Mini Binder Art Journal Update

I'm a week in with my Mini Binder Art Journal and I have art journal pages to show you.I'm loving the freedom of this art journal and it's really inspiring my creativity.  I love that I can add in little things that just delight me like postcards or Project Life cards that I love anywhere I like.I shared my intentions and an introduction into my Mini Binder Art Journal here.Here's a video flip through of my pages so far:(if you prefer to just look at the photos of my pages, see below)

• Background is scrapbook paper
• Map paper
• Butterflies cut from scrapbook paper and fabric
• A piece of a postcard.  The previous owner of the postcard wrote, "Where they go courting."

1. Postcard with a quote written on the back.  "Look deep into nature and you'll understand everything better."  - Albert Einstein
2. The title page taken from an old (beat up) copy of The Velveteen Rabbit that I did a collage on.
3. Back page from the title page.  The illustration is from the book, but I added the colorful fabric butterflies.

(Note:  I have a few copies of The Velveteen Rabbit.  It's one of my favorite books.  I've collected them from flea markets so I can use them in my art journals.  I also have one pristine copy I don't touch.)The next page is rainbow stripes of watercolors.

1. Postcard with nature quote.  "Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.  It will never fail you."  -Frank Lloyd Wright
2. Page featuring another quote.  "The butterfly counts no months but moments, and has time enough." -Rabindranath Tagore
   1. Background is scrapbook paper
   2. I drew the flowers
