Oh the Hall of Fame

Okay so finally I have started my Hall of Fame entries. I know I have no real chances of even getting an honorable mention. I don't know why I started saying I was gonna do it. Probably for vain reasons, or some hope of some sort of recognition of sorts. But I got it. I started my HOF entries finally. For so long I have tried to emulate here and there some of my favorite scrappers as I try and find who I am as a scrapper. But yesterday I sat looking at my 3 layouts. They weren't graphic white space or clean lines, no curves, just my style. Slightly tilted, layered, inked maybe even a bit cluttered but mine. They feel like me. It's funny because 100 times I have heard people say they are doing the HOF to "push" them. And I know I have said it myself. It seemed like the right reason. And with the last layout that I did, I finally get that too. I spent hours tweaking that layout. Hours. It was the "life changing event" assignment. I found digiscrapping during the hardest time in my life. Since that day I have needed to do a layout about it. But in all honesty I probably never would. I'd put it off forever. So I sat looking at this layout that took 6 hours or more lol about the hardest time in my life and realize why I needed to challenge myself. I can't wait to work to start another layout.
