I would love to learn from Elizabeth St. Hilare Nelson. Her DVD and book are on my Christmas list already! You can find her at Painted Paper Collage.
Thank you for the free article. I love Art Journaling magazine!
[…] Apologies for the lack of updates, we had a long week with much illness and too much work. However, I got an email from Stampington to let me know that my Art Journaling Magazine article is a free download now. So if you’d like to read it, you can do so from here: open me now […]
I would love to learn from Donna Downing. She is amazing! I like to go over to her blog on Wednesdays and see her video on creating a journal page!
I am new to art journaling and very excited and a little scared. I am an empty vessel ready to be filled with everyone’s ideas, experiences, instructions, inspirations and creativity! I love Somerset Place and the Stampington & Co and the book store where I happened to pick up one of your fabulous magazines!
Welcome to the art journaling community! We are mustering a fun blog post, scheduled to be published soon, that gives insight for newbies…so be on the lookout for that! Glad you’re getting inspiration from us thus far.
I just love Christy Thomlinson. I want to start painting/drawing girls. It is a goal that I am determined to accomplish. Christy’s She-Art Girls are absolutely beautiful; full of color and whimsy. She gives each one their own personality. I would love to visit her and take her All Inclusive Class one day, at her new Home Studio. She is so inspiring and amazing to me.
I love Karen’s work. Thanks for sharing this article. Unfortunately when I download it I cannot see the article. The images are amazing, but I cannot read the text. Could you look into it for me, please? Thanks
Hi there! Does the text appear pixelated or is it just too small to read? Have you tried zooming in or printing? I will look into uploading a higher resolution so the text is just as crisp as the images!
I would love to see Donna Downey stop by~
I too love Karen’s work-thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much~
I really love Karen’s art work, she does such beautiful pages and her sketches are brilliant. Thank you for the free download.
I am a newby here and am wondering if the magazine is online or in the shops…I live in Australia?
Hi Jan! Glad you found us. Our magazines can be found online at: http://stampington.com/publications Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks. I re downloaded the article and it is all good now. Im going to grab a cuppa and settle down on the lounge and read. thanks again
Never pass up a good Stampington article!!
I love the stamping ton publications, can you tell me are there any places that sell them in Australia? My stamping shop will get them in for me,but I can do that myself, the magazine is reasonably priced, but the cost of shipping almost doubles the price,hope you can help,Thankyou.
I am not a journaler but in Sept. I was in very bad car accident and could have died. I was life fligjted to a trauma hospital where obvious they saved me. Now it is a year at least of recouping so maybe I will try this to help pass the time and using all the wonderful supplies I have (which are many).
To 2014 a better year and a year of healing.
This is so true. You have to be present. A little dab’l do ya. Slow and steady wins the race. Off to play! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
