Are the Stars Out Tonight . . . for Challenge YOUrself and Art Journal Journey Monthly!

Hi everyone. It's April 7th and time for a new challenge at Challenge YOUrself!

 

April's theme is about the100th challenge!  And this month's requirement it to create a layout with stars. ⭑


I am so excited  and proud to be a part of Challenge YOUrself's 100th challenge! 
 
Here is my completed page:


I loved making this mixed media scrapbook page.  As soon as I saw this challenge, I knew that I wanted to make it about John's and my trip to Rhode Island this past summer!  I used Vicki Boutin's beautiful papers and embellishments to make my page.
 
Here are the pictures from our trip that I chose to scrap:



 
 
Sharing some different views of my project:



 
I hope you get a chance to check out Challenge YOUrself this month. If you head over to their blog, you can see all of the fun things happening for the 100th challenge!

I am also linking my project up to Art Journal Journey, Monthly.

This month's theme is "Play It Again Sam" and is hosted by the very talented Alison from Craftytrog.  Alison would like you to create a page based on your favorite movie or song this month.

My page is about stars and romance, and I used the lyrics from one of my favorite songs, 
I Only Have Eyes for You.  
I love the version that was recorded in 1959 by The Flamingos.  You can listen to it here.  It has since been re-recorderd by various artists like The Lettermen in 1966, Art Garfunkel in 1975 and most recently, Michael Buble in 2018.  It been featured in movies like A Bronx Tale, American Graffiti, Lady and the Tramp and most recently, Netflix's series The Crown.

Thank you so much, Alison, and AJJ Monthy for the inspiration!

And thank YOU for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you all have a wonderful April. HUGS!

    That's a great song and works perfect with your page Sharon. You did a great job incorporating the lyrics onto your page also. And looks like you had a nice trip to Newport. I haven't been there in many many years but it is a fun place. And did I mention I love your page Thanks for joining us for Alison's challenge at AJJ. hugs-Erika
