Smile!

Good Morning everyone!

Today I would like to share a layout I made for the newest Challenge YOUrself challenge.  You may ask:  What is Challenge YOUrself?  If you don't already know, it's a challenge blog that asks you to make pages with YOU in the photos!!!

This month's challenge is all about using negative space:


I enjoy using negative space on my pages, but I know that for some scrappers, it's a real challenge.  I hope you all get to play along with us this month!

Here is my page:

With a close up:

This is a favorite photo of mine of the 3 of us.  My twin sister, Karen, took it at the Women's 5K Classic that we attend every year!!  Karen and I were celebrating a milestone birthday last year, too, which made it even more special.

Here are some different views:



One of my favorite aspects about making this layout was using the ballone punch and stamps.  I got the cute balloon punch and stamps at a Stampin Up crop that I attended last year with one of my dear friends!


I hope you get to check out the Challenge YOUrself blog and participate in our challenge this month!  We all would love that!

I am also entering my page into the Art Journal Journey challenge this month which is "Out and About:"


This monthly challenge is absolutely amazing.  Just check out some or all of the entries from all over the world, if you want to get some awesome artistic inspiration!!! 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.  Hugs!
