Turning collage paper into a meaningful journal page 9-14-25

Today, I’m creating my color and collage challenge. I was able to use almost all collage paper for this journal page.

The palette was bold and full of some of my favorite colors. Since the word for this challenge was healing, I felt called to bring a gentle mood and softness into the journal page, letting it hold the emotions I wanted to express.

There’s always a lot of layers when it comes to healing… and so there are a lot of layers to this page. I’ll share more the video.

Don’t forget you can access the schedules of the challenge and all the challenge videos for 2 years in the free Subscriber Library.

Have fun watching and always know that you are loved!

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 30 years. About 15 years ago I found my art soul mate in mixed media, and it changed my life! I love the story that can be told by combining paint, texture, ink, paper and—really anything that you can imagine.

But what I’m truly passionate about is being your guide, walking with you step by step and helping you become your own hero in your creative journey.

Along my path, I’ve learned that the creating art also creates a healing space. Life can be messy and complicated and painful, but something about a paint brush can help heal your soul.

Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
