Use It All Challenge by ScrapChat Designs

Make Me Happy is the Use It All sampler for May at MyMemories. The mermaid and mermaid journal card were optional pieces in the challenge, and in my first blog post this month, I chose to include both of them.

For this layout, I decided to go in a completely different direction and create a page without the mermaid elements and without true mermaid-themed photos. These photos were taken in September 2023 when I flew to San Diego to meet up with my son and his family.

The soft pastel tones in the photos work beautifully against the bolder colors found in the papers and elements from the sampler. Once again, I used the busier patterned paper in smaller amounts to help balance the page while still adding movement, color, and visual interest.

Be sure to check out the MyMemories forum for details about the challenge and to download the mini sampler.

If you like the sampler, check out the Make Me Happy Collection.  It is only $5.00 for the month of May.

Let’s welcome Aimee Harrison as this week’s Featured Designer! Q&A With The Designer: Aimee Harrison 1. What is your biggest fear? I think my biggest fear is losing my ability to work. I have Narcolepsy with Cataplexy and it can be really difficult to stay awake long enough to get the work done that I need sometimes. Most times. I am afraid of what will happen if I lose the ability to stay awake long enough. 2. If you lived 500 years what would your profession be? I would be an artist. I think. I can't imagine doing anything else and being happy. I need to create. 3. If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be? It would be extremely simple. I need to work within my capacity. I imagine my perfect day to be a day in spring that is about 75 and sunny sitting under my beautiful starburst honeylocust tree. I would like to spend the entire afternoon out in the beautiful weather reading my favorite books and drinking my coffee or water. I would have my dog at my feet and Tyler working in the garden in front of me and the music of Bob Marley playing on the phone. I do this some days and it is the perfect day to me. Simple. 4. What is your favorite childhood memory? I have many. But one of them is playing on our newly built deck. I used to drape blankets over the railings and set up little tents with my best friend, Stephanie, and play house or barbies in there. There was something really lovely and innocent about it. 5. Do you collect anything? I don't exactly collect anything anymore but I used to collect a dinnerware collection from the sixties and I used to collection carnival glassware. I unfortunately have lost a lot of my stuff in moves and it guts me.
