Heres where we'll post all of the details to
SOUL
- our new challenge that will make you think even more than the last
Journal Block Challenge -
was created after the death from cancer of my friend Linda - 3 years ago.
It truly was a defining moment in my life, probably because her
children were the same age as mine.
Last year more of my friends decided to make a change
and I've seen them work tirelessly on this for
the past 12 months, and next week their "vision" finally becomes a reality
and SOHLNZ opens it's doors.
This challenge has come about as a mixture of both events
and will definately make you think a little more
and leave a mark......
Each challenge may be over the period of
1 week, 2 weeks or slighly longer depending on
the "complexity" of it..........
SOUL
You will need either an 8x8
or 8.5x11 album ready to start.
But to get started, you need the following:
An Album (or digital ability!)
Your most favourite photo of you at any age (can be a copy)
A photo of your most favourite feature of you
A close up photo of your eyes
It can be handwritten, computer journalled
you can complete this digitally if you wish,
the reason I've specified a size of album
is that the cardstock & papers can be printed directly onto -
YOU CAN WORK ON ANY SIZED ALBUM IF YOU
WISH TO WORK LARGER..
Keep Watching....
or keep an eye out on the gallery
HERE [so to speak......]
WEEK 1
Create your title page using the following items:
The word SOUL
The phrase - THE EYES ARE THE WINDOWS TO THE SOUL
and the photograph of your eye / eyes.
You can use any colours & any product or style.
You have 2 weeks
for the next part of the challange......
Still on the EYE theme,
over the next 2 weeks, you have to look around,
and list 5 things that for whatever reason
you have never really noticed before
- it could be because you've never had the time to notice,
or that you've never needed to notice
or never felt the need to look beyond the surface....
You can scrap them in any chosen style
Next part
With it being thanksgiving..
list 5 things about YOU that you are thankful for,
it could be anything
it could be a characteristic
or something physical
ANYTHING
but it has to be about YOU
And the next:
SOUL
Well this week, I have another awsome friend
Annie Jameson
(good solid name.....lol)
Who has written this amazing & thought provoking book!
It's a spiritual book
kind of like the book - Conversations With God
but not sooo much of it (YET)
- and YES - she even lets you download
the first chapter for free here:
The Light Of Chileoeveryone so far that has read it
has interpreted it in a different way
BUT
on page 9 of the first chapter it states
The Law of the Universe is that if you give out,
it will return to you multiplied...
Do one thing for somebody this week
- or just do something
and on one page of your layout
say what you have done, why, when and who for.
Then on the other side of the layout
leave it ready to write in what comes back to you..
This week -
comes from a quote from
Elanor Roosevelt -
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience
in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
What would be yours?
Ok - we're back into it again after a long break..
Another 2 week challenge
Take a photograph of your most favourite part of you
and journal why it's your favourite asset
and I mean REALLY JOURNAL
that's why you're being given 2 weeks to do it.......
Now for the hard bit....
and this is a two week challenge too
Take a photograph of your LEAST favourite part of you
and once again journal why
you may need longer for this one as it's harder than you think
but you have 2 weeks - from the whip cracker
