Lifting Sharmaine

This week i participated in the 'lift me up challenge' over at the Cocoa Daisy Forum. The jist is to look at the gallery of the person who posted in the thread before you and choose a layout to scraplift. i posted after Sharmaine. 

Rather than directly lift the design of one of her layouts i chose to get inspiration from a couple of her layouts. i really liked the painted background on this one and also her use of triangles in a couple of the layouts in her gallery. i LOVE triangles. And this is what i came up with: 

Honestly, i really struggled at first and kept re-designing the layout, but i'm glad i persisted because i'm pleased with how it turned out. And i'm especially glad i had so much space for journaling about these awesome people i have in my life.
