"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”

This is it...


...before it is dismantled to become something better in the future...

It's not really me... and it just makes me sad...
I just goes to show that if you hate something the chance are that other people will too...

PS: Thanks for the tips on the travel journal... mine is all ready to go - will share soon but it is completely scraplifted from the talented and lovely Emily.
PPS: I just want to make it really really clear that I'm not bitter... my disappointment is in myself because I know I could have done so much better... thats all... :)

I don't hate it! It is very different to your usual style but it is still very funky! The competition on SYTYCS is so HUGE. There so many fantastic layouts it must be so hard to choose...and you are still the leader...go YOU.

Why do you think people hate it?? I really like it, especially the way you did the title and journalling "centered" on the layout. And just because you didn't get any points this week doesn't mean your layout is bad, remember it's a really tough contest!
Don't be so hard on yourself!!

Neen you banana. Please don't dismantle it. I know it's not your style, but I do like it and look three others that commented like it too!

But I do know what you mean. I have 3 'Lianne's' on the go and not finished and so of course I didn't enter #3. Just don't reuse your layout, I think it's super.

Oh my golly - I can't believe you're gonna dismantle it - when I looked thru the gallery and got to your lo - I called you a tart (in the nicest way possible of course) cos I LOVE this lo so much. It is one of my faves. You could always send it to me and I could just cover your photo with my own lol
Okay taking over your comments now better go. But seriously I love it.

Oh and I'd have to change the age too - no one would believe I was that young lol

Okay I havent been following that comp - but as a innocent bystander (lol) viewing your layout I have to say I like it, I love the journalling esp! Okay I know Im biased because I love your style I love how amazingly creative oyu are - esp when you compare to my clean and simple and boring style lol I have often lifted elements from your layouts to try because they are just so darn cool!

Neen you are a noodle - this layout is so YOU and you know how much I LOVE your work, not sure why you are so disappointed in yourself over this - cripes I would love to have half the talent you do in your little finger alone! Chin up chicky and just remember be true to you!!! Look forward to seeing what you rock out next week!!

Ok Neen, at least sleep on it for a few more days before attempting to dismantle! If I did this each time I didn't like my layout I probably wouldn't have many to add to the album - LOL! But then I go back a few days later and it grows on me - my style is forever changing. But the main thing I have to remind myself is why I scrapbook - no it's not for everyone to critique but for my kids and family. Smile and I think you will probably kick butt next week!
