On your next layout: scrapbook the last self portraits you took. Journal about the memories, or reasons behind that moment. Why did you decide to grab the camera and snap those photos?
It's always nice to do a layout just about yourself. It seems you can let your creative "rules" fall by the wayside, and scrap on a "I want this there and I don't have to answer to anyone" kind of whim. I never would have used these tree, fox and foxy stamps on a layout otherwise. When I started to lay out my page, I had them laid out too. I didn't give it a second thought, and started stamping. I wanted to do the trunk and leaves different colours, so I masked off the areas with tape. When the trunk was stamped, I thought about what colour I wanted the leaves; I have a few different green inks. I then thought to use the three of them all together. After I stamped the one colour, I re-inked and tilted the stamp a little bit one way, and then the other. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out!
I have seen so much layering happening on layouts recently. it's always been kind of an issue for me to do this; I'm really particular about everthing being where it can be seen, and I like things evenly spaced. I'm trying to work on this, and thought I could give it a bit of a try on the page too.
Journalling says: the face of a happy girl who just found out where we're going on our honeymoon. It's the same reason I've gotten jewellery on December 2nd for 3 years: Justin can't contain his excitement. He was going to plan + book our honeymoon in secrecy. He told me where we're going an hour after booking!Don't forget to leave a comment with a link to your layout using the challenge. Step outside of your boundaries on this one; live a little and play!
