Your journals are wonderful. So colourful and imaginative. I'm just starting out on my artsy journey (at 66) and loving it. Lots to learn, lots to do, which is fabulous. Thank you cheerful and generous person. :-)

[@TaraJacobsen]

I feel like we are better at being artsy when we get older and can use all of our life experiences together!

Tara - your work is amazing - it must make you so full of joy to page through your journals and see how many pages you have done. I love running my hands over completed journal pages for the texture and the sound they make - weird, right?!? Great work - thanks for sharing! Keep your awesomeness coming!! We love you and your work!

[@TaraJacobsen]

Awww thanks so much!!! And YES! When people ask what I do with my books, I say I look through them...:)

[@sandikolthoff5126]

I was just thinking today, at 6 am...... you should do a flip through of your journals! Ta da and here you are! Thank you... amazing job!

[@TaraJacobsen]

Oh my gosh Sandi... you TOTALLY manifested that! You should buy a lotto ticket!

[@sandikolthoff5126]

@@TaraJacobsen I think I will receive one million dollars.... I'll let you know how that works out for me... bahahahaaaaaa! Thanks again for all your fantastic art and videos. YOU keep me inspired! ❤

[@janicehoughtelling5137]

So much fun watching you go through your journal s. Some I watched you do and some

[@TaraJacobsen]

I have most of them filmed but sometimes I craft without you lot... crazy pants I know!

[@annwieland1]

Well, that is the best video I’ve ever seen! It is very inspirational…I’m going to start practicing my lettering and my color pairing every day. Thank you so much for all the ideas!!! I’m also going to work on those block backgrounds - they are wonderful. Again, thank you!!!

[@TaraJacobsen]

Awww thanks Ann! I have a super cool free "color theory" book in my freebies area... I JUST LOVE COLORS so much! artsyfartsylife.com/

[@annwieland1]

@@TaraJacobsen thank you very much!!!

[@lindseywarren44]

I adore flip-throughs and yours didn't disappoint! Thank you for showing us all of your journal pages. I always get inspired by you and your creative brain! I am dying to get a Dylusions Classic Journal. I've worked in all of her other ones and enjoy the paper so much. I was hesitant to work on the black background in my square Dylusions journal, but I have found so many ideas from you and other artists that I have fallen in love. I work in several journals at a time as well. I'm like a squirrel jumping from one to the other! I think it keeps things fresh and exciting. Love and Bless xo

[@TaraJacobsen]

I LOVE my black pages...:) I was intimidated at first too, but now I am a convert! And YES to lots of journals... keeping it fresh and fun!!!

[@lindseywarren44]

@@TaraJacobsen I am now eager to try and have a go with the Kraft paper. Until I can get my hands on the Classics journal, I have gone through my stash and found some kraft cardstock. I will try my hand at making some tip-in pages :-) Really enjoying your content!

[@TaraJacobsen]

@@lindseywarren44 What an amazing creative solution! Good on you!

[@lindseywarren44]

@@TaraJacobsen Awww. Thank you! 😘

[@jacquelineayers3678]

I loved seeing your journals, and remember most of the pages, I especially loved the painted collage, it makes everything so vibrant. Thank you for sharing x

[@TaraJacobsen]

I love those too! Fancy pants!

[@sonyacullen1]

I love your turtle spread! I think it's good to see the nearly complete as well as the complete. It feels just as interesting to watch but would be fun to see the finished flip throughs as well :)

[@TaraJacobsen]

That turtle is one of my favorites too!!!...:) I will do the finished flip throughs... if I ever finish...hahahaha1

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks for sharing! So much fun!

[@TaraJacobsen]

So glad you liked it Darcy!!!!

[@wildlightarts]

Your layouts are incredible! wow 🤩🌈✨ I also love your use of mixed media, so inspiring!

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

Your art style reminds me of the Curious Creatures Tarot deck. It's lovely.

[@TaraJacobsen]

Ohhhh I will have to check that out!

[@colleenmichalec5470]

Your journals are AMAZING!

[@TaraJacobsen]

Thanks Colleen!

[@janicehoughtelling5137]

Were new but fun looking at All of them

[@TaraJacobsen]

It is so fun to see all of them at once! I am doing a final flip through of the magazine journal next week!

[@TheCommanda13]

What do you use to coat your pages with? Looks shiny, but is it sticky when dry?

[@TaraJacobsen]

I don't coat my pages with anything... for sure I get sticking when I use layers of paint or mod podge (I live in florida so nothing ever totally "sets"). It doesn't happen often, mostly when I close the pages wet and then they dry together. Hope that helps!

[@TheCommanda13]

Thank you! Maybe it was just glare off the magazine images.
