Soar

January is all about new beginnings! I chose Soar as my word of the year-this year I want to soar above it all and not get caught up in the everyday craziness! I created this layout  with A Beginning by Sarah Barber Designs.  When I saw this kit and all those lovely birds I knew it was just perfect!

This Moment

I was lucky enough to have my parents visit right before Christmas. We did alot of touristy things-including watching the manatees. This time we actually saw manatees. Yeah! Created with Life's Composition by Viva Artistry which can be found at the Digi Chick!  I love the colors of this kit and think they are perfect for any project 365/12-you name it.  What's more-the buncle is on sale now!

Making Observations

Started the Art Journal Caravan this year again.  Didn't really do much with it last year but this year I really want to keep up.  That being said I completed my first challange-The mind.  I found this fabulous brain on flickr which I then filled up with symbols from some of my favorite designers-Viva Artistry, Tangie Baxter, Christina Renee.  I picked symbols which I felt represent me-a cross, our home, my birthday on the flag.  Along with some affirmations that I would do good to remember!



What a diffeerence a day makes!

Its been cold here in SW Florida.  We went from enjoying the warm, balmy sunshine at New Years to having to scrape frost and cover the tomato plants.  What a way to start the New Year.  Luckily I think its
warming up a bit.  To celebrate our extremes in weather I created this page Project life style with a template and kit called Everyday Life from Boutique Cute Doll over at After Five Designs.



This is a bit of a more traditional page from me and I do believe I have been bitten by the Project life bug!

Check out the rest of this kit:

Count Your Blessings

Seems like I have been away from the computer forever.  Life has been busy...holidays etc. Not sure what I did with all the extra time I had while I was on vacation but....it is back to reality and the start of a New Year.  One good thing-a lot of the digital designers have been busy creating fabulous new kits.  And Viva Artistry is no exception.  Released today is their new kit Count Your Blessings.  Made me step back and think about those things which I am most thankful for-Mike and Jess.  Judy snapped this fabulous photo ot the two of them sharing a momment. 

Love the colors of this new kit-yellows, greys, and orange.  Makes me long for one of those new Project Life Binders!

Tea Garden

Oh the teacups...you either love 'em or hate 'em! And your opinion definately changes as you get older! As I kid I can remember loving them-I could spin in circles endlessly it seemed. Today-not so much! Page created with Tea Garden by Viva Artistry. Photo courtesy of Life photo collection on google.

Heart of the Ocean

Still dreaming of summer and wishing I was off somewhere enjoying the warmth of a sunset cruise. Here I envision Ida Roth (yes thats her real name!) enjoying her trip aboard an elegant seafaring vessel. Love the lush, rich colors of Viva Artistry's Heart of the Ocean Kit which I used to create this page. Photo courtesy of the Florida Memory project archives.
