Hi everyone! It's April 7th and time to share my scrapbook page made for Challenge YOUrself!
But first, I would like to share a bit of positivity in these times . . .
The quote is from "The Rescuers" and was said by Rufus Wainright, the cat. This is one of my daughter, Katie's favorite quotes. And I just have to share this beautiful art journal spread that I found on Instagram:
I love Hiba's(@thesillyscribbler) artwork and her take on this wonderful quote. You can find her on Instagram here.
And without further ado, here is this month's Challenge YOUrself theme:
The challenge is about using a black and white photo on your page. I decided to scrap some photos that I took at my nieces high school graduation in 2018. Here is my page:
I used the color purple because it is one of my niece's favorites. The background paper and embellishments are made by Cocoa Vanilla Studio. The large chipboard circle is made by Blue Fern Studios. I loved creating this page in honor of my sweet niece, Sarah!!
Here are some close ups:
I am also linking my scrapbook page to this month's Art Journal Journey monthly challenge:
This month's challenge is hosted by Valerie and is "geometric shapes." As you can see, my shape is a big circle! It's been too long since I joined in on one of their challenges, and I can honestly say I really miss it. I love participating in these challenges because there is so much inspiration to be found there from artists all around the world! Thanks AJJ!!!
And thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. I also hope you get a chance to check out Challenge YOUrself this month.
Sending hugs and positive thoughts to everyone . . . keep the faith.
This is gorgeous! LOVING the photos, the colors and the flowers!! And LOVING that quote!!!!

Such a great idea to have the photos in black and white, and then you can use whatever colours you like - your circular theme is really effective and I love the little flower clusters. Thank-you for the bluebird quote - that one is new to me :).
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon - sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. Life's been busy! Luckily, I've been getting more creating time in though ;) This is fabulous - I love that you've got four beautiful photos onto a single page layout. Perfect!
