Art Journaling

After a very busy summer with the kiddos, I only have a few art journal pages to show for any remotely creative activities.  Most of the summer was spent exploring, lazing in the sun and just enjoying ourselves.

I currently have two art journals on the go.  One is a larger A4 format book and a smaller mixed media sketch book.  The first three are from the sketch book and the two pager was done in the A4 book.  In the art journals, I try to use up any scraps that I have left over from scrapbooking and I have a lot of left over scraps from over the years.  I just can't seem to throw anything away.

I also received my Foldio2 which I backed on Kickstarter.  It is a foldable light box that uses LED lights.  I really like it because I can fold it down quickly and easily.  It takes up very little storage space.  The only drawback is that it is a bit too small for photographing 12x12 layouts.  I have managed to gerry rig a solution to make it tall enough but it is wonderful for small objects.

It comes with various back drops but I find that I tend to use the white one the most.


For all the Canadians, Happy Thanksgiving.  Our turkey is in the oven and it smells wonderful.
