One Little Word 2012 {February} Photo Journaling

Our assignment for the month of February in Ali Edwards One Little Word on-line class with Big Picture Scrapbooking was all about "cultivating an awareness of our words in the world by looking through the lens of our cameras"  {Ali says it best ;}

Since I'm already taking loads of photos for my Project Life Album, making the effort to take photos of images that represented "JOY" to me, really just added a new level of consciousness to how I took photos.  This month I have a two page spread {almost three :} for my One Little Word Album. 

Joy Rising In The Studio

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joy is Rising in the studio this week and I'm so Lovin' It that I get to share my latest project, Canvas Create, with you all.  Talk about a perfect way to end a very productive week! 

First I had to clean up my desk and put away all of my scrapbooking materials so that I could set up my painting supplies...I've learned from past spills to just get up off of my butt and put the stuff away ;}

I guess you could say that it is one of the downfalls of having a small studio and living space...but it sure does keep me on my toes.  The benefit of it is that you always know where your stuff is because you have to put everything away after using it...and in my book that is a good thang ;}

It's Turquoise and Pink...JOY...JOY...For My One Little Word Album

Thank goodness it's Friday the 13th!

I could hardly wait to give you a Sneak Peek of what I've been working on in my studio this week.  It's my brand new turquoise album that I got for my One Little Word album...talk about JOY ;}

At first I wasn't even sure if I was going to purchase an album for this project?  But then I decided that I really wanted to enjoy the entire process...the journey...so I wanted an album to match my enthusiasm.  So when I just happened to be in Archiver's earlier this week...with a coupon no less (he, he, he) and I saw this bright turquoise We R Memories binder...and it being the last one of its kind on the shelf...I took it as a clear sign!  Wouldn't you?

My One Little Word 2012: Joy

Last year I participated in the My One Word project by picking the word "Habit" and making a conscious effort, all year long, to establish and maintain habits that would sustain a healthy lifestyle.  I feel like we were very successful but this year I wanted to take this project even further by participating in Ali Edwards One Little Word on-line class with Big Picture Scrapbooking.

Each month you’ll receive a prompt with a simple creative, writing, or photography project and a gentle reminder to check back in with your word. By the end of the year you’ll have compiled the contents of an 8.5×11 album that documents, defines, celebrates and generally makes your word more visible. Workshop materials include printable elements, full-color PDF handouts, and video presentations.

You do NOT need to be a scrapbooker for this class.  We are making an album...but...it’s really more of a journaling/record keeping/thinking/exploring project.   It is up to you as to how you interpret the prompts and make them meaningful for your own life.  This workshop is not meant to be complicated or time-consuming.   The One Little Word classroom opens on January 1, 2012.
