Art Journaling with Shari Carroll: Journal Pockets

Welcome, everyone!!! it’s Shari here with another art journaling installment. I’m working on the last signature flap in my Tim Holtz Travel Journal and thought I would do some simple collage using primarily paper products.

The Tim Holtz Journal cards are perfect for this journal. The longer pieces can easily be turned into pockets to hold some of the smaller cards. Plus, the designs match this journal! I’ve created a pocket on both the front and back of this page to hold cards for my journaling.

I’ve done some slight coloring onto the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Engraving Layers. There are 76 pieces to play with, I chose them randomly for this page by mixing up flowers, watch, pen nib, and hand. These are great to tuck into the pockets or glue onto the page.

Art journaling doesn’t have to be difficult, messy, or complicated. Try putting together combinations of items that make you happy and enjoy the process!

  3. Awesome pages Shari, it was great to see this Traveling Journal come to live with all the gorgeous things you put in and on the pages. I enjoyed it so much.
    Thank yo so much for sharing, stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.

  4. I absolutely loved Shari Carroll’s art journaling techniques shared in this article. The way she incorporates journal pockets adds such a dynamic and interactive element to the pages. It’s always inspiring to see artists push the boundaries of traditional journaling.
    I particularly enjoyed the section where she discusses adding hidden pockets to hold ephemera and memories. The idea of creating a visual narrative within the pages is brilliant. It’s like turning a journal into a treasure trove of personal stories.
    By the way, Shari’s use of colors and textures is so captivating. It got me thinking about trying out similar techniques in my own art journal. Exploring new ideas and methods is what makes this creative process so fulfilling.
    On a slightly unrelated note, I’ve been thinking about exploring more crafty projects lately, and this article came at the perfect time for inspiration. It’s always good to have a few creative endeavors in the pipeline, especially when unexpected expenses pop up. Speaking of which, I recently came across some interesting tips about managing finances and dealing with unexpected costs, like considering a payday advance cash option. It’s essential to have resources available for those times when life throws us a curveball.
    Thanks again for this fantastic article! Looking forward to more inspiring content like this in the future.
