It’s very rare that I get the opportunity to dress up in Indian clothes. It only happens once every couple of years when there’s a wedding in the family or some other special event. I think people are always surprised when they see me in traditional Indian attire since it happens so infrequently. Last summer, we went to Dhimant’s cousin’s wedding so I had the opportunity to dress up several days in a row for the various wedding events. While we were on the way to one of the events, I took a selfie to capture evidence of my outfit and thought it would be nice to scrapbook it too.
As soon as I saw Tracy Armstrong’s colorful layout in her Studio Calico Far Far Away gallery, I knew it was the perfect background to use for my selfie. I love how she used the various strips of patterned paper and the diamond shaped photo along with the wood veneer diamonds. So, I lifted her design, adapted it to a 12×12 background and added my photo. I also wanted to include a bit of journaling so I added that up one of the strips of paper. Thanks for the awesome inspiration, Tracy!
Beautiful page! LOVE the mix of papers!
Thank you, Kimberly! 🙂
