I have always been an "artsy-fartsy" person. Doodling, sketching, and painting with watercolors were one of my favorite things to do, and I kind of pushed it aside as I got older. I recently took a watercoloring class, and I kind of fell in love with painting again. To keep all of my new artwork in one place, I decided to make my own DIY Watercolor Journal using my Cricut.
