Recently, while browsing around the Disney YouTube page we found the most AMAZINGsong ever and knew we had to share!
If you don't know who Auli'i Cravalho is- she is Moana! Yep, that's right, that cute smiling face is our favorite ocean loving princess. This song is part of Disney's new "Dream Big Princess" series and we are in LOVE. It's all about taking the stories of Disney princesses and using them to inspire your life.
That being said, this song is what we are really excited about! Just look at some of the lyrics--
Not just a fighter Not just a dreamer Amazing creator Relentless believer In who I am and what I got inside
Amazing creator. Does that sound like Art Journaling the Magic goldor what? So our question for you is-- what is your story? Creation is a part of us, isn't it? So let's create! Share your art with us using #artjournalingthemagic on Instagram and we will feature your story!
Here are a few journal page ideas:
How do you defy the impossible?
Draw yourself inside a mirror- then write the affirmation "I am a beautiful treasure" all around it!
What Disney princess inspires you to dream big?
What do the words "dream, write, see, live" mean to you and your story?

Have you ever noticed the windows while walking down Main Street? These windows pay tribute to the important people in Disney history.
The tradition of receiving a Window was established by Walt Disney for the park. He personally selected the names that would be revealed on opening day. {Read More}
There are so many Disney dates and anniversaries it's hard to keep track, and you know how us Disney fans love to celebrate all the little things. Terri from our Happy Place Creative team will be keeping us posted with these adorable monthly calendars!

Recently Tangie went live for the first time on our @artjournalingthemagicInstagram account (if you don't follow us on Instagram you should!). She reviews her retreat journal from retreat No. 10 where they were at Disneyland (and it looks like they had an amazing time!). Brittney Leavitt and James Burke were our guest teachers, they were absolutely marvelous. We hope you enjoy!
Whether you're planning on "Disneybounding"* for a visit to the parks, or just want to add a little island Wayfinder style to your everyday life, we've rounded up ocean's worth of Moana's goodies. You're welcome! {Read More}
The month of January is full of excitement. There’s been the buzz of the holidays and the dreams of new years resolution to get us pumped for a brand new year.

Well as Uncle Walt would say “If you can dream it, you can do it!” Our new year's resolution for 2019 is to help you achieve your dreams! And oh boy have we got some AMAZING things lined up for you. Here are 5 ways that the whole Art Journaling the Magic crew want to help you make your dreams come true.
Art Journaling the Magic Live Retreat
There are still a few spots left for our February retreat! We will be playing at Walt Disney World and exploring every magical nook and cranny through art. Come meet new friends, get away for an art-cation and see the world through the eyes of a little child once more.
Happy Place Subscription:
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog! While the Happy Place may not be the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse it sure is close. And what’s even better is it got a makeover for 2019! From Sketch Challenges to Disney inspired recipes to magical playlists- there is something for everyone! Each month we explore a phrase from a Disney movie or song and give it magical meaning in our lives. It’s a perfect way to set aside some magical minutes for yourself to play, do art and be online with friends.
A Walk In The Park: Walt Disney World
Whether you are an Art Journaling the Magic veteran or still aren’t sure what all the fuss is about- A Walk in the Park: Walt Disney World is perfect for you. We explore techniques used at the live retreats and use them to draw our favorite WDW attractions. We’ve already got tons of lessons up and there are more where that came from!
A Walk in the Park: Just for Kids
If you need something for your cute kiddos to do or if they want to art journal with you then we have got just the thing! A Walk in the Park: Just for Kids is for kids by kids! Not only do you get lessons from Tangie, Sammy, and Dave- you also get exclusive bonus videos from Tangie’s nieces.
Golden Books, Stickers, and more!
Journals, stickers, and prints oh my! As always our main shop has goodies to satisfy your artist cravings. Whether you need a new journal or some fun stickers designed by Tangie we have got the thing for you! We are always adding new covers for our signature Golden Book Journals by Dave. Don’t see what you like? We do custom too! Let us know if you have a special request and we will see what we can do!
So come play with us and make your dreams come true! And just remember
Our first retreat of the 2018-2019 season was a blast and truly magical. Mindy Lacefield came to play as our guest teacher. We discovered something even more magical when we realized that it was our 5 year anniversary! What?!?! Tangie told us the story of how Art Journaling the Magic came to be and we wanted to share that with you.
We’ve come a long way (literally across the country!) since the first Art Journaling the Magic and we plan to go further still!
AJTM No. 8 was truly magical. We started off the week with our opening night party at Earl of Sandwich with TONS of goodies. Including custom AJTM ears from Tangie and a bag of surprises by Mindy.
Over the next few days, we explored Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and the Magic Kingdom. We loved every moment of it.
As Tangie’s says “No two retreats are the same!” so we can’t wait to see how the next one goes. Make sure to check all of our retreat options so you can join in on the fun!
