Welcome to Week 3 of the February Art Journaling Challenge. The theme for this month is Discover and how you interpret that word is entirely up to you.

Personally, I've been "discovering" how to navigate the waters of being a widow now instead of a wife of 44 years. I have to tell you it's been more difficult than I could ever have imagined. I decided to take this opportunity and use our word discover to delve deep into my raw feelings. I used Ona's Divided Template, because in my grief, I found it was easier to take this subject in "small bites" rather than trying to put them all on one big page.

I know it's week 3, but just in case you'd like to grab this awesome template, for now, or later, here's the Dropbox link:

Here's my Divided Template so far, Weeks 1, 2 and 3.


I used Life Line Grief and Life Line Grief Word Art and Brushes by Lynn Anzelc Designs.

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. Remember, you have all month to complete any or all of this month's challenges. If you create a divided page, you will still receive one entry for each week that you complete.

Challenge Rules:

  1. You have until 11:59 p.m. ET on February 29, 2024 to complete your pages for this challenge.
  2. To qualify for the drawing, you need to use 80% Oscraps products that are currently in the store (non-Oscraps products or retired O designer products can be used whether the designer is selling elsewhere or not).
  3. You need to credit all the products used on your page.
  4. You cannot use a page you create for this challenge for another Oscraps challenge.
  5. Upload your page to the Art Journal Gallery and then add your layout to the challenge thread. (Below you will find instructions on adding your page to this thread.)
Adding a linked layout from the Gallery to a thread:
Upload your layout to the gallery first. In your forum post click the Gallery Embed icon (little camera).
This will open your gallery, simply click on the layout you require, then scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click the Continue button.
Your linked layout is now in your post, the image will appear once you have clicked the Post Reply button.

I can't wait to see your Week 3 creations!​

I am in awe of your AJ pages... so glad you are able to put some of those emotions in your layouts, Chris.

Here is my week 3 LO

Thank you SO much for your sweet words, Kay. It's really helped me to journal my feelings, as you have encouraged me to do. Your page is just magnificent. I love the beautiful woman and the coloring is so gorgeous. Thanks for playing along in my challenge.

And mine...I discovered me by relying on the Grace of God.
This is just beautiful, Susie. I love how you used the images and all of your journaling. I've been hearing the word "Grace" so much lately. You're cementing it by using it on your layout.
