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

 Hi everyone! Challenge YOUrself has a new challenge for June: 

Here's Challenge YOUrself #138! It’s open from June 7th to July 4th at midnight.

This month's challenge is to pick things from the mood board that inspire you, then create a page using them.  Here's a closer look:

For this challenge, I created a 12 x 12 mixed media scrapbook page:

I used an Echo Park collection for my background and embellishments. I also added white corrugated paper and a “Thickers” title. The photo, of John and me standing in front of the Korean War Memorial, was taken during a trip to Washington DC on Mother’s Day weekend this year when we went to visit our daughter Katie.

I hope you to join in on the fun at Challenge YOUrself this month! We’d love to see your mood board projects.

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

This month is being hosted by Matilde from Craftowanie.

Her theme for June is "People."  She says "You can interpret my theme in many ways!  You can show a single person or a group of people on your page.  I am looking forward to seeing all of your projects!"

As you can see, the "people" on my page are me and my husband standing in front of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington DC.

I always enjoy joining in on the challenges at AJJ. It’s a great place to find inspiration and you won't want to miss out on creating a project for Matilde’s fun June theme. Plus, you’ll get to see amazing artwork created by incredible (and friendly!) artists from around the world!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. I hope you have a wonderful and creative  June!
