Getting ready (new art journals)

December 20, 2017 By Marit Leave a Comment

Hi hi lovely ones. Are you getting ready for the Holidays yet? Are you all ‘set to go’? I AM! Now, you may think I’m talking about grocery shopping, looking for food recipes and preparing for Christmas diner… hell no! I’m talking about the start of the annual Top 2000 blogparty!

The Top 2000 list was announced online yesterday so I can now start creating to the songs (and YOU CAN TOO if you wanna join… read this page for all the info about this FREE online party!) I started with creating and binding a small journal (11 x 17 cm – 4.3 x 6.7 inch) that I will use for my Top 2000 art. Doesn’t it look cute?

I also needed a new Chronicles journal for 2018… I had a hard time deciding on the format and size that I want my new ‘year-journal’ to be but eventually I chose it to be square. I never had square ‘Chronicles’ journal before and I hope this shape will grow on me.. the shape of the spreads will of course be rectangle. I kinda like how it looks.

The new journal is waiting for the New Year to start but still, the old one isn’t full yet… there’s three more weekly spreads to make. I hope I will find time for that when in the middle of the Top 2000 creating-hurricane… anyway, here’s the latest spread I made.

And this was the last ‘normal’ blogpost for this year… next week, this blog will overflow with music and beautiful art made by participants inspired by the songs. I printed the Top 2000 list myself this morning and I will now curl on the couch with a cup of tea to look through the list of songs and select the ones that I will use as inspiration for my Top 2000 art journal pages.

The blogparty starts on December 25, at 9 am CET (Central European Time)
See you then!
