Created 3 Drawings while Reviewing New Market Sets

Hello creative friends. I hope everyone is having a good week.  My week is going well.  This week I have 3 drawings that I created while playing around with some new market sets that I bought.  I bought a set of Ohuhu markers, several different sets of TomBow Marker sets and a set of Prismacolor markers.  Here are pics of the 3 drawings I created.

Here is the video showing my review of these marker sets and how I created these pictures.

I really like all of these marker sets and had fun creating these drawings.  Have you tried any of these yourself?  If so I would love to hear what you think.  Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a great week.  Until next time, Happy Creating.

Bible Journaling

Hello creative friends.  Hope everyone is having a good week.  My week is going well.  This week I have a bible journaling page that I created.  I've been seeing people using their bibles to do art journaling and I thought I would like to try it myself.  I went to a local Christian store and found that they have bibles designed specifically for journaling in.  I found a beautiful bible that already had designs printed on some of the pages to get you started.  I also found a kit with stuff in it for bible journaling that I bought to get started with.  So I colored some of the pre-printed pages using colored pencils.  Then I decided to dive in and create a page using paint and stickers and found I enjoyed it.  So I decided to do another page and create a video showing how I made the page.  I used gelatos, stickers, washi tape and stamping.  Here is a picture of the page I created.

And here is the video showing how I made this page.



I really like the way it turned out and had fun creating it.  Have you tried bible journaling yet?  Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great week.  Until next time, Happy Creating. 

Smashbook Scrapbook Journal

Hello creative friends.  I hope everyone is having a good week.  My week has been going well.  This week I have a flip through of my Smashbook Scrapbook Journal that I've created and am working on filling.  I decided that I wanted a smashbook scrapbook journal with pockets and some pages with decorations, but I could not find what I wanted online, so I decided to made my own with pattern paper, mixed media paper and pockets.  This journal was the inspiration for some of the journals that I've make for my Etsy shop and love that they can be used for a variety of things; For example you can use it as a smashbook like this one, as a diary, an art journal, a writing journal, a bullet journal, or whatever else you can think of.  This journal I made for myself I also decorated the cover used spray inks, stencils and stamping to decorate it.  Here are pictures of some of the pages from this journal.

 I love having pockets to store my tickets and ephemera in.

 I also made mini photo albums out of some pictures using washi tape and put them in pockets.

And here is a video showing a flip through my journal showing what I've done so far.

I really like this journal and have been having a lot of fun filling it up.  If you are interested in a handmade journal similar to this one, you can visit my Etsy shop at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/JoysArt360  to see all of the journals I've made.


Thank you for stopping by and watching my video.  I hope you liked the video and I hope you have a great week.  Until next time, Happy Creating. to see all of the journals I've made.

Poppies and Tea Art Journal Page and a Mixed Media Class

Hello creative friends.  I hope everyone is having a good week.  My week is going well.  This week I have several art journal pages I created from a Craftsy class I took this weekend that was taught by Lindsay Weirich the Frugal Crafter and I have another art journal page that I created in my homemade journal.  Here are the art journal pages that I created from the Craftsy class I took.

I really like the way these pages turned out and I learned a lot about watercolors from the class.


Here is the Art Journal page I created in my homemade journal.  I decided to create a simple journal page using pictures of several different objects, a tea pot, a tea cup, a cupcake and flowers.  After sketching the items on my page and painting them with acrylic paints, I glued a picture of a poppy journal to the page.  

And here is the video showing how I created this page:

I like the way this page turned out and had fun creating it.  Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a great week.  Until next time, Happy Creating.
