of my ART JOURNAL page using our new I AM stamp.. I JUST LOVE IT. (now DON’T make fun of my page). And I can’t even believe I am EXPOSING myself in this way…LOL but who cares.. you will all be doing this with me soon.. even if you say you aren’t. I watercoloured the page first.. then I used VERSAMARK for the I AM stamp and WHITE UTEE to emboss it… I JUST LOVE how crisply ( or should it be “crisp”..hmmm) it came out. YUM! I also used my ABSOLUTELY most FAVORITE white pen EVAH. The WHITE UNIBALL SIGNO pen.. OMG… I think it is the best white pen out there! Now I believe if I showed this page to people, they may have other “choice” descriptions for me.. LOL. I probably have not covered it all. I can tell you that I will be using the stamp. A LOT. Wait til you see what Dena came up with this stamp in a LAYOUT. OMG.
Ok don’t lauggghhh
and now just to show you a side view of how CRUNCHY my journal is. Nothing like a CRUNNNNCHY journal!

Lovely! I like crunchy journals! So creative! MWAH!

Hi Em. Not only can you see your journal, you can also hear it – LOL. Crunchy is ok, but if it starts talking, RUN FAST!!! I have 3 white pens & none of them work so I would like to check this Uniball Signo out. Have a great weekend.

love the page….you are so much more than all that.
Everyday is a new creative journey with you.
Well, you are talented, and you know it I know you do. The page is beautiful! Just like you! and that’s no bull#@XX. I’ve seen some of the pages of your journal, and I love them. I will be looking for the ART Journaling class coming up…I’m excited. The white uniball pen is wonderful, I love it, and your turned me on to it. Thank you!
I love your journal, especially its crunchiness!!
Very cute!! Thanks for the chance.
Oh I’d love to make a “crunchy” journal. Actually I have several… they are called scrapbooks… I am soooo not a slap and scrap scrapper!
Great journal. I have one too but haven’t been using it lately. Thanks for the reminder.
Love the journal!! And the stamp release is awesome!! 🙂
…crunchy is my favorite SOUND. {think Taco BELL!} I gotta get my journal tomorrow and pack and gather all my goodies that I think I need, that you don’t have…I guess that just means a sewing machine? LOL I love THIS!!!
That’s a perfect journal Emily and I LOVE all the words you wrote on it! Laughed at your “crunchy” comment 🙂
belated Happy Birthday! I want to do my own book of CRunChy pages too. Sometimes card making can be too structured an activity. With collage-ing, anything goes.
Emily, your journal looks fantastic! Who would possibly make fun of that?
As a distressing junkie, I love the look of watercoloured effects. They’re versatile and fun.
I love the journal cover it is beautiful and an awesome idea! Looks amazing 🙂
I love the crunchy journal. Never made one but now I’m inspired!
Have fun with the girls!
Pam
That is uber cool!!! Love the stamp, and you are right about that white pen! It IS the best!!!
Have a wonderful weekend with your sistahs! How fun is that??!! Thanks for the chance at blog candy, too! 😀
I like your “I am” page. I often think about how “I am” many things that most people never think of. This is a great idea!
i would love to make a crunchy journal!!
Lovely lovely journal. I’d like to see the inside pages, if they’re decorated.
Thank you for a chance to win.
Hi Em,
That is a beautiful journal page, and a great stamp! Thanks for sharing!
My favorite white pen ever is the Uniball. Love the journal and the stamps!!
I LOVE it, Em! 🙂 And that stamp is definitely on my wishlist. I’ve got a blank journal here waiting for me to take some creative “me” time. 🙂
Hi Emma, why would anyone make fun of your fantastic “crunchy” journal? It’s amazing. Love the colour scheme for the background and the new I AM stamps are brilliant. Thanks for the chance to win. Hugs, Denise x
I love that stamp it’s great! super cute journal thanks for sharing!
I love the uniball gel pens for everything from cardmaking to sewing. I use gel pens to make fitting notes on patterns. They show up better on pattern tissue than anything I’ve ever used. I also love using white or pale yellow on dark cardstock for cardmaking. People who don’t know about them think you’ve managed some sort of magic!
Great candy…I love my Signo too. And your journal is Fabulous! I only have a few pages in my Book of Me scrapbook, but I think this set would work perfect for a page! So important to leave a little of ourselves for our kids.
I love your journal, the new stamp makes it very unique! Thanks for sharing
Crunchy journals…..you may have just started a trend! LOL
Crunchy it is and should be!! fun, fun, fun!!
LOVE that white pen (hate the one I have).
I’ll have to pick one up tomorrow!! (must remember, must remember, must remember LOL)
à demain

Oh YAY!!! I’ve desperately been looking for a great white pen…Please pick me!! I love the watercolour effect…the stamp stands out so well! Great Job!
What a great giveaway! I love the signo pen too and your “I am” stamp is adorable!
I love your journal page!! I have often thought of doing something similar on a scrapbook page but never do!! If I win the stamp I will definitely have to do that!! Remember…..crunchy is just another texture to us!! TFS!
I love crunchy things!!! Love the descriptors too! Thanks for the chance to win the awesome blog candy!
I have been using the uniball pen for a couple years now and love it. I love your crunchy album. Happy Birthday also!!

Your I AM cover looks great Em. I hope you enjoy the “I AM” journey. The title of my cover would be “Procrastinator”. The I AM journal sounds like a wonderful reflection on life. Just wish I could get ’round to my own self discovery.
Love your art journal Em! I was cool to see it IRL. Just lovely!
Nice Journal… mine will be ‘I AM finding myself through the creative world’
LOL
