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... *My : My New Life : Layout : *[credits in my gallery]
I used Rachel Etrog Designs Cute But Creepy collection. I documented my Halloween decor I have on the outside of my closet door.
And I always love the template challenge and this turned out to be perfect for some snapshots of my precious grandson from 2021 which I had not yet scrapped.
