Description
Hi Everyone...

*Popping in with yet another layout for the June Challenges...I have to admit,I am enjoying creating layouts again...and being inspired by my own life actually,as opposed to a layout with pictures that are more artistically driven...and not of me...but inspired by my own feelings...I still will enjoy creating those kind of layouts in the future,but for now...creating all about my own current life...is where I am at,I guess...I guess I never thought I would ever create so many layouts about little ole me!...It makes me smile & laugh...Maybe I consider it a bit self-indulgent...considering technically,all the layouts I have created in the last 2 years,have been technically,about Ray,my beloved husband,who passed away from terminal brain cancer...I mean it was about my own feelings about grief...but not like what I am creating right now...These layouts are so much more positive and concentrate more on my personal recovery process while moving forward...with hope for the future...

*For this Template Challenge...I turned the template to the right and this made the 3 picture frames cascade in a horizontal position...I guess...the layout is about me being open to positivity and happiness in my life again...Finally realizing...that it is OK to smile and try to be happy without all the guilt of grief holding me back from trying to achieve some kind of happiness for my future...and understanding that there was a time when I did not know I if I could have a future that did not include overwhelming unhappiness,grief and guilt...So,I am smiling here in these photos and being "open" to hoping that my future will find more positivity on the other side of all the grief,sadness and unhappiness that I have already been through...

Wow, this is a work of art! I love how you made the template your own. All the word and phrase strips repeated add such a nice touch and the photos are wonderful! Fantastic colours too. An all-around great page!

Another fabulous layout. Love all those word strips and the photos of you. So good to see you are open again to positivity and happiness in your life. I'm at the beginning of the grief walk from losing my husband on June 7 (after losing our oldest daughter in Jan of 2024). We each, in our own time, emerge as a new and different person facing the new reality of who we are (widows).

I love that your layouts are taking a more positive turn and that you are finding more happiness! Your use of the template is so creative and I am in awe of your wonderful use of all the word strips!
