More than Words inaugural January challenge

So there is a new kid in town - lol. There is a new challenge site out there in the big wide world, and I must say, it's just a little exciting. More than Words challenges are something to keep a watch out for. Their first challenge for January 2016 is to use a selfie photo and scrap about your personality.
 
I am one of those people who does struggle to scrap about myself, but I need to start embracing who I am, and that is pretty much what I have chosen to scrap about with my personality - a person who lacks confidence, and doesn't like to rock the boat. I am on a path to discovering myself at nearly 52, and I am on a path to changing me. So I took on the challenge, and this is what I came up with. 
I am a work in progress
 Of late, I have been enjoying doing clean scrapping, very little mixed media. However, for this challenge, I felt the mixed media which I was enjoying last year was needed for this layout. I especially love the Charms Charms DIY heavenly heart, which I stamped, stenciled and then sprayed. I also love the Rainbow Splendour bow, a recent acquisition to my stash.
I am happy with the end result of this layout. 
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave.
