What do you do with your Art Journal LOs?

[tropt]

I'm just beginning to dabble in art journaling (kind of like a kid running to the waves, sticking one toe in and then rushing back to the "safety" of shore - lol!). Part of my hesitation is what to do with a AJ LO when it's completed (for me, the expressive part is why I'd do it, not really for a completed LO)?

Some AJ LOs I could easily see me printing for wall art or perhaps giving as a gift but others, I might not want anyone to ever see.

So, I'm open to advice, tips and any ideas. For those of you who are already into it, what do you do?

I print them and put them in an album just like my other layouts. I also print some for wall art. I've actually used some of them (from my first art journaling class) as covers for notebooks at Shutterfly and other printers.

I haven't done anything with mine, I guess a lot of times is more about "process not product." Although I did a Lyme Disease page last summer that I have as my wallpaper on my phone.

Like Patsy, I print mine along with other layouts, and put them in my binder in an art journaling section,

Maya and I combine our pages and have little albums printed every now and then.

Oooh, such great ideas, ladies! Thanks for sharing.

Patsy & Chris - I really like the wall art and cell wallpaper.

Patsy - I also love the idea of using them for cover art. Hadn't thought of that.

Diane (dwsewbiz) - Oh, I hadn't thought of an art journal section but that is a good idea.

Diane (Madi) - Little albums sound great! That way they could be in one place but private if necessary.

Feel free to keep sharing. Love learning from all you AJ pros!

I've deliberately sized mine at a size I like that Blurb prints at, 6"x9", and I plan on having them printed every now that then. But I know have 2.5 yrs worth which I haven't done anything with yet - must get onto that!

Oh, that is a good idea, Selena (something not too small but not too big either). Hope Blurb has a sale soon for you!
