create something beautiful

That was the requirement of Leah's last Biggie challenge over at My Scrapbook Nook. All she told us was to make layout that would be lovely for her to gaze upon. Nothing else. Totally open-ended and free for us to interpret however we wished.

I wasn't sure what I would scrap- a picture of a place that is beautiful to me, perhaps a wedding picture or a picture of the girls. I didn't think I would do a page about me, but think that in my scrapbooking it is also important for me to share a little about myself.

I have always been a little bit self-conscious of my looks, was teased about various things growing up and I don't always have the best esteem. My sweet husband, however, tells me I'm beautiful even on the days when I feel the worst, haven't had a shower, etc. What a sweet man. I am so grateful that I married him.

This is the page I created using the June kit from the Scarlet Lime.
