There's only 4 days till Christmas.
Todays challenge is to create a layout about yourself that reveals something others might not know about you. I did a layout about how I would have loved to be a fashion designer and my love of costumes. Tell us something about yourself that we don't know. It might be your hopes and dreams, something funny, what you are scared of. Be creative.
A Who Wannabe
Here is the Journaling:
As a teenager, I wanted to be a fashion designer when I grew up. Both my grandmothers and my Mom sewed and taught me how when I was young. I’ve always loved the creative process—from the beginning ideas, to the playing and finally the evolution of the project into a finished creation—sometimes very different from the original vision. Victorian costumes with their rich textures of velvet, brocade, silks, laces and ribbons have always been my favorite until….…I saw ‘The Grinch that Stole Christmas’. I sat mesmerized drinking in every detail of the costumes—hair, clothing, shoes, accessories, makeup—everything. I couldn’t stop thinking about ‘Who’ costumes—fabric, details, shoes, hair. I tried for months to persuade my family to let me design costumes for us to be a ‘Who’ family that Halloween but no amount of persuasion could change their NO to a YES. It was then that ‘Bonnie Lou Who’ was born and the creative process began.
I used Scraptivity gelatin stamps for 'Who', MM chipboard stars and the fabric above the picture is what I used to line the hood of the cape I'm wearing in the picture.
I can't wait to see what you come up with.
