So after not having any magazines at all I was able to scoop up a couple and found a few pages that I liked enough to rip out and paste into my little book. I liked the one above so much the way it was I just cut it down to fit.

I don't know why I liked the nail polish so much, probably because they look shiny haha. The page was too plain with just that so, I splattered some of my own paint on there too.

The moment I saw this Hermes ad it immediately reminded me of Iceland! I want to go there soooooo bad!!!! It's number 1 on my travel bucket list.

I just started messing around here with watercolors and it turned out so well that I didn't want to ruin it by adding more. Maybe one day I'll add a quote or something but, I like it the way it is too.

I was having a really rough time when I made this, going through a rainstorm if you will. This was my way of working myself through that a little bit and getting to play more with my calligraphy.

When you want to make something colorful but still don't really have a handle on watercolors it's time to pull the crayons out. Oh yeah!

I don't get any beautiful magazines in the mail so I'm stuck with using supplies I already own, but after sitting around in a auto repair shop for a few hours I figured they wouldn't miss this page from one of theirs. Thieving for creativity!

It's Get Messy Thursday! I'm not very consistent about this project, but I love having it as an option for when I'm feeling stuck creatively or when I'm bored with the structure of Project Life. I love this quote about creativity being a habit. I'm determined to strengthen these muscles!

Sometimes you get bored, want to paint, and then just stop with a triangle. Works for me!

And then other days I feel like getting fancy with different colored stripes and a canoe drawing.

Words to live by!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my art journal pages! I plan on having a few more catch up pages the next couple of weeks and then the game plan is to be diligent about creating something new every couple of weeks.

    I've been following Caylee for a long time now both with her blog and on Instagram and I am constantly inspired by her Get Messy Art Journal posts. I hesitated participating for the longest time because I don't have an endless supply of magazines that can be cut up and honestly I don't even have a "stash" for scrapbooking that I could dip into. So, I just thought an art journal wasn't for me. But, Caylee's posts were just too beautiful and I knew I had to try my hand at a few impromptu projects. And what do you know, as soon as I looked I already had supplies, you know like paint, watercolors, and crayons.

   I'm not officially on the link up with the Get Messy movement but, I figure that shouldn't stop me from creating. I might try my hand at one of the prompts one of these days, but for now I'll just share my own little bits of creativity.
