Art Journal For Beginners EDITED DATES!!!!

I am a novice in the world of Art Journaling, so I am bit afraid to join journal swaps. So I wanted to make an Art Journal swap for beginners. This is a swap for all of you who wants to give Art Journaling a try. If you are experienced in the world of Art Journaling, you are of course welcome as well! But keep in mind that you may get a “first-timers” work in return!

Don’t be afraid to join if you can’t draw, or if your collages look like something you made in kindergarden, just as long as you have a creative way to decorate your journal pages a little, and that you ENJOY trying this out!

I have come up with 30 promts for our journal, you have to pick AT LEAST 15 of them, in addition to them it would be nice if you make 5-10 promps yourself, something personal and close to your heart.

The size of the journal is senders choice, but it should be at least 6” x 8” (or A5) Be creative, have fun, and don’t worry about your journal not being “arty” enough. One partner, no unexplained 1’s or 3’s and ABSOLUTELY NO FLAKERS!!!!

You can follow me as I make my journal here: http://pinglemor.blogspot.com/
