DT Practical Scrappers - Wood Veneer

Today the On Trend team at Practical Scrappers is up with a new theme: wood veneer. I think we all have some of these trendy shapes and the On Trend team is showing you some different ways to use them. I went for the hexagon shapes by Studio Calico.

I always find it a little weird to scrap about myself, but I gave it a try. I edited a photo on Instagram with 9 different filters. This layout doesn't really have a title, because the journaling is already big and it's obvious what this page is about. I used this Dr. Seuss quote because it is one of my favorites and for me it means that you are good enough the way you are, and maybe even more important: that you understand and accept that. I think I'm at a point in my life that I actually do understand and accept that, so the time was right to use this quote.

 
I misted the small wood veneer hexagons in the borders with Mr. Huey's. On the hexagons that are placed randomly on the page, I added the matching accent stickers.
