Behind the Scenes with Diana


Hello everyone! Diana here with an little peek into one of my layouts from this month's Respect kit. Here is the layout I will discuss.



What prompted you to pick this take on respect ?

In today's busy world, I tend to focus on getting through the day. I often forget to focus and enjoy the little things in life. Time is my mortal nemesis and often causes me to miss what is truly important in my life. Being a single mom, my kids and job are very important to me. I often miss out on the day to day, something that I am determined to capture and document in my layouts whenever I can.
 

Why did you choose this photo?

I happened to capture this photo while my daughter was putting together a puzzle all by herself. Times like these pass us by so quickly and before you know it, our kids are adults. This picture has caused me to respect time and how important it is to capture and enjoy all the little moments in life.
 
How do you feel about the message of your layout?

I feel that this layout signifies my respect for time passing by and to make sure to enjoy all the moments I possibly can. 
 
What symbolism did you pull into your design?

I have two items that symbolize time and respect. The first is the piece of a clock you see next to the picture. This symbolized a piece/section of time. The notebook paper punch is used to symobilize a piece of the story in time. Kind of like when you write about your day in your journal.
  
Tell us a little bit about how you feel now that you have "let it all out" on this page. 

I feel that this has open my eyes on respecting time. To pay attention to everything around me and to be thankful for every moment that I have.

I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my creation process. Don't forget to stop by my blog and say hi!

Behind the Scenes with Nicole



Today we have our resident clean and simple gal, Nicole Martel, on the blog; sharing a little more "behind the scenes" info about one of her layouts. It's our hope that these posts will help inspire you and give you a glimpse of the process and why we find this so valuable in our lives. Thanks for sharing Nicole!



What prompted you to pick this take on respect ?
I wanted to vent a little about how I am dis-respected on a regular basis. Working with the public is a tough job most days!

Why did you choose this photo?
I think the photo shows a little attitude to fit the mood of the layout.

How do you feel about the message of your layout?
I think that people need to be nicer and maybe more aware how their actions affect others… There’s so much negativity nowadays that it’s exhausting sometimes. Maybe people are so used to being the way they are that they don’t see it anymore…



What symbolism did you pull into your design?
I decided to use lots of layers to represent the amount of negativity I get on a daily basis. The layers represent the amount of dis-respect I receive every day from people I come in contact with.

Tell us a little bit about how you feel now that you have "let it all out" on this page. 
I feel relieved that I got it out of my system. It feels good to get my frustrations out on paper, rather than go off on someone.

Respect Yourself - Be Inspired!

"To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, singular power of self-respect."
Joan Didion


Aaaah... respect.  Respect yourself. Respect others.  Respect Mother Earth.  Respect your elders.  Respect life.  Respect death.

Without respect, what kind of life would we live; what kind of world would we be living in?

Let's start getting those creative juices flowing.  Get inspired!  Respect your creativity.  Check out some of these respect-inspired tunes and start feeling the power of respect!
















Ah, that last one from the cast of Glee is so powerful...what a great message to kids who are routinely bullied... respect yourself and the rest will follow! Welcome to the weekend... how will you show or celebrate Respect today?  Head on over to the Inside Out Inspiration Page for more fun music and other pieces of respectful inspiration.
