Focus---AJWk1-0924
Done for the AJ Challenge Week 1 for Sept. 2024 found here: https://oscraps.com/community/threads/september-art-journaling-challenge-week-1-focus.40416/

Journaling reads: More times than not I have to make myself get up in the mornings and take those first steps to better health! 8/29/24

Process:
I blended my photo into the bg paper using High Light blend mode to add the texture from my photo and to pick up the texture from the paper.

I stretched the word “focus” from Rachel’s word art to make it larger than the rest of the type. I did this by using the rectangular marquee tool to select the word. Then I clicked on the move tool to obtain points of the selection that I could stretch. This leaves the rest of the element to remain in its original size, changing only the selected portion.

WOW! I love this!!! I love the foot and how it goes with your journaling. Showing just how focused we have to be some days to put one foot in front of the other. Wonderful LO. Its so soft yet full of steel determination.
 
I love the imagery of the shoe and the message take one step at a time! There is a saying I heard, "bring the body and the mind will follow".
 
This is incredible! I really like the way the foot ties in with your journaling. It perfectly captures the level of focus needed on those days when every step feels like a challenge. The layout is beautifully done—soft yet brimming with unwavering resolve.
 
Everyone ahead of me has expressed so well the strong imagery and message! So beautifully creative and very inspiring, both in artistic measures as well as emotional/spiritual. Very pretty page.
 
Lovely page, I really like the photo perspective, and the message. I love how you used the brushes, nicely done!
 
Vicky, this is fantastic - and I totally relate!! The hardest part of exercise is deciding to do it! I really like the blended tennis shoe and it definitely tells the story!
