Karen Elaine on Instagram: "I’ve got a lot of unfinished art journals in my collection but this little tag book didn’t take long to complete since it contained only a few pages. I sometimes enjoy projects that I can complete quickly because they are immediately satisfying. 😁 And it gives me the creative spark to work on the bigger projects. 🩵 #watercolor #creativelifehappylife #artjournal #handmadejournal #tagbook #creative"
