AAM#3: PIGEON-HOLED?

AAM#3 is up! The challenge prompt is this:

Do you ever feel as though you've been pigeon-holed? Categorised? Labelled? Misunderstood? As though you've changed, but no-one else sees it? Who does everyone think you are? Who do you really think you are? Are they the same?

Here's my take:


Journaling: At times, I'm guilty of imprisoning myself and my capabilities. Luckily, events happen and make me break free of my own cage and unleash my inner strength. The ability to surprise myself of who I am and what I can do makes me feel human - - vulnerable and empowered at the same time.

Supplies: Papers: Sassafras Lass, Sticker: Carolee's, Making Memories, Chipboards: American Crafts, Buttons: BasicGrey, Brads: All About Scrapbooking, Making Memories, Pen: Uniball Signo, Other: Foam filmstrip diecuts, Cuttlebug sticker alphabet diecuts ( Typewriter).

Some close-ups:





Hope you can play along with us over at AAM!!!
