Mind and Body: Art Journaling with Shari Carroll
Wow… it’s the last day of 2017…how did that happen? Happy New Year everyone!!!
I’m not into doing New Years resolutions but I do like to make attempts at improving my personal self. I need reminders though and I thought it would be fun to include my notes and thoughts in an art journal page.
I’ve started out with my Dylusions journal, Simon Says Stamp Framed Cosmo and Framed Mum, All Caps Alphabet steel craft dies, along with some really fun Jane Davenport papers, washi tape and ink markers.
I created pockets by die cutting the flowers frames, trimming them down and adding paper behind them. I’ve secured them to the page with washi tape. TIP: If you want to make your washi tape more permanent, use a medium or glue to seal it.
Once I had my pockets in place, I cut some paper, stamped some reminders for myself and added a little journaling. These can slide into the pockets so I can review my progress.
I have a filmed a full process video that you can watch below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

Love the pattern paper and thank you for sharing the brush pens with us!
I don’t journal, but I see some great ideas to use on scrapbook pages or a card! Thank you!
I love your Journal Page and I like the idea of being able to add notes!! I always love to see what you come up with! Every time I see you with the cast on, I know that can’t be comfortable, especially since you are left handed!! Hoping you can get it off soon!!! Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to see your next journal page!!
This is beautiful! Love the bright bold colours.
I love these large die cuts. The backgrounds look fabulous.
I am totally smitten with those big bold watercolored words!
Those dies are so pretty on this page with that paper. Such a clever idea Shari.
