Isn't it fun when something unplanned catches your eye? I think there is beauty in the unexpected. The other week I showed you how I made these messy painted journals. I began by showing you how I made their covers, but I ended up filling them up with color too. The goal was to fill the pages with color and inspiring pops of playful abstract paint strokes. What I did not expect was the papers that I used to insert between my journal pages to become their own beautiful canvas. These papers Continue Reading

I was so excited when they asked if I would want to review one of their Continue Reading
