If you are the parent of young teenagers or "tweens" (10-12 year olds) you will, no doubt, know all about the obsession with selfies for this age group!!
For this layout I took inspiration from this layout by Els Brige. Although I loved the banners on Els's layout, they didn't work for me as my photo was slightly larger than hers so I dcided to layer up some 6 x 6 papers from the Crate "Notes and Things" paper pad behind my photo. The diagonal thin striped paper at the back is still a 6" x 6" sheet but I cut it in half and adhered it with a gap between the two pieces so that the paper would show on both sides of the photo mat.
I used a Stampin' up heart stencil to create the hearts on the background cardstock.
I loved this photo that my daughter took of herself on her mobile phone whilst out on a family winter walk and couldn't wait to scrap it.
It's a plainer page than I would normally make but I like it as I think it keeps the focus on the photo.
Have you scrapped selfies that your family have taken of themselves?

What a beautiful layout, and daughter. I love that Crate Paper.
Funnily enough I have just blogged about us messing around taking silly selfies on a winter walk lol.
Love this layout....though it's not just teens....my 20something daughters are obsessed with them as well.
p.s. I'll definately be making an America album.
it must be a girl thing. i have to bribe my three these days to take a selfie!!
A beautiful page, H is growing up fast x
Absolutely gorgeous.
Fab photo and fab page too. I like the simpler look x
Lovely layout. My niece is 12 and ALWAYS posting selfies on Instagram! Having said that, my daughter is 24 and also posts lots of selfies - but not the 'pouting' type which the younger girls seem to do!
Love the page - unfortunately the 'pouting type' (duck face as I tell my daughter) is all she seems to do. She's Y7 so I'm hoping it is a faze she will outgrow soon!
That is a beautiful layout and a great photo x
