August 2020 - ART JOURNAL CHALLENGE

A-M

Well-known member
Thankyou for those who took part in my challenge last month. I really enjoyed the different pages shared and hope you all return this month to work with the theme I have chosen for August.
Remember that this challenge is not part of the rewards system but you must still use at least 50% of Ginger Scrap store products on your pages.

For those who did not take part last month please go to last month's opening post HERE where I do some explaining of things for this challenge and style of Art Journaling.

Just a thought I had to help explain about art journaling is to see it as if you are writing in your diary in an arty way - adding illustrations to represent your thoughts, plans or emotions. If you were doing this is in a real diary you might glue in a piece of paper, ticket or some paper ephemera but you would not attach a large thick embellishment. So this is what I see needs to happen with digital art journaling - keep your pages flat.

Now for this months theme where I just share one word which you need to show somewhere on your page and can use it in any form.... plural, make it an action work by adding "ing", etc.

Your word for August..... DREAM
I hope you enjoy this month's theme and I look forward to seeing what you all create.

Here is my page which I kept monotone except for the stars:


 
Here's mine. :D



Anne-Marie, what size are you making your pages? I think I'd like to do that instead.
 
Ane, I am doing my pages in A4 which is Australian size similar to USA Lettersize (8.5x11). If I decide to print any of my artjournal pages they will go in inexpensive folders for that size.
 
Thank you Anne-Marie, here is mine. Very out of my comfort zone but enjoying trying to be arty.

 
Here is mine :)

Journaling reads:

I dream
of a life filled with respect and civility... of a place where we care about what our friends have to say about what is going on in the world... where we can embrace each other’s point of view and respect their right to have an opinion different from our own.

Is this just a dream?

A great challenge:
