Kindred Kollections

First page of my Art Journal

Well I have completed the first page of my Art Journal and started my second!

This page was inspired by a card I saw here, http://jillgg.typepad.com/jillygg/2010/12/a-christmas-card-or-two-even.html, created by the very talented Jilly G-Groves. Thanks Jilly, for your inspiration!

I enjoyed it so much, I can't wait to finish my next one.  It is still very 'plain' compared to some of the amazing pages others have done but mine just the same. What do you think?

It shows  all things that I love (except for a photo of friends and family). It's pink, and sparkly. It has trees (I have always had a fascination with trees for some reason?), birds, flowers and music.  Oh, and it's Pink! Did I already say that?  I love Pink!

'SIMPLIFY' - My word for 2011 and one I plan to live by.

Cheers,

Sue

Simplify! That's my word for 2011..

Did anyone see the movie, 'Eat,Pray,Love'?  I did and it made me reflect on a lot of things in my life, good and bad, and I have made a decision to live by a 'word' every year. 

For 2011, my word is SIMPLIFY! 

I have had a horrid 2010 for many reasons and none of which I will bore you with here as 2011 is going to be absolutely amazing for me (how's that for positive thinking!).

The first step I am taking to 'simplify' my life............I am buying a hamper for each of the kids rooms. Once I have washed and dried all their clothes, their clothes will be going into the hamper for them to fold and put away!  I am so tired of washing, folding, and putting clothes in a pile for them to put away, only to come back hours later to find them everywhere. There....................Simple!

Now that I have had my little rant, I feel much better. Thanks.

I had minimal posts in 2010 but I did still manage to do lots of creating (ME time, gotta love that) so I will be gradually showing some of these creations over time.

Something else that I have joined up is this......http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/balzer_designs/2010/12/art-journal-every-day.html.  Fantastic idea and a great way to learn from some very talented artisans/scrapbookers.  It is well work checking out the link and, go on, sign up for it.  I look forward to seeing some great pages!

I completed a couple of pages the other day when I didn't have to go into work so will share one of them with you now.

Great to be back on the horse, as they say and here's to a great 2011!

Till next time. Happy scrappin,

Sue
