A New First

Now this is a new first for me. On a whim, I decided to enter a contest on Pen Scrappers! This is the site sponsored by Wacom's Bamboo products. I have a Bamboo tablet and LOVE it! Unfortunately, it's still in storage from my move, but I've been wanting it badly. Time to dig through the boxes to find my beloved digiscrap tool. 


I just happened upon the contest, and after reading the criteria, it was a great challenge for the work I'm doing right now. The contest is Journal Your Life Authentically. My layouts are always with my heart on my sleeve, but I've mostly scrapped about my loved ones - not myself. It was a reminder to myself of self-care. My work has been on self-awareness and changing the views of I had of myself and my life, so it seemed perfect for me to enter. 


Please take a look and vote for me if you like it. It is truly me living life authentically, out in the open for all to see. Transparency beats putting up walls around yourself. Letting others in is not only healthy, but it deepens the relationships you have. There is more give and take that way. No smoke and mirrors in my life. WYSIWIG- What You See Is What You Get. Me.
