I really loved your journaling. I have struggled with my body image for some time and hate that I do. I think you are beautiful and look fantastic in your bikini. Great layout, I loved the honesty in it all.
Oh you are so right about those feelings, guess most of us have the same thoughts when it comes to how we look. You are absolutely beautiful and look awesome! Hubby is right, but I so understand how you feel! The layout is so fun with the circles and the colors...all a great way to frame a beach layout...fantastic job on it and the journaling. I really need to do something like this one day!
Kudos to you ! Doing a LO of yourself in a swimsuit eventhough you're not particularily happy about the way you look in one. I feel exactly the same way. I get upset b/c I think I used to look much better a few years ago and I constantly put myself down...w/the same reaction from my hubby. ANYWAY...about the LO..Love the colors and the way you framed your face in the circle! The ribbons anf the title are so cute too! Awesome job!
Wow! This layout is spectacular and your journaling is so so true and meaningful. I hope it helps to know that EVERYONE no matter what they look like feels insecure about SOMETHING some time or other! You look so happy in this photo! Great job on everything!!!!!!!!!
FAT??? What fat??? Ya wanna see some fat....? YOU definitely don't have anything to worry about when it comes to your looks. LIsten to your husband! Really! But I do like your honest journaling, cuz we all have things about us that we hate. And sadly we have a distorted view of ourselves, that is usually exagerated. But cheer up! You've made dozens of us a little jealous cuz we wish we could look as good in a 2-piece!! (or even own a 2-piece!!) Wonderful layout here!!!
You are crazy!! A ton of women would kill to look that good. You are absolutely adorable!! So is this lo....it's da bomb!! Aswesome job with the challenge.
this is an incredible lo!! love the journaling, design, EVERYTHING!! I only wish I could look that good in a swimsuit!! I could count to a hundred million and still not look that good!!
You look great in a swimsuit! Stop being silly! I could only wish that I could look like that in suit! I've had been a little chubby my whole life... and now after the baby it's even worse. Oh well, enough about me. I love this LO with all the circles and you did a great job on the transparancy.
This layout is fabulous and so are you!!! I can relate to your journaling, I totally feel the same way. You are beautiful and you are very photogenic! All the pictures that you show of yourself look great! Anyways, I love the circles and the ribbon wrapped around it. Looks like a lot of work! The little flowers, doodles and buttons are a perfect touch! Very touching layout!
what a fabulous LO ... and let me just say, you have nothing to be self concious about! but I think most of us have the same issues. you are gorgeous, though, doll. :) great job on this ... I love the colors and your design!! TFS!
Amazing LO!!!! I know exactly how you feel (relating to what you journaled) and it has only gotten worse for me since I havent lost the pregnancy weight. I would love to be able to have a body like yours, you look great!! Fantastic work on the LO!
Sweety I know how it is. I had a low self esteem when it came to how I look. I have a LO about that, anyway. I LOVE this LO and it did take courage to do your journaling. Wonderful, and I think your very pretty.
Your journaling brought tears to my eyes that you would feel that way about yourself. You are beautiful!! Love your LO! Fabulous circles & ribbon.

I made this Lo for the 3 products Challenge (was not happy with how the color scanned) ;(, but loved how this LO turned out overall, we were asked to use transpareny, ribbon and buttons. I chose to do hidden journaling (behind photo) for this LO which i had never done before, seems like it made it easier to journal this page. The transpareny idea was hard for me on this challenge, i made several "hand-made" pieces then decided i didn't like any of them : ) so i just ended up using transpareny "type". This is a photo of me at the beach this summer 2006. TFL!
Hidden Journaling Reads: Any photo that includes me in a bathing suit Requires the ability to count. . . To 3 that is! Before Any photo is taken of me in a bathing suit, I must have The “count down” 1 - 2 - 3... (suck it all in). . . I really have a bad body image and it usually gets The best of me. I am constantly putting myself Down, calling my self fat, and making bad comments About body. My husband gets so upset with Me sometimes and tells me to stop cutting myself Down, and that he thinks I am beautiful! I don’t Have a problem with my personality, I love people and I feel that I am very outgoing, but I know I could Worry less about how I look.. I think a lot of my self consciousness comes From being cut down in past relationships and from Having a relationship end in unfaithfulness. That experience has made me Question if I “look” good enough! I really am Not proud about feeling this way about myself and I wish I would “just not worry” about it, but sometimes it is hard for me to “not” worry about what other people think of me and to just be happy with who I am and how I am made. I was made this Way by someone way more powerful than I am and Who loves me the way I am. I just need to love myself.
