Hold on to the Memories!

Hi everyone!  I hope you are all having a wonderful October so far.

Today I would like to share a layout that I made for the newest Challenge YOUrself challenge!  In case you don't know . . . Challenge YOUrself is all about challenging you to create scrapbook pages with YOU on your page.  They want you to get out from behind the camera and scrap some photos with YOU in them!!!  Sounds like fun, right?

This month's challenge is all about creating a page with your own background:

And here is  my take:

I used texture paste, a snowflake stencil, mists and paint splatters to make my background.  I had so much fun doing it, too!

For my photos, I used some that were taken with my cell phone on a trip to NYC this past summer.  My family saw the Broadway play 'Frozen" and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I used these photos:

and converted them to black and white:

leaving some of the blue from the "Frozen" sign in the photo for more interest.

Here are some close ups of my page:

I hope you get a chance to check out this month's Challenge YOUrself challenge.  

The prize this month is a fabulous one:

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!  Have a great October!!!
