When I first peek at the Crusade 16 held in Michelle's blog, I feel really excited and say to myself that I gonna be in for this Crusade fever ~~~ Art Journal
Actually, it's not so difficult to come the journal.
Purchase a ring coil binded notebook. Print and cut the photo of your favorite entry , comments and paste them to the journal. Before doing so, decorate the blank page with paint, gesso, embellishment, or any else which cross your mind.
Some of the reason for me to do the visual journal
1) documenting a process of an art piece
2) simply attaching remnants from a memorable day
3) to paste the beautiful cut out / collage
4) record the impressed/ inspired blog
5) testing on the new technique
6) I still have a record even my blog went evaporate (hope it'll not happen)
7) and the important is ......IT IS PART OF RECORD OF MY LIFE
ART JOURNAL
I painted the cover with the acyclic paint. I wish to explore the used of gesso or spray in my next page.

Lay - thank you for showing us all your journals, especially this new one with your blog posts on the pages. These are terrific, and I love how you incorporated so many elements - the photos, text, comments, and even the template for the icicle doll. Clever! And all your handwriting really personalizes the content. Glad to have you be on our team - you inpsire!
Beautiful work Lay...
Have a great day.

Wow! One regret I have is not keeping a journal more regularly. You are amazing!
Wow...so many journals. I am soooo envious of your dedication to keeping a journal! This makes me inspired to keep my promise to myself to keep up with a visual journal this year...one step at a time!

I love your journals. I have a travel journal as well, and a journal of books that I have read, I never thought of adding them to my post.
Wow LH - I love your journals. The latest MUSE is great.
Simply Sweet!!! Love everything about this (((Hugs)))
Very cool Lay! :) I love that you have incorporated all these different pieces on a page. :) AND.. .that you have been journaling since you were in school. I know you have some treasures! Thanks!
Lay,
I so enjoyed reading your post. Documenting your life, motherhood and your art....you will leave a magnificent record to rekindle memories for all of time. It must be amazing to read your girl hood and teen years diaries. If only I had been so disciplined as to save my earlier writing.

This is a great idea! I kept a written journal when I travelled across Canada and while living in Japan but didn't put pic in. I wish I had. It helps bring the journal to life.
Your journals are terrific! Thanks for sharing them.
Wow what amazing talent you have. I love the idea of recording your 30's it is such a wonderful idea.
My hubby recently bought me a bind it all, I have played with it a bit, but hope to do more this weekend.
Thank you for stopping by my blog.
All of your pages look great!!
Hi, Lay! Just dropping by to say hi! =)
Oh wow, I LOVE journals. Great job with keeping up with an art journal!
I should update my writing journal more often but find that my scrapbook pages ARE my journals now. Hehe.
Have a great day! =)

Wow... you do have lots of journals and it reminds me to get one for my future baby and also to re-record down my first born's scrap journal with a fefw bad hand-writing too. Thanks for sharing... I think I can prepare a proper brag or journal book with more embellishment...
Your layouts are fab! Love that you showed us how you began your creative process! Love your Muse!
I love the Muse cover! It's really, really great. And I'm so impressed that you've kept a journal for such a long time. The pages you made from blog posts are great, too. I especially love the one with the icicle dolls.
Thanks for sharing!
