Keep Taking Chances — A Monthly Art Journal Project Directions
Now, let's create your own art journal, so you can carry it along with you no matter where you are.
1. Inside Page
Start with the inside page first, with January in mind.
Embellish the first page of a large Moleskine journal with a scrap of vintage book text, glue down with gel medium.
Use a foam brush to dry brush gesso over the drying page.
Tear a colorful strip of paper from an Art Pop card and glue to the side of the page with gel medium.
Use a lid to outline six circles using a Ranger Fude Ball pen.
Whole punch decorative paper from Project Life cards, and glue circles inside the outlined circles. Use your finger to add a light coat of gesso over the circles.
Randomly add yellow and turquoise paint.
Stamp month onto extra-small grubby tag, and attach to the top of the page with a mini clothespin.
Add Small Talk stickers.
2. Front Cover
Embellish the front cover with gesso, then add yellow and turquoise paint.
Outline the circle with a jar and Ranger Fude Ball pen.
Add scraps from an Art Pop and Project Life card, along with book text to coordinate with the inside page.
Punch dots from book text and outline with a black pen.
Stamp inspirational phrase across the front cover with black ink.
Add doodles.

Mail Forwarded by the Post Office
If you forward mail to your new address through the Post Office, it won't apply to periodicals/your magazine subscription unfortunately. Also, since mail forwarding only lasts for a short time-frame, we request that you still notify us of your address change to prevent any service interruption to your subscription.
Stampington & Company cannot be held responsible for replacing "lost" issues from your subscription, if we did not receive your change of address request at least two months prior to your next issue's release date.
Subscription issues should arrive within the first week of the month your publication is released. Please add up to two weeks for international delivery.
If your magazine has not arrived by the 20th of the month, please contact our customer service department, so we can check to make sure nothing is amiss with your subscription, and see if you're eligible for a replacement copy. International subscribers can receive a digital version of the magazine as a replacement if one attempt has already been made to deliver the print edition to you.
Stampington & Company cannot be held responsible for postal delays or circumstances outside of our control, but we will make every effort to make it right.
