Action

Action was the prompt for the A year in the Life of an Art Journal (http://oneyearartjournal.blogspot.com/) This is my take on the topic. I used a cuttlebug embossing folder (forget what this design is called) and embossed a clear sheet (acrylic? one of those plastic thingies that come off the stickers..i forget what they're called, sorry) *rolleyesatme* - anyway, embossed it and used my cricut for the titles Take Action using my printing press cart. I put the "take" on the acrylic thin plastic sheet and also a Heidi Swapp black label chipboards. I used the positive and negative for this. I also used Tim Holtz's grungeboard of the "40" and journaled the page. The journal book i'm using is from SU board book - it's the small one.

Sorry the picture quailty sucks, i'll try and take a better pix tomorrow.

New site....

Heehee - yet another site that http://aussie-bree.blogspot.com/ (Bree) has introduced me to is called One year art journal - http://oneyearartjournal.blogspot.com/ - i love it.

Here's a thing from their blog:

This year, my plan is to post prompts every other week. Starting on the 5th of January 2009. I'll post on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month. One of my favorite Art Journal "techniques" is to use playing cards to create mini art journal pages. I plan to use those this year, but it's not a requirement.

This year, we'll be making an ABC's of me journal. We'll do prompts based on the alphabet. (26 letters in the alphabet, every other week, 52 weeks in a year = 26 pages of ART!!) I'll be offering ideas based on the letter we'll be working on. If you have a different word or idea for the letter we're working on, that's fine! Use YOUR ideas.

I'm looking forward to getting to play with you, and learning more about you in the next year!! If you have any questions, please email me using the contact button in the sidebar!

Please note, that if you are finding us mid year you are WELCOME to join us ANY time. In fact, we hope you do!~rachel
