BROKEN ~ BUT LEARNING TO BE STRONG ~ ORANGE PAPERIE CHALLENGE FOR JULY

Evening on another cold weekend. 
The new Challenge is up at Orange Paperie and John has challenged us to do a double layout ~ Yikes !  That is why it is called a challenge but right ? Pop over and check out the other DT members layouts they are gorgeous and all so different.
I must admit I was finding it really hard to start and was going to use a old double of  mine from yonks ago. The joy had gone out of scrapbooking for me and I was sitting looking at the paper paralyzed . Anyway last night I did a page that was therapy for me and it actually turned into a double layout as I went along.
Still being quite a personal layout I wasn't sure I should post it or just file it away and still go with the old layout from awhile ago.
Anyway I have decided to post it, it is just part of my journey I am sharing. I guess it is hard to admit we are not as strong as we would like to be.

Broken but learning to be strong

Some of my Mum's old thread. Little bead from Craftqueen

Vine ribbon from Craftqueen. Flowers from Marally Craft

Believe flair from StudioFourteen40 Dali range.  Chevron chippies and wings from Scrapmatts

The light bulb is from The Trinket Track and signifies that I had a light bulb moment & realized that People treat you the way they do because they can. But now I am only going to have people in my life that treat me right and with respect, and make decisions that are right for me. 
 Life is to short to waste time , energy and cause yourself heartache and stress when it is not necessary .  
The circle chippy is a 2crafty one from Craftqueen.
Hope you can join in with a double layout over at Orange Paperie and don't forget to visit the blogs of the other DT members .
Love and Peace
