The ABC's of Me - Scrapbook Circle Challenge #58
Just popping in to share a layout I made for Scrapbook Circle's Getting to Know You Challenge.
For this challenge you are supposed to create a layout about yourself. I don't normally scrapbook myself, and I also don't tend to have a lot of photos of myself as I'm usually the one holding the camera. So, I opted to go for a photo free layout.
This was a lot of fun to create. Each of the little squares is 2" x 2", and I got to use lots of stuff from my stash.
Coming up with all the different words was a little harder than I thought. Had to stretch on some of them. I tried to use both good and bad characteristics, and there are some contradictions too - for example I have both introverted and (e)Xtroverted on the layout. I would normally classify myself as an extroverted introvert. I'm extroverted once I get to know you, but until then, I'm introverted.
Since I used so many different thickers on the layout itself, I thought I would create my own lettering for the title. Looking at the layout when complete, it kind of reminds me of a calendar. I'm not going to list the supplies on this since it's just a ton of little piece of paper and thickers.
Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks for coming by!

ReplyDeleteCute page! You need to get in the pictures! I too was always the one taking the pictures and as a result, was hardly ever in the pictures with my kids. They have grown up. Now, I make sure to ask someone to take a couple of pics with me in them :)
ReplyDeleteWow. You did awesome with this. This would be super hard for me. Love how you designed it and the idea. I am the same. Until I know you, I am introvert.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, Miriam! Love the design! I'm an extrovert all the way. LOL!
