Home Inspirations Art Journal

I realise I havent posted any art journalling in a long time! I found these pictures in my iphoto of an art journal i made last year... im so ashamed i havent updated until now!

The cover - beautiful non?! Ok... the graph paper was downloaded from the internet - like a account ledger and printed on cream cardstock. (the png files/clip art is fro the wonderful pugly pixel)

The brown sticker is from Crate Paper - Season stickers - available here. Crafty kitty is a fab ebay shop - very reasonable international shipping. I always buy my crafty things that i cant find in the UK here.

The flower is one of primas i got a long time ago. The yellow button was vintage and the yellow lace from a haberdashery shop. 

I went nuts cutting out magazines and using Washi Tape!

I love this colour :) as many of you may already know lol 

I think the workspace page is my favourite layout! Images cut out from a graham and greene catalogue and a country living UK magazine.

Who isnt inspired by orla kiely?!

 I like these pictures too :)

Inspiration Station | Spruce up a Frame

Now I am well aware you guys have probably seen this before, as i first saw this on Decor8 a LONG time ago but saw it again. I LOVE IT! I think its a great idea for an art project but it would be AMAZING for my Hall way. If only i could get someone in to paint my hallway haha! Any takers? 

I just completely adore this set up. I have the Coralie BIckford Smith collection and they would look AMAZING up like this! Im so tempted to do this.. I just need to find some reasonably priced frames and to figure out how to make a waterproof backing with my limited resources!

A vase, a shelf and a hook.

These are one of many quirky products from the. who also offer other items such as a speech-bubble shaped speaker, anti-theft lunch bags and a large-pocketed shirt. Found via inspire*inspire.
