Digital Art Journaling- a new thing for me.

For any of you digital scrapbookers- you will love this site.

My dear friend Steph has asked me to write a post on art journaling for the Daily Digi... and you know  I love art journaling...that is when I am using paints, gesso, and real photos!

 However, being a digital scrapbooking focused site- I thought I better venture into my unknown world of digital scrapbooking and "put myself out there." So, I wrote a piece entitled: "Therapy through Digital: Putting it all out There for You"- check it out!

I was a little nervous of how to do this...how do I incorperate my style for art journaling with the digital world if I don’t even know how to digitally scrapbook really? What if it is not good. What if these photoshop savvy ladies judge my page? Who am I to write a post on a digital scrapbooking blog? 

I figured it will stretch me a little bit. So, what the heck- go for it!

Here is my first attempt...still somewhat scrapbooky looking- but still I did it!

Second attempt:

In this one I began feeling more free- more experimental in layering and trying new things. It became like...well art journaling... and I got lost in the process!
