For September, I am hosting the Full Moon challenge. Your goal for this challenge is to create an art journal page inspired by the Full Moon.
About the Full Moon
The full moon is the lunar phase when the Moon appears fully illuminated from Earth's perspective. This occurs when Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon. This means that the lunar hemisphere facing Earth—the near side—is completely sunlit and appears as an approximately circular disk. (Wikipedia)
In astrology, the full moon symbolizes completion and abundance. In other words, the intentions you might have set during the new moon usually come to fruition at this time. However, this might require you to release what’s no longer serving you so you can make room for these new manifestations. (From A-Z Animals)
Notes to keep in mind.
Remember, for the art journaling challenges you can create any style of page. You get to decide what art journaling means to you. It can be a traditionally artsy page, clean and simple, pocket style, junk journal or something else. That is up to you.
For this challenge there is one requirement. You need to have a circle on your page representing the moon and have it cover 1/4 - 1/2 of the finished page.
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.

Notes to keep in mind.
- Spiritually, the full moon symbolizes deep emotion, completion, and spiritual growth.
- Emotions can be extreme during the full moon, and full moon energy can manifest in different ways—you may feel creative, anxious, sensitive, or exhausted.
- When the moon is full, focus on celebrating what you've accomplished, feeling grateful for the good things in life, and letting go of things that don't serve you
