I cannot locate the original link to Paige Evan's page as it was on Two Peas. But I will link to her blog for inspiration
I used a different quote, much longer, my ruffles are all white and vellum instead of colored. I also go a but heavy handed on the splatter.

I used washi to back my letters and surprisingly I had spray mist in all the colors to splatter about. I added vellum over the picture as I wanted the picture to not be as crispy and clear. I made the picture a flap and added my journaling there.
The journaling is a bit hard to read from the blog picture.
"No this does not mean that I want to live with this out of
shape body either. I am 43 and realize that it took 6 pregnancies, a handful of
stressful situations, a roller coaster of emotions and quite a few bad decisions
to get here. It will take many things to change it, some I am not willing to do
right now. I know that sounds ridiculous. If I don’t love my body why would I
not do what it takes to make it the way I want it. Well, as I said, I am 43 and
I know me. I hate counting calories, I feel like I am depriving myself of foods
and that is all I can think about. Then I start cheating and then I feel bad, it
is a vicious cycle that repeats over and over until I give up, (done this way
to many times.) Everything in moderation seems to be what keeps my emotions on
an even keel. When my emotions are on an even keel I make better choices….
I have decided that instead squeezing into the slightly wrong
size clothing because that is the size I used to be/want to be is not good for
my mental wellbeing. So I buy the right size clothing despite the size number and
they are comfortable and I smile more. Amazing right? Smiling more is the goal.
I don’t care what the scale says anymore.
I stopped letting that number decide whether I feel pretty today. When I feel pretty
I make better choices and making better choices it the goal every day.
I have a very loving husband and 4 beautiful children that
love me. I will never look like a Victoria’s Secret model but then, they don’t really
look like that either… I will never be a size 6 and may never have an awesome
toned bum. But I can be happy in my own skin and that is the best thing
possible."
Thanks got looking
