I am excited to share another create with me session. I am planning to make these, or some version of them weekly and next week I am planning on sharing an art journaling practice with you. This week I am making some more painted papers that I plan to use in collage.
If you want to get creative but maybe you don’t know exactly what to make, painted pages can be so much fun! If you don’t like collage and think you don’t have a use for painted pages you can do the same thing in your art journal to get ride of white space and then create over top of them.
Some other uses for painted pages:
- Homemade wrapping paper: You could use a roll of kraft paper to make marks and paint splatters or even copier paper to wrap smaller presents.
- Fold them into homemade gifts bags
- Homemade gift tags
- Turn them into envelopes for happy mail
- Use sturdier paper and then bind them together to make a journal
- Cut the paper down to make homemade greeting cards or postcards.
- Use as backgrounds for photos in memory keeping
- Cut them up and use them in your planner
- Make tabs for your planner or journals
- Use in your Rainbow Glue Book
The possibilities are really endless! If you have some ideas please share in the comments-and be sure to link your blog so I can stop by and say hello!
In addition to making painted pages I am having a chat about an upcoming popcorn journal video, Bob Ross and making mud.

Wishing you a wonderful day!
Until next time…
