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

Hi everyone. It's time for a new challenge at Challenge YOUrself!

 

This month's theme is about using a romantic color palette:

 

I just love this beautiful color scheme.  Here is my completed page:

I had "so much fun" making this scrapbook page.  I knew that I wanted to make it about the trip I took to Pittsburgh with my sister, her husband and a group of very good friends.  We saw the Rolling Stones in concert which was EPIC!!!  

 

Here is the picture that I chose to use:

 

And sharing some different views of my project:

I hope you get a chance to check out Challenge YOUrself this month. If you head over to their blog, you can see all of the design team inspiration!

I am also linking my project up to Art Journal Journey, Monthly.

This month, AJJ has 2 hosts:  Bleubeard and Elizabeth.  You can find them at Altered Book Lover.  Elizabeth explains that Bleubeard is the beautiful face and support behind their blog while she supplies the art work!  This month they are asking What's Your Style?

Elizabeth said the following:  "You may have your own specific style, where you rely heavily on abstracts, architecture, travel, drips and splatters, nature, stamping, stencils, watercolor paints and pencils, words, or backgrounds. . . . . .  Regardless, Bleubeard and I want you to share your own style or styles this month.  We are looking forward to seeing what you conjure up."

As I said before, I don't think I have a specific style per-say.  But it's eclectic, so today I am sharing my eclectic scrapbook page!!  

I can't thank you enough, Bleubeard and Elizabeth, and AJJ Monthy!

And thank YOU for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you all have a wonderful February. HUGS!

Love is . . . for More Than Words!

Hi everyone! It's February and time for some new challenges.

The first is the February Main Challenge at  More Than Words which opened today:

Just to let you know, More Than Words is a monthly art journal challenge site that contains a word inspiration and a creative challenge.

Here is February's Main Challenge:

 

The word inspiration for February is FLORALS and the creative challenge is STENCILS. 

 

Here is my finished art journal page:

 

I truly love flowers!  I love to give and receive them at any time, not just on special occasions.  That's why the word FLORALS made me think of this John Lennon quote, which is one of my favorites!  I used different STENCILS from my stash to make my painted stamped, and fussy cut flowers, and my water-colored background.

Here are some different views:

I hope that you get a chance to check out the Main Challenge at More Than Words his month.  I must say, I have been enjoying getting out of my comfort zone and making these art journal pages for More Than Words! 

I am also linking my page to the February theme Art Journal Journey, Monthly.

This month, AJJ has 2 hosts:  Bleubeard and Elizabeth.  You can find them at Altered Book Lover.  Elizabeth explains that Bleubeard is the beautiful face and support behind their blog while she supplies the art!  This month they are asking What's Your Style?

Elizabeth said the following:  "You may have your own specific style, where you rely heavily on abstracts, architecture, travel, drips and splatters, nature, stamping, stencils, watercolor paints and pencils, words, or backgrounds.  Remember that digital art and sewing on your pages or fabric are always welcome.  However, maybe you're like me and don't have a specific style.  You might even have a different style for every day of the month.  Regardless, Bleubeard and I want you to share your own style or styles this month.  We are looking forward to seeing what you conjure up."

I don't think I have a specific style per-say.  But I do believe that it's eclectic.  Therefore, today I am sharing my eclectic art journal page about flowers stencils!!  

I can't thank you enough, Bleubeard and Elizabeth, and AJJ Monthy!

And thank YOU for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you all have a wonderful February. HUGS to one and all!
