This page and the words I used are multi-layered in meaning.
First…I’m using a new journal in a new way. Junk journal being an art journal.
Secondly the words reflected how I am feeling about this new school year. Both my kids are doing college from their bedrooms, while I will be in the classroom 4 days a week and remote another day. A school year that no one can predict. Something to tell the grandkids some day…a long, long time from now. ;)
I layered up a couple of tags that were cut from masterboards. I love having pieces like that in my stash. They really make quick work of journal pages while adding depth and interest.
The ticket was a last minute addition…it’s my ticket to the new adventure ahead.
Linking up today with Art Journal Journey for Alison’s theme of Pockets and Tags.
The year is unprecedented, and everyone is not sure how to feel about how different everything is. I think the tales we’ll tell to the ones who didn’t live through it will be met with stunned disbelief.
I like the new journal. And it’s a great quote for the start of the school year. How did your 4 hour meeting go?
So is J back at the University or still at home? And is Mini-me going to be able to attend archery competitions? And are YOU going to feel safe at school? I’m sure you have lots of worries right now.
This is a wonderful journal page, Halle. I really love it and all the different pieces you used to create it, too. Yes, it is an adventure both in your art and your new school year. I love that you shared this with us at Art Journal Journey using Alison’s theme.
A fantastic page and start to a new journal and school year
Things are so different for everyone this year.
Stay safe and thank you for linking to the theme at Art Journal Journey.

What a fab page this is. It has inspired me to start making a new Junk Journal where I can be myself and be more fluid than I am at present. Thank You.
I did think at first that there were quite a few fabric elements on here but now I am not too sure but you have done some stitching and used a Masterboard tag which imitates fabric perfectly.
A lovely page – thanks.
Hugs, Neet x
Wonderful collage page! I love all the different elements Halle!
Thank you for linking to my theme at AJJ.
