Default Art Journals

I think I'm ready to take the plunge and start an Art Journal - I love stamping and scrapbooking, but feel I need something more than what I'm doing. I want to get out of the rut and comfort zone and really create something just for me. I took a local class and was about as lost as lost could get so I'm wondering where do you start? Are there any great beginner links/blogs, etc. for the newbie? Maybe somebody has put together a list of products that are great to start with or has some help with what journal to buy. Really - any direction would be great!

My favorite is iHanna. Why I recommend her beside she is overly talented but her blog is one of the best journaling resources on the net. She has tutorials, supply lists, long links of other art journalers & books. Here's the link: iHanna's Blog | iHanna's musings about creativity, projects and inspiration in everyday life,.

From iHanna's blog you can get to Daisy Yellow's blog. Daisy Yellow has great ideas for making art every day. Not sure if this is what you are interested in, but both blogs are terrific.

Here's a fun site. She offers journal prompts and a lot of basic information in an easy style.

Your welcome. I am going to give a better link to Hannah's blog. When I posted the above link her blog server had some problems. It takes ages to load for some reason. Here's a quicker link: iHanna’s Blog | iHanna's Blog

If you want to share your art journal pages here, we have a special section in the gallery for them . Anything but a card~ Books, albums and journals~ Art Journal pages
I love seeing them any time they come through the approval queue while I'm on duty. I could never create something like that, but I've seen some pretty amazing stuff.
