Here is my layout about my chosen word Happy.I really wish you could see this page for real, as the light this time of year is rubbish & I had a pig of a job getting a picture without the flash refecting off the metal flower. It did catch the brad in the centre of the blossoms but after 6 attepmts you can actually see the rub on quote on the photo!!! Also the lace doesn't show up too well under the title word.
Later today when Ali does her A little Word post up on her blog, I will create a link to it.
I wanted this page to be fresh with clean lines so that the word spoke to the viewer. I used papers from Dena's Closet, rub on words & a "faith" quote by Royal & Langnickel. Blossoms & metal flower, papermania. Crystal brad, Karen foster. Lace from my sewing box. The font for Title, Happy was Queen & Co. fontastic painted with acrylic paints by Dovecraft.
My journalling block was done on computer using the dictionary definition of "happy" (again not clear due to light) & the journalling around the edges were done with a blue Staedtler silver ball 404. They dry instantly so no smudges but don't think they are acid free so should not be used to draw on photos!!

Love the HAPPY colours and LO, and love the pictures! Thank you so much for telling me about Ali Edwards, Paula. What an amazing site. I have joined her newsletter list and have been thinking about what word I wanted to choose for 2007 - have now chosen GENTLENESS. Am being a 'life artist' tomorrow so will see what I can come up with :-D
