May Muse Challenge | Week 2

Week 2: Healing/Health/Wellness​

Welcome to week two of the the May Art Journal Muse. For the month of May, we are creating Positive Affirmation bookmarks plus a layout to go with it. Positive affirmations are simple, feel-good phrases you say to yourself to build confidence and stay positive. They help shift your mindset by replacing negative thoughts with more uplifting ones. When you use them regularly, they can boost your mood and help you feel more in control and motivated.

For week two, we are focusing on healing/health/wellness affirmations. This can be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. You decide where you focus needs to be most this week.

Here are a few affirmations for each focus area. You are free to use any of these or choose one of your own.

2. Each day, I feel a little stronger.
3. I give my body what it needs.

Rules for Week 2:

• Create at least one bookmark plus a layout to display the bookmarks. The focus for this week is Healing/Health/Wellness positive affirmations.
• Every bookmark(s) + layout you create is equal to one entry in the random draw. So if you create 1 bookmark + 1 layout you are entered once, if you create 2 bookmarks + 2 layouts you are entered 2 times - so you need to have at least one (1) bookmark on one layout - you can make more than one bookmark if you like and add them all to one layout but it will counted as one entry.
• You can create any style of page ie. clean and simple, artsy, pocket style etc,. Your page can be all digital or hybrid. Wherever the inspiration takes you as long as you include TLP products on your page.
• Please post your layout to the Art Journaling Gallery HERE prior to Midnight EST June 1st, 2025 and then post it in this thread by copying the code (at the right of your gallery image) from the box under "Share BB Code".

We will draw a winner at the beginning of next month for a coupon!! You can use any products in the Lilypad store or retired products from current Lilypad designers, (just make sure you follow our gallery guidelines).

Free Bookmark Templates:

Here are some bookmark templates that Ona created if you would like to download and use them.

Dropbox link is: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/13u31nkk9sqcxsfi4lboj/h?rlkey=de0rizu9xs6wfvd6lla86fd3c&dl=0​

The idea is to open the template save it straight away with a new name, hide the title layer and then turn on the layer visibility for the one (s) you want to work with. You can either just leave the other layers hidden or just delete them and save again.

I can't wait to see what y'all create.

 

Finally got my layout added.

 

I love all of y'all's pages and bookmarks!!

 

I want to thank everyone who joined the challenge. I love to see the pages of everyone who joins.
