Do you ever suffer from “page envy?” You know, that time when you look at someone’s scrapbook page (or any creative endeavor!) and think, “I wish my project looked like that.” I had a bout of that recently. Everything I did felt too linear. Too straight. Too boring.

But it is what I produced right now and it’s okay. In fact, it’s more than okay! It’s me. We should embrace who we are creatively, right?

Here is the finished page:
