Art Journal Page | September

I might have mentioned this before, but I’ve been falling in love with the messy, artsy look to my pages. I’m a simple, grid loving girl at heart, but I love getting my hands messy and playing with paint and “chaos.”  Now that the messy, painty trend has been filtering into the digital scrapbooking world. I get the artsy look on my pages, without the messy clean-up. So much love.

I made this page with elements from Amy Jaz Designs, Tracy Martin’s “Daydream,” and the free September template from The LilyPad.  I made the page after my mom and I went with my church to the Beth Moore “Living Proof Live” event earlier in September. I loved every moment of it.. except for the 4+ hour drive home on the bus 😉

Are you loving the artsy look that’s popular lately?
