Uniquely Me...14 Things in 2014

The January challege at My Mind's Eye at http://mymindseye.typepad.com/blog/ encouraged me to take time to look at what 2014 might mean to me. I know it will be filled with changes and I was so glad I spent a little time to put on paper what will be important to me this year. What my list ended up being is a nice mix of taking care of me and serving others! It should be a wonderful year! Here is my interpretation!

Products used:

Patterned paper and chipboard- My Mind's Eye

The weather has been the main topic of conversation for the last few weeks in our area. The Polar Vortex has taken it's toll on this warm-weather loving girl! But I must say, I do love to take pictures of the snow and find it very beautiful! This LO features a few pics in front of my house. The inspiration for this LO came from the sketch at Scrap Africa at http://scrapafrica.blogspot.com/.

Sunshine...Freedom...Flower

The LO I created today was inpsired by the sketch at Stuck?! at

http://stucksketches.blogspot.com/. There are times when I like to use multiple pictures on a LO and this was a great sketch to work with for that reason. My LO features pictures of a few of my spring flowers. After the frigid temperatures and large amounts of snow we have had so far this winter, I am certainly ready for spring!

Us

        This LO was created using the inspiration and sketch from Let's Get Sketchy at http://letsgetsketchy.blogspot.com/.
One thing I love about using sketches is it really jump starts my creativity! I took the sketch and turned it sideways to start my LO. The picture in this LO features my two youngest daughters and was taken in April, 2013, at the graduation of my third daughter. It was a great time of celebration that was enjoyed by two of her sisters and several other family members!

Here is ths sketch:

Perfect Moments

Starting the new year off right today by working on a few challenges sponsered by my favorite scrapbook sites. Today I am sharing a LO that I created based on the inspiration and sketch from Flying Unicorn at http://flyingunicornforums.com/.  I love the Mojo Monday sketches!

 

The Sketch

My Interpretation

 

 

I had planned on using some of the snow pictures I had taken recently but with the sub-zero temperatures we are currently experiencing it made me a little colder just looking at the pictures! So with the sun shining through the window in my scrap room I started looking at my spring flower pictures and for at least a moment I felt a little warmer! This LO features a picture of my rhododendron that bloom in late spring.

Paper and collectibles- Kaisercraft- Violet Crush collection

Flowers- Prima and Petaloo

Chipboard circle-Leaky Shed altered with Gesso primer and Kaisercraft stamp
