Hero

Made this digital layout using patterned papers from various company ie Echo Park, Cosmo Cricket etc. Have not been creating digital layout for quite some time (years probably) and it is fun to be able to spend some time doing it.

This layout is based on a theme song of Mariah Carey titled 'Hero' in Challenge YOUrself blog.  I picked up some of the lyrics from that song as the journal for my layout.

Challenge:

• Challenge YOUrself - #74 Hero
