Hi, I’m Katrina Rollings and I am part of Tangie's Creative Crew. Each month I write a mixed media blog post to give you ideas for using Tangie's kits and collage sheets.
This month though, I had a slight problem, my printer was down and I had no way to print out the pages I wanted to use.
So I turned to my drawer full of collage pieces that didn’t make it into the art journal page they were printed out for. I can never bring myself to throw them away!
I hadn’t made a glue book page for a while so that’s what I decided to do.
I have made a video to show you how I did it
My Glue Book is an old book I took all of the pages out of and replaced them with pages of watercolour paper. It sounds difficult but it really isn’t. There are lots of YouTube videos around that will show you how.
Of course you can use any book you wish as there are absolutely no “must do’s” or “must haves” when it comes to Glue Books or Art journaling despite what some craft product company’s would have you believe. As long as you enjoy the process and like the end result that is what matters.
Everyone makes up their pages differently, but this is the way I go about designing my pages. I start by covering up the whole page with different pieces of background papers and larger collage pieces.
Once I have the base layer I look for a piece that can be my focal image. Then I find some smaller pieces that compliment the larger image. I like to play around with the design a bit before I glue them all down.
I decide at the beginning of my book that I would only use paper and glue but you don’t have to do it that way, you might like to use markers, watercolours, coloured pencils, anything you like! I do like text on my pages though and tend to add my words last.
I hope you have a go with a Glue book, they are great for a quick arty fix and perfect to take on holiday too. You just add some collage pieces and a glue stick and you are good to go. It’s nice to add some bits from your holiday into your holiday pages. Perhaps a ticket, images from a leaflet or even pressed flowers.
Enjoy the video, it’s my very first one so I hope you like it.
If you do make a Glue book I would love to see the pages you make, why not post them on out Facebook page!

It's not too late to join "The Artist's Way Workshop"!. Tangie is hosting a creative cluster for Julia Cameron's book The Artist's Way. In her words:
"This book has helped me more than I can say in my creative journey, but it's been a few years and I had at least ten things happen right in a row that pointed me to take this journey again, I'd love for you to come with me! The Artist's Way is an invaluable guide to living the creative life. Creativity can come in many forms (painter, parent, writer, chef, ideation, sketching, spouse, singer, et al.)."

Hello, my name is Katrina and I am a member of Tangie’s Creative Crew. Each month I create a mixed media project using Tangie’s wonderful products.
This month I am using the beautiful Artist sheets included in the May deliveries with an Art Journal Emporium subscription. If you are not a member it is worth checking it out.
I decided to make a mini journal, I thought this was a cute little project you could make as a card for someone or could take on holiday with you to play with or even, like I did sit in the garden and make as it is small enough to fit on a lap tray or garden table.
To begin, I printed the Artist sheets out. Mine are printed on the half page setting on my printer, so I got 2 Artist sheets per A4 sheet. This made them a better size to fit the little journal
To make the journal itself I cut an A4 sheet of white card in half long ways and then folded it into 4 sections.
I then covered it with colour. You can use what ever you want to really, even a couple of the Artist Sheets themselves would make beautiful backgrounds but I chose to use my watercolours today.
I just tried to use colours which would compliment the Artist Sheets. It looks like an awful lot of watercolours there!! The Prima set on the left and the set on the right are sets I bought at a European chain of supermarkets called Lidl. They are famous for bargain prices here in the U.K. and their non food products that change every week. Here Supermarkets still only sell mainly food. Lidl have art and Craft weeks and I got a large set of tube watercolours which I decanted into empty pans I bought online. Wow, the things you learn through crafting 😊.
The point I was trying to get to is that they are not expensive paints.
I did also do the back using some powdered watercolours called Brushos, I will show you that side at the end.
Next I sat in the sun in the garden and cut some of the flowers and birds out of the Artist sheets.
I played around with the collage pieces untill I was happy. Then I glued them down.
As you can see I changed the design slightly, wasn’t sure of the birds. So I am afraid they flew away.
Then I just added some more colour around the flowers using my crayons and liquid watercolour.
I searched online for a nice quote and wrote it on the journal, running through both sides.
The other side had a much darker pallet but still looked good with the darker Artist Sheets.
So I continued the quote on this side to make it a two sided journal.
Of course this type of mini journal would work with any theme you wish to use and is a nice little project to work on.
It would be perfect if you want to try mixed media art journaling but only have limited resources.
What ever you do with your mini journal I would love to see them. Why not put them up on our Facebook group!
If you have any questions about the project I am happy to answer them.
Well that’s it for now, join me again next month for another Mixied Media project.
