“This is the how-to a scaredy-cat like me needs! I’ve been wanting to try art journaling for a while but felt constrained by my lack of art skills. Corey Marie’s engaging instructions and encouragement have assured me that I can do this!”

“Hand-written and illustrated – homey and gives reader “permission” that anything & everything is fair game. Clear and concise info that describes what an art journal is and isn’t. Many beginner “how to” tips with pictures on every page. Great lists of things like journaling tips, types of journals, materials suggested. I intend to print this download & carry it with my journal & stuff everywhere as my “Journaling Bible”.”
