Hi everyone. It's September and time for a new challenge at Challenge YOUrself:
Challenge YOUrself #129 opened on September 7th and closes on October 4th:
This month's challenge is to create a project using lots of patterned paper. (And as always, to include at least one photo of YOU!)
Here is my mixed media scrapbook page that I created for this challenge:
I came across an old photo of my daughter, Anne, and me taken at my mom's house on Christmas Day, 2006! I just love this happy photo!! For the challenge, I used five different patterned papers, including my background paper, and they are all from Cocoa Vanilla Studio's Christmas papers, their "Merry & Bright" and "Joyful" collections. I had so much fun tearing and layering paper.
I hope you get a chance to check out Challenge YOUrself this month! We would love to see YOUR patterned paper projects.
I am also linking my page up to Art Journal Journey's September challenge:
This month is hosted by Aimeslee from Paper Paisleys Art Adventure. Her theme for September is “Anything Goes!”
She says: "This is my favorite theme of al times because it probably speaks to the eclectic, nonconformist in me!"
I love this theme, too!
I hope you get a chance to check out the Anything Goes entries from all of the talented artists that take part in AJJ challenges every month. And I would like to thank Aimeslee and Art Journal Journey for having this fun challenge.
And thank YOU so much for stopping by my blog today. Enjoy your September!
What a fun photos Sharon. I like your torn and layered paper too. It adds such great texture and reminds me of layering garland. Thanks for joining Aimeslee's challenge at AJJ. And happy September to you also. Hope you're having a great month so far. hugs-Erika

Great LO and a reminder that Christmas is not that far away. I do like the idea of the torn strips of paper to edge the page. Funnily enough I did a workshop yesterday which was "Festive September" and we did quick Christmas cards. I love making them but this year the postage is going up - again - and so I doubt I will send as many.
