to take a piece of paper (mine is a simple piece of sketching paper), a water proof pen (mine was a simple sharpie), and write down what comes to your mind. don't over think it. it could be about your needs at the moment. your mood for the day. a random thought. make one word stand out. here's a crazy idea, make it the word that stands out in your mind. write it in all caps, maybe block letters, or maybe it's framed. did you do it?
ok now splash some color on there. don't over think it. crayons, markers, watercolors, spray inks, paints. whatever is close by you. you could match the mood, make it monochromatic, very colorful, or just pick two colors and go with it. did you do it?
Now make your word stand out a wee bit more. don't over think it. Add a brighter color, outline it with white, draw a big black frame around it, or doodle around it. did you do it?
Guess what? You just made an art journal page.
