Welcome to our May Art Journaling Challenge - and our topic we will be delving into is the prompt RENEW.

I did a quick Google search for the word renew to get some ideas for this challenge. Guess what came up very often? Self-help books, many with the titles of How to Renew Yourself Body and Soul- in 30 Days! Or In Ten Simple Steps! However cheesy some of them seemed, the covers were often interesting and creative. I picked a few of them for us to use as inspiration for the challenge. You can use the color, the style, or the title of the books to get you started on your page. if you have another book in mind that's on the topic of renewal you can use that too. Whatever comes to mind is perfect!

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 RENEW.
Here is my page:

Adding a linked layout from the Gallery to a thread:

Awesome challenge and research, Chris. I love book titles and this is such a unique idea. I've been listening to some audio books on healing so I hope I can incorporate that into my layout.

LOVE your example layout, too.

Well, I started out being inspired by the black book cover. I guess I still kept with the spirit of that one. My only "hope" that I referred to the word RENEW, is the quote "This is only temporary". Well, I guess the other quote cloud, too. Great idea for a challenge, Chris, to be inspired by book covers.
