Super simple art journal page using the paint leftover from an arting afternoon in the backyard. I really love how it turned out and it probably took 5 minutes.

Inspired by Rach0113 and the Craft Cleanse Group at artjournaling.ning - Here is a sample page from my current inventory project. It's a visual journal in bristol paper (divine to stamp on). The great outcome of such a project is discovering hidden gems in your collection and the fact that you finally know that you've used every single stamp you own at least once!
