list at the end of this post.  Thanks!

Just a quick reminder that my online class "30 Days in Your Junque Journal" starts on Monday!  You can sign up any time and never ever lose access.  If you're interested in learning exactly how I create my art journal pages step-by-step, this is the class for you!  You don't need to have a junque journal to take the class.  Any journal will do!

Now, onto some daily pages:

1-BlueSkies-wm

The sentiment on this page may look familiar to you.  I used it on a scrapbook page back in May!

Here's a peek at some page details:

In the photo above you can see that I journaled, didn't like it, painted over it, and journaled again!

There's a tag at the center of this page that lifts to reveal a woman.

I believe that she is a Matisse painting I borrowed.
