Hi Pam. Art journaling is still pretty new to me, but i literally cant spend one moment of the day look up tutorials, pictures blogs, and materials on it. Art journaling is my new passion. It gives me a way to be able to open up my heart. I never thought i could do it at first because i am NOT perfect, but then it made me realize that i dont have to be, and that is my favorite part. the most important thing is that when i am art journaling i actually do feel free.
xo
Thanks!

This would be a great addition to my Library. I love making Art Journals, it gives me an Avenue for expression, which I don’t have in Quilting. I enjoy so many different mediums and love to learn New ways to use them.
It also gives me the freedom to do what ever I want.
Thank you for this giveaway.

Art journaling for me is about discover myself in many ways. I can use a lot of different materials en writing text that tells me something about me! It makes me learn that time for myself is a good thing…
September 16th, 2011 at 8:58 am
Good Morning,
I would love to win one of your CD’s.
I think art journaling has helped me to express myself in different ways and at times when I don’t want anyone else to see what is there except me, I can cover it up but still know that I have put it down on paper and released those feelings. I also feel it has helped me to grow as an artist. I have come so far in my ability to draw and paint in the last year or so because I started journaling. I am so excited about that and so enjoy my crafts and art now.
Thanks for the offer, Regards, Cindy

I hope this doesn’t post twice. I tried once already but it doesn’t look like it worked.
Art journaling has opened up a whole new world of expression.
thanks for entering me in your dvd giveaway.

Ilove being able to “let go” with no worry about doing it wrong, very freeing!
August 8th, 2011 at 9:50 pm
I just began art journaling. The thing I love about it the most is that there is no right or wrong way. It is so personal. I just finished my first page and the time that I worked on it was a joy!
July 28th, 2011 at 1:48 am
I’m so excited to watch your new DVD. I am heading into major surgery next week and will use this as a carrot for healing. Originally I had hoped to see you in Petaluma, but thought my recovery really wouldn’be be quick enough to enjoy your workshops. This way, I can work at my own healing pace. I’ve also got my fingers crossed that I can sign up for your 2012 Italy adventure before you fill up. But I must wait until after surgery to know what I can expect. Meanwhile thank you for your inspiration and your art. I am so glad you are able to share your gifts with me.

Happy Birthday!
I love art journaling because it is an expression of me – there is no right or wrong way to do it!
July 27th, 2011 at 1:18 am
What I love most about art journaling is all the wonderful people who share about it, and the myriad ways of going about this creative process. Congratulations on all your success, Pam. And many blessings on your birthday. Hope Oshkosh is good to you!

July 26th, 2011 at 8:34 pm
Your birthday is the same day as my hubbie’s… cool. I love doing journal pages, because each page is it’s own creative art piece.. not just a page, but to me, a great art page. Sometimes, I put so many hours into one page and get lost in the process.
July 26th, 2011 at 8:06 pm
I loved this video, had some great ideas that sparked a creative idea for me. I love art journaling. I keep several journals at a time so that I can experiment with different papers, media and ideas. I am enjoying your blog and videos. Would love to have a new one in the giveaway.
July 26th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Journaling lets me breathe. Big deep breaths!
Would love your DVD; I’m a huge fan!

I love to play in my art journal. It’s a great way to try out new drawings, color combinations, and ideas.
Happy Birthday!
July 26th, 2011 at 4:27 pm
This is a very sought-after blog prize! I love just playing in my art journals, especially trying out color combinations.
Happy Birthday!
July 26th, 2011 at 3:44 pm
It lets me go to another place where I don’t really have to think….an escape!!
July 26th, 2011 at 12:49 pm
Pam, I am also a newbie. I just love everything about are journaling and you make it look so fun and easy. Hopefully I will be as good as you are one day. Thanks and I hope to win the DVD.
July 26th, 2011 at 10:35 am
I love art journaling because I can play, explore, make a big mess and then discover something new about myself which is very healing.
July 26th, 2011 at 9:47 am
Your book, “Art at The Speed of Life” introduced me to art journalling and I am hooked. It provides a way to create without alot of barriers. I look at it as brain exercise, a great forum for self expression and working the right side of my brain, a springboard for using color, collage, writing, words, design, resist, all of my art supplies that I have amassed over the years…it’s the perfect avenue for someone like me…an artist at heart.
July 26th, 2011 at 8:15 am
Happy birthday Pam.
Art journaling reminds me that it is never too late to have a happy childhood.
July 26th, 2011 at 6:44 am
I am hooked on art journaling because of you and Paula. I am already planning on ordering both of your DVDs, but will send this in anyway, just in case!! Thanks for all of your wonderful instruction on Utube and your blog.
July 26th, 2011 at 6:33 am
Big Congrats on your DVD Pam! You are one busy lady! Would love to win…and to answer your question about art journaling – what I like best is: anything goes!
July 26th, 2011 at 5:12 am
Congratulations Pam… so happy for your new successes.
)
I love the freedom of journaling… there are no mistakes.
July 25th, 2011 at 8:48 pm
I love art journaling because I can combine my love of words with my love of color. I can experiment and try new techniques. I love art journaling because you can pour out your heart and if you don’t want anyone to read it, you can cover it all up with paint. You know it ‘s there but no one else does. Art journaling allows you to be yourself and not worry about making a beautiful work of art (though that’s great, too). You can express yourself and not worry about what other people think.
July 25th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Pam,
Art journaling to me is a self experssion of words and art. It helps me focus in on creating and I feel good with a sense of accomplishment. Love the giveway.
Blessings, Cathy Garrett

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! PAM<3 Journaling for me a learning process for me as I learn to have fun and play with ART!<3 Vanessa Evers
July 25th, 2011 at 12:34 pm
For me art journaling is a chance to experiment and be adventurous in the comfort of my own room. I’m learning things about myself all the time and I’m growing creatively. You are inspirational.
Big love
AJ
July 25th, 2011 at 11:18 am
I’m still in learning process, took one of your workshops before and love your techniques. One of the things I like about journaling is that my doodles suddenly look more like art, it has given me a new perspective on things.
July 25th, 2011 at 9:20 am
What I don’t want to reveal in words to the world can be done in images which reminds me what I felt that day/time. It makes for more interest by adding pictorial content so I do enjoy journaling in this way – appeals more to the artistic side of me.
Thank you for your inspiration.
July 25th, 2011 at 9:13 am
I love being in the art zone as long as I can. Nothing better! Maybe a cup of good tea and a cat along side!
July 25th, 2011 at 8:25 am
I am just starting out with art journaling and love what you have done.
July 25th, 2011 at 7:56 am
Happy Birthday to you and congrats! What I love about art journaling is that I can express my feelings by journaling while doing so in an artistic way.
July 25th, 2011 at 7:50 am
What I love about art journalling is that it is art from the soul!
July 25th, 2011 at 6:42 am
i love that art jounaling has started to bring out my creative side in new ways. my “art” has always been photography in the past.
July 25th, 2011 at 4:52 am
Art journalling allows me to make a visual diary of my life. An image gives so many visual clues to anyone looking at a journal. Images tell me more than words how I was feeling, what was in my heart at the time, where it is all leading. Journals are treasures to be kept and shared with your closest friends, the ones you love most and who know you, the real you.
July 25th, 2011 at 3:41 am
Discovered art journaling only a few weeks ago. But now I know it is THE thing I’ve been looking for
What I like most about it is that it combines different creative pursuits: writing, drawing, painting,…
July 25th, 2011 at 3:38 am
I have recently discovered to journal with art
So many ways to uplift my heart
I paint, draw, stamp, stitch, cut and glue
Old techniques blend with new
No pressure, no expectations perfection’s not the goal
But every moment is good for the soul
Now I’ve started I cannot stop
My Art Journal is hard to top!
Ha, ha maybe I should stick to the Art Journal instead of the poetry but it really does make my heart sing. And I do love the inspiration that I get from you Pam *hugs*
July 25th, 2011 at 2:55 am
I love the stuff you do with colours and textures, I’m still a bit timid applying all that to my journals! There is sooooo much to learn and so little time to get it all done!
July 25th, 2011 at 1:33 am
What I love about art journaling: there are no rules. It’s purely and only just for me, unless I choose to share. No expectations, lots of adventures!
July 24th, 2011 at 10:54 pm
Hi! I would love to win one, you are so inspirational !! I love journalling because I can do it in colour….
July 24th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
The thing I like about art journaling is that I don’t have to write words, just make pictures! I can express better through pictures.
July 24th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
As cheesey as it sounds, I am a HUGE fan of your work and hope, hope, HOPE I get picked for one of the DVD’s. You’re awesome – even if I don’t get picked. Thanks for sharing your work, your techniques and your abundance!
July 24th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
I am a beginner at art journaling so I could really use your new dvd. I love your book Art at the Speed of Life and have lots of little page markers sticking out and ruffling the edges. Congrats on the dvd.
July 24th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
I had a chance to take your online class Angel Anthology last year and loved it. I love to learn and incorporate your techniques into my work. Thanks for the opportunity to learn more! Your artwork is fantastic.
July 24th, 2011 at 8:55 am
love your work… would love to learn from you.
July 24th, 2011 at 8:54 am
Love your work… would love to learn more from you.
July 24th, 2011 at 8:24 am
For me, the most awesome thing about art journaling is the supplies. I love the variety of tools and supplies incorporated from other art venues. Every day I use at least one or two things that my grandmother used in her studio (which was passed down to me)…pen nibs, brushes, old Sargent pastels, stuff from my own jewelry and stained glass studio, ranch rust which i’ve picked up over the years…everything works it’s way into some phase of my books. And now, with so many free videos online, I have learned many new techniques (I just made my first alcohol inks and glimmer mist).I recently found your site and instantly knew there is so much more to learn…Thanks for all that you give.
July 24th, 2011 at 5:11 am
I appreciate most the enthusiasm any journaling adds to my day
July 24th, 2011 at 12:57 am
oh! I love the healing of journaling…getting it all out. I love using every thing in my life in a book form that is portable and that you can share…
Hope I win!

I would love a chance to win your video. I love art journaling because I feel free to experiment and do whatever I want.
July 23rd, 2011 at 7:55 pm
What I love about art journaling is assembling my materials, the experimentation, the colors, textures, papers, images seem to talk to me and I just play until it feels right. Would simply love to have the DVD. good luck to all my fellow art journalers!
July 23rd, 2011 at 7:50 pm
What I love about art journaling is there are no mistakes. I can try something and cover it up with gesso if I don’t like it. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
July 23rd, 2011 at 5:19 pm
i am so glad you made this video! i LOVE your book and website so i am keeping my fingers and toes crossed
July 23rd, 2011 at 5:18 pm
Oh Dear Pam!
What I am so enjoying about Art Journalling is that it is so new to me. When I recently “discovered” you it was like a key was turned and a whole new world openned up! I love the sense of freedom and openness I feel as I create these unintimidating works of Art! And I feel so blessed to have found exactly the right teacher in you! Thank you so much!
July 23rd, 2011 at 2:40 pm
Congrats on your DVD!! What I like about art journaling is the sense that there are no boundaries…I can do what comes to me…play in its true sense!!
July 23rd, 2011 at 2:25 pm
Art journaling allows me to create art with thought. Adding bits of my daily ramblings along with the flow of my creative juices brings them to life. Art journalling validates my otherwise disconnected thoughts.
July 23rd, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Oh! HAppY DaY thAt YoU were Born! Pam, all the applause is so well deserved, I’m inspired and would love to win your DVD. happy B-day!
July 23rd, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Congrats on your new DVD! How exciting!
What I like about art journaling…well, there are many things, but a favorite aspect is the freedom it allows me. I know that I never have to show it to anyone, if I so choose. For me, there are no mistakes in art journaling – anything can be reworked or covered up or added to.
Thanks for a chance to win!
July 23rd, 2011 at 2:09 pm
I love that it allows me to express myself without words…it gives me absolute freedom!
July 23rd, 2011 at 12:33 pm
I love that you can be completely FREE when you art journal. (and I mean that in all possible ways). thanks for a chance to win
July 23rd, 2011 at 9:16 am
I started this year with mixed media art journaling. I have enjoyed playing with so many different types of media that I have never played with. My art is not as talented as others but it is mine and I am learning.
July 23rd, 2011 at 8:41 am
Art journaling to me is the sum of all my work so far in life…I am 50-something and have always wanted so badly to be an “artist”. I have always been crafty, but never thought of my art as “artistic”….well, through the wonderful art community online I have found that (gasp) I really am an artist, just needed someone to tell me…It has been an eye-opener and now I am turning out art like never before. It has been great therapy and has set me on a very different path than I had thought. I am having so much fun!
July 23rd, 2011 at 7:05 am
I am new to art journaling but I love the feeling of expressing myself in a safe environment and also it’s like playing again!
July 23rd, 2011 at 6:37 am
Hi Pam, I love journalling as I can take it everywhere I go and can create anywhere. I’d be lost without it. I find it very theraputic. A visual journal is the ultimate travel companion. My fingers are crossed as I would love to win your Dvd. Good luck everyone.

July 23rd, 2011 at 6:03 am
the 27th is a lucky day for me too! My oldest daughter’s birthday and she will be 18! I love the liberation of art journaling… playing with color, form, text…..
July 23rd, 2011 at 3:51 am
i dont know if my previous comment is on here…looked but cant find it…hope i dont disqualify myself by doing this again…but i dont want to pass up a chance to win your dvd!
I love art journaling because it is allowing me to find myself amidst all the daily to dos and to care a little about myself as i go about caring for others in my world.
July 23rd, 2011 at 3:45 am
I love that there are no rules to art journaling.
July 22nd, 2011 at 11:50 pm
I love journaling for the art and also a way to express myself. Congrates on your new DVD!!!!
July 22nd, 2011 at 8:01 pm
I would LOVE to win your dvd, been following since doing and loving your workshop on Strathmore. Thanks for all the inspiration.
July 22nd, 2011 at 5:56 pm
I would love to win a CD with your tips on it. You are an inspiration to me and I just love your work, it is always so well thought out and beautiful.
While journaling can be therapeutic in many ways I feel art journaling gives me a way to express myself visually, emotionally, and verbally all at the same time and not think about the outcome of the page because I can always gesso over it and start again. LOL!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Regards, Cindy
July 22nd, 2011 at 4:01 pm
i’m so proud of you pam! how wonderful to have the opportunity to make a video. loved the sneak peek! you did a wonderful job! i love journaling because it allows me to unleash creative ideas i had no idea were inside of me. it’s so fun to see what gets uncovered when i sit down at my journals. you birthday is right around the corner – i hope it’s fantastic!
July 22nd, 2011 at 2:46 pm
I love the art journal things I am grateful for just to remind me how blessed i really am. It also lifts my spirits:)
I hope I win;)
July 22nd, 2011 at 12:17 pm
Gee, I am trying to motivate myself to start art journaling. I love your art style. I was soooo excited when I first saw you in my stamping magazine. I would love to receive your new DVD so hope I am the random winner. I am so happy to see you going forward in your creative adventure.
July 22nd, 2011 at 12:06 pm
I love ARt Journaling as I love to see this flat, slim book evolve into a thick, fat book that is filled with what ever emotion I might have chosen that day to express. Either exposed to see or said and covered, either way its my emotions all right there for only my eyes to see. Fun for me to see each page what I choose right then ,to paint,write, dabble,doodle then seeing much later, that same page once again. Always I find, I am adding to a certain page,even a year later.
July 22nd, 2011 at 12:02 pm
I’ve been art journaling for about 4 years now, and love how it puts my life into perspective. It helps me to find the humor in situations, and reminds me that I am a creative artistic person. Even when I don’t feel like I am.
July 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 am
I’m new to mixed media work. My past (and current) work has been in graphic design, event design and interior design. Last year I started a subcription to CPS and was connected to your book, Art at the Speed of Life. After reading in it last night I figured I would connect to some other artists’ blogs and I’m making my first art journal today! Thanks for your inspirations!
July 22nd, 2011 at 10:54 am
I enjoy the creative play process and expressing things that words may not be able to convey!
July 22nd, 2011 at 10:42 am
I am new to art journaling. I love the fact that there are no mistakes. This coming from a left brained person. I am attempting to refind my right side and doing art journalling is fun. I would love to win your dvd. I think it will help me to go a long ways in this journey.
July 22nd, 2011 at 10:12 am
If you’re very good at writing in a journal, making art is the next best thing! Your art is fantastic.
July 22nd, 2011 at 8:57 am
Thank you for the opportunity to win your new DVD. I love art journaling. I love creating painted/inked “atmosphere” on which to express my thoughts. Your work is beautiful, and I appreciate your generosity. My birthday is the 25th. How funny would that be if your birthday present was my birthday present!
July 22nd, 2011 at 8:31 am
art journalin is a new occupation for me? It is my secret helper – to push my creativuty, to keep my ideas reacheable, to relax, etc, etc!
July 22nd, 2011 at 5:24 am
I’ve long admired all that I have seen of art journals, but I have always been hesitant to start my own. I’m currently taking your workshop at Artful Gathering. I’m enjoying the freedom to experiment and would love to learn more. Mary
July 22nd, 2011 at 4:22 am
What do I love about art journaling. I love that there is not limits as to what you can do. Paint, paper, stickers, glitter, ink….whatever your heart desires. I love that I can write what I am feeling and if I don’t want others to read I can create an art page over it, but somehow I don’t ever forget what I was feeling when I created it. I love how free it makes me feel!
July 22nd, 2011 at 3:52 am
I am new to art journalling – love the freedom of it and love your work.
July 22nd, 2011 at 2:45 am
Oh that’s awesome! I’m a beginning mixed media – well artist is maybe a big word – but im starting to discover my mixed media path. Loved the sneak-peak
July 22nd, 2011 at 1:00 am
I love the written word – paper – art and the creative process! I always have and I always will! Learning some new techniques with the DVD would be great and appreciated, too
July 21st, 2011 at 11:26 pm
Dear Pam: I’d love to have a chance to win … I love your work!
July 21st, 2011 at 11:00 pm
I am new to art journaling and loving the creative freedom it brings….its so much fun! Your DVD looks wonderful
July 21st, 2011 at 10:31 pm
Ohhhh…did I need to say I’d love to win your DVD??? Thanks for your consideration!
July 21st, 2011 at 10:30 pm
This IS sooo AWESOME!! You are so good at demoing!! Congrats to you!!
July 21st, 2011 at 10:17 pm
Congratulations, Pam!
Art journaling keeps me sane … I think.
July 21st, 2011 at 10:08 pm
Hi Pam, Congratulations, how excited you must be and the upcoming trip next year.
I love to art journal for art journalling’s sake, stress release, experiment with new techniques and just have plain fun.
July 21st, 2011 at 8:36 pm
I love using my art journal to try techniques and colour combinations; it gives me the freedom to try something without judging – the perfect place for allowing creativity to grow!
July 21st, 2011 at 5:44 pm
I love the freedom to just paint, write, doodle… without feeling like it has to be perfect!! That truly is what makes art journaling fun = ) Thanks for offering such an awesome give away…whoa!
July 21st, 2011 at 5:36 pm
Hey Pam,
just got your book, and am really enjoying it! Congrats on the DVD! I love journaling, but I have so much to say that sometimes the words take precedence over the “art” part of it, so I’m working on getting some backgrounds done in advance, so I don’t have to wait when I just GOTTA write! Thanks for the inspiration..

July 21st, 2011 at 4:40 pm
I have recently started Art Journaling and I love the freedome of just letting my “in the moment” feelings take over when creating. I’m not a harsh critic on my work because there is no right or wrong, it’s just feelings!
July 21st, 2011 at 4:34 pm
Love the video, Pam! What an awesome giveaway. THanks for the chance of winning.
What I love about journaling is that I can pour my soul out and then cover it with paint. I’m lef with beautiful artistic expression in a book. 
July 21st, 2011 at 4:24 pm
Looooove your teaching style and your encouragement. Thank you for this chance.
July 21st, 2011 at 4:23 pm
Oh, Thank you, Pam!! Loooove your teaching style-you are so encouraging and talented!
July 21st, 2011 at 4:16 pm
Art journaling to me is a series of mind maps, capturing a mood and related throughts through techniques, color, and imagery.
July 21st, 2011 at 3:59 pm
Art journaling is the best way to record small, everyday moments that would otherwise be forgotten. When you sketch something, the details of where you were, what you thought about, who you talked with, etc., become embedded in memory more vividly than if you took a photograph or merely jotted some notes.
July 21st, 2011 at 2:40 pm
For me art journaling is a personal exercise in art where I can’t make any mistakes, can practice new methods, and express myself freely.
July 21st, 2011 at 2:31 pm
I, too, would love this, as I am trying to push myself into doing more of it and need an extra inspiration…I am a fine artist – who really needs to journal more…Your lessons at Strathmore were very helpful in getting me to begin! Thanks!
July 21st, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Wow! Would love to win Your DVD…
Art journaling is an excuse for me to open my box of art materials
and use this and that and feel like a kid again!
Thank you for this chance/
July 21st, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Great Give-away! The thing I like about art journaling is the fact that I’m telling MY story. I can choose to paint, doodle, glue, stamp, etc but it is still MY story. My legacy to my grandchildren…
July 21st, 2011 at 1:49 pm
I love using my journal to try out all the different techniques. I can’t wait to learn more!
July 21st, 2011 at 1:15 pm
Hi Pam – your friend Gill from the UK here
I hope you have a wonderful birthday on the 27th, and thank you for the opportunity to win one of your new DVD’s.
Art Journaling for me is a form of being creative that can be as private or public as I want it to be. It is a format for experimentation – trying out new ideas, materials and techniques that I may then want to use in other artwork.
July 21st, 2011 at 12:54 pm
Congratulations on your new DVD and……Happy Birthday!
July 21st, 2011 at 12:47 pm
Art journaling gives me an outlet for my ideas and feelings, it is great therapy.
I took your Strathmore workshop and would love to win this DVD.
July 21st, 2011 at 12:35 pm
Hi Pam,

Art journal is my secret world…I love free expression of feelings on paper
July 21st, 2011 at 10:50 am
I am fairly new to painting scene – I love art journaling because it isn’t as intimidating as a big piece of white canvas.
Love your work!
July 21st, 2011 at 10:17 am
I love being able to express myself through this medium…I feel free!
July 21st, 2011 at 10:12 am

What I love about art journaling is the creative legacy it will leave. I imagine my great great grandchildren reading my journals and remembering this time.

I love art journaling because it sets a part of me free that I hadn’t known was trapped!! Early Happy Birthday!
July 21st, 2011 at 8:20 am
What do I love about art journaling?
I love that I can express myself with out really be able to know how to actually draw and still creative something beautiful that has meaning.
As a crafter and creative thinker since birth, I have always looked for ways to fit in my kind of art. I have seen different techniques of journaling and mixed media, but nothing really clicked until I found Pam’s website. I was hooked and I knew that it was for me. I have been so inspired!
July 21st, 2011 at 8:05 am
Hi, I bought your book recently. Guess I need to dive in and start. x
July 21st, 2011 at 7:59 am
New to art journaling and have been inspire by what you do. I like journaling because I can try new techniques and express my ideas in a non stress manner.
July 21st, 2011 at 7:31 am
Art journaling is a form of meditation for me. It gives the “monkey mind” a way to express itself. I can create with abandon.
July 21st, 2011 at 7:15 am
Your video looks awesome! I like art journalling because there’s no one right way, it’s a fabulous way for anyone to try out their creativity with no rules.
July 21st, 2011 at 6:43 am
I’m still new to art journaling. I am drawn to the uninhibited artistic expression. Your journal is a place to try new things, enjoy the creative process, and perhaps learn a little bit about yourself.
July 21st, 2011 at 6:32 am
I was so excited about the new dvd that I ordered one but would love to be able to give a friend a copy too! I’ve always kept an art journal since childhood and used to think that I was the only one. Sooooo happy to see that my life’s passion is shared by so many.
July 21st, 2011 at 6:02 am
hey girlfriend, great lookin’ DVD….so excited for you! I think you know what my heart loves about art journaling….the freedom, adventure, escape, therapy, release, joy, playtime, safety and more that it gives me. And I don’t think I’d know all that were it not for the classes I took with you! Thanks
and happy birthday, in advance.
July 21st, 2011 at 4:42 am
I have wanted to try art journaling for ages, I know I am creative and desperately need something to express this. I have now gathered a lot of the materials needed to get started, I even have a Moleskine……..but I am too afraid to mess up a page!!!!!! I NEED HELP!
July 21st, 2011 at 4:36 am
I read your book and instead of writing about my day I made and art journal page using many of the ideas from the book. I used your glue ideas. So I watched trash on TV about weddings a dress appeared I cut out my black dress it appeared with bits of fabric and paper pattern. My mail order arrived so there were black panty hose every where plus my new boots and all on a background of patterned cardigan Oh I forgot tried knitting cut it up and glued it to the edge. I loved the approach.

Art journaling gives wings to my creative soul.
July 21st, 2011 at 2:11 am
Ms. Carriker, you clearly underestimate yourself if you thought you were going to have any problems going over 100 comments! All I have to do is look at the print of yours that hangs over the doorway in my 7-yr-old daughter’s bedroom to know that your art appeals to many, many people. So pat yourself on the back and smile, as you have earned it.
Art journaling for me is something that I am still trying to embrace. I did the three Strathmore workshops and have nearly every book published on the subject. I’m great at doing the prep work on the pages–it’s the part about adding honest content that tends to stop me in my tracks every time. But with great determination, I get closer every time, and I learn to listen to my heart . . . that’s what art journaling is doing for me.
July 21st, 2011 at 1:44 am
Hello Pam. I just love your art journaling. I like art journaling because it gives me the opportunity to express my filling not only with words but also with drawing.
Unfortunately in Slovenia this kind of art is not very known so I have to get all the info and inspiration in foreign web sides.
July 21st, 2011 at 12:56 am
What do I love about art journalling
- working through the things going on in my life
- the time that disappears while I am in that wonderful ‘creative zone’
- creating something especially the belief in myself that I am able to do art!
- all the yummy art supplies!!!
All the best to you on your birthday Pam
July 21st, 2011 at 12:51 am
The thing I like most about art journaling is that everyone has their own style and there is no right or wrong way to do it. Thanks for the giveaway.

Your new DVD looks wonderful and I would love to win one! I love art journaling because I am free to try new things without worrying about making mistakes. Thanks for the chance to win!
July 20th, 2011 at 11:25 pm
Journaling, for me, is an outlet and a way to express myself without the pressure to create a finished piece of work. I can just let it go cause no one is going to see unless I want them too.
You can contact me via my blog (just scroll ALL the way down)
http://www.karenkaydotme.blogspot.com
Thanks, Pam, and congrats on your DVD.
July 20th, 2011 at 11:19 pm
I watched a couple of your on-line videos and was so inspired that I have started art journalling – I love it. It has given me the freedom to create without pressure or expectations and enjoy the process. I would love to win your draw as I am still finding my way and trying to experiment with all kinds of techniques and mediums. Happy Birthday!
July 20th, 2011 at 11:14 pm
My favorite thing about Art Journaling is you can’t make mistakes. There are no rules. And you can make the ugliest thoughts pretty
July 20th, 2011 at 11:06 pm
Journaling is my way of creating with no self criticisms; just creating for the sake of creating.
July 20th, 2011 at 11:04 pm
Hi Pam, my daughter who is 12, and I have just completed your course on the Strathmore site, it was amazing and we just want to learn more. Your dvd would be so much fun and we will definetely be inspired by it. My email address is august2362@hotmail.com. Would love to win.

July 20th, 2011 at 10:47 pm
I am continually blown away by your generosity. Thank you for sharing your art, and ideas with the rest of us!
July 20th, 2011 at 10:47 pm
i love being able to escape from pain and stress by going up to my “art womb” to work in my journals ; journaling really helps to put my mind in a peaceful zone–I WANT TO WIN !!! enjoying your book…
July 20th, 2011 at 10:39 pm
I always complain to my husband that when he practices music, all the notes just drift away – unlike art, when I practice painting, I have a pile of rather bad paintings! Art journaling allows me to practice using all different products and mediums with satisfying results. No editor, just process and surprises. Best wishes!
July 20th, 2011 at 10:32 pm
I love journaling because it helps me to express how I feel! Thanks for sharing your DVDs!
July 20th, 2011 at 10:28 pm
trying out new techniques, tests, experiments and notes to go with them. I also like using scraps from other projects (paper towels used to clean up paints) in new ways. I just gotta get to the journalling part now that I have a bunch of backgrounds done…. still new at this.
July 20th, 2011 at 10:23 pm
I enjoy your work. I like that I can flip thru a magazine and recognize that it is yours. I would like to learn more about your techniques.
July 20th, 2011 at 10:18 pm
I love art journaling because there is never really a mistake. Just continue with another layer. Your snippet looks super. I love your laid back manner. Thanks for this new DVD. Virginia
July 20th, 2011 at 10:16 pm
I have journalled in a linear way since I was 12. It’s always been about the words for me. Visual journalling has opened up an entire new vista within myself. There are still words . . . I can’t give them up entirely, but it has given me a new vocubulary. Still growing and growing . . . .
July 20th, 2011 at 10:12 pm
Art journaling becomes a history of what i’m thinking about and the style of artwork i an into at the time.
July 20th, 2011 at 10:09 pm
Yay, Pam! Great giveaway, I’d love to win!
July 20th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
I love art journaling because I am free to try new things, make mistakes, and express myself freely. It’s a place to unload and revive and recharge.
July 20th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
Pam, Love, love, love your tutorials and techniques. I am fairly new at journal making and appreciate the chance to win. I purchased your book and took your Strathmore Journal workshop; I find it exciting to start with a blank canvas and before you know it you have a masterpiece; things just fall into place.
July 20th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
What a great preview of your DVD – congratulations!
I love art journalling because it opened my eyes to how I can incorporate so many of the bits and pieces from my life into my art.
Your book, Art at the Speed of Life is one of my most used creative resources. Thanks for never failing to inspire.
July 20th, 2011 at 9:56 pm
My favorite thing about art journaling is the relaxed and happy feeling I get when I am deep into creating a page. Definately a feel good activity for me!
Thanks for the chance to win your new DVD. It looks great!
July 20th, 2011 at 9:48 pm
I hope I win ! This looks like a great package.
July 20th, 2011 at 9:46 pm
This is so exciting, Pam! Your DVD sounds wonderful. I love your journaling style. Art journaling is so interesting to me. It reaches us on multiple levels, both in our minds and hearts. To see an art journal is to really see the person making it.
July 20th, 2011 at 9:41 pm
i love to art journal because it gives me the freedom to experiment!
July 20th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Happy Birthday Pam,
I have been exploring mixed media over the past couple of years. I recently bought your book and am eager to begin. Art journalling is new for me but ooooh…. the possibilities. You have inspired me to challenge myself and create.
July 20th, 2011 at 9:24 pm
I love your style in everything you do!!!
July 20th, 2011 at 9:18 pm

… Im new to Art Journaling but loved the demo Dvd …learnt so much just in those short few minutes!… Random Generator Pick me pick me …lol…x
July 20th, 2011 at 9:15 pm
I work in my Art Journal every morning. Often times before coffee, Fresh out of bed and in pjs. I find my time in my art journal both meditative and transitional. Sometimes my dreams come out, sometimes surprises come out. I never know what is going to happen. It is an intuitive process. It is a meditative process. It is that quiet time I spend before I brave the day, it prepares me for what is ahead and I feel complete when I have spent time there.
July 20th, 2011 at 9:11 pm
Being an English major and a writer, it took me a while to figure out art journaling, but I think that I am getting the hang of it. It is about all those pictures in your head – ones that you might develop further, ones you just want to remember and ones that you have only a glimpse of. It is looking with an artist’s eye at the world around you and making a record, a personal record of what speaks to you. Thanks for helping me to get where I am.
July 20th, 2011 at 9:08 pm
I love to try out so many ideas and techniques in my art journals! No grades, no critiques, just fun!
July 20th, 2011 at 8:52 pm
I love art journaling because it is my very own art therapy. And it is so rewarding on so many levels
July 20th, 2011 at 8:46 pm
Hi Pam,

Pam, I’d love to have your new DVD and fill some plain white journal pages with colors and designs! Thanks for the giveaway! Linda Harbin, MidwestieLady on Etsy
July 20th, 2011 at 8:40 pm
I love the ability to get things out in pictures that I sometimes don’t have words for – I’m a therapist and like to share art journaling as a tool with my clients! I’ve had a lot of success with people being able to express themselves! Thanks for the giveaway!
July 20th, 2011 at 8:40 pm
I love that feeling of accomplishment – when I have brought forth a page that never existed before. It’s like nothing else on this planet! Thanks for the chance to win one of your DVD’s!!!
July 20th, 2011 at 8:30 pm
Love, love, love your style and have used it to improve my portraits! Thanks so much for all your info!
July 20th, 2011 at 8:15 pm
I love collage and cutting out letters to make art with my art Journaling, sharing on my blog and with family and friends , trying new color palettes and techniques, and the satisfaction of either finishing or not finishing what I started!
July 20th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
I love that you can take it with you anywhere and that it’s just for you and not all about making stuff to sell for the most part. My birthday is July 29th so cool…Happy Birthday fellow Leo {hugs} Roberta

Art journaling is a new way of whimsy for me. There’s no right or wrong. I can be sporadic and do whatever I feel like at the moment, not what I want to look good tomorrow or go with another project. Just here and now.
July 20th, 2011 at 7:34 pm
It is a great way to play as well as release the days stress!
July 20th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
Journaling allows me to do art every day even if I only have five minutes to spare. It’s like a breath of fresh air.
July 20th, 2011 at 7:08 pm
Great way to express yourself without censure.
July 20th, 2011 at 7:00 pm
I would love to be the winner…You are my inspiration! I want to be able to journal without all the restrictions I put on myself!
July 20th, 2011 at 6:56 pm
oh brilliant would love to win this Pam love your work thanks heaps
July 20th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Art journaling lets you express yourself any way you like. And because it’s your art journal, you don’t have to show anyone. You can if you want to but don’t have to. It’s the most fun you can have with a piece of paper!
July 20th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
I love art journaling because there’s no wrong way to do it and lots of lovely ways to play. I still write way too much though! Thanks for having a giveaway. Are these available now?
July 20th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
Would love get your new DVD. I am sure it is terrific! All the best, Pam!
July 20th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
I love art journaling because it’s just for myself, and I feel like a kid again playing with colors and textures. It also gives life to my written comment no matter how boring. Your demos are exactly what I look for in instruction! Thank-you.
July 20th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
oops…here’s my email… xxxvhxxx@yahoo.com
July 20th, 2011 at 6:30 pm
i would love to have one! i don’t have a working art journal, i just draw pretty faces. i am in awe of your techniques and style. seeing your artwork inspires me to give it a try…having your dvd would give me that extra push because it will be easy to refer to it. thanks for the giveaway! you are the best
July 20th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Hello Pam! You have been my inspiration for art journaling and I don’t even remember now how I first found you! I have taken two courses from you already and I love your techniques and styles. For me, art journaling is a way to inspire more of my life into three dimensional living rather than living in my head most of the time. When I am creating an art journaling page, it is so much more expressive than if I were to write my thoughts and feelings and sentiments. I feel it is a testament to my life and how I live ‘outloud’ and creatively. My life is changing in amazing ways since I’ve welcomed the notion of art journaling! Thank you! Ellen (UK)
July 20th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
I like that it’s a chance to try new things without caring if other people will see it. I can be me, raw, try stuff, fail. It’s all OK.
Thanks for the chance to win!
July 20th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
Art journaling gives me the opportunity to express myself and be creative even when life takes a wrong turn.
July 20th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
It looks to be a fun workshop. Great giveaway. Thanks. I really enjoyed your segment on the Strathmore series!
July 20th, 2011 at 6:18 pm
What do I love about art journaling? What’s not to love? lol! Collage, mixed media, paint, stamps, writing…and the chance to play! It combines a lot of forms of self-expression.
Would love to win the DVD. Thanks for the chance. Cartermaryd@hotmail.com
July 20th, 2011 at 6:17 pm
Wowie I would love to win this! As a single mother by choice – adopting two beautiful daughters from China – life is challenging and often friends and family don’t seem to understand how much being sole provider and sole caregiver as well as educator since we homeschool can engulf one life, leaving little left over for anyone else. Art journaling is a way to express the emotions of a sometimes lonely and difficult road as well as the joys of finding fulfillment as a mother – art as therapy! janschop @ aol.com
July 20th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Fantastic! I’ve been wanting to do art journaling for a long time now, but needed a starter push when staring at that blank white page. To me, it would seem to free the soul in a much more personal way.
July 20th, 2011 at 6:14 pm
oooooo…i have been waiting for this one! I love that art journaling is something “i” do…my kids and hubby have their hobbies and things they do and art journaling is helping me find who i am and what my thing is!
July 20th, 2011 at 6:11 pm
I like art journaling because it is a safe place to try out things and a place that I can always keep track of how far I’ve come in my art!
July 20th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
Hi Pam, Happy Birthday for the 27th… and how exciting to read of a giveaway of your work today!! What I love about art journaling is the creativity, and the inner peace that happens – my mind is quiet, I don’t worry, and time seems to expand. I start with a blank page and then I delight in the results that arise from seemingly random collages.
July 20th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
What i like that i have feared is actually starting the lettering and then the final touches that really give that page punch. Thanks Pam!
July 20th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Wonderful giveaway! Congrats on the dvd release, I know it will be great. I love art journalling because it gives me a place to play, experiment, and learn.
July 20th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Art journaling frees my soul
July 20th, 2011 at 5:57 pm
Wow! This has been such a fantastic year for you Pam!! Congrats!
July 20th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
To be totally honest, I have never tried art journaling before, but I would love to eventually try it. I have seen others work, and I enjoy what I see. I love any kind of art that is different.

Art Journaling engages the right brain, and it opens a complementary portal into different perspectives or interpretations of experiences or opinions. I would love to win your DVD……

Art Journaling provides the freedom of expressing myself without being judged my others.
July 20th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
Art journaling allowed me to combine my love for words and images to share a story. Pam, I have your book Art at the Speed of Life and would love to add your dvd to my collection.
July 20th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
Art Journaling provides the freedom of expressing myself in a format that I cannot be judged by others.
July 20th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
I love art journaling because you can write what you have to get out and then cover up as much or little as you want.
July 20th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
I’ve made greeting cards to give away for years and had nothing to show for it. I love art journaling now so that I can keep this artwork and enjoy it forever as well as experiment and play. So fun! Thanks for your wonderful journaling ideas!
July 20th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
Just beginning to get into art journaling….think it will be great fun and a good way to build my own creativity. I want to use it to tie together all of the things I love. And i think it would be a wonderful thing to do to give to friends to show them some of what they mean to me.
July 20th, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Congrats on this Pam. The preview looks great. For me art journaling is the one place that I can express myself in both words and images and therefore bring together both sides of my creative process.
July 20th, 2011 at 5:20 pm
I love that there are no rules! And I love learning different techniques, it is really helping me to find my own style!
July 20th, 2011 at 5:16 pm
Oh, the possibilities. Just to be able to learn something from you… Pam, would enlighten my day! You are one top notch artist. I have really enjoyed watching you grow thru the years. I have my fingers, my toes and my eyes crossed…I know I can, I know I can, Win, Win, Win!!!!!!
July 20th, 2011 at 5:13 pm
I love art journaling because it allows me to pair writing and art — my 2 favorite creative things to do! Thank you for your generous giveaway offer of your DVD. I hope that Random Number Generator is kind to me because I love your style and would love to own it! Should I win please contact me at bkisrael@gmail.com.
July 20th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
I can’t wait to watch your video. I love how art journaling helps me cope with strong feelings with my job and process feelings that I know are there but can’t identify.
July 20th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
The preview looks terrific. Congratulations!
July 20th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
What a great give away Pam. I love to art journal because it gives me a chance to experiment and not worry about the final outcome. It does not matter if the page is finished or remains a work in progress. And probably most importantly it is a record for myself and my family in the future.
Thanks again Pam for the give away and for your fabulous creations and teaching.
July 20th, 2011 at 5:07 pm
Well, for me art journaling is pure joy of free expressing feelings…I love colors, papers, colage…art supplies and art workshops, all that fit in my art journal
Pam, you are so talented and successful artist – congratulations for new DVD
July 20th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
Congratulations Pam on the release of your DVD! I love your color combinations and your loose freestyle!
This DVD would be a great addition to my library!
So random generator pick my #! ;~)
July 20th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Hi Pam,
It is because of you that I began to use an art journal. It has taken practice to do it frequently and “say” whatever I am feeling in it.
I love looking back on what I’ve written and drawn.
Thanks for a chance to have you (via the DVD) here with me
Happy Birthday to you!
Ethel
July 20th, 2011 at 4:56 pm

Mine came in the mail today also, so guess what I’ve been doing this afternoon! I absolutely LOVE the DVD. Lots of new creative techniques and supplies to try. Sharon Pendergraft
July 20th, 2011 at 4:49 pm
Congrats to you! Would love to be in your drawing. The best part about journaling is that it enables me to express myself in ways I haven’t been able to do on a canvas. Much more spontaneous, less rigid, easier to take more risks and experiment!!
July 20th, 2011 at 4:49 pm
How wonderful of you to give your fans a gift on YOUR birthday!
Art journaling, to me, is a way to express myself without feeling I need to have a “correct composition” or conform to any art ‘rules’. I have an art degree that sometimes gets in the way of freeing myself to just have fun, if you know what I mean. LOL! I am in the process of going through your book “Art at the Speed of Life” & your dvd would be a wonderful addition. Thank you so much for this chance & have an amazing birthday!
July 20th, 2011 at 4:48 pm
Pam, Congratulations on your DVD. I can’t wait to see it. Thanks for the give away.
July 20th, 2011 at 4:47 pm
I like the process of creating the page and playing with colors. I like the next day when you see the last day page from a new perspective.
July 20th, 2011 at 4:46 pm
Art Journaling is something I have to do as often as I can. It lets me be creative, try out new techniques and by journaling I can leash my inner soul! Added bonus it helps me with stress relief…..
July 20th, 2011 at 4:45 pm
I love everything about it…the process, the color, the writing..the book.
July 20th, 2011 at 4:40 pm
What I love about art journaling is that it combines 2 facets of my heart-art and words. So I feel that I am getting my feelings down on the paper in those two different ways and I feel it more intensely captures my heart. It just feels truer somehow.
Also it feels more like play than canvases or other surfaces, so there is less pressure and it is just pure delight!
Our anniversary is July 26, and Aurélien’s immigration interview here in Paris is July 27, so I guess I’m just feeling like it’s serendipity!!! Happy Birthday Pam!

Hi Pam, I’d love to own a copy!!
What I like about art journaling: quite simply, I enjoy looking at YOUR work (in all it’s forms) it’s very inspiring!
July 20th, 2011 at 4:27 pm
Because I have permission to be..my true self in my truest form.
July 20th, 2011 at 4:26 pm
So many things I love about art journaling, the colors the randomness of words, collage and stamps. I like not having to write anything profound and yet often times I do. I love having many pages filled with my thoughts and dreams and experiences. Oh, and I love how I surprise myself with my ability to create lovely imagery. thanks for this opportunity to play.

I love art journaling because it is about experimenting … no pressure to “perform” or “produce” … so it becomes a haven for new ideas, new materials, old ideas revisited in new ways and a place to create just for yourself where it is okay to “fail” while learning if something works for you or not.
July 20th, 2011 at 4:22 pm

July 20th, 2011 at 4:13 pm
Oh pick me! Pick me! What is NOT to like/love about art journaling? you can create beautiful works to show someone (well YOU can… lol) or something ugly to match your mood. Write it out or draw it out or paint it out. Whatever it takes. It keeps me sane!
July 20th, 2011 at 4:13 pm
I’ve done art journaling in my daybook everything journal and would like to now separate my art out from that one and start a journal specifically for art… art journaling is freeing in that it can be as private or public as I want, stifling that inner critic of mine.
July 20th, 2011 at 4:12 pm
First of all this book Rocks!!! Going to give it to my best friend for her birthday in Aug.
Art journaling helps me access and realize things about myself I never would have discovered. I learn how little I truly know myself and how much I let myself get distracted by such unimportant things and so easily. It’s like I’m afraid to know too much about me.
Art journaling is a gentle safe place to unfold myself.
Happy Birthday!!!

Hi Pam
I love the way an art journal can focus floating idea and practical application – not really having to worry about perfection at all.
Each layer of meaning and exploration can reveal a new and exciting visual picture, without really knowing how it will end.
And it is fun!!
Thanks Pam

Journaling has helped me discover who I am. I have learned so much about myself, who I am NOT, and who I might like to become. While I work in my journal even if art or writing I am growing. I am new to the journal world as of 4 months! I love it. Congrats on a great DVD.
July 20th, 2011 at 4:11 pm
what I love about art journaling? that does not have any rules, not any steps that you should follow, so it gives you the chance to just relax and enjoy the moment and as Karen just said, the freedom that gives you, to use any media, any paper, any thing you have near you..I’m new to journaling art, I found it just months ago when I arrived to the US and I don’t know how I could had live before without it, now I just can’t stop myself from doing it, and all of this thanks to all the inspiring people like you, that share with us your beatiful style and art. Thanks!
July 20th, 2011 at 4:10 pm
Journalling gives me an outlet. It spurs me on to use my creativity whenever needed, and use everyday stuff. I love looking at your videos for new inspiration.
July 20th, 2011 at 4:09 pm
I think that the thing I love most about art journaling is that I get to take an imaginary trip. I can go to a place as beautiful and loving as I can imagine, someplace fun and adventurous, or someplace scary. No matter what it is I am thinking about, I have a way to put it out there and not have to spread it around to all of the people I care about.
I love your art, and I would love to see your tips and tricks to communicate what is inside to the page.
July 20th, 2011 at 4:09 pm
I would love, love, love to win this – thanks for your inspiration Pam!
July 20th, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Your dvd looks beautiful! Thank you so much for the chance to win a copy!! I love art journaling because I feel free to create just for myself. I don’t have to worry about what anyone will think and I can put all of myself in my pages. I also love experimenting and using new products or products in different ways. Everything about art journaling is wonderful and freeing!!
July 20th, 2011 at 4:07 pm
What I totally like is that there are no mistakes. Whatever does not work can be covered up and be a new possibility. It is very soothing to art journal, I have only done it for a couple of months, but it has become a daily thing to do. Loving it all the way! It brings back my inner child that had been smothered by abusive grown ups, now I am coming back to life again!
July 20th, 2011 at 4:07 pm
I love that on word days, I can write my thoughts, and on have-no-words days, I can visually express my thoughts.
July 20th, 2011 at 4:04 pm
