my most significant layout EVAH. Many months ago, Rhonda posted a thread to me at the Dawg. It was a link to a layout on scrapbook.com. The layout was about the 12 Steps. It was done by a girl I didn't know, but I immediately contacted her via pm and told her what an inspiring layout it was, and I wanted her to know I was also a friend of bill's... and we struck up a beautiful friendship. Becky and I are in frequent contact, and I told her that I wanted to do my own layout about the Steps... but wasn't sure how to give her credit for the inspiration. I certainly didn't want to "OUT" her. LOL I'm so open and 'out there' with my sobriety, but that's ME... she responded back that she was just as open and said I could credit her any way I wanted to.
So Becky... thank you. Here is a link to her layout
click here- the inspiration for mine. And here's a link to her
blog - she's an incredibly talented artist.
And finally... here's mine. This was the most emotional layout I've ever done. I poured more love into this 12" x 12" stack of papers and embellishments than ever before.
Thank you for looking.
Look at all that yummy ephemera and distressing. The owl is way cool. Thanks for sharing this piece of yourself, makes me appreciate you even more. :)

ReplyDeleteSpeechless is the first word that comes to mind! You have always had amazing skills but I think you are correct on saying this was the most inspirational that I have seen from you yet. You have TRULY grown in every aspect of your work since I knew of you 8 years ago. (of course, I am saying in that non-existing British accent!) :)
