Hi everyone.!
It's April 7th time for a new challenge at Challenge YOUrself!
Challenge YOUrself #112:
Challenge
YOUrself #112 opened today, April 7th, and closes on May 4th. This
month's challenge is to create a "Then and Now" page. Find a throwback photo (or photos) with you and compare it to a recent photo, then scrap about it!
Here is the page that I made for the challenge:
I wanted to recycle everything on my page, so I started off by using a piece of white watercolor paper that I had from an old tablet. I cut it to 12 x 12 size. Next I printed out the 2nd photo of me, my cousin, & my sister from 2022 using old photo paper that I had on hand. The 1st photo, already printed, was taken in 1960 and was in my mom's photo album. Again, it's of me, my sister, & my cousin. (We have remained good friends for all of these years!) The torn pink paper is from a pack of construction paper that my mom gave to me when she retired from teaching. The torn heart paper is from a Pink Paislee collection that I had from a few years ago. Everything else was taken from my stash, including the paint splats. I really enjoyed making this page!!
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 the April Art Journal Journey Monthly theme!!
April is hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth; their blog is Altered Book Lover and they are focusing on ways to save the planet in their journal pages by Recycling, reusing, and repurposing this month.
Elizabeth says: "Recycle a portion of that beloved birthday or Christmas card, reuse
those patterned security envelopes, repurpose those cardboard boxes
Amazon is so famous for, or those 512 used tea bags you’ve been
hoarding. Turn them into collage fodder for your art journals. While
you’re at it, let us know what you recycled in your entry, so we can
applaud you, too."
How awesome it this? Thanks so much, Bluebeard and Elizabeth, and Art Journal Journey for your wonderful inspiration!
And thank YOU for stopping by my blog today!
