April 2024 Picture Yourself Challenge **WINNER**

Post by aheatfan »

Winner as selected by the Wheel of Names - Lisn2cats - will send your gift card shortly. 


Posting early... busy weekend ahead.

Welcome to the 10th month of this challenge, I am not sure how many months this will run but it has been fun so far. I cannot believe that 9 months have gone by already and I'm so glad you are participating, I love looking at your unique stories about YOU. If you are new here, this challenge came about after a conversation with my 22 year old son about a certain event and how I did not want to include a "bad' picture of myself. He then asked that I include more of myself in our books. It occurred to me that we, the scrappers are usually behind the camera and often fail to scrap ourselves - this is a means to remedy that. 

Sooooo....in light of that, this challenge is to get YOU in your albums, your kids albums, your grandkids albums, they want to see YOU!!! 

Most, if not all of us have fears. We all have fears about something happening to our loved ones but I am talking about fears that are unique to you. My biggest fear that is unique to me is my extreme fear of alligators. I live in Florida so it something we see a lot.  It started not long after my first son was born and I started having terrible nightmares about alligators. Those nightmares continue to this day.  I have tried on several occasions to face my fear but I am still afraid.  On this day I really wanted to photograph the bird rookery with many types of beautiful wading birds. The only way to do that was to cross the bridge.  Hubby held my hand and talked me through it.  The shots that I got were well worth it.  I tried so hard not to think about the man eating giants right below my feet. 

Your challenge this month is to create a layout about one of your fears. How you deal with it, how you overcame it, or how you face it.  As always, your layout MUST have a picture of yourself on the layout. 

My example:
Image

Must be a new layout, paper or digital, single or double page. Layouts only.
You can combine with ONE other challenge that allows it. 
Limit ONE entry.   MUST have a photo of you on the layout somewhere. 
Please link your work here. Deadline is April 30, 2024. A random winner from all entries done correctly will be selected for a $5.00 ACOT gift card from me.

Haha, I was just thinking the same thing.  It would take at least 17 layouts to show them all!

Having just moved to Florida, I struggle with this fear, too. There is a deep drainage ditch in our backyard and I always worry that when the dog goes out to do his business, he might get curious about what is in the ditch. Neighbors have said it is rare, but there have been sightings in the 'hood. Yikes! And then there are the snakes and that poisonous cane toad....lions, tigers and bears seem friendly compared to these creepy reptiles.

Cool page. I'm afraid of crocodiles which is quite similar. I'm also afraid of heights which is weird because I ski and garden on my roof. clearly ay layout will have to be about the second one because we don't have crocs here in PA and I haven't taken photo of one in years.

I have that same type of fear in regards to spiders.  I could NOT WATCH the spider scenes in Harry potter with Hagrid, or the Lord of the Rings where Frodo is in the spider web...NONE of that. My kids LOVE it and will send me texts with huge spiders in them all the time! BRATS!!!  
 I completely understand your fear!

My ODS has the same fear of spiders.  I sometimes do the bratty thing and send him memes with those big Australian spiders, lol.  He does the same with alligators so we are even  😊

I am stuck on this, I’m not afraid of anything.  Just kidding!  I can’t stand worms and get major bug-a-boos, like people do with spiders.  Spiders and snakes don’t bother me too much.  I am afraid of heights…so how do I scrap this?
