Believe

I dont recognize this woman any more. Who is she and where does she belong? Have you ever come to a cross roads and knew you had to change your life, knew it with every fiber of your being?
That you knew youve outgrown where you are and need to burst into bloom or burst into flames? That staying in the same place was killing you by inches and it is painful? That you need to be where you can make a difference. This woman knows her life is going to change, and change in a big way. She asks for guidance and listens to directions as painful as they might be. She needs to know when she looks in the mirror that she is in the right place at the right time to do the right thing. In the Zone.

My photo processed to Threshold

Process Notes: Using Solid Paper 5 from To The Moon Palette, I stamped the Metro Graffiti brush and clipped my photo to it, resizing and fitting.

I placed my journaling, the flower stamen and bow over my photo. I stamped a tape brush from the Palette at the bottom right corner of my photo mask and gave it a slight bevel to make it pop a little. Then I stamped the line from Different Strokes 2 on the left of my journaling, attaching a thread to the top of it.

Placing the word art, coloring it with the pinks from the stamen by attaching a layer above in the panel and using a couple of AnnaArtsyBlendz brushes and adding a stroke outline and small shadow.

Underneath the photo I placed overlay 2 to frame my photo and trail off the left side of the page leaving it at Normal blend mode, WarmGlow above the overlay set at Lighten blend mode at 90% opacity. And above that I stamped the star and star online from Skys the Limit brushes.

Again, over the photo I place a couple of more splatter and stains overlays from the To the Moon palette leaving them on Normal blend mode at 100% opacity. That completes this layout.
I totaly agree with Donna Goar. For sure only strong people can handle this, you are a very strong person, great and thanks that you share this with us. Your page mean so much, a great page from a beautiful strong person!

Congrats on the GSO, so well deserved!!
 
Heartfelt journaling! I think many of us have been in similar places. Beautiful page. Congratulations on the GSO! Be brave!
 
Yes, there comes a day, a moment, and you know. Then you can't unsee what you have seen in yourself. Good (excellent!) that you have documented this. Here's my wish for your wonderful journey!
 
Making the page took courage...posting it, even more...a big step along the path you have begun. Well deserved gso.
 
Inspiring work, Barbara. Beautiful presentation. I like that you make a strong statement using only a small part of the page. I also like the journaling through the image, making it part of you.
