Art Journal Every Day: New Days-of-the-Week Stamps!

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!

Happy Art Journal Every Day Friday!  I'm headed to Canada today.  And I'm *gasp* not bringing my laptop.  Feels weird to leave it behind, but I've decided that it's heavy and I'll be home again on Monday. How much could go wrong between now and Monday?  

Don't answer that.

Anywho, let's get to the art journaling!  As you may have noticed, I almost always stamp the date and day-of-the-week on my art journal pages.  And these days, it's almost always done with a hand carved stamp.  So the other day, despite the fact that I had an enormous to-do list, I decided to sit down and carve a new set of days-of-the-week stamps.  Because sometimes the urge to create is too great to ignore!  Here they are:

And here are the new stamps in use in my art journal:

You can see that I colored in the stamp in the second example.  Lots of options!

Do you carve stamps for your art journal?

Here is this week's linky list:

  • Love the stamps. Regarding your laptop, when my computer was in the shop for 2 weeks, I decided to buy a tablet ( there was NO WAY I was going to survive without my computer). What a great investment! I can easily travel with it and keep up with my blogs and email without straining my eyes by using my phone.

  • Hi, I have bad arthritis so I can’t make my own stamps and was wondering if you sold your day of the week stamps and numbers on Etsy or another site?
    I would like a set if possible

  • Oh my goodness, I love these! What a fabulous idea. I’ve just recently begun art journaling, though I’ve been collecting supplies and learning techniques for what must be years now. This is a great one. I really like that you kept the spaces open to be able to color them in. Awesome. I may just have to make a set of my own days of the week stamps. Thank you for the fantastic inspiration!
