Welcome to our wrap-up for this month's AJ Theme: Savor.
I have truly enjoyed all of the prompts, pages, and heartfelt creativity that you’ve shared over the past three weeks.
This time of year, I find it very difficult to slow down and savor life. The pace picks up, responsibilities pull at us from every direction, and before we know it, our days blur together. But these are the moments to pause, take deep breaths, and appreciate all that you feel and experience. The pull of daily life can be overwhelming so we are going to go slow and gentle for this week's final challenge.
I would like you to look at each of your pages for a count of ten. Look at them closely and breathe. You can start with week one and then move forward to the next two pages. As you look at each LO, focus on some detail that speaks to you the most, something that resonates deep inside. It might be a photo, a color, a font, the word art, or maybe the entire piece of artwork.
The purpose of this is to train yourself to appreciate your art, to look at it with a loving and attentive eye. Only focus on what makes you feel happy. Any negative self-talk is not allowed.
I suggest you look at each page for around 10 seconds but feel free to enjoy your work for as long as you like.
When you have finished the exercise, bring those positive feelings as you scrap your final page. If you can incorporate some of the mindfulness and emotions into this last page, that would be amazing!
If you didn't do all three weeks' challenges, that's ok. Choose another of your scrap pages to savor and bring that joy to your new work of art.
I can’t wait to see what you create for our final week!
You can choose to do a single page, double page, tag, TN each week, or use 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 use the template, we would love it if you post incrementally: post one done in the first week, post an image of the two together on the second, and so on until the finished page in the fourth week.
Again—the template is NEVER a requirement, just something fun and different if you want to use it.
