Hey there sweet friend,

Are you interested in art journaling and not sure where to begin? Not new,

but in need of some creative inspiration?

These 101+ art journal prompts are just the thing to help you get your

creative juices flowing!

Included in this list are links to tutorials, and product recommendations to

help you get started. Keep in mind, though, you do not need to spend a lot

of money to start this journey. As a beginner, I encourage you to be as

thrifty as possible as you learn, and then, later on after you have built up a

bit of confidence, feel free to purchase supplies you are interested in using.

Links to product recommendations are products that I love and

recommend to my own family and friends.

Here are some guidelines to remember as you begin {or continue!} your art

journaling journey:

1. Perfectionism is not permitted.

2. Comparison of others is not permitted.

3. Respecting where you are in your own personal journey is required.

4. Courage to step out of your comfort zone is required.

5. Finding joy in the process is encouraged.

6. Supporting one another with love & friendship is mandatory.

7. Using simple supplies and household items you have on hand are all you need to get started.

8. Expensive supplies are not required, thriftiness is encouraged.

9. FINISH WHAT YOU START! <--- the most difficult, but most beneficial step!

Here’s to making beautiful messes, sweet friend! Be sure to check out our

Art Journaling for Beginners Facebook GROUP, our Art Journaling for

Beginners Facebook PAGE, and my Youtube channel for more tips, tricks and

art journaling inspiration.
