Welcome to Collage
This book is for you if you’re going from creative dabbler to artsy practice-r.
It’s for you if you feel like the art you’re making just doesn’t look quite like you’d like it to.
It’s to level up the products and classes you have, and learn to rely on yourself.
This is modern art journaling.
Back in the good old days, before the internet and Wikipedia, we had encyclopedias. The knowledge of the entire universe (or so we thought) housed in 32 volumes of thick, sturdy books.
These Idea Books bring back that nostalgia and endeavor to cover a broad array of art journaling techniques. Definitely not all of them, but certainly enough so that you’ll never be stuck on what to do next.
We do this in the form of Get Messy Recipes. This type of art journaling format has been around for over a DECADE and has been tried and tested. Messy Recipes have magical properties.
I liken Messy Recipes to baking a cake because they have ingredients (the art supplies) and a method. They’re also totally not like baking a cake though, because you don’t have to keep things exact. In fact, you’re encouraged not to. When following a Messy Recipe, follow your curiosity - adapt, branch out, ignore certain things, and absolutely follow your joy.
Every single time you follow a recipe, you’ll discover a new outcome. If you’re lucky enough to have creative friends, try following it together - we do that inside the Get Messy community. Marvel at how, even with the exact same ingredients and method, the outcomes vary so wildly and beautifully.
The other magical part of Messy Recipes? They prevent overthinking and allow you to just have fun in your art. Learn new techniques, make a mess, release expectations, and enjoy the process.
Are you willing to try? Have all the stuff? Let’s get over that hump, grab our (paint-soaked) hands, and take action.

Collage is a staple for so many art journalers because it allows us to indulge in our magpie-ness. We get to put those papers collected over time and put them in use in the journal.
“We are mosaics. Pieces of light, love, history, stars... Glued together with magic and music and words.”
― Anita Krizzan
In the same way that we are multi-faceted, collage allows our journal to be too. There is creativity imbued in every step of the process - collecting, arranging, and placing. Choose images that spark something deep within you to create another facet representing who you are.
You’ll learn from three very different artists (Caylee, Claudette, and Vanessa), and you’ll get to discover your style through it. We’ll guide you gently and enthusiastically. We’ll show you the technique and how to make it your own.
Let’s release the art that looks like you.
Techniques in this Idea Book:- The Altered Figure - make magazine images your own
- Using a Focal Image - expand outward to create a cohesive spread
- A Week in Paper - collect pieces of life through paper and store them in your journal
- More is More Layering - add more and more layers to create depth
- Peek & Reveal - allow the unexpected to guide your flow to reveal what lies beneath
- Layering Transparencies - play with papers of varying opacities
- Bonus: Collage as Expression

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to HPB-Emerald, Carrollton, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
