Good Morning all... January is the month for new beginnings, for planning, for reflecting. I have made a resolution to myself to try not to get so angry or irritable so easily...I need to just relax and take a deep breath sometimes. I created this layout of the beach in Captiva Island, Florida, where I vacationed over the summer. It evokes memories of serenity and clarity. I collected these shells while I was taking a walk by myself at sunset one night. It was such a calm and peaceful place.
There are several challenges I was inspired by this month. Many were
asking for resolutions or one word to describe what you want to focus on
this year. So the word I picked was "breathe."
I used lots of Shimmerz on this layout, along with texture paste and a big Prima flower. I was inspired by the challenge at
Mixed Media Place that is looking for our interpretation of "calm" and also
Berry 7 Blue looking for that one word for us to think of throughout the year.
Here are some close ups:
Thanks for popping by today...
