Art Journal Your Holidays

$34

with TammyJo Girard

Calendar Next available session starts Nov 5, 2025 at 6 pm, runs for 3 weeks

Join us for a festive and inspiring journey into the world of art journaling! Learn how to create a personalized holiday art journal that captures your memories, reflections, and seasonal inspirations. This is a perfect opportunity to slow down during the busy season and reconnect with your creative side in a fun, supportive environment.

 

Required Supplies:

Blank Journal or Sketchbook– Recommended size: 5”x7” to 8”x10”. Mixed media or watercolor paper is ideal to handle paint and layering.

Adhesives– Matte gel medium (for collage and layering)– Washi tape (to create clean page borders)

Scissors

Writing & Mark-Making Tools– Pencil and kneaded eraser– Favorite writing pen (for journaling or outlining)– White gel pen– Paint pens in black, white, gold, silver, or any colors you like (Posca pens are my favorite but any brand will do)

Paint & Brushes–Watercolor set (I like the MeiLiang sets available on Amazon, we’ll learn how to mix colors, so small sets are wonderful! )– Paint palette for mixing paint (a coated paper plate will do)

- Brushes including a Size 6 round and a small detail brush as well as any other favorites you may have.

Collage Materials– Old magazines, holiday cards, wrapping paper, scrapbook paper– Tissue paper, book pages, junk mail, or other paper ephemera– Small keepsakes or paper bits with seasonal or personal meaning
