I went the whimsical way today…I was attempting to lift my mood a bit. The weather is darn cold again and it’s got me a little down.
This also reminds me that I better get my seeds started. I usually start what I can indoors right about St. Patrick’s Day and I haven’t gotten it done yet…I’m falling behind!
Ever have a day and you wake up feeling inspired? That was how I felt this morning. I popped out of bed, started coffee, had a little quiet time and yoga. I headed off to the basement with my mind set to create.
I wasn’t planning on using this journal but since it was prepped and ready to go with the background that was speaking to me at the moment…I went for it.
As I started painting in green…my muse said…nope. Turquoise is the color of the day. I covered up the green and was pleased with the subtle shading the layers had created.
The page came together so quickly…I was amazed.
The last little accent I added was a bit of tea dyed lace. I carefully cut around the medallion. It was perfect for the spot.
I don’t often get really excited about my pages but this one has me smiling!
I decided to go a different route with our family Christmas cards this year. We’ve sent out a photo, letter or photo copied scrapbook page for countless years now. My reasons for changing the tradition for this year are multifaceted. I have to tell you that my family was shocked!!
I’m sending out handmade cards this year. And a lot fewer of them. We’ll see how it goes. I may regret that decision but I already have my plan for next year. 🙂
These are just a few of the designs I came up with yesterday. Luckily I have a stash of cards I’ve made throughout the last couple of months.
