'MEMOIRS'

I have used the Beautiful Vintage Basics series of papers. 

VINTAGE SPRING - 1912 - bs

 VINTAGE AUTUMN - 6th March - bs

I created a crackle effect on my background which to me represents

 opening up 

the various layers that make up who I am and recording 

my thoughts, feelings and attitude to life. 

I find it extremely healing, rewarding and interesting to read how I am changing and evolving my soul 

over the years and learn from each experience. 

Becoming enlightened through life's journey is wonderful .

altered metal embellishment with leaves and twigs .

I have kept journals most of my life . I began recording my feelings, thoughts and experiences

from the time I was age 12 .

Today I have more Arty journals rather than diaries and add lots of inspirational quotes . 

I will share some pieces of my life in the form of my Art journals as we go 

through this year . 

pop over to MAJA DESIGN BLOG to see what the Design team have 

created to inspire you .

I do hope you find time to create something from this Mood Board.

January Sketch Challenge designed by Nadia Cannizzo

below is my take on the beautiful sketch 

'CHERISH' 

all the chipboard pieces are painted in green with dabs of black .

I cut pieces from the geometric Panel and turned then on the side 

creating a diamond shape  

 I love this little piece of the geometric panel creating interest on the top corner of my layout .

REMEMBER 

 I decided to go with the monochromatic hues in the palette

and make the red and green pop with the blooms.

EVIDENCE

Stars, circle, distressing, something transparent, metal, greenery.

TESTIMONY

While travelling in the South Island New Zealand.

We stayed at this gorgeous coach house at a place 

named Dansey's Pass.

Sigh ! such wonderful memories of our holiday in New Zealand.

 Winter is a time which reminds me that nature is still very much in control.

(This section is written on the back of my LO )

Winter is a time to reflect , a time for hibernation from life's distraction.

Fireside gatherings, toast from the burning embers and a mug of something warm and nourishing.

The beanie, scarf, coat and woolly socks.

are all things that say winter to me x

thanks for popping by and I hope you have time to play with this case .

'WINTER DELIGHT' 

My journaling is hidden on the tags 

EVIDENCE

doodling,  leaves /branches, small dots, circles, solid background,

TESTIMONY

I JOURNALED ABOUT A WNTER HOLIDAY

The journaling is hidden on my tags .

Winter…. I love to explore wintery places.

This shot was taken in New Zealand , situated at the bottom of the South Island. 

Walking outside, breathing in the cool air of winter is peaceful and serene. 

The soft, mossy green , rolling hills , look so dreamy to me and the dewy shadows that never dry out, hide the fascinating world of small insects, living in the heavy undergrowth .

After our walk in the crisp, cold air, we arrived back at out B&B

 to a roaring log fire , a bowl of hot hearty soup with garlic bread and a glass of red wine. … sigh xoxo
