You made it! No matter where or when you started your Art Journaling journey in 2024, you're here. I know that I can speak for Sonja, Cheryl, and Susie when I say how appreciative we are that you have been working on these challenges with us. For some, art journaling comes easy, and for others, it might be a little intimidating. At first. It gets easier as you go. 
This is the last week of the year and my, what it year it has been. I hope that these many weeks of reflection, insight, and creativity have helped you in as many ways as it did for me. Let's say... it has been illuminating.
My AJ challenge is usually an end-of-the-month wrap-up based on the month's topic. This month, however, I'd like to expand a little and focus on the year. What has been illuminating for you? We talked about Gratitude and A-Ha! moments. Serenity, Courage, and Connections. Which of these helped you see the light in yourself or in others? Maybe it was something physical that happened like watching a meteor shower. Maybe it was something that touched your heart and illuminated you with emotion. Possibly, it was simply turning a light on after the power went out.
My page reflects the difficulties I have accepting that I am "good enough" and that I can be the light in difficult times. Sometimes, my inner voice gets drowned out by the darkness of self-doubt. My page is a reminder to myself that I am the light.
You can choose to do a single page/tag/TN 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.
Challenge Rules:
You have until 11:59 p.m. CST on December 31 to complete your pages for this challenge.

Hmmmm...... Maybe this will be my idea. The light you have all brought to AJ for me and shown me that I can do it.
