I am sharing another layout today, that tells about my OLW (one little word) for 2013 and it's for the OUAS - Embrace. So yes, one of my previous layouts was also Embrace, but I think it's important to keep talking about it, thinking about it and then lastly living it! ;-)
Firstly the OUAS sketch.
Here is my take on it.
Materials used:
Kaisercraft Madame Boutique papers and accents
Prima flowers and mask
Petaloo Flowers
7 Gypsies tape.
Enmarc Dazzles Clay Pot
Corrugated board
Lace
I have 2 sets of journalling, one behind each photo. The journalling says this: With the start of a new year I always want to have a thought that will take me forward and be my guiding light for the year, and this year it is the word Embrace - Learn to embrace the good and the extra-ordinary things in my daily life. Things happen and we don't always know why, but then they bring about a different set of opportunities and events. Embrace love and friends and the things I love. Embrace time, moments and joy!!
Here are some close-ups of the clusters.
I hope that you might think of a word that can inspire and carry you through this year.
Thanks for stopping by.
Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon!

DeleteYou did a wonderful job with the sketch and I also love your journaling. I love all the layers and colors. And stunning photos of yourself, and we don't often scrap ourselves, I'm very guilty. Really a stunning layout.

DeleteI like your word for 2013--it's nice and positive. And you have worked magic with this sketch: it's perfectly balanced with lovely details.
ReplyDeleteDenise, have you seen Lily Bee Design's new "Sweet Shoppe" line of papers? They are filled with strawberry imagery, so it made me think of you, Straw B. :)
Thanks so much Denise....and no...but I will certainly go and have a look see quickly! ;-)
DeleteGorgeous layout Denise... I had never seen the one word till last week and I love it.. one of the blogs that I visited had put the words for each year onto a tag and hung it up so that she could keep track of her words and I loved that idea...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Val and wow...what a great idea! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat was my word for 2012 ;-) I love how you scrapped your word. Embrace life in all it's richness this year...and embrace all that life holds for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful word to set your sights on for the year, thanks for sharing your journaling. Your page is really beautiful! So glad you joined us at OUAS!!
ReplyDeleteGreat word for 2013 Denise and a beautiful LO.. adore the colours and your masked background!! Thanks so much for sharing with us at OUAS.
ReplyDeleteWow.... this is magnificent, the photographs are so nice too Denise, and I love the colour of your hair!!
ReplyDeleteP.S You need to send me your address :-)
Very pretty Denise! Love all your layering!! All the best for 2013!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Denise - I love how you've unified the two parts, while still keeping the idea in each cluster separate (If that makes sense, lol!) Colour combo is awesome :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous page with great colors! Thank you so much for playing along with us at OUAS!
