Joyful . . . for Art Journal Journey Monthly and Challenge YOUrself!

Hey everyone! Guess what? Challenge YOUrself has a brand-new challenge for us! It’s their second challenge of the year, and I couldn’t wait to dive in.

Challenge YOUrself #134 opened on February 7th and closes on March 4th:



This month’s challenge is all about HEARTS! Feel free to use as many or as few hearts as you like on your page, but remember to include at least one photo of YOU!

Here is the mixed media scrapbook page that I created:



This photo of John and me from our wedding day is my absolute favorite! Our photographer even leaned into our car and snapped this photo after we got in. I can still feel the joy and happiness I felt like it was yesterday. We’re celebrating our 35th anniversary on March 3rd!

For the challenge, I used paper and embellishments from 49 and Market. I also added hearts and buttons from the same collection. The black and white heart paper and striped paper are both from ArtStacks. The music notes are stamped on my page with black ink. ‘With every beat of my heart’ was a song that played at our wedding and we’ll always remember it!

I hope you’ll take a moment to explore Challenge YOUrself this month!  We'd be thrilled to see YOUR  projects.



I am also linking up my page to Art Journal Journey Monthly's challenge for February.


February is hosted by Vicki Parson from Stamped Smiles!  I was so happy to see that her theme is "MUSIC."   She says:  "You can add old sheet music, add a few musical notes, use some musical instruments, or even just use titles and/or lyrics from a song.  I hope you find the music in you and play along this month!"

I really enjoyed joining in on the fun at Art Journal Journey Monthly this month! Making my page brought back wonderful memories for me. Now I'm singing "With Every Beat of my Heart" by Taylor Dayne.  I  hope you get a chance to check out AJJ this month.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.  Have a wonderful February!
