What do you get when you combine the title phrase as seen (I think) on a stamp belonging to The Fabulous One, an accidental photo taken while trying to get a self-portrait in the mirror, a print of the same impulsively ordered as an enlargement, some scraps of Echo Park For The Record papers left over from a Gotta Craft kit, a snatched 30 minutes or so while you should really have been doing something else, and a sketch from Shimelle which just happens to use a large photo?
Well, I don't know what you might get, but I got this:
(Ack! Rubbishy 'natural' light.... I want my summer back!!)
(Can see those purty stickers better here!)
While stocking up on supplies for my papercrafts class earlier (and accidentally buying a few things for myself, ahem...) a couple of customers were talking about how they never tend to scrap themselves. I've realised that actually I don't have a problem with this - many of my layouts are actually telling my story, even if often there isn't a clear photo of me in them!! How about you? Do you appear in your own albums? Please tell me that you do... xx

Oh, yes I do - and you do too!! (in my album I mean). I loved those Echo Park stickers. That was a great kit - stretching out the end of it with a giant photo is an inspired idea
I'd say I appear similarly to you - pretty much all my pages are from my perspective ... great page Mel!
i have scrapbooked several photos of myself now, not as many as of others but i am improving. hope to have some nice ones from this sunday,
jo xxxx
oh forgot to mention how lovely this LO is, sorry,
jo xxx
My pages tell my story, but I also make sure I have some pages with me or about me. Wonderful Page!
love the layout - great use of a large photo with space for a big title
I have plenty of layouts about myself
Love the large photo on your layout and also love the Echo Park stickers. As you know I don't scrap as much as I should and I can't honestly say I've got many layouts with me in them (though any journalling is from my point of view). I must remedy that sometime ;) xx
I don't often do pages of myself now - somehow the reality of the photo just doesn't match what's in my head! Happy to do pages with older photos so pehaps in 10 years time I can do "now" IYKWIM!
Love the SP page btw - far better than doing something else!
super super idea for a layout I love it.
I love this layout, Mel, and I do love the fact that you document yourself so well. I suppose I don't document myself quite enough, but you inspire me to do just that.
What a fabulous layout Mel!
I have to make a special effort to scrap yself. In fact I have a separate 'Me' album. But why? Aren't I part of our family story? This is a fab version of Shimelle's sketch
Great layout,Mel....though I rarely document myself....and I do know that I should.
Fabulous lo Mel. Love the large photo. Yes I do scrap myself but usually in family photos but the majority of my journaling is from my point of view.
Love the big photo! And yes, I do appear in my scrapbooks. It's my husband I have to make sure not to neglect. He's usually taking the photos, so I have to take pictures of him taking pictures!
Love the layout. Since bloggin, I have realsied that I rarely appear in any photos let alone my albums. This is something I am now trying to rectify!
It's one of the reasons I joined up over at Scrapbooking from the Inside Out... I wanted pages from inside my head/my thougths/my emotions and generally speaking, "me-centric" rather than always about the events and people in my life. I've not gotten adept at it yet, but being at SFTIO helps!
Whoops... I meant to also day that I love that layout... and the awesome "blooper" photo which really isn't a blooper, but instead, a simply fabulous perspective shot!
That is a great layout. I hardly appear on any of my pages because I always seem to be the wrong side of the camera, does it make me sad....yes it does
I am my own favourite subject. Plus I have the singular advantage of being the world's foremost expert.
Also, y'know, no kids :D
Maybe I should start a book of other people?
I so adore this layout .... Stunning!
Great page.
Most of my LOs seem to be me at the moment but probably because all the photos I really want to scrap are still on a little piece of green plastic (hopefully) waiting to be rescued! (from my old computer that died and I had stupidly not backed up the photos......lesson learnt!)
I LOVE this layout and I love the title of the page even more! I think I might have to make a similar page!!
Yep, I do - I love this layout Mel.
Just catching up pn your posts x
This is a great LO Mel. I don't appear much on anything I do! I have been catching up with you this evening, project 365 is going great, I hope we get to see your project as a whole, I wonder what you'll do, have you a plan?
What a great layout! And, oh yes, I totally appear often in our scrapbooks.
Oh fantastic! :)
I love how randomness can lead to wonderful creativity.
:)
Great layout! Those remind me of some seven gypsy stickers which love.

Cool shot - and yep I definitely do. I teach scrapbooking your life/journey and live that as well. My album isn't the fullest, but then I've done mini albums too.
Just jealous of the 'shopping for supplies' in a STORE :sigh:
