This layout was done for Danielle's challenge for January 9th. Our challenge was to scrap a photo of ourselves, and write about something we would like to change about ourselves on the inside. Going on a diet does not count!! It was difficult to think of things inside myself that need changing, although there are so, so many of them!! I tried to phrase them as positively as I could. This was the only photo I had of myself recently that was any good, and I'm not sure it really captures the feeling of the layout, but it will have to do.
I made the background page months ago using collaged dictionary pages to a piece of a priority mailer, and a technique for a peeled paint look. Then I really distressed the cardboard in places, and exposed the corrugated cardboard. I think it's really cool. After putting it all together, I realized it worked perfectly, because it reflects my busy mind and old ideas!
