Shine Bright . . . for Challenge YOUrself and AJJ!

 Hi everyone!  It's the 7th of July and time for a new reveal at Challenge YOUrself:

 
This month's theme (CY#91) and is all about using shapes:

 
Here is my take:
As you can see, my shape is triangles!  I featured a photo of my daughter, Anne and me on her graduation day and included a favorite photo of her with her best friends - they've been friends since kindergarten.   The papers and stickers are from the PinkFresh "Bloom Street" collection, which I absolutely love. 

Here are some different views:



 

 I am also entering my layout into this month's theme at Art Journal Journey Monthly:

This month is about the  Summer Countryside and is hosted by Alison at Words and Pictures.  When making my layout, I thought that the photo of Anne and Me on her graduation day depicted the summer countryside.  I used shapes to illustrate hills and valleys, and the sun, birds, flowers, and butterfly stickers to represent summer.  Thank you, AJJ and Alison for hosting this amazing theme!  I always enjoy entering AJJ!!

I also hope you get a chance to check out Challenge YOUrself this month.  I had lots of fun using shapes on my page!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  Hugs!!!  Have a wonderful July everyone!

  8. I'm a HUGE fan of sewing paper to paper and also a BIG fan of your work, too, Sharon. Such a lovely entry and it simply screams summer in the country. All the little details you added are perfect. Nothing was overlooked. Thank you beyond belief for sharing this incredible scrapbook page with us at Art Journal Journey using Alison's theme. BTW, I can remember when your daughter was in grade school!!!
