Scrap That Poetry Challenge #2- Phenomenal Woman

Scrap That Poetry Challenge #2

Maya Angelou's Phenomenal WomanI created this layout using the title and the last stanza of the poem "Phenomenal Woman".

Here is the last verse:

Now you understand

Just why my head's not bowed.

I don't shout or jump about

or have to talk real loud.

When you see me passing,

I ought to make you proud

I say,

It's the click of my heals,

The bend of my hair,

The need for my care.

'Cause I'm a woman

Phenomenally,

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

I fell in love with this poem the 1st time that I read it. As a woman, I try to show my self confidence and my love for myself and who I am! I had many verses that I wanted to choose and may still do another layout before the close of the contest... I hope you feel inspired by this poem as well!

I want to dedicate this layout to my mom and grandmother who I feel are phenomenal woman and who helped mold me to be the "phenomenal woman" I feel that I am today!

I also participated in a few other challenges with this layout!

I did the technique challenge on Practical Scrappers by using shaped scissors. I cut the edge off my layout with curvy scissors and then added the border of Jillibean pattern paper.
The next challenge that I participated in was for Crop Addict where they challenged you to use 4 different pattern papers on 1 layout. I used 4 different pattern papers from Jillibean's Kraft line.
Finally, I participated in Design Dollies challenge to use hand stitching on your page.

I hope you enjoyed my page and check out the entire poem here.
Don't forget, you have until October 31st at 10 am EST to participate in this challenge!
