I am going to play more and learn to art/junk journal this year. This is attempt #1 and just did this on a scrap 6x9 sheet of mixed media paper I had. Plan to adhere to a journal after I figure out what to get. Background is Distress ink smooshing and a couple different stencils with Distress Oxides added through those. I used a couple of bonus scrap pieces I received from Jayne on this to start as focal point. Punched hole in a Purple Heart sticker and centered on ladyâs eye and added a few more hearts. Stamped some arrows pointing to the dictionary page that highlights the words Goof, Goofball, and Goofy. Added more stencil doodles with black pen. Stamped date I did this at the bottom and used number stickers for year. Added Dylusions sentiment on torn scrap blue paper and stapled it to page. Hit all the challenge elements for this.
Stenciled background in part, sticker, part of book page, blue, something with holes, staples.

I second the idea to play more. It is so fun just seeing what comes forth from just experimenting and having fun. This is a great fun collage in those wonderful Mardi Gras colors.

Fantastic collage to start off your 2022 journal! I love the dictionary insert with all the "goofy" words! Such fun! We'll have to encourage each other to keep up on our goal to do MM each month this year!
