Strong

 
 
It's not very often I do a page about myself, or use pink! Or even use flowers or bling anymore! This layout definitely took me out of my normal comfort zone, but I absolutely love how it turned out! I started by pulling a few pink papers that I had from Echo Park (and believe me, there is very little pink in my stash!). I really liked the butterfly paper, so I pulled the aqua and yellow papers to compliment the pink. Then, not knowing what direction I wanted to go, I pulled a few pictures of myself that I already had printed. Then I remembered a quote I saw on facebook that I really wanted to scrap... "You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." And everything else came together...
 
I made this layout for the following challenges:
