Me, Right Now

 Over at Flying Unicorn one of this month's challenges is to create something with the title ME, Right Now.  Now scrapping about myself is not something I usually do but every once in a while I try to force myself to. I have books and books devoted to family members but as for me I'm sorely lacking. I use my scrapping to tell stories and keep memories, I have stories and memories to tell as well.

  Any way this was my layout

  I started with some The Scrap Cake patterned paper and added color with several stencils. I rubbed black ink through the little squares one and numbers.

 I added acrylic paint by Golden through the circles, and then outlined them with charcoal pencil smudging them all after. I then added more stamping using the gears stamp from Club Scrap and an Orange Pitt Pen by Faber Castell.

  More stamping using 7 Gypsies & Kaisercraft stamps with black ink.

  And as a finishing touch dripped the same acrylic paint I used in my circles down the paper.

 One of the requirements was you had to journal 5 things you were doing NOW. While I don't do many pages using my picture I journal even less about myself. I went with semi hidden journaling, cutting up squares of patterned paper, distressing them and tucking them partly behind my photo.

 While I do tend to shy away from scrapping myself I have to say I'm glad I jumped on this. It's a happy day.

Have a good one.
