Once Upon A Sketch, the challenge for Jan 2012 was to review the year 2011 or look forward to 2012 and record your thoughts using Nadia‘s sketch. My LO is called Believe in 2012 because that’s what I want to do, believe I can achieve!
This photo of myself was taken in August last year, to use on my blog and is the only close up I’ve shown in the last few years as I’ve hated seeing myself. Some of my journaling is hidden, tucked behind the tag above my photos, to the left of the photo. It explains that my life was not very enjoyable until I took up writing my blog and entering challenges. I now believe that I deserve to enjoy something in life and I’ve begun to believe I can achieve results which I am proud of; not always but I’m getting there.
The little wooden frame held mini coat hangers, which I inked with THDistress ink in Denim blue and mahogany and cut my photo up to sit in the compartments. That’s how I see myself usually, distorted and not very pretty. .
I made the little flags by curling half a cocktail stick around the pre glued paper flag. Again I inked the edges
with the inks.
Hope you like it and thank you for any sweet comments you leave me.
