Okay. So I know I am totally biased when it
comes to our kids. It's genetically wired into us as parents, I'm sure, to
believe that our children are the cutest kids on earth, with the sweetest of
smiles. :) And of course it helps portray that image when we usually only
share the best photos we have of them. ;D But it wasn't until recently, when a
friend was looking through my photos of Tahlia and just stopped and said..
"Gee... She's so photogenic", that I really stopped to think about it.
There was a certain amount of pride as I just
stood back, smiled and silently agreed. :) And I know that at the moment (aged
12) she is starting to get really body conscious with certain WRONG ideas in her
head as to what the media says she should look like, just to be pretty. So the
photogenic conversation and her body image ideas have obviously stuck in my
head. Because as I sat down to scrap in the last day or two, I converged the
two thoughts into one and this is what I produced...
"photogenic"

I have used the new release Doily Flower 1 and photo corners 2 from the Fancy That Dies range available from The Papercraft
Hub. And yes... I've snuck in the sweet blooms die...again!

I've cut out two
of the doily flower 1's and used one as a matte under the main cluster. The
other one I simply trimmed down to create these lacy edges on my border. A cute
feminine touch. :)
I've also gone on to journal some more private thoughts about
her ideas and included it as hidden journaling on my layout. I want her to
remember how I interpreted her feelings on the subject of body image, at a later
date. And no matter what anyone else says... I think she is the cutest, most
photogenic girl on the planet! hahaha.. maybe even in the whole universe.
