As I'm sure you have noticed I have been MIA for a few months. My focus here at Nina's Art Spot seems to have changed and I'm working on getting back to whats truly important to me. Which is helping you find your inner artist.
I have been doing a great deal of soul searching, journaling and once again into my mixed media journal with the results of all that searching. I hope to be back stronger than ever and convicted in my blog content. My goal is to be back up blogging better than ever by the first of 2018!
Until then please don't stop creating, in whatever form that takes for you and if that is what you love!
Be well,
Nina

Some of our favorite all time ink, hands down and the size is exactly what you need for your planning, creating on the go bag! Don't forget the box goes on pre-sale this Friday (Feb 17th).

New Product Highlights and a bit of a Journal Challenge
Jane Davenport's
The Butterfly Effect System
Jane's Display at the American Crafts booth
at CHA2017 in Phoenix
I chose the Mermaid Cover
The TN (Traveler's Notebook) or Butterfly Effect Book as Jane calls it, comes in four varieties: There is a blank (ready for you to design) and three Jane designed options available. They are made out of a canvas like fabric that seems higher in polyester. The book is 5" x 8 11/16" and comes with one insert that is 4" x 8" in size. So these are slightly smaller than a personal sized insert. There are two bands available in the notebook. The insert has no cover and is made out of thicker smooth cardstock. It has the weight of a mixed media paper but not the tooth. It is made out of 4 sheets so there are 8 double sided pages. The pockets are plastic and come in a set of four. The outside is a Jane design and the inside is a matching color and is transparent. Each pocket folder has a pocket on the front and a pocket on the back.
This is one of the pocket designs slid over a personal size insert so you can see the difference in size.
I had recently signed up for the Planner Squad's Journal Challenge and thought this was a great excuse to try out her new line. The first step of the challenge was to pick out what type of journal you'd be using. Whether it would be an art journal, junk journal etc. So moving forward through this challenge my plan is to share with you how I used Jane's Butterfly Effect Book to accomplish my challenge and how the different products in her line hold up to the challenge.
I created a cover for my BE (Butterfly Effect) insert using the Planner Squad Challenge image and a little personalization.
