As Lisa, I came up with a few ideas for this week's prompt. But I settled on highlighting the fact that I love new beginnings. It came to me while sorting memorabilia in preparation for Stacy Julian's Twelve class. The photo reminds me of a more innocent and inexperienced me who was apprehensive about change. That is no longer true about me. I now welcome new beginnings. I wanted to document that.
This was the resulting layout -
I kept the embellishing simple because my focus was on the story I was telling and the huge picture. I left some white space in the middle to allow the eye to rest, but now I am second guessing my choice and wonder if I should have butted up the photo and journaling. Anyway, it is done and I am happy with it.
Thanks for looking. I truly hope some of your creative resolutions for 2012 include playing along with us. We would love to have you. If you created a layout featuring one of your turning points please remember to add if to our flick'r group under the lable WM#20.
I will be back later with our new challenge.
xo,

such a great layout! that photo of you is adorable and the journalling is perfect. you have hit exactly the right tone in the words and all the elements you've chosen. I love the concept of a 12x12 and a 6x12 added on - I haven't done that yet. Looking forward to your new challenge!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet, tender photo
ReplyDeleteI like the white space, but thought it might be fun to add some simple pencil doodly sketches of some of those beginnings with a lot of room left for the future...
