I Now Know...

This month of August at Scrap-It-Lah, the challenge is a reflective layout with the title "I Now Know..". It can be a serious or a funny layout, all up to you. Please go HERE to see the gorgeous layouts that the DTs came out with.

Here is mine:

I decided on an artsy layout with lots of paint (acrylic and crackle), embossing, stamping, inking and a flower I made with Tim Holtz's Alteration die.



That metal frame was a great find from my local haberdasher store and I picked it up for a song! Love it when that happens.



The original colour of the Making Memories chipboard alphas was pink from its Noteworthy collection (old.. old ones I found buried in my stash), and I inked them with Rusty Hinge and Black Soot distress inks.

This layout is very personal and it's about how I see myself grow with the birth of my daughter and what strength she has given me these last eight years.

So do come and join us in this challenge!
