Hello, September!
Each month through 2024, a broad theme will be provided for the challenge and you can interpret these themes as literally or as loosely and abstractly as you wish.
If you’d like to learn something specific please let us know!
Last month's winner was @fruitysuet. Congratulations! Coupons will be going out to participants and the winner soon.
This month's theme is ROUTINE. In September, the back-to-school mindset seems to be in the air (even if you aren't going back to school or have family members who are). It is that getting-into-a-routine-time of year when seasons are changing and the last quarter of the year is hitting the calendar. Here are some routine-related themes to choose from:
* A playlist that reflects your daily mood
* A daily/weekly/monthly schedule (for you, a family member, a friend, a pet, or an inanimate object)
* An exercise regimen
* A mantra or mindfulness practice (or favorite quotes you focus on)
* A feeling or trait you'd like more of in your daily life and how you'll get more of it
* Imagine your perfect day and document what it would be like
Tips/Technique/Tutorial:
With each challenge, a tip/technique/tutorial will be included. There is no pressure to incorporate the tip/technique/tutorial into your challenge page, the choice is entirely yours.
My tip for the month is to try repetition on your page. For me, many times my art journal pages are kind of wild and eclectic. Often times, they don't even necessarily make sense to me. But the idea of repeating elements can tie things together and add a sense of cohesiveness that may otherwise be missing. It can bring visual interest and might even provide a path for the viewer's eye to travel along. You could certainly do it with photos as well, but I think it is fun to do with elements and change size, color and/or position/direction.
Challenge Requirements:
If you have any questions just tag me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I look forward to your creations!
