Hi everyone. It's July 7th and time for a new challenge at Challenge YOUrself!
Challenge YOUrself #115 opened today:
This month's challenge is "My Happy Place." You can interpret the theme any way you like, for instance, it can be about a favorite place to travel, an area of your home that you love, etc. And as always, don't forget to include a photo with YOU in the frame!
Here is the page that I created for the challenge:
I started by using patterned paper from 49 and Market's Spectrum Sherbet collection. I added the matted photo of John and me taken at the beach in Atlantic City a few years ago. Next, I adhered the flying butterfly (and I LOVE when they show up in my happy place!!) from the tissue paper page of ArtStacks' Artsy Animals pack by Tamara Laporte:
The hearts, the leaves, the black dots are all embellishments that I have in my stash. My title was made using letters and words that I have on hand, too. I even added some stitching!
I hope you get a chance to check out Challenge YOUrself this month and play along with us!
I am also linking my page to Art Journal Journey Monthly's theme for July.
This month is hosted by Alison - her blog is Craftytrogs Arty Adventures. Alison's theme for July is "Come Fly With Me."
Alison says: "For this theme, you can use anything that flies. Birds, Insects, fairies, aircraft, hot air balloons, etc, can all be used on your pages. I hope you have fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing your beautiful art!"
I want to thank Alison and Art Journal Journey for July's wonderful challenge.
And thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!
