I love allowing color and collage to influence a journal page. I love this color palette, and then I grabbed a stack of collage paper from the stash and remade them to match the colors.

The word for this color and collage challenge is “Reflect”, and I used that to bring the details in on my page. To reflect on what I’m grateful for in this season. I think we all could use a little time to remember the things that bring us joy and make us grateful.

This was a peaceful journey, and a super simple to color mix. The schedule for the challenges is free to download in the library. The schedule has the dates, which color palettes we’re using from the book “Colour inspiration from Vintage Fabric” by Simone Linehan.

All of the videos from a year and a half of challenges are in the library with the supplies list and links.

I hope you get a chance to create today and that you enjoy the process. And always know that you are loved!
