Connect * Empower * Create
YEAH!!! I have been waiting for today for a very VERY long time, and I still can’t believe it actually happened!! I will need someone to pinch me!! 😉 Today was our first monthly Soul Book Club meeting and man, what can I say?? I, for …
Good morning! I am happy to announce that my weekly Art Journal Video #12 is posted out on YouTube! 🙂 Here is a list of supplies that I used in today’s layout: Book pages Ranger Collage Glue Stick Golden Acrylic Paint: Teal, Naphthol Red Medium, Cadmium …
I want to invite you to join a Soul Book Club!
Well, Soul Book Club is an intimate group of women who meet every month to spend time learning art journaling techniques to help them create a Soul Book!
A Soul Book is a personalized combination art journal/scrapbook/smash book/diary/planner etc. It is a fun and creative tool to help you remember what is important to you and your soul!
Why a group?For starters this is a fun way to learn art journaling techniques, and share how your fellow Soul Bookers are using their Soul Books! My goal is that these groups will also become intimate groups of women who will become Soul Sisters who support each other as they go through the ups and downs that life has a tendency to throw our way!
How can I join?If you want to join let me know by e-mailing me at beautiful.creatives@yahoo.com!
What about cost?The cost is $10 per month. This will help with the cost of art supplies, but this is not a group that is meant to make any money – this is a group solely for the purpose of supporting each other as we go through the process of creating and living with and through our Soul Books!! 🙂
When?This first Soul Book Club meets the third Saturday of every month, from 1pm to 4pm. As more people sign up, more classes/times/locations will be created to keep the groups intimate!
Where?The first Soul Book Club meets at the Broadway Coffee House, which is located at 1300 Broadway Street Northeast #100 in Salem, Oregon
What do I need to bring?I will make sure to provide oodles of decorative craft paper, craft paints, paint brushes, and glues, but I would recommend bringing the following items:
What else do you need to know?Broadway Coffee House has requested that I let all attendees know that beverages, besides water, is not permitted, but we are more than welcome to bring up any food or drink that we purchase from their coffee house!
Also, space is EXTREMELY limited, so this first Soul Book Group will be limited to 8 attendees! As more people sign up, more classes/times/locations will be created to keep the groups intimate! I am also hoping to have Soul Book Groups in cities such as Portland, Albany, and possibly Eugene – I am up for suggestions!
If you have ay questions, comments or concerns, please let me know by either leaving a comment on this page, or your can e-mail me at beautiful.creatives@yahoo.com!
I hope to see you there!!
Here is to living a FABULOUSLY CREATIVE life! 🙂

Oh my, I just realized I still haven’t posted my detailed post for my weekly Art Journal #9, which was actually posted last week! So, you will get two posts from me today!! 😉
Well, my Weekly Art Journal #9 is ready for your viewing pleasure!! 🙂
Materials I used for this spread:
My motivation for this spread was hands down my weekend with Dyan Reaveley, learning from her in her EXCELLENT, and ABSOLUTELY FUN art journaling technique classes!! 😉 If you missed out on that, you can read about that here!
This was a completely different kind of technique for me, so I was a little nervous to see how it would turn out!
Something I didn’t think about when I created my mask out of a magazine image: If you see the magazine image, it is a very happy looking woman, but when you only see the silhouette of that same image, it is reading as a very depressed woman!! OOPSIE!! Not what I was going for!! But I won’t be too hard on myself about that! 😉
I really love all of the different color variations and textures that come from using the Delusion sprays through stencils!! I am going to run out and invest in every color!! 😉
I really loved the look of the script letter stamp showing through the background of the masked silhouette!! I think I would have liked it even better if the words were larger! 🙂
I also had a lot of fun doodling on this page – the white on black and the black on the colorful section! I may have to do that more often! 🙂
Overall, I am very happy with how this spread turned out!! What do you think?
If you have any ideas, or techniques that you might like to see me try in one of my future layouts, please let me know in the comment section and I will see what I can do to be accommodating! Also, I really do LOVE answering any questions you may have about art journaling, mixed-media, or anything you might have seen me do here! Please feel free to ask questions in the comments, and I will try and get back to you in a timely manner!!
Until next time…er…later today! 🙂
Here is to another FABULOUS week! 🙂
