This page was inspired by the awesome self-portrait and then encouraged by the fantastic Amy Butler fabric that I found!
Please notice the 14 messy rhinestones (purple, my favourite colour) for the 14 years of marriage. There are four knots in the multi-coloured, slightly frayed fabric, representing our four kids... the frays in my day, but the knots that I hung on to as in "when you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on". The black Thickers element (to the left of the pic reminded me of an arrow, which makes me think of God's faithfulness and GRACE poured out for me in 2008. I've added fuschia microbeads inside the "ME!", and the green scalloped circle (Nesties in Cuttlebug) is the fabric that inspired the process! I've added lots of sanding and random, unplanned tears in the paper because that's the kind of year it was. The title starts in black with "Happily going back to" in my handwriting under the white-ish BEING (for a fresh slate, new year) ME! (in sparkles, cause I'm feeling all happy and ready to move forward!).
Hooray!
