Are you ready for another art journal?! I made a layout today showcasing tons of Tim Holtz products including new stamps, old stamps, distress inks, distress paints, distress markers and many many more!
Today I created a layout that I would call a typical Vicky style! LOL! I just love having stacks of things like books in this case. I have already stacked bookes, cups and cupcakes in other layouts. Combine it with a nice quote and you have a fun layout.
I used distress markers to color the books and the cup and distress paints on my background. And just because “cracked pistachio” is new to my stash I just couldn’t keep away from it.
For my border I randomly stamped one of the grunge images by Tim Holtz and added some white highlights to pop it out a bit more.
You can enjoy the how-to video below or at my YouTube channel

I look forward to viewing your posts daily! I truly do “have fun and get inspired”. Thank you for sharing. Because of you I’ve ventured out with my own (somewhat poor) attempts at art journaling.

Fun indeed. Great ideas and inspiration as always. I agree anywhere anytime for a good book and a cuppa joe.
Coffee and books a killer combination 🙂
Amazing! Love how you “fix” the “mistake” As I always say, there are no mistakes in crafting, only chances to be more creative. So true, so true! This layout turned out great!
Thanks!

Dear Vicky, hi! I love your new art journal page! Reading a book with a coffee at hand is one of my favorite moments too! (especially under an umbrella on a sunny Greek beach…! I wonder how you would make an art journal page for this theme…any ideas??? 😉 ) What I love about Tim Holtz’s products is that they are so distinctive and so versatile! And his giveaway is awesome! Thank you so much for all the great video tutorials and all the inspiration.
This is totally awesome! That sentiment describes me to a T! There is nothing better than a cup of hot coffee(or iced in the summer) and a pile of books waiting to be read!! Thanks for sharing this awesome layout!! I really love it!
Ahh, Vicky and Tim products…what a match made in heaven!! You are so inspiring!! You both are 🙂
Vicky, you are so very talented. Great work, as always.
Love how this turned out! Your art journal makes me want to start one:)
As always another great page. I love books and reading as well as latte so this page really speaks to me!
Your projects are amazing, you are so talented. If I tried all the different techniques that you have shown my projects would not come out anywhere near as good as yours. I love watching your vidoes.
Love the way you blend with a baby wipe! Turns out just beautiful!
Yes, this is really a ‘Vicky Style’ page and I love it!
I just love your work Vicky and your videos are always so brilliant! Thank you for inspiring me again and again!!
I know I’ve said this before, but, I learn so many things from your video layouts – today, the shadowing and how to work around something that doesn’t please me on a page (instead of rolling it into a ball and throwing it away)! And, highlighting with your white gel pen too! Another two gorgeous journal pages – the colors and layouts are wonderful. Your art is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful imagination…and wonderful artwork. Thanks for being such an inspiration. I love your videos. I learn so much from you.
I enjoy your inspirational journal pages and videos very much! I love to watch you work, I mean play. I would love to be as creative as you – I will keep watching!
Your journal – AMAZING!!! Love what you did with the books- and the colors- WONDERFUL!
Although I loved yesterday’s crazy birds, I might even like this one more! Thanks for another inspirational journal layout.
Great pages as I love coffee as well. TFS
Vicky you are amazing! Your art is my all time favorite!!!! I love to watch you create your Art. Thank you for your inspiration!!!
I opened your post just as I finished ordering a book for my Kindle and was having my 2nd cup of coffee, so it was a double delight to watch the video. I couldn’t agree more that books and coffee are 2 of the most relaxing things I always have time for. LOVE this page — everything in/on it speaks to me.
Hi Vicky. Love this page, like I loved the birds. You are a fantastic inspiration. Whether you are making art journals or cards. I have been hooked on your videos since I saw the first one. Maybe 2 years ago. Not sure, time just fly when I watch you making something. Whatever you are making next time, I know it will be great. It is great to watch you making things, changing your mind and covering it with other items. And with doing that, make it even better. Thank you.

Can you tell me if you ever create anything bad. All I have ever seen you do is awesome. Even when you don’t like something you turn it into some wonderful. I just love watching you. Thank you.

I enjoy your journal videos so much! You are so creative and Tim Holtz products are great too.
Absolutely love this! Turned out so beautifully!
Absolutely fabulous!! More muted than the one from yesterday but a different kind of ‘LOVELY’!! You’ve done this book theme before, on a much older journal post, and that was really wonderful too! Thank you for sharing all these fantastic ideas with us!!
amazed with the work no words……………………
Hi Vicky. It is almost 2 a.m. here in my part of Canada and I could not sleep so checked my email and an email from YouTube showing your videos were there. I am so glad that I got it because no better way to pass the time than to watch you create magic. Wow, and Wow again. Your amazing girl! You have been blessed with some serious talent. And loved so much how you can be so patient and calm while creating and even making mistakes seem so relaxing and no big deal. Love that about you. Thanks for the give away and best of luck to everyone. Big Hugs.
Simply lovely 🙂
I simply love your art journals! I really think your style is very unique – colorful, well balanced and sometimes even funny. I love to watch the process and your comments and the nonchalant way you treat ‘mistakes’ which then turn out to be fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing your art and please don’t stop. I think you’ve got a lot of fans worldwide. I also love your cards and tried out a number of techniques you’ve shown us, but the art journal pages are just fantastic.
