I had done a lot of digital scrapping lately, so I really wanted to do the 5th challenge at
AllAboutMe ...with scissors, glue etc...just traditional scrapping! While I was working on my layout I realized again that traditional scrapping is so much more difficult. No mistakes allowed, no resizing, no deleting, no trying out....Ok, I'll be honest...the layout which I had in my head turned out completely different because I was too quick using my glue...
For this challenge you had to scrap something you can't live without. Of course, the answers that pop up first are my family and friends, fresh air, water, etc. But I choose to think a little bit further and I realized I couldn't live without my daily 'Me'-time...time to do what I want, time to be alone with my thoughts. Being just me, not a mom or a wife or whatever. I made a picture of the things I prefer to do in my Me-time and scrapped these...I didn't feel like scrapping another picture of me..sorry...
Nice detail: the sponsor of the challenges in November is Nikki Sivils, so I thought it would be fun to use some papers of Nikki Sivils Boo-tiful collection. I love the colors in this range!
Here is my layout:
I hope you like it!
