My first Art journal entry!

Very happy with the final results of my first entry into my art journal. So happy i finally got it started! I have owned it for a few months now but was intimidated by it for some reason because i wanted it "just right". I finally realized there is never going to be a perfect time i am the person i am right now and that needs to be embraced/
The "artist" letters are none other than my guy Tim Holtz grunge board letters painted scruffed up and then a little pink copic marker to give them more texture and color.
The "within" was done with polymer clay and embossing letters and then i baked it for about 20 minutes and glazed it. Fun to finally use that had it forever!!
Must i really make this much mess when i work..no wonder my space never stays clean! When i finish at 12:30 am i am too tired to clean.
