mix media scrapbook page

hiya, hope this post find you all well!  today I had an itch to scrapbook and journal, but I only had time to do 1 not both, so that dilemma sparked a light bulb moment and I decided to combine them, and this is what happended.  

I saw a post on a blog about scrapbooking ourselves and challenged myself to do it I always scrapbook everything else in my life, kids, animals, places, and doing myself seemed really hard, it was a struggle and at one stage during the creation I was going to bin it and tear it up!  needless to say as it is being featured in this post you can see I kept at it!  the papers I used for layering under my photo are the indie chic designer paper from MME...I love how the colours matched my background, done by pure accident!  

I hope you have a great day wherever you are, xx
