Description: This is another l/o I made using the November main kit from MY CREATIVE SCRAPBOOK. A friend of mine named Pearl Liu did a page a little while back and used a quote I just loved and knew I had to do a page using it myself! Now that I'm in my 40's I often hear comments how a woman in her 40's should have shorter hair.....here is my reply.....
"They say...
A woman of my age should not let her hair
Fall below the marks of her shoulder.
It will bring the face down
And make her look older.
But I say...
A woman of my age
Should let her hair grow.
When it gets too long
I think she will know
A woman of my age
Is secure and finally sure of herself.
She doesn't long to be nineteen,
But neither is she ready for the shelf."
I used a bunch of different techniques on this page including tinting rhinestones with alcohol inks! A great way to co-ordinate the colours on your page!....you can checkout close-ups and 'tips & techniques' for this months pages at my blog http://gabriellepollacco.blogspot.com/
Love the photo of you Gab..so sweet!! You know that you don't look anywhere near 40!!! I love what you did with the overlay!! Nice little touch of burgandy..really pops!!
perfection and so beautiful! you look gorgeous! and you have the most beautiful hair! the purple in combination with the blue here is amazing! and your designs are incredible and never cease to inspire!!!
I love this! Amazing story and poem. My mom tells me that ALL THE TIME because I insist on keeping my hair long-your timing is so funny because she brought that up again a few days ago, out of the blue. I've always loved hair and will always love it. YOU have beautiful hair and I envy it every time I see a pic of you. Mine is not as thick any longer. Those were the days! Love EVERY inch of this! Great job for standing up for yourself and all the other older and wiser ladies who keep their hair! Going into my faves for sure.
