Hi Everyone....I love! Scraplift Challenges!...I think they are my favorite monthly challenge....And...when I get to combine 2 layouts , even better!!!...It is the potential and the surprise! that i like and the self discovery , along the way to creativity!...You just never know how it is gonna turn out! or inspire you to create! something new!!!...And being honest, I could have chosen so many other different combos ,amongst all of the beauties! I saw there!...
*I ended up choosing these 2 layouts : I will include the links below :

*To me , they were just screaming to be put together in a scraplift : all of those blues and pinks ; so,I have lots of bright blues and pinks , mixed with green leaves, green flower and those green semicircles on the background paper , that I chose to anchor everything with. Please note that I have re-colored certain pieces to get the right color palette I was going for. I have butterflies, threads,strings, paint, word art,confetti,bows,hearts and frames...I even used one of the same brads/flairs in one of the layouts I scraplifted...The "Life" brad/flair . To me, these 2 layouts describe the same kind of "Real life" is "Messy" vibe...So that is why I have the words "Real" and "Messy" included in my layout. I know these 2 layouts don't exactly take up the whole page, but mine does, as it continues on the same theme...
Not only is life messy and real, but it is at times all encompassing...My colors are a bit brighter, also to illustrate, that even when things get tough in life, and you feel all alone and terrified that you don't know where to turn or who to ask for help...Or maybe,you don't know how to ask for help , like I was feeling after my husband passed away...Loneliness and extreme grief can trick you into believing and thinking that all is lost and that you should give in or give up...I am here to tell you that I have lived that "true" part of the story , because that is what happened to me...When I finally found the strength to ask for help and realized that, I could not go it all alone without help...It was only then, that I started to see the light of hope in my own strength ; it was only then, did I start to see my dark , grey, grief-filled world, starting to fill up with the promise of color again...
