In case you’ve been inspired by her creations… she put together a “Trash to treasures” book this summer and decided it was a great place to jot down some advice to remember when making art journal pages.
Tip #1: Never work on top of your journal.

I’m guessing she learned that one the hard way!
Tip #2: A mistake is not really a mistake. Keep going.

I like the clear, glittery fold-out flap.
No tip here, just happy Barbie stickers.

Tip #3: Some things don’t work out at first. But if we keep drawing (trying) they will work out in the end.

What advice do you have to encourage creativity?

What a SUPER-adorable tip book and art journal, and such a great idea! My advice is: don’t worry about who’s going to look at it. =)

Jaylene, your next journal should use all of the tips you show in your book. How wonderful to document the dos and don’ts in an art journal. Have fun in school this year. Can’t wait to see what you make next.
Love to your family,
Carolyn
