Hi everyone. It's September and time for a new challenge at Challenge YOUrself:
Challenge YOUrself #129 opened on September 7th and closes on October 4th:
This month's challenge is to create a project using lots of patterned paper. (And as always, to include at least one photo of YOU!)
Here is my mixed media scrapbook page that I created for this challenge:
I came across an old photo of my daughter, Anne, and me taken at my mom's house on Christmas Day, 2006! I just love this happy photo!! For the challenge, I used five different patterned papers, including my background paper, and they are all from Cocoa Vanilla Studio's Christmas papers, their "Merry & Bright" and "Joyful" collections. I had so much fun tearing and layering paper.
I hope you get a chance to check out Challenge YOUrself this month! We would love to see YOUR patterned paper projects.
This month is hosted by Aimeslee from Paper Paisleys Art Adventure. Her theme for September is “Anything Goes!”
She says: "This is my favorite theme of al times because it probably speaks to the eclectic, nonconformist in me!"
I love this theme, too!
I hope you get a chance to check out the Anything Goes entries from all of the talented artists that take part in AJJ challenges every month. And I would like to thank Aimeslee and Art Journal Journey for having this fun challenge.
And thank YOU so much for stopping by my blog today. Enjoy your September!
