Creative Journaling 101



How can anyone not love learning?
I've been having so much fun drawing in my recycled journal and just loving the look of the line drawings but felt the work was missing something.
Needing a little inspiration...
I decided to check out the latest periodicals at Barnes & Nobles. The answer to my question was right in front of me. The latest issue of Journaling by Somerset Studio. To make things even better I noticed an article written by Karen Cole, of Artsortments, yeah Karen!
Needless to say I purchased the magazine, read every article and decided it was time to take an on-line course on both Book Making and Creative Journaling.
I just can't help myself. I love to learn.

  1. I hope you enjoy your journey into life long learning. Making books by hand is a fascinating and rewarding venture. The journal is looking good!

  4. Teacher is another word for lifetime learner! Its a trait all Nazareth College education grads have in common.
