moments-More Than Words First Challenge!!

The time has finally arrived! We are live and so thrilled to present your with our first challenge here at More Than Words


January Main Challenge
PERSONALITY & SELFIE
What does the word "PERSONALITY" inspire you to create?
You can choose to use the word somewhere on your project or
simply be inspired to create from it.  Please explain in your blog post
how it inspired you, if not already obvious. 

The creative challenge is to use a "SELFIE".
It is as easy as that!  All of the DT have used a selfie of themselves
on their project in order to introduce themselves to you during our very first
 challenge, but for your project, you can use a selfie of yourself
or anyone else (kids, husband, best friend, etc).
Or, if you have no selfie, any photo of you will be fine.

This is what I came up with. . .

I struggled with this layout for oh so many reasons! One I hate taking pictures of myself lol so that was an experience in itself. Two I am really battling with this neck pain from hernaited discs and a narrowing of my spinal cord canal. The pain makes it difficult to sit and do anything for a long period of time :(  I pray that there is an end in sight for me when I see the surgeon in Toronto later this month!!! Pray!!!
Here are a few close ups.

Used one of my favorite stencils from 7Dots Studio for the background. The papers are from Prima Bella Rouge collection.
Tim Holtz rubons.
I hope you join along with us this month! We have some awesome prizes up for grabs!
