Thanks for the challenge!

 

Here is my page. I used some older photos of my daughter way back in 1986 which I had never used on a digital page before. I do like the cutout template I used.... credits in the gallery.

 

Mine has symmetrical sequins, painted flower and tag cluster

 

I Personally Am A Big! Fan Of Symmetry!...It's Not Hard To See That I Employ A Lot Of It In My Layouts!...Even If It Is A Bit Askew At Times!...

*STOP HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ MY VERY REAL & PERSONAL STORY***

This Layout Is A Very ***PERSONAL*** One For Me...It Is All About Reflection,Loss & Mental Health...This Theme Has Been Big In The News Lately...It Was Mental Health Month Here Recently...So I Took The Opportunity To Scrap This Very ***REAL*** & ***PAINFUL*** Reality! For Me...It Has Been Quite A Few Years Now Since My Mom Has Passed...But I Think Of Her Everyday!...I Was Severely Depressed When She Died...& Struggled Beyond! Anything I Could Have Ever Imagined!...It Took Me Almost A Year & A Half!...Before I Could Even Mention Her Name In A Sentence Without Bursting Into Tears!!!...I Practically Cried Every Day!...I Would Go To Work...Hold It In!...& Then Burst Into Tears After Arriving Home!...It Took So Long To Accept She Was Gone!!!...And That There Was Nothing I Could Have Done To Change How She Died!...But With Time!...Support! & Reflection!...I Was Finally Able To Accept Her Death!...& Know That She Would Want Me To Try To Get On With My Life!...She Was Always There For Me!...& She Was A Strong! & Determined! Woman!...Who Believed! In Strength! & Positivity!...I Feel That I Learned That From Her! & So Much More!!!...I Will Carry Her In My Heart! & Soul Forever!!!...I LOVE! You So Very Much MOM!!! Always!!!......

I use symmetry a lot, but when I have to, somehow it became difficult! LOL

 

Having so much fun, I might have overdone it!

 

Thank you for the inspiration!
