Background Pages Tutorial

Heather Goldsmith — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 07:06:54 +0000

One of my favourite places for visual journal inspiration is the Creative Clown blog. Today there’s a great tutorial for making background pages to journal on or to create further visual masterpieces. I hope you enjoy the free tutorial and let Zura know by leaving a comment for her. I like the wide scope of this idea. Zura invites you to use the image she has supplied, but you could use just about anything, especially if you are working to a theme. What a great sharing spirit.

Heather Goldsmith — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:33:00 +0000

I was really surprised to learn that Zura of Creative Clown forwarded this Arte y Pico Award onto me. Yet, it pleases me no end to think she finds my blog inspiring. My main hope with this blog is to get people writing/creating journals they will use and benefit from, so I accept the award if it gets anyone doing those things. In the spirit of the award I need to name five others who I think are equally deserving, in no particular order, the people and their blogs follow. The rules are posted below, too.

Shai Coggins with her wonderful Studio blog.
Hanna Andersson with her gorgeous iHanna blog.
Samantha Kira Harding with her visually inspiring A Girl & Her Journal blog.
Lisa Vollrath with the fantastic Go Make Something blog.
Mary Emma Allen for her awesome Quilting & Patchwork blog.

Rules:

1) You have to pick 5 blogs that you copnsider deserve this award, creativity, design, interesting material, and also contrubuites to the blogger community, no matter of language.

2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.

3) Each award-winning, has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog thathas given her or him the ward itself.

4) Award-winning and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y pico”blog , so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5) To show these rules.

I’ve only just seen this! If you sign up for Zura’s Creative Clown weekly newsletter you will receive a free e-book. The e-book is from a course developed by Zura. “Journal Prompt Cards” shows you how to make an artistic set of cards to use as journal writing prompts. Looks like something you can’t miss. I’ve already signed up and am waiting on my free e-book as I write this.
