I Love Tags!...Whether On Their Own Or Incorporated Into A Layout...I Haven't Been Around Here Much In The Last 2 Months [Only Sporadic Challenges Done]...Between Other Work & My Health Issues...I Certainly Have Been Struggling!...Things Haven't Been The Best...Each Day Seems To Bring New Unwanted Health Issues!...And The Holidays Haven't Been The Best Either...Things Have Been Really Hard!...Either Way...I Created This Layout For Several Reasons That Are Very Personal To Me...That's Me In The Layout...She Brought A Smile To My Face...Something I Just Don't Do As Much As I Would Like To These Days...

I Wanted To Scrap Rachel's Last MM Challenges Of 2021...& I Wanted To Use Her New! December 2021 M3 Pieces...They Seem To Go Hand In Hand With The End Of The Year & This Being Rachel's Last Challenge Of 2021...But There's More...Recently My Dearest Friend Caught Me Off Guard & Did Something Totally From Her Heart Just For Me...To Cheer Me Up During My Toughest Times Throughout This Holiday Season...Her Thoughtfulness & Kindness Lifted My Spirits More Than I Could Ever Say...In Fact...It Inspired This Very Layout...Unexpected Kindness Has A Way Of Showing You That You Are Never Alone & That There Is Always Someone Thinking Of You Through The Good & Bad Times Too!...So This Layout Is A Tribute To Her [My Best Friend] & To Rachel's MM Challenge & The Last M3 For The Year 2021!...Thank You!!! My Dearest Friend!!!!!!!!!!! For Always Having My Back!!!...Listening & Being There For Me... ...

*Particulars Of This Challenge : It Is A Tag Challenge : Now I Have Incorporated The Tag In The Middle Of My Page...Upon Further Reflection...It May Be A Bit Hard To See But It Is There...I Put A Large Border Around The Bottom & The Right Side...However If It Isn't Visible Enough...I Understand...The Challenge Was More Personal & My Thoughts & Feelings Took Precedent...

*And I Did Use One Of Rachel's New Releases For December 2021 :

*Created My : Meant To Be Layout : Using : M3-December 2021-All Pieces By Rachel Jefferies



Update : Upon Further Assessment I Figured It Would be Better If I Extracted The Tag & Put It A Separate Layer So You Could See The Original Tag Better...I Had To Add A Couple Of Things & Move A Few Things & Erase Some Outside Stuff To Make It Look Cohesive On It's Own...But the BG Looked So Plain Without All The Other Stuff...So I Jazzed Up The BG With Some More Of Rachel's Goodies :

*Mixed Media Monthly-November 2018-Add-On-Bundle : Paperie : 03 & 05-Rachel Jefferies
*Silent Battles : Grief : Bundle : Inked Faces : 03-Rachel Jefferies

 

WOW! so gorgeous!! Love it! I love both layouts for different reasons!

 

Thanks for the Template. It is my first participation in the Mixed Media Challenge.
