Happy May!

Hi everyone!  I hope you are all having a wonderful month of May so far.  Mother's Day is right around the corner, and things with my mom seem to be stabilizing at the new unit she is in.  We are planning on taking her out for dinner this weekend to celebrate Mother's Day!  Thank you all once again for your wonderful words of encouragement.

Next, I have a couple of exciting things (three to be exact!) that I would like to share with
you today . . .

1.  First of all, it's time for new May challenge at Challenge YOUrself:

This challenge blog is all about creating pages using photos with YOU in the frame!  This month's theme is Life Goals.

Here is my completed page:

A close-up:

and a different view:

I used the Cocoa Vanilla Studio's Midnight collection and a photo that my daughter took of me on Mother's Day a few years ago!

2.  Secondly, I made another page about my life goals that I am entering into this month's Art Journal Journey challenge:

This month's hostess is Erika and her theme is "In the sky/In the Air."

Here is my page:

Once again, I used Cocoa Vanilla Studio's beautiful Midnight collection!  My life goals are typed on the paper doll next to the photo of me!  And I used a cloud and balloon to depict the sky above the little city I created.

Here is a close up:

And a different view:

Thanks AJJ for inspiring me to make this scrapbook page!  I LOVE your blog!
