LGS GET INSPIRED MAGAZINE ISSUE 2 | Page 56

Most often taken with a cell phone, the “selfie” is one of the most popular styles of self-portrait taken right now and our most popular entry for this issue! There are websites cropping up everywhere with tips about how to get the perfect selfie and on selfie etiquette. The word “selfie” was chronicled as being the “word of the year” in late 2013, by the Oxford English Dictionary. So it is no surprise that we scrapbookers are using this style of photograph on our pages. ~ Laura NEARLY HALFWAY Designer: Melissa Vinning (NEW ZEALAND) Supplies: Carta Bella and Pretty Little Studios patterned papers; Jillibean Soup Alpha Beans; Heidi Swapp letters; My Minds Eye enamel dots, Candy Shoppe Candy Stripers gems.
