On-Line Class - Journal the Year

Isabella Crop Circle 2010 Journal The Year

First..Don’t panic. The purpose of this on-line class is to have a project to do between each crop and create a scrapbook or journal for 2010. You might want to simply scrapbook your year or you may wish to try to do a journal of events, thoughts and feelings. It is up to you how you use the prompts.

Each month I will post some prompts of things to think about and things you might wish to record or journal. You can use the prompts or simply do your own thing. It’s up to you this will be your album.

I’ll also be posting some art journaling techniques but please be patient, I am as new to this as you and will be working with techniques I’ve picked up from books and magazines.

Art journaling is a new trend that many people are becoming addicted to (including Jac and I). If you want to see some examples look at Dylan Reavely’s blog (www.dyan-reaveley.blogspot.com). If anyone is interested she runs classes at Art From The Heart in Harrogate (www.afth.co.uk).

Please feel free to share your work by posting on the blog, emailing your pictures or bringing them to the crop. It would be nice to know who’s journaling along with us, so please post if you’re going to give this a try. It’s also open to any non-crop members who use this blog, give us a wave and let us know you’re out there please.

Finally remember this is a bit of fun ... something new to try. There is no right or wrong way to do this...better not be because I’m making it up as I go along. Above all remember the purpose of crafting is to have fun.
