Hi Artsy friends! Do you always use a photo on your pages? For this one, I didn't. I used a picture from the kit. It was more about the journey or process for this page. I started with the white paper and knew I needed to get some color on there! I started with some Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gold Texture Luxe brushed on the right hand side. I then used the marker to color on a non-stick mat and added water to create a puddle. I pressed the paper onto the puddle and allowed it to go where it was pressed. Serendipity!
I loved the papers and wanted to create layers of shapes. So, I cut 3 pieces using Cricut's Close to My Heart Artbooking cartridge. I chose different sizes for each layer. When layered,they create different levels of shapes and positive/negative space relationships. I tucked the little card in there to connect the idea of the journey (or process).
I never knew that I would crave exercise. Actually, I avoided it. Sweat, sore muscles, and time were my excuses. I just didn't know how much I needed it. Once I got passed the difficult start, I was hooked. I need it everyday! Now, my dream includes setting fitness goals and breaking through them. I've run up to 6 miles and my speed is faster than I thought I'd ever go! My body is changing in a positive way and my mind is clear and focused when I run. It's not just about goals, it's about being healthy and getting what my body needs.
Who would have thought that I'd be doing this 2 years ago. I started this journey a year from March and I have achieved more than I thought I could. I am setting new goals, however scary they are (can you say 1/2 Marathon?) and I will achieve them! I am confident now that I can!
What dreams do you have that you set but really didn't know if you could achieve them? How do you feel when you do achieve them? It's amazing what achieve a goal does for your self-confidence and mind!
