Like many of you ladies out there I am taking part in Janel's 30 Day Journal Challenge. It took me a few days to get into because of my schedule but now that I have started I can't wait to catch up. I don't want to catch up all in one night lest I burn myself out and don't move forward but I think that is part of the pleasure of art journaling in tiny journals. I am actually using an art journal that Janel sent me from back in old days of Happy Mail. It is a 3x5" journal from The Black Apple (with a circus bear on the cover-I am sure that you guys know which one I am talking about). However it doesn't have many pages so I hope to continue this challenge in one adorned with a vicious looking bunny (also from The Black Apple via Janel). So far I have only created in intro page and my goals page:
In case you guys were wondering I use a Pilot G2 gel pen for all of the ink and prismacolor colored pencils for filling items in.
Obviously I sometimes use scrapbook supplies or ephemera to adorn pages. I like to have no rules on mediums with my art journals. So this is the beginning of a new Art Journal for me. If you are curious to see the rest of them that I have posted online so far here are the links:

Janel's Journaling For A Cause
I Heart Fall
I hope you guys enjoy all of the pages that I have created. I am looking for some inspiration on art journaling so I would LOVE an links or suggestions that you guys might have. I hope your art journals (or whatever current project you are working on) is going great!
P.S. I am working on a short series of posts (because they are all related to each other but too much to post at once) about what has been going on with me lately / caused my decrease in blogging.

yay courtney! i like the "no rules, use any medium i want in my journal." that's how i feel too. goals schmoals, are tough for me. whenever i use my prisma colored pencils the facing page gets all colored mucky. do u have this problem, or is it just me?
Thanks so much everyone!
Teddi-I don't have a problem with the colored pencils but I also make sure to wipe away all of those loose flakes of pigment before I shut the page. I think that could maybe be the issue, no?
