I have never considered myself an artist. In fact I have always considered myself to be really really dreadful at art! Someone who can't draw, can't paint, can't create.
But then I thought to myself, but what about Scrapbooking?! You are good at that, and its arty! Its VERY creative! And... you are good at it!
Suddenly all these self-created walls in my little brain fell down and I had a bit of an arty epiphany! (All this happened at about 1am this morning!! Today I am enlightened, if a little sleepy!!!
I came across this inspiring blog. I had a good look and discovered the amazing world of the art journal.
'I couldn't do one of those' I thought to myself. 'I have no idea how to paint'.
Well, I had no idea how to scrapbook when I made my first layout but I still enjoyed making it and the page itself was absolutely fine!!
So this afternoon, I made my first page in my art journal {squeak} I was going for a grungey look and I think I achieved it. I think.

Yeah, sure you can't "do art"! If that isn't art, then I'm a banana!!
It is lovely - really and truly! You are so clever and very artistic. And I also enjoy your scrapbook pages - they are definitely Art!
Well done you, for having a go at something, even if you were unsure about it. Having a go is more than half the battle.
Keep up the good work! I would like to see your second Art Journal page (and maybe the third too?).
Oh, I also have those middle-of-the-night epiphanies. Usually 4am for me!
Good for you for giving it a go - look what you created! Looks great!
