![Mixed media art journal with printable washi paper #mixedmediajournal #artjournal #printables
Just start with a splash of ink
The rest will just flow and there is no right or wrong. Just let the images, color and texture direct you!
Mixed media art journaling is good for your soul!
I started with some uncharted mariner oxide ink. Add the polar grids from My Flowers Stamp pack from @ardencreativestudio and some of the handwriting stamps from the Letter Box Postmarks Stamps
I printed a paper design from katiepertietdesigns.com onto washi sticker paper for the palettes and they provided the perfect foundation to layer an ephemera cluster over made with laser cuts from the @ardencreativestudio Been There Collection It was that easy

Tearing it up to create an artsy foundation for this Travel Journal Spread with the new Been There Collection from @ardencreativestudio
I am really enjoying putting together this journal with the Vintage makers Bookmakers as a starting point. I stitched together a little booklet [full tutorial on my YouTube channel]and now I’m making each spread with the lasers and ephemera from the Been There Collection with a mix of stamps and inks to make each spread unique.

![Mixed media art journaling for Christmas
Joyful Layers of Creative Magic!
Starting with a dreamy Evergreen Bough oxide base, then framing it beautifully with the gorgeous Season of Joy PET Tape from @ardencreativestudio. Added those delightful Season of Joy Rubon Transfers (also Arden!) for extra holiday sparkle, and layered on the stunning Poinsettia PET Tapes to bring in that classic Christmas bloom vibe.
Felt like it needed a pop of festive red, so I grabbed the splatter stamp from Fern Valley (Arden stamps, of course!) and a touch of Barn Door Oxide—pure joy in every splatter!
Simple as that!
Simple supplies, endless happiness. Creating like this fills my heart with light and reminds me how wonderful it is to play and make something beautiful. You can do this too—just grab what you love and let your creativity shine!

![Art journaling. It just lights me up. Creative time gets me thinking, exploring and creating making
What lights you up? It’s a simple question.
With a simple answer.
Creating.
Making stuff. That’s it. Whether I’m designing new collections or creating a new page in one of my journals. Creating. Art. Lights me up. I don’t have a therapist. I have art. I’ll never be bored. I’ll always find a way out of darkness with art.
For this page I used my 4x6 journal from @ardencreativestudio It’s made of 300gsm bright white paper and handles all my inks and wet mediums and the small format is the perfect size for a quick little collage.
The case is Bundled Sage Oxide ink and then archival ink and my Typecast Mix Background stamp from @ardencreativestudio
Added some liquid acrylic white paint to soften it back and blend it all together. When completely dry I added Rubons from the @ardencreativestudio Laurel Grove Rubons and the final touch is washi stickers from the Laurel Grove Washi Sticker Book with splatters from a watercolor crayon
Simple as that!

It may not work for everyone, but this is how I approach journaling pages
This @travelers_company Travelers Notebook Watercolor journal is a new favorite for me. I like the size, the watercolor paper and the spiral notebook allowing me to work one page at a time!
I started with some stamping with the Letter Box Postmarks stamps from @ardencreativestudio and then layered on some Hidden Creek Rubons from @ardencreativestudio and the filmstrip PET tape from the Hidden Creek as well

![Creative journaling swatching for the Field Notes Collection
I’m back to Swatching my journals!
Spending time being creative is one of the best things you can do for yourself. It’s relaxing and helps clear your mind bringing joy to your heart. And starting with stamping and rubons is a great way to start. It’s simple and anyone can do it!
I have so many different paints and paint palettes, this really could be never ending.
For this page I started with my Letter Box Post Stamps from @ardencreativestudio and rubons from The Field Notes Collection with @ardencreativestudio
My @lindysgang Field Notes Magicals Magicals created the perfect artsy palette.
Inked a bounding box with a kuretake pen and called it done, Simple as that!

![Mixed media tag making with alcohol markers and PET tape #mixedmediajournal #mixedmedia #tagart
Do you finger stamp?
Sometimes acrylic blocks can get in the way and limit your stamping but when you stick a clear stamp to your finger and start stamping you can get close to the creases and cover more area!
I did that with the Letter Box Post stamps from @ardencreativestudio
First I started with Evergreen Bough Oxide, then Peacock Feathers Oxide and then went in with the finger stamping!
Followed up with the PET stickers from the Garden Chronicles Collection designed for @ardencreativestudio These stickers are so much fun and they color in with alcohol markers that do not wipe off!!
Love how they all combine to make an artsy tag!
Simple as that!
