Today we are going to take a close-up look on the new Art Journal collection designed by my friend Marlene! I will also put some of these products together to create an art journal page too!
The collection is wonderful and unique, with her signature style all over it! You can find stamps, collage papers, die cut elements and even an art journal book with quality paper to work on! Check the video below for a close-up look on everything!
Here is the page I created by combining her collage paper with stamps and die cut elements!
So colorful and had so much fun making it! Plus it looks complicated but all I did was collage and stamping! The background is actually a Collage Paper ( JGG | AFT ). I just used matte medium to stick it down. Then I used on of the Bohemian Rubber Stamps ( JGG | AFT ) to add three stamped images.
I used my acrylic markers to add color to the stamped images and my Scribble Sticks ( JGG | SSS ) to add shadows and depth. To finish off the background I also did some collage with little circles I got from the Art by Marlene – Die Cut block – 2( AFT ).
I just love that you can have an amazing art journal background in no time! Perfect if you are a beginner or if you want to create something beautiful but you have limited time!
My lady is one of the Chubby Chicks Studio Light Art By Marlene Rubber Stamps – Chubby Chicks 3 ( JGG | AFT ) and there are actually 4 of them in the collection!

Love this bright, colorful page. This company is new to me. Great video showing your process.
That was fun! I’m not familiar with this collection, and I really like all the pieces, especially the large floral stamps.
Another beautiful and very fun art journal page. I love this new stamp line.
Very nice! Thank you for introducing me to this company. I really like those stamps and collage papers.
More great ideas. Thank you for sharing!
Bright and beautiful!!
WOW….I just love your friends Art ….the entire range is awesome….Thank you for sharing ??
I love this spread. I have created my own 8″ x 8″ journal and love using it. What type of paper did you create your original journal from? I used mixed media paper but am having a problem with it curling when I use matt medium on it. Please let me know

I used thick watercolor paper in mine.
Thank you
I love your page and the bright colours Marlene uses, but for me is the range a little to busy.
Although I have to say that some things, like some stamps, are great.
Thanks for showing.
What a fun collection! Love the layout, so whimsical and fun. Thanks for showing us these products and your journal page.
What fun this must have been to create! Love the collage papers!
Ooh, so awesome, Vicky! I actually have those two tissue paper pads, and now you have given me inspiration to use them! Love those stamps, too. They are so popular that I had to go on the wait list! Congrats to your friend for creating these fun elements for us mixed media gals!
What a whimsical and bright collection MARLENE has created!
I absolutely love the creative Journal Page you made from the papers and die cuts!
So fun and versatile ! Thank you Vicky for sharing this video.
Hi Vicky, I enjoyed watching you make the tab journal using this product. Does she have any digital stamps or stickers? I just have to have them now!!
Thanks for all you do
