Saturday Special 1/29 – Be Selfish!
Yes. I said it. Be selfish. And by that I mean, focus on yourself. As scrappers, we spend a LOT of time documenting the lives of our family and friends. It’s not often that we get behind the camera much less that we scrap pages about ourselves. I’ve read quite a few encouragements to do that over the past couple of years, and really didn’t think I was including myself that much . . . but apparently I’ve gotten selfish because a fellow scrapper noticed that I have a lot of ALL ABOUT ME pages in my gallery.
My challenge to you this week is to take this special Saturday and grab a photo of yourself and document something about just you. If you don’t have a photo, grab your camera and take one. No excuses ~ you can crop that baby down until just your eye is showing, or blend it into the background if you don’t like the way it looks. But honestly, your face needs to be in your albums so everyone knows who the incredible person that crafted all the other layouts is! There’s no limitation on subject matter, although I’m highly encouraging you to include some journaling, even just a few lines.
Here are a few (of the apparently many) of my pages I scrapped all about me:
