Hi! Today I am sharing my latest art journal layout. It is inspired by the long warm summers by the beach here in Greece.
The layout was made by using distress inks and dylusions paints. Such vibrant colors!
I really love how the watermelon the the cocktail glass turned out!
The quote was not stamped this time since I had embossed images on the background. Alphabet stickers did the trick.
You can enjoy the video below or at my YouTube channel

Have a great Sunday!
Love the kitty footage…. so cute and as always love the journal…………. Sunday morning coffee with Vicky’s Videos……….. catchy………. thank you
I looooovvvveeeee watching Vicky’s art journal creations! I saw where you said you would have a layout on Sunday morning so Saturday night before I went to bed I checked my phone to see what time it was in Greece ’cause maybe it would be up before I went to bed! 🙂 This one is beautiful as always! Thanks for sharing with us!!
Another wonderful journal page. I love your work and your creative ideas.
Your videos are a wonderful way to start my day! I’d be interested know how you travel with your art supplies…you always seem to have what you need.
FABULOUS!! So vibrant and juicy…I want to eat it! Greece is such a BEAUTIFUL country and the Summer is such a BLESS!You are so lucky!Thanks for the inspiration!I love when you create your focal point from sctatch without using a specific stamp!It’s really amazing and you give us confidence to follow our imagination!I LOVE your ART!
Gorgeous journal pages – love the summer and refreshing feel.
Very summery journal page, love the hibiscus stamp. Ginger is as cute as always, but he is a proper cat now, all grown up. I thought he would get concussion snapping his head back and forth to watch the paintbrush. Priceless.
Such a colorful, vibrant fun filled card.
oops sorry I meant journal page
Love love LOVE….as I do all of your creations, Vicky. You are so talented, and you teach in a way that is so easy to understand. I have already learned so many techniques and tips from you, and look forward to years of ‘Vicky education’! And I want your sweet kitten!
Fun and vibrant work! Very inspiring! My cat loves to help and drink my paint brush water too.
Love this Vicky! The colors, the techniques, everything! I plan on lifting this for sure! Loved y our little kitty too!
As usual I love it!! 🙂
Have a lovely time in the sun!
Thanks Vicki! I just love your videos and especially your art journals. I want to try this but ,,,,,,, lol . Ginger is too cute, if that were my cat he would be laying across my work! I had to put another chair beside mine so he’ll stay off my table but it has to be right beside me. With the cat next to me and my Golden Retriever at my feet, it makes it hard to move around! Wouldn’t change it for the world!
Such a gorgeous journal!! You are such a genius!! I just love how you come up with all these ideas for your journal and draw them out by hand, stamp on them, color them and add texture and then they look exactly like they are supposed to. I wish I could be as good as you!!
Thumbs up!!
An absolutely DELIGHTFUL layout today, Vicky! Just love it! Your details are always the best! ♥
Gorgeous art journal layout, Vicki – I love watching your videos – you make it look so simple! But I know it takes talent, which you have in buckets! Your highlights and little details really makes these pages pop! Oh and what a sweet kitty – makes me miss mine who also liked to “help”!
Thank you for another inspirational layout!
You mention in your video that you provide information / links in your product description for the finger daubers and case but I can’t seem to locate them. Did you say they’re by “Chicknako”? I’m pretty sure I misunderstood. Would definitely love to get a set of those.
Thank you again!! Love the helper-kitty, too! 🙂
Hi. Nice and funny page. Like it. Have you ever tried the Distress Glaze on Gelatos? Is that a good sealer ?
I love your pages and this fantastic summer page is no exception! Gorgeous! Love your cute cat, too!
My 7-year-old daughter has shown big interest in art journaling because of your videos – she sits with the ipad and you tube in front of her by the craft table, and mimics your work (with her own twist, of course). 🙂 So – BIG thanks to you for all the inspiration you give!! 😀

I always learn so much from you. Thank you!
You are so talented, just love watching your videos, I always learn something new from watching you. Hoping one day a little of your talent will rub off on to me :)( doubt it), lol.
Thanks Vicki
Such beautiful, vibrant colors! You’ve definitely captured the feeling of a relaxing summer’s day! I’ve been wanting to get some of those Dylusions Paints, and this layout has inspired me to bite the bullet and get some!
Love, love, love your journal today. Nothing like a beautiful summer day. Ginger is so adorable. When you were brush stroking his head was moving back and forth, back and forth. He is so cute. Vicking thank you for sharing. Your jounals are amazing as well as your cards.
Hey Happy Sunday Vicky…WOW WOW WOW what an outstanding Art Journal Page I love your title and your letters…but OMG what you did to create your watermelon and cocktail totally blew me away…your creative ideas are amazing and out of bounds Funtabulous.
I totally had so much fun watching your create away and seeing your everything come to life.
YOU so ROCK!!
Love it!
Such an adorable page!! The only thing better then a video from you is one in which Ginger pops in to say HI!!!
Thanks again for sharing and kitty kisses to Ginger.
Gorgeous layout–it gave me a great idea for a card.
Love your layout, but Ginger stole the show!
Vicky, I love your art journaling! I love how creative you are and would like to know where you get your inspiration from!
The Dylusions paints have such gorgeous colours. Nice to know they are semi-opaque. Ginger looked like she was watching a tennis match! Lovely summer page with my favourite colours.
Nice to hear you are having a lovely summer Vicki. Enjoy!
As always, beautiful creation!!!
You’re such an inspiraton to me, thank you sooooo much!!!

Beautiful journal page – I always enjoy seeing you in action! I think Ginger was a big help today. My cats don’t help when they are in my craftroom – all they do is sleep! Thank you for another wonderful and inspirational video!
Hi Vicky
I could watch you journalling ALL DAY!!! Fanastic work and really appreciate how you talk your way through. I’m learning so much! I am gradually getting together materials so that one day soon I can have a go!! Just love your cat too!!
Hugs X
This is absolutely beautiful. I love watching you do your layouts. Very nice of you to allow your kitty to help out, and tell you how to do things. ^_^ I’m sure you’d be lost without all the help.. hehe Thanks so much for sharing.
Another fabulous Vicky layout! The watermelon looks juicy enough to eat. I think Ginger should create a layout, too!
Wow! Beautiful! I love your choice of colors!
Another wonderfully inspiring layout. Just beautiful and such a happy, playful layout! Thanks!
Your kitty is so precious. Mine has to be right in the middle of everything too. Thanks for sharing this journal page. I love the colors you used and the design is so perfect for summer. Thanks for inspiring and sharing.
As usual , you make my day better, thanks for your beautiful work. I’m a huge fan from Argentina.
So beautiful and vibrant journal page, just as summer days in Greece are! Ginger is so so cute!!! I loved watching him watching you create and I laughed when he followed the movement of your brush! 🙂 Thank you for the great video and the inspiration!
I’m in awe! Such beautiful work today and always!
thinking about you as your government goes through this scary time…..
Another amazingly beautiful and colorful layout page Vicky!
Such a talent! Always love all of your art work! Brings joy to the soul! Have a lovely day!
gorgeous…that paint is amazing.
Just love the tutorials…just had bilateral knee surgery. Unable to do anything so I am entertained by watching these. Always a pleasure, so talented. Love the kitty too! My dog doesn’t understand why he can’t come into my room at this time he’s huge…
Thank you for introducing me to the distree glaze. It’s so funny that I had a problem after stamping on a journal page with white then using matte medium clearly before it was set, even though it was more than 24 hours. The glaze will take care of this for me. I also love that I can now use distress ink more freely and it won’t bleed. Thanks many times!
You are an art journal GENIUS!!! Truly amazing & inspiring…luv your kitty making an appearance (and supervising your work!) hope to see him more 🙂
I DID have fun and get inspired! Your work is amazing! The lovely drink reminds me of a treat I get at Red Lobster called Sunset Passion. It is comprised of strawberry daiquiri and piña colada. I get it nonalcoholic and it is delicious. I love the colors you used, your watermelon, the highlighting with the white gel pen…..all of it. You make it look so easy. When I try to do the same, it comes out looking stiff and not flowing.
I forgot to mention, I love your little kitty, Ginger……so sweet.
I just discovered your blog and You Tube channel. I am so glad I did. I have never jumped on the art journal band wagon because it always seemed so dark and messy to me. I LOVE your pages. They are bright and cheery. As a card maker, I will be starting an art journal to experiment in and will be using a lot of your ideas on my cards. Thanks for sharing all your creativity!
Love all your art journal pages and I still cannot develop to courage to start my own since I think creativity does not come to me. Please keep doing your wonderful work for inspiration
You are such an inspiration!!! I love, love, love all of your posts!! I wait (not so patiently) for each and every art journal video. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us!!
Beautiful work. Summer is my favorite. You have once again proven that art journals don’t have to be complicated. Anyone can do it. Thank you for continuing to to inspire my creativity.
This is awesome! I need to start a journal so I can loosen up and live a little!!
Beautiful… I love the vibrant colors that you chose!
Your artwork is so inspiring. I love your videos. (Your cat, too). I look forward to your videos and (silly, perhaps) I save them to watch when I need a boost. Thanks for your beautiful projects and videos.
Enjoy watching the process. Great colors! Love your furry helper!
