Challenge G of VSBN was inspired by the reality TV shows Extreme Makeover. We were to scrap a LO that shows a makeover or change in our life. We could use the sketch provide if we wanted but we had to stamp on the page somewhere. While most people's LO will probably show a positive change, mine is showing a negative change. I am starting an album to document my journey towards health. I am hoping this will keep me motivated to do what I know I can do. The oval picture shows me in 2001 when I had lost all the "baby" weight from my 2nd child. The other picture is 2007 but is still pretty accurate for today.
The papers and embellies are from a SS kit I received. I made the leaves with ribbon and stamped the title.

What a brave thing to scrap. It is a good reminder and motivator. I like that you used bright colour to make it a positive, encouraging page. Well done.

Great subject to scrap...I know the feeling. I've gained almost 30 lbs the last 10 years. It just sort of creeps up on you unawares. I love the ribbon leaves that you made and the colors you used for this. Good Luck!
What a great album idea! Good Luck on your journey to a healthier you! Motivation is something that comes and goes for me so anything you can do to keep yourself motivated is an inspiration.
