Welcome to the fourth week of the October Art Journaling Challenges! This month's topic has been about taking a "risk," as well as working beyond our comfort zones. So far, my pages have reflected on the process of beginning a new, potentially risky journey. Dipping my toes in the waters, but in a more literary and visual way. The quotes I chose from each week's prompts describe how it feels to consider a new adventure, get mentally prepared, and then take those initial steps.
For this month's wrap-up, I have seen my planning all the way through to the end. I took the risk. And now- how do I feel?
As Yoda wisely said, "Do or do not, there is no try." It is the same here. If you took that risk, you did it! You succeeded! You broke out of your comfort zone, tried something new. You learned that if you can do it once, you can do it again!
Think back to a time you took a risk. It can be something you already scrapped this month or something completely different. Think about the steps you took. Did you close your eyes and jump in quickly? Did you think each step through, considering all the options before you made the leap? And most importantly, how did you feel after you did it? Whether or not the risk in itself was "successful," I hope you felt accomplished and successful.
Now it is time to scrap about that feeling.

And you can see my progression from start to finish here:
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.
Challenge Rules:
We look forward to seeing your art journaling pages!
