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

 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.




I am also linking my page up to Art Journal Journey's September challenge:


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!
