wonderful AJ page with great words

A really striking page and you can feel the emotion in it

Belle this is beautifully courageous. I love the emotion in your layout. The oldest with open arms, ready to embrace a better future. Just beautiful. Sorry it was a rough time and you had to go through it.

Belle, I remember your story and what courage to take your sisters and try to make you all a better life and what courage to scrap your story here. Your page is beautiful in so many ways and has so much meaning to it. The keyhole, the train station, the figures - all such touching pieces to tell your story. This is lovely, Belle and thank you for sharing and creating it.

This is stunning, Belle. I love the gritty look to your page, which has real depth and meaning to it. The images and journaling are so impactful - I love the symbolism of the train and the tracks in front. We're so glad you're embracing our Art Journaling challenges.

What a powerful and emotional page. I can't read your journaling but from what I gather from other comments, it was a very difficult time. The word art and outstretched arms give the page a sense of strength and hope. Hugs to you~~~

Belle, you are killing it for these art journal challenges! This is just so dramatic and eye catching. I was pulled in before I even read the journaling. Oh my, that is so sad that you had to escape such a situation and at such a young age and with responsibility for younger sisters. Your family today is so strong and beautiful. That is the celebration.

Belle I’ve come back here 5 times to leave a comment and each time I’ve been utterly speechless. This is so strong and powerful. Like Celestine said even without the journaling it’s profound in its portrayal of courage and your journaling is the exclamation point. You have taken something so tragic and through your courage you’ve created beauty both in your layout and through your life. Big Hugs to you for sharing this part of your story with us.
