Boujee Bits
Janis has been paper crafting and scrapbooking since 1997 and recently discovered art journaling through a workshop she attended at Heal Tree in Lewes, DE in 2023. Afterwards, her art journaling evolved into creative journal making using a variety of recyclable products, fabrics, papers, and mixed media mediums such as watercolors, acrylic paints, texture pastes, embossing powders, foiling and even pressed flowers. Even the littlest bits of materials used can be saved and turned into creative elements, hence the name BOUJEE BITS.
She makes and sells many journals at local area craft fairs during the spring and fall. Janis has found that this creative outlet has helped her tremendously on her own healing journey from long term, complex grief. She feels writing and creating can be healing and her hope is that these beautiful journals will be used by healing humans everywhere. By listening to and answering the call of the universe, she now offers workshops to share the joy of making creative journals with others.
