Its Monday and I was finally able to get some scrapping time over the weekend. This layout is based on palette 79 at the The Color Room...I also used the awesome sketch that they had. It didn't turn out quite how I expected it to but I still like it. This is my niece Tiffany. She and her sister were in the last color room challenge I participated in...her colorful personality must inspire me in their challenges, I guess!
Here is the palette and sketch:
Tiffany is an amazing girl! Beautiful, full of personality, and comfortable in her own skin. Plus, she is a strong Christian and leader in her church and that is rare in a girl so young. Unfortunately, because of her unique individuality she has to deal with "PK" syndrome (pastors kid syndrome...its a diagnoses I have made up! lol). Anyway, she's not a pastors kid but is kind of treated like one at times because she feels like she is constantly under a microscope. Anytime she makes even the smallest mistake she instantly feels the rebuke from several different directions. Its done by well meaning adults outside her family dynamic, but sometimes she feels the weight of the pressure so heavily that she wants to rebel in a way uncharacteristic of her true self, just so she can be taken off the pedestal that they have her on. This layout is to remind her to always remember who she is in Christ, because His opinions the only opinion she needs to be concerned with!
Last week I received a box of delicious goodies from ScrapFx to play around with. It felt like Christmas because I love chippies and these are just gorgeous! Sturdy too...I tried painting, inking, embossing...everything I could do to get a close match to the tan paper I used. They are nice and thick so even if you mess up you can remove a layer and still have it totally intact so that you can start all over again! Chippies are my favorite scrapbooking embellishment and these are definitely top notch!
The "remember" chippie is from the (remember wordlet theme pack) I painted a dry layer of gesso on it then inked it with TH vintage photo distress ink...then used hologram distress embossing powder.
The crown and Pointer finger are also awesome Chippies that I received from ScrapFX...I added the purple heart gem and embossed it with the hologram distress embossing powder as well to glam it up!

Hi Misty! I haven't been by in awhile due to the crazy chaos associated with going back to a full-time work schedule...and I'm loving what I see! This layout is so gorgeous, with texture so inviting that it makes me want to reach out and touch the screen!:-) I love the patchwork fabric and the way you tied it all together (literally!) with the string! Shabby chic is my favorite style, and this is a lovely example!
