I was intimidated by the amazing art journalers out there who had elaborate, mixed media spreads in their journals. 

When I came back to journaling after such a long break, I decided that I was going to really push myself to learn all the techniques that I had been too afraid to try. 

Painting and drawing have really allowed me to find so much joy in my creative process, and I now almost exclusively create mixed media art and junk journal pages every day.
