Today I am sharing an art journal using the September card kit by SimonSaysStamp. The kit is supposed to be for cardmakers but the supplies can be used to create journal pages as well.

The papers included are just gorgeous and the moment I opened it up I knew what I wanted to do with them. So here is my layout:

The old library drawers and the vintage images, as well as the awesome stickers just made the layout super easy to create. If you love books like I do, I am sure you’ll be able to create something similar in no time.

Today’s layout is very busy and colorful and there are so many things to look at, if you take the journal on your hands. One of my favorite clusters was the notepad pages stacked and embellished.

And don’t you just love that patterned paper with the drawers?

  31. You never cease to amaze me Vicki. Loved this idea to use card kit for an art journal entry. I so love how your imagination just seems to run while. Lol. You have this ability to take inspiration from the kits and bring to life a sign from every day living…. and today is a one from a library it seems. So impressed with those drawers or filing cabinet. The array of bright and happy colours makes this layout so impressive. Thanks for sharing sweetie. Hugs – Dana

    1. Sorry Vicky, but this comment was meant for your Get Lost In A Book Art Journal Page and I am thinking that I placed it in the wrong post section. It was meant for this one okay. Hope your doing great sweetie.

  32. Love these papers – msybe because I’m an avid reader…..and the way you put them together, perfect….. Hope I win the kit

  33. Another inspiring art journal page! Great use of the card kit.
    I really love watching all your projects, they make me want to create them for myself!
    I just got started with making cards and mixed media projects and find that there is nothing more fun than letting your creativity flow… Thank you for inspiring me!

  34. Absolutely love this kit. Your layout is great and there is so much to look at. Glad you are back on YouTube – missed you!

  35. You have combined two of my loves in this one, reading and paper art, you are my favorite paper artist & I have watched all your videos. Thanks for the lovely ideas you share with us.

  36. Your art journal is wonderful! I enjoy watching you work and wish I had 2% of your creativity!
    Thank you for sharing.

  37. Always wait for your videos. But I have a question. My pages stick together and I noticed yours do not. What am I doing wrong?

    1. I had comments about it from other crafters. I don’t know if it’s the gel medium you use or the paints… are they the same as mine? In any case I’ve heard that it might be because of the climate you live in.
      I know that some people use wax all over their pages once they are finished to prevent them from sticking.

  38. Been wanting to start art journaling, there are lot of videos out there but you are easy to follow and very good at getting point across without giving unnecessary info and repeating, great color and ideas. Excited to start. Thank you

  39. Vicki, I am a huge fan… I am a card maker. Am curious as to why you choose art journaling? To me, Each page of your journal would make a wonderful collage to hang on the wall. How do you use/enjoy the many journals you must own? Do you ever sell them?

    I think I am not understanding journaling. Can you explain the appeal you feel?THANKS, CONNIE
