Art Journaling in my Composition Art Journal Part 14: Gifts & Gift Wrap

[@susanstemmet607]

What a great idea to use that wrapping paper first. Loved looking at your holiday photos as here in Cape, Town, it is winter and cold and wet. What a beautiful island and wouldn't mind seeing more of your photos. Another amazing page, this is going to be a really stunning journal when completed. Have a blessed weekend.

❤❤❤Thank you, beautiful as usual, I find myself looking at your page to see what I’ve missed then I see a new video and was very excited. The music was PERFECT, I appreciate you. And the trip was also very entertaining, all was so beautiful except and that hill, I’d have to make sure I have a spare $3000 just to be on the safe side. lol… Thank you for acknowledging me and my feedback. You definitely have a fan in me.. have a great life. ❤

The loud music happens on other KZbin channels, too. Love your spread and your vacation pics.

4:42 I used to do that all the time with my mosaic art. Take a picture and look at the picture. It's almost like looking at it through somebody else's eyes...

[@artsyerinlife]

Yes!

[@lisawarner1556]

Loved the video and the artsy ideas and I did love your vacation pictures! ❤

[@artsyerinlife]

I live in Northern Michigan, near Cadillac and I’ve visited Mackinaw Island many times! I’ve even had the opportunity to stay at the Grand Hotel! Love the pictures and your journal spread!

[@artsyerinlife]

Awesome. I was born in Kalamazoo. 😁

[@DianeMcCarty1961]

Love this spread. That wrapping paper is gorgeous, and your added doodling makes the whole thing stunning! ❤

[@artsyerinlife]

Thank you so much!

[@TerryJ950]

Love your finished page! I also loved seeing your beautiful vacation photos. When I saw that Grand Hotel, it seemed very familiar. And then when you said two films were shot there, I thought I remembered seeing it in Somewhere in Time. I googled it to make sure, but yep, that’s the one. It was almost like a character in the movie.

[@artsyerinlife]

Yes! That was one of them!

[@christinewrightington7098]

Honestly, it's one of the best art videos I've seen in a very long time! I am disabled with a physical ailment, so I am home a lot ,and I watch the tons of art utube, this was enjoyable!

[@artsyerinlife]

What a kind compliment. Thanks. 🥰 Glad you enjoyed it.

[@SaraPlaysWithPaper]

[@artsyerinlife]

Awesome, thanks for watching !

[@beckysoules4618]

Love that!

[@sallycapotosto6927]

Beautiful! And, I liked the travel photos. I've always wanted to visit Mackinac Island. It really is gorgeous. I've really got to get back to my composition art journal too. I've been playing with my new Castle Arts Harmonious pencils instead. Welcome home! 💜

[@artsyerinlife]

Thanks!

[@vivienblignaut7959]

Do people know that they can turn the volume down? 😂 thanks for sharing your holiday photos!

[@artsyerinlife]

I think it was the transition between talking and music. 😁

Enjoy watching your artwork, wondering are you an art major? I have everything i need to start art journaling and I’ve hesitated cuz everyone I see seems to be able to draw. I don’t know how to draw nor am I an art major but love what you do and find it relaxing. BTW loved your pics…. Looks like a lovely place. Thanks for sharing.

[@artsyerinlife]

Thanks for watching. I am not an art major. I've never formally studied art. I do not know how to draw either! Haha. The wonderful thing about art journaling is that you don't have to audition or qualify to be an artist. You are human, therefore you are a creative being. Try not to over think it. Make marks, make mistakes, make bad art, play with colors you like, imitate what you like. You don't have to start with any skills to develop skills. Just start playing. If you're not thrilled with the process, copy someone else's until you feel more confident. That's how we all learn and there are a million tutorials out there. You are always welcome to "borrow" any of my ideas or do a "copycat" page. I don't always love how every page turns out, but I make it my goal to be relaxed and find pleasure in the process. If I enjoyed the process but not the result, it still served it's purpose.
