And more creating...
told you I was in the mood today.
Here is what I put together for my Christmas Art Journal cover and first page. I am going to use this as a daily record of the holiday and then use the other one I already put together (with the circles) for the great photos to come...
For the first page I painted a small film reel and attached it using ribbon. Added in some Basic Grey ribbon and some KI accents. The little tree stamp in the bottom will be repeated each day as a way to unite the whole book together. 
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful work, girl! I just can't wait to spend some time with you at CKU-A Chicago! Hoping some of your creativity will rub off on me! Thanks for sharing, Ali.

Very inspiring. Totally beats the scraps of paper I'm jotting my notes for the season on. Thanks for reminding us all how important it is to "write it all down." Love the quote from Anna Quindlen. It really struck a cord. Lisa :)

Oh that is so wonderful! I didn't think about numbering each of my pages, I might have to sorta scraplift that repeated pattern idea with a different stamp or something...hmmmm...

Ali,
I am just lovin the direction your work is going in lately - LOVE IT! I am so happy to see that scrapbooking is really taking off in to a more "altered" and...I'll say "artsy" type of style. Thank you for bringing this to people as you definitely have a great influence on many!
Keep posting the journal - it's so awesome!
