Art Journaling ~ What’s Your {Perspective}?

I hope that you have been challenged by our theme of the art Journaling challenges this month, and maybe you had time to really think about perspectives, and maybe even challenged some in your life. I know I have. Someday I will make a journal entry about it, but for now it is still germinating in my lil ole pea brain!

Chris really challenged us this month with her spin on the challenge:

“Welcome to Week Four of the March Art Journaling Challenge.
I have been amazed at the different ways everyone has been using the prompt of “Perspective” this month. Each page you have created has been inspiring and eye-opening to me. I hope this process has done the same for you. Since this is the end of the month, it is time for us to do a wrap-up of the previous weeks so far.
We are going to change our perspective on one of the pages we already made.
If you haven’t participated yet this month, that is absolutely not a problem. Go ahead, scrap weeks 1-3, and come back when you are done. No, no!! I am just kidding! 

You can substitute one of your other pages or use one from the Art Journal Gallery.

Now for the instructions.
Go to the AJ gallery and choose one of your pages. Next, flip it! Change the perspective and then use that to scraplift yourself to make a new page.
You can flip the original page horizontally, vertically diagonally. You *could* flip yourself on your head and view the page that way, but I don’t recommend that. 

Once you have the page switched up, see how it looks to you. Does it feel any different? Were you able to see something new in the page that perhaps you didn’t notice before? Take your time with this step, really dig into the differences no matter how small they might be.
The final step is to scrap one last page for the prompt “Perspective” using that flipped page as your inspiration.

I used my LOs from weeks one and three and I flipped them horizontally. I also use a reflection for the title work to add to the sense of change in perspective.

I had a super tough time with this week. My pages didn’t seem to have a way to “flip” them, so I tried to show a change in perspective.

Here is the randomly chosen page by Bubby:

There is still time to make a page (or four) for this month’s challenge and to be entered into the contest for the gift certificate!! I look forward to seeing all your magnificent pages as they come in…

And next month – we have a new member to our team, and she will be introducing herself soon!!!
