This is my first Steampunk themed layout, and I had a lot of fun with it. I did this for the June Darker Side Challenge. It is also for the June BOM Challenge and the AGC 6/8 daily challenge to use stitching in a layout. The full title is Confessions and Musings from the Mysterious Mind of Princess La Poo. (La Poo was a nickname that my daddy gave me after changing a few particularly nasty diapers when I was a baby). The hidden journaling, which you can see sticking out of the pocket, says: 1) I have always been fiercely competitive, 2) I believe in ghosts, 3) I wish I could have another baby, 4) I am left-handed, 5) Zombie movies terrify me, 6) I only write poetry when I am sad or angry and 7) I prefer stick-shift over automatic.
