International Scrap Yourself Challenge : I am woman.

Internationalchallenge_2


For the International Scrap Yourself Challenge I decided to go the art journaling route. It has been awhile since I had a chance to play in this book. Pulled it out and man it felt good. I like just sticking stuff down...and the layering. Makes me happy.


Most of you know that I totally advocate for scrapbooking about yourself. I think it is important. I think it is a way to take a look at yourself. Reflect. See who you have become. Figure out where in the heck you are headed. Or just to enjoy the company of yourself. If you have not done a page about yourself, stop reading this right now and go and do it. If you don't have a photo of yourself then get out your camera and take one of yourself. Take one of yourself in the mirror hiding behind the camera. Or stand in front of a window and hold the camera out in front of you and click away.


And then make something with that photo. Something that is you. Something that screams you...or maybe just whispers.


Now is the time.

    Ali-
    I am wondering how you get such fabulous images of your pages to post. Do you have a wide-format scanner? If you do, what kind? I always struggle with trying to take photos of or copy my pages for submission... your tips would be great!

    I have also squirred away a stack of those Starbucks brochures. I love that photo. I really like the "oh look/there's time" found words. Need to tattoo that on my hand or something.

    Cool stuff Ali. Were you inspired by the book Visual Chronicles for these pages and 'thoughts'? I see a lot of the sisters 'thinking' in your stuff lately. The whole 'I Am' approach. :)

    I'm loving it. OK girl, ya gotta hook me up with some of that 7Gypsies Gaffer Tape when you come back to Photo Express. I have searched high and low for that stuff and everyone is sold out. Love what you do and am breathing a little bit everyday to just let the art flow. Thanks Ali for being such an inspiration.
