Thinking about starting an Art Journal?

Art Journaling is a way to play with artsy techniques in a no-stress format. All the same supplies you use for cardmaking, scrapbooking, ATCs and tags can be used in creative ways in an art journal. You can use it to keep track of new trends in arts and crafts, as a color board or mood board or as an inspirational quote journal. Stamp Fever is your shop for all things Art Journaling. Many products are in stock and any specialty items can be ordered for you.

Nancy, from our Stamp Fever Design Team recently started creating using a Dylusions Creative Journal. Here's her first page




For a step by step tutorial you can visit Nancy's Art Journal page HERE

Let us know if you are interested in an Art Journal group at Stamp Fever or if you'd like to take an Art Journaling class. We will get a class scheduled if there is enough interest, so please comment below.

These are the products used on this journal page.

What a wonderful group of cards. I love all the comments with them as well. Thank you for the opportunity to win this awesome lot of goodies.. I don't own any of it, and would gladly welcome it into my stamp room so I could make lots of cards for both OWH and my husband's battalion which is currently deployed to Afghanistan. blessings ~ Pam
