Oscraps

It is already the second week in July! I can barely believe how fast time is going by!! This year is more than half over!!

This month’s topic is {CONNECTIONS} and for some reason this one has been hard for me. I hope it hasn’t been too challenging for you as well. I’m still working on my week 2 page, but man, Cheryl really hit it out of the park with this one!!

She says: “Hello and welcome to the July AJ Challenge, Week 2. Our word prompt for July is {CONNECTION}. Although this word might seem similar to other word prompts we’ve given you, upon researching for the challenge, I’ve come to believe that it’s very unique. This quote that I found pretty much sums up what the word really means.

“Invisible threads are the strongest ties.” – Friedrich Nietzsche 

How beautiful is the thought of invisible threads connection us? I really like this next quote too and it follows the same line of thought.

“Everywhere was connected to everywhere else, Pismire had said.” – Terry Pratchett

Let these two quotes sink in for a minute. I found them very powerful and profound.”

Here is Cheryl’s fantastic page!!!

and here is our randomly chosen page by Mimi :

I am just entranced by the sketch girl encircled by the paint and the fabulous title work. The quote from Job is also so perfect!!

So come join us – even if it’s hard, you’ll be happy when you are done! Some “connection” will happen in your brain and you will be happy with the page that comes out! I found a picture and it started my journey to my page – and it’s finding the elements that I want to use that’s taking so much time!

Keep up the great work – and as always, if you join in on the challenges, each month we randomly award a gift certificate – and you get an entry for each page you make (up to 4 per month!!!
