Selfie

Selfie

I’m keeping up with the hip younger crowd today and sharing my love of the Selfie.  

At church yesterday I had to giggle at our Ladies Ministry meeting when we brought up the word Selfie.  Many of course didn’t understand the term Selfie, and 99% of them say there was NO way they would take a selfie.  

Guess who was the 1%? Yes, ME!

Now I don’t take Selfie’s because I love myself… no! no!  If you are scrapbooker like myself the truth is I’m ALWAYS behind the camera lens and never in the pictures.  

You know my mantra on writing about yourself from my All About ME Class.  I really believe you need to tell YOUR story.  Leave a bit of yourself behind so others can know how GREAT you are/were.  

I take selfies on the go.  Typcially in the oddest places.  My kids will definitely see my humorous side when they read my book.  

Keep it F U N! 

Recently I was in the car taking Brandon to a swim meet.  We were sitting in traffic and I decided to freak him out.  I captured about 10 pictures of myself sitting in the car making funny faces when Brandon looks over with a face of sheer embarrassment and asks, “What A R E you doing, Mom?” My response-  feeling young and hip and I needed to capture it.  I think his eyes stuck in the large position and he sank down in his seat.  I smiled and kept clicking!  

Tell Your Story!

Today I did a little digital scrapbooking with my selfie image of Brandon and I.  I have to catch him in a “mood” to get one of these pictures.  I mean, c’mon… he is a pre-teen and it’s not really COOL to be taking pics with Mom like this….  but being the sport he is he smiled and made me smile bigger!  

Not only will I treasure this scrapbook page for years to come, but this picture puts the biggest smile on my face.  It captured a side of Brandon that I love… SILLY.

Today’s layout is also a challenge layout over on our Facebook Digtial Group.  The camera, Polaroid’s and Filmstrips are all fun and trendy and that is the challenge this week.  It doesn’t have to be about you, but create a filmstrip or make your pics into a Polaroid.  Heather shares a great technique on using the Freeform Tool to create a “Flash” like a camera.  It’s SO SO cool.  Check out her page and video HERE.
