Happy 2021 New Year! I'm delighted to put 2020 behind me. The year started out great with many wonderful moments and adventures, but I've been shut at home since mid-March. I'm looking forward to a brighter 2021.
The January prompt at Art Journal Journey is My Favourite Things.
Family, traveling, and art are among my favorite things which I combined into this two page art journal spread. I hope to get back to doing those things in 2021--a new beginning after COVID is under control. And hope springs eternal that I will get to England some day to see where my parents were married.
Inspiration for the layering is from Mary Beth Shaw of Stencilgirl Products who offers " art along" sessions on her FaceBook page which are taped and can be done at any time. You may recognize some Tim Holtz products--tissue paper, stencil, washi tape and paper dolls. I layered in some drywall tape, old sheet music, and a cut up Basic Grey scrapbook paper. Waves across the ocean are a STAMPlorations ARTplorations FOILED stencil.

I am with you Helene about wanting to see family and travel. 202o was quite a year. Your page covers my feelings too. I love the postal tissue paper and those stenciled waves. Beautiful work. And perfect for this month's AJJ challenge. I am very happy you joined us, and hope to see you again also. Thank you. Hope your 2021 starts off well and that you have a happy new year as you would like. Hugs-Erika

I love all the layers on this spread. Beautiful work! Happy New Year and thanks for joining us at More Than Words Challenges!
I normally am not hip on travel (did a bunch of it for work years ago and was never home), but now that we can't travel, I am dreaming of it often. Love the details and texture of your pages and all the wonderful things to look at. So well done and inspiring!
Loving the layers & the details. Happy New Year & thank you for participating in the More Than Words Challenge.
It wasn't good last year for travel or seeing family, I also lost my best friend to cancer in Autumn so Winter is bleak! I am hoping that 2021 with a vaccine now available things will begin to feel 'normal' soon!
You journal page is full of hope - such fabulous layers and colours! Happy New Year, Chrisx

What a gorgeous mixed media spread! I love all of the Tim Holtz products that you used and hopefully 2021 will bring us all new beginnings! Thank you so much for joining us at More Than Words this month!
I promised myself I wouldn't be late visiting my Art Journal Journey friends, but here I am running late and several days have passed that I've missed. It started when I lost electricity on January 1 and hasn't allowed me to catch up due to the cold that still prevails in my home.
What a cornucopia of background beauty. Your choice of products to use on the background made me smile. I also like how you colored the hats on the paper dolls, too. Thanks for this incredible beauty you shared with us at Art Journal Journey, Helene.
Gorgeous layering, much love to you.. DT Jinal Savla.. thank you for playing along with Mixed Media Academy Challenge..
