Get Messy Art Journal | 002

This is my second week of art journaling and this is what I've learned so far . . .

Today, I'm so excited to share the first pages of my Get Messy Art Journal. Get Messy is an art journal challenge where a gang of crafty vixens share art journal pages we have created to practise our skills and push past our creative limits with hopes to inspire. We share our pages without restraint every week, and once a month we create around a prompt. Go check out these crazy talented ladies who are creating pages who each have a unique perspective and style. We will be sharing our work around social media so follow the hashtag #getmessyartjournal.

Mini Album with Pocket Pages // Part One // Cover

This week is definitely all about mini albums. I've already posted Part One and Two of my Valentine Mini Album and today I'll be sharing photos of my Mini Album with Pocket Pages. For an overview of my entire album, you can check out the Glitz Design blog this morning. Below are more photos and details about the supplies I used. In Part Two of this series, I will be outlining directions for the album construction and sharing photos of all the hidden journaling I included in the pockets!

A Valentine Mini Album // Part Two

Today I'll be sharing more of my Valentine Mini Album. Check out Part One here and for an overview of the entire 37 page album, you can visit my post over on the Glitz Design blog. In this three part series, I go into more depth and you'll find additional images and details on my album construction below.

I use a lot of white thread and wood veneer throughout my entire album because I love the added texture and their neutral base keep them from becoming a distraction. This cute little typewriter is from the Heyday Collection by Studio Calico.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 18-19

On these pages, I threw in some Arrow and Elongated Hexagon Wood Veneers by Studio Calico into the mix. The hexagons make a great base for work strips or other types of captions.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 20-21

I added another plastic pocket insert in between these two pages and left a blank photo mat in the middle to add a photo.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 20-21 Closeup

On the flip side of the insert, I added some embellishments, including word art using Studio Calico's Darling Dear Alphabet Wood Veneers. These might be the cutest wood veneers I've ever seen and they came with the Copper Mountain Studio Calico Project Life Kit (which was also the cutest ever btw).

These are "cotton candy" colored sequins I found at the Studio Calico shop. I love the color and they seem to always pretty selection of hues in stock there.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 22-23

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 24-25

Here, I've added more of my own typography using Photoshop. I also used Tim Holtz Label Letters to spell out "I love you more than all the stars in the sky" and this pretty constellation patterned vellum to layer in between.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 26-27

I love this wood veneer heart by Freckled Fawn and paired it with word strips by Glitz Design.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 28-29

In between these two pages, I've sandwiched a plain velum insert, creating white space in an otherwise crowded spread.

I also added a plastic insert with lots of options for photos. In the corner, I slipped in "M" and "R" typewriter keys by Tim Holtz and embellished them with a bit of bakers twine.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 30-31

This is the last set of plastic pockets. It's filled with journal cards by Glitz Design still has room for a few photos.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 30-31 Closeup

Again, I've added interest to the flip side of the insert by adding word art and a couple embellishments.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 32-33 Closeup

This is the last set of pages I'll be sharing today. The little star accent is from confetti included in my Studio Calico Valley High Project Life Kit--definitely easy enough to make, but nice to have on hand. I've shared a link below along with all the other supplies from Part One of this series as well. Tune back in for Part Three at the end of the week!

Valentine Mini Album // Part One // Album Cover

I'm so excited to be sharing my first mini album for 2014. To check out an overview of the entire album, hop on over to the Glitz Design Blog where I share some project details this morning. Here, on Analog Paper, I'll be going into the construction of my album in more depth. At 37 pages, it's a thick little album and I want to share some of the multi media techniques I used to add interest to all my pages. This is the first installment of a three part series.

We have a another snow storm hitting this afternoon so I have to run over to store and stock up on chocolate and other essentials. In the meantime, here are some closeups of my album and I'll be back a little later today with descriptions and supply lists for you!

I finally got to update my post! Check out all the details below . . .

The cover you see above is a simple chipboard construction that I embellished with Martha Stewart Metallic Finish Paint and the white paper heart is topped with cloth covered Thickers by American Crafts.
