Welcome to May's MOnthly Muse **Saturday's is the Goal for New Challenges this month** We begin at the beginning-The first day of School and we are going to start with our name. This is up to you, use your screen name, real name, nick name, but lets RE LEARN to Write with a MUSE Muse: verb: to reflect deeply on something noun: the source of artistic inspiration Inspiration: Here is my page: You may create any style of layout (ie. clean and simple, artsy, pocket style etc.) you wish, with or without photos. Create any size page you wish. This is for everyone, so have fun and see where the inspiration takes you. If you want all 3 Muses ( 1 for each week this month) on one page that's perfectly ok or you can make 3 separate pages!! It's totally up to you! Sorry only 3 this month due to insane NSD weekend fun! **Stay tuned next Saturday for the next challenge to May's Monthly Muse** Please post your layout to the Art Journaling Gallery HERE prior to May 31, 2019 and then post it in this thread by copying the code (at the right of your gallery image) from the box under "Share BB Code". We will draw a winner at the beginning of next month for a coupon!! You can use any products in The Lilypad store or retired products from current Lilypad designers, (just make sure you follow our gallery guidelines).
OH, THANK YOU for this challenge. I just LOVE to play with all the art journal supplies in my TLP stash, but since I usually scrapbook pretty plain/simple, I don't do it much. I just NEEDED this playtime tonight. Totally trashed the first attempt...NOTHING worked. But I finally got on a roll, and love the page. I'm even going to print it. https://the-lilypad.com/forum/galleries/05-19_wk1_name.395057/
Like Cheryl, I had a hard time with this page. But it is what it is. On a positive note, I had totally forgotten that I had a group photo of my kindergarten class. So you see it here in all of its glory (not). LOL.
You just made me giggle. I said the same thing about mine "it is what it is". BTW - your page doesn't look like you had a hard time with it. I just shrugged my shoulders and posted mine. Ugh
Since I've lost so many photos, I had to dig to find just a few precious ones of my childhood. Thankfully I photographed my Mom's album in December. Since one of the first things a child learns is their name, I thought I would go with that...
My mind went to all of the things I remember from school, that students now would not recognize... 'old school' stuff. It revolved around both elementary and Jr. High/High School. My given name is Suzanne but in Jr. High I abbreviated it to Sue... thus my 7th grade school pic.
