Yesterday, I was feeling really bored, so me and my sister decided to play around with the camera, taking stupid photographs of each other. The photos that my sister took of herself didn't come out very well, but these silly ones of me did, so I decided to scrapbook them. I wanted to record how much more confident I have been feeling about my appearence recently, and the fact that I felt able to pose for these photos after all. Only a few months ago, I would have been so worried about the way that I looked that these photos would never have been taken.
I started playing around with a full 12 by 12 piece of cardstock, but I had no inspiration. So I did what I always do to get my mojo back - cut the page in half. I love working on a 6 by 12 piece of cardstock, and it also makes my supplies go a lot further....
I got half way through this layout before realising that, with some tweaking, it would fit the criteria for the march weekly challenge on UKS. So I added some brads here, another colour there, and ended up with a layout that I love!
Fab photos, and a lovely layout!
ReplyDeleteLovely layout and great photo's.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, so much better than formal ones, great layout!
ReplyDeleteGreat memory of a 'boring' day. This is a LO that will make you smile every time you look back on it. I have a friend who starts with a 12x12 and then as she begins to deveope her LO, chops it to 12x6 or any other size she feels works better.
ReplyDeletewow that is a funky layout, i love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat page - good for you to confidently scrap yourself. :)
ReplyDeletep.s: I scrap on my knee on an A3 cutting mat which is on a board!! :D
Fab. Love the idea of cutting the page in half..go you!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see your self-confidence grownig, Lydia and your scrapbooking skills! Careful with the face-pulling, though, remember what I always say - if the wind changes yuo'll stay that way! LOL!
