Yay for Summertime Memories!

Good Morning fellow scrappers.  TGIF!  I am enjoying some scrappy time this morning because of the thunder storms, of all things!  My daughter's cross country coach cancelled practice due to severe storms, so I decided to do a little scrapping.

Today I got my inspiration from The Memory Nest:


Here is this week's sketch challenge:

 

I am also linking my project to this month's Art Journal Journey challenge:


The July challenge is hosted by Elizabeth and her theme is Summertime Love.

Here is my take:



I used a photo of Anne and me taken this past summer (2016) when we walked along the beach in Atlantic City. (We were so pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the beach and boardwalk are there.)  


I used some yellow, orange, and pink shimmery spritzes, a star-burst stencil, and the rim of a plastic cup with black ink to create my background.  I had some cute, summer embellishments from a Close-To-My-Heart collection and Crate Paper chipboard that I had in my stash

Here is a close up and different angle:


I truly enjoyed making this page.  Thank you Elizabeth at AJJ; and Leslie at the Memory Nest for providing me the inspiration to make my summer layout.

Happy summer creating everyone!  Thanks so much for visiting my blog.

  3. I really LOVE this, Sharon. It seems like every time I come here I think I should be visiting far more often, because you always have the most incredible layouts. If I made scrapbook pages, I would want them to be just like yours.

    I love the pinks and yellows you incorporated on your page, but the sewing set the photo apart and made it simply special. Thanks for joining us at Art Journal Journey today, Sharon. It's always a treat to visit you.
