Welcome to Week 2 of our August challenges. Our word prompt for this month is Serenity.
What is serenity? The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as:
serenity /sə-rĕn′ĭ-tē/
Here are two quote/mood boards that I found that gave me a good starting point for this week's challenge, and I hope they'll be helpful to you, as well.
Here's my sample layout. I used one of my featured quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson, and used our word prompt "Serenity" on my layout this week. I've used this little "wounded bird" once before, but this time, I added wings. My layout represents her metamorphosis from the sad little bird to the beautiful ballerina. The quote ties it together.
Since I chose to do the Divided Template this month, here is my template, so far, with week 1 and week 2.
You can choose to do a single page each week, or do a divided template - one part for each week. If you don't have the Divided Template and would like to have it, you can get it here at Dropbox. Thank you to Ona @wombat146 for providing the template choices for us! If you do the template, we would love it if you would post it incrementally. Post one done in the first week, post an image of the two together on the second, and three on the third, and then the finished page on the fourth week.
Again - the template is NEVER a requirement to use, just something fun and different if you want to use it.
Everyone who participates in any of this month's challenges will be entered into a drawing for a $5 gift certificate to Oscraps. You can receive up to four entries into this month's drawing.
I can't wait to see what you have to share about the prompt SERENITY
Challenge Rules:
You have until 11:59 p.m. CST on AUGUST 31st to complete your pages for this challenge.
