Being a newbie to art journaling, I devoured this book from cover to cover. The ideas, tips and prompts included have helped me to find my own style and to enjoy visual journaling so much more than I ever would have without it. The sisters/authors are funny, knowledgeable and present the art form in an entertaining and informative way that would be great for the novice as well as the seasoned art journaler.
I want to love this book...I truly do...but I don't.
I don't know if it's just not my style, or if there's something about the authors that rubs me wrong; however, this style is VERY popular, and the book is loaded with tips and techniques for scrapbooking and/or journaling.

This book has a lot of really great inspiration for making your journals/scrapbooks really come alive. The authors are witty and encourage readers to not feel constrained by scrapbooking "rules."
I loved a few of the ideas in this book, but for the most part they were things I had seen before. What I really enjoyed was the manner in which the book was written-with enthusiasm.
I love this book- a feast for the eyes and ideas for the soul. Another great conversation book among creative friends.
Cool book. Some good ideas, unfortunately I have read others that may have done it better. If I had read this book before the others, I may have marked it higher.
Even if you never make an art journal, it is fun to read this book. The authors have a quirky sense of humor.
this book is THE book that started my journey into owning my art. thank you, Linda and Karen.
This book was inspiring ... I have it within reach in my art room and I DO reach for it!
Inspired me to work on my picture journals again....
Just picked this up today, the authors are good friends and super talented gals.They inject so much of their crazy funny personality into their writing. They are sisters, and their goal is get everyone to art journal because in their opinion if you have a glue stick , tape a pen and paper you are probably good to get started. Their projects get more artful than that but they don't want anyone to be intimidated by the process, Thier last book VIsual Chronicals was great, they make you laugh, ...more

I can only wish I could create journal entries and "post-secret"-type personal epiphanies like the ones featured in this book. It's pretty inspiring just to flip through and has lots of good ideas on how to take a look at your life and figure out, for example, what the objects you are bidding on Ebay can tell you about your life at this moment... Good ideas, good pictures, all in all a great book to get your creative journaling juices flowin'.
RISE UP AND CREATE!! Join the ART ARMY http://visualchronicles.typepad.com/ - you will love these ladies - their wit is refreshing and every page of this book is a feast for the eyes - inspiration will overtake you and before you know it you will be grabbing whatever implements are handy to get your words and creations on paper. Or whatever surface is handy.

10/4/08: To say this is a craft book, doesn't give a good feel for what it's like but if you enjoy keeping a journal and like to be creative, you MUST take a look at this book, that's all I can say for now.
10/13/08: In a way I've been doing a lot of this type of journaling for years just in different formats and I plan to do more in the future.

Sorry--I guess I had in my mind something different. I think the ideas are awesome but just not me. Maybe that's the point--about branching out. Neat ideas-- I hope to pick it up again in a couple months to see if I get re-inspired.
This book had a lot of good tips for different effects in what is really scrapbooking. Though it seems to me the creators have a lot of angst and depression to work through still, it wasn't really an upbeat "journaling" experience.

As far as idea books go, it was just OK - though I'm admittedly not a really big fan of idea books in the first place. There just wasn't anything NEW in the book, I felt...been there, done that.

picked up this little goodie on my most recent trip. Just looks right up my alley, I'm looking forward to a new art book to poke through while I wait in the van for the girls.
The book was interesting enough, but I just expected more prompts for art journaling on a more intimate level. Not just the simple, skimmig the surface kind of stuff.
Please please please do something nice for yourself and grab a copy of this book! So fun... tons of eye candy, ideas, and inspiration.
This is one of those books I would never part with! Such great artistic inspiration, tons of doable ideas.
