WOW! you must have been reading my mind…the layout I did today started as a tribute to a friend but ended up talking about my evolution as a nurse. The journaling is on the back of the layout….Title is A Nurse’s Nurse

Hi Elsie!!!
Here is my page titled A Strong Foundation. This part of my life is at a constant evolving process. I would like to think that I have come a ways in this.
http://theonedivinehand.blogspot.com/2008/01/happy-new-years.html
Thank you so much and I do hope that you had a FANTASTIC new years day!!!
Love Candice
I made this yesterday, it’s not exactly about evolving, more about a change in my health. A bit depressing. Then again I don’t think you should forget about the bad things when scrapping! I’m not posting this in my blog, I’ll be sending this in emails to my friends. xxx

Hi Elsie,
Happy new year
trying my luck here.
http://sitihanizah.blogspot.com/2008/01/howdoievolvein2007.html
I looooved doing this challenge. Normally I find it hard to scrapbook about ME, but I think it turned out okay. Here’s what the journaling says:
It really is ok to be me. Sometimes it can be really hard to show who you really are, because it makes you vulnerable and you could end up getting hurt. But I’ve learned it’s okay to be me. It makes me special…It makes me loved.
Hope you like it! Here’s the link: http://bp0.blogger.com/_Ep_NpdHgpVI/R3zDvA7yHDI/AAAAAAAAArg/jq2Q9bDMWb0/s1600-h/challengeElsie.JPG

Thanks for the inspiration, lady. I didn’t cut & paste nearly enough last year, so maybe this will start me on a more fruitful scrapping year this year.
Happy New Year!

Hey there Elsie!
Take a looksee here – I typed out the journaling…lots of color, Scenic Route chipboard, buttons and Basic Grey paper – I had so much fun using these products! I told myself I’d use the next thing I put my hands on which was the freebie bag from the last crop I attended (BG papers/die sheet) – lucky for me it worked out! Hope you like it! I think I learned a few things about myself too! Thanks for the challenge!
great challenge elsie! that was a great subject- something i really needed to think about.
here is my LO!

Hi Elsie – this is a recent LO that I have made that talks all about my search for the ‘perfect’ hairstyle for me – and shows LOTS of photos of me and my different hairstyles. I was going to scrap another LO for your challenge when I realised this one really showcases my biggest evolution over the last year – scrapping photos of myself – and ones where I am smiling – I have huge hangups about my teeth so this one is the one I am choosing to showcase my evolution over the past year – scrapping the ordinary photos of me – crooked teeth and all!
