Digital Scrapbooking and Art Journaling Inspiration Blog

Where Creativity Meets Memory Keeping

This blog is where I share what I’m learning, making, and thinking about — from digital scrapbooking techniques and tutorials to art journaling ideas, new collections, and the creative nudges that keep me (and hopefully you) moving forward. This is everything I publish, all in one place., so pull up a chair and stay a while.

Artful Intentions Week 12

My husband and I just returned from 10 days on the East coast. It was an opportunity to visit our daughter in New York City and to reconnect with family in Maryland – some of whom I’d not seen since I was a child.

Journal it Out: Grief

I’ve got lots to do. A video to edit for my Documented Life project page. My Week 6 challenge response for Artful Intentions. I need to put together my art journal travel kit for this coming weekend. Product to finish for an upcoming release. A sale ad to create. A Valentine’s card to make …. just lots of stuff.

Painty Art Journal Background

If you’ve been following along, you know I’ve been filming (video-ing???) my Documented Life project pages and sharing the process with you. This week, I tried to stretch myself a bit more. Instead of narrating the video after the fact, I recorded myself talking through what I was doing as I actually did it.
