Monthly Muse- March 2017 -Week 1-

​

Welcome to the Art Journaling Monthly Muse!​

Muse:
verb: to reflect deeply on something
noun: the source of artistic inspiration​

Hello hello!!!!! Here I am with this month Monthly Muse!!!!! In case you just arrived and don't know how it works: I bring you an image/concept for inspiration this month, and every week we will scrap a page -or 10 if you are like me!!! focusing on a different aspect of this image. I will be back next week Friday to give you the 2nd aspect for our inspiration, and so on until the end of the month.

Our Muse for this month, as I explained in the gallery, I did not draw this, the link in Pinterest is broken so I can't credit the author.

​

This appealed so much to me as I had been talking to someone and mentioned " I keep fighting to keep my head above water"...but we don't necessarily need to scrap on the emotional side of it...we can go as light or as deep as you want, our goal is to scrap with pleasure!!!

Our first week inspiration is WATER-​

Taken the success of @AnneofAlamo 's awesome Skinnies, and the generosity of @Scrapping with Liz , we still have the templates available for free, so if you wish, you can do this month as a skinny too, but it isn't a requirement this time... you can make full pages if you prefer.
If you do decide to go for the Skinnies but haven't got the template from last month, you can find the templates available HERE.
Also Christa @cfile has made a gorgeous template idea for this month, to scrap each week into a triangle that will complete the page- Christa's awesome template is HERE on PSD- let us know if you need any other format!

You should scrap your page, post in the Art Journaling Gallery HERE and then come share with us here
To do so, copy the 3rd link on the right hand side of your LO, the one that reads :
Share BB Code:
and just paste the copied link into your text in the post DO NOT use any icons, no need to click on anything, just copy on the link, then paste it here in your text! Thanks to Margaret @londoncuppa for calling attention to this!

We will draw a winner in the end of the month, even more incentives for your inspiration!
Can't wait to see what you come up with!!!
If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask!!!

 

Margaret, to be honest, not sure, I know if you scrap 12 x 12 should work, and if the image is saved at 72dpi it will definitely work on 12x 12 /600 x 600...the share the image thing makes me have to click to go to your gallery and then find your page... in some cases is quick, but as I have some neurological problems it can take up more time, but if I survived MOC, I can certainly survive looking for your page so not to worry LOL
@londoncuppa

 

I thin Bev is right.... Margaret. the only thing you need doing is clicking on the right hand side of your LO into that code, just one click, copy, then come post it here straight into the text, like if I am now writing and I come paste, not click any icons, just click paste and it will write here
blablah blah blah blah
without using anything..... just paste here

 

@AmandaJ !!!!!!!! gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! amazingly lovely (as always of course!!!!)

LOL no, it isn't... you can carry on doing whatever you feel is best for you though, like I said to Margaret, I didn't have much trouble during MOC with more than 200 people...I can do this for sure...if for any reason I can't find it, I would message you

I find that (copy & paste) is the easiest way, but I say it again, no worries if for you is the best way, keep doing whatever is best for you.... I know I was able to find every page on MOC so I don't see any major problems on finding pages now!!

Feel free to do what you find easier girls, no problem!!!

 

Christa, I took the liberty to add your template link to the initial post,. thank you!!!!!!!!

Margaret @londoncuppa thanks for calling the attention to the image issue, I added the explanation to the initial post
