Monday Musings: Ephemera Your Heart Out!

I have been enjoying immensely the time I spend working on my art journal. Some days I am more inspired than others but all in all, it is nice to be able to work on something that brings a smile to one's face at the end of the day. Since I've been working on this journal I've tried to incorporate different types of ephemera into it including by making my own out of paper scraps. Thus came into being the following "paisley-esque" forms I made for using in my journal:

These are the paislies I worked on....
Also, just writing out words for use in scrap-booking or journaling can be helpful. You can write them however you choose, on any paper you want, etc. Here are some of my scraps of white paper and what I did with them:
More paisley and some words to live by...
There are a million possibilities but those are just a few of the things you can do to create ephemera. I collect everything that seems to be re-usable and give it new life! Here is how I used these different forms of ephemera I created.
I used the words in this art journal entry...
and this....
In this case I drew some hearts on remaining white paper bits
also a flower and a couple of words...
and lastly...
Too much fun really!
All it takes is a little time and creativity! I can't wait to create some more!

Cheers!
