July AJ Challenge ~ Week 1 {CONNECTIONS}

July Art Journal Challenge ~ Week 1 {CONNECTIONS} — https://oscraps.com/community/threads/july-art-journal-challenge-week-1-connections.42376/

I was stuck at first, I couldn't think of any connections that were an important part of me. Then I spent the afternoon with my best friend, which helped me pull it all together.

I made a couple of tweaks from the kit in making my page,
I wanted to use an overlay for extra texture. I opened Artsy Paper 4 and changed it to B/W. I selected the white areas and then deleted them. I then blended it over my background paper (Color 100%) and added a drop shadow to it.
I also loved the boy and girl stamp in the kit, especially since we have been friends since we were young. I copied some hair from a different stamp in the kit, placed it over the boy's head and merged the layers.

When I think of this you are the last person I would have expected to struggle. Your connections to nature, to the love of what you do, to familyWhen I think of this you are the last person I would have expected to struggle. Your connections to nature, to the love of what you do, to family, but anyway, I love what you did come up with. I love the background and how it illustrates that connections can go in different directions and yet never really disconnect. I love the way you adapted the art to make it work for your idea .
 
Chris, this is perfect! I know your BFF would totally agree with your sentiments! Such a beautiful page! I absolutely love that stamp of the 2 holding hands! Love the bg and the little heart/butterfly cluster and the butterfly/flower cluster you created! Great page!
 
Chris this is beautiful. What a great representation of the connection we have with our soul sisters. I love the softness and the cute little kids holding hands. I love the ups and downs represented in the color across the center.
 
I am really loving this page! Its so important to have a "soul" sister, and while I wish she was here in Vegas, the connection to Cheryl through scrapping brought her to me. Your quote is so perfect for your topic!
