scrappy saturday: hello 2014

{on Sunday}

I got sick this past week.  Being sick sucks.

And because of it, I am behind on all my blog posts for the week.

But that's where a little post dating comes in.  Blogger saves my sick butt!

Be sure to scroll down for this week's crochet posts.

Week 3's scrapbook page is a little ode to my One Little Word: {nourish}

Boy #2 took this photo of me back in the summer.  It's very rare for me to be in front of the camera, but I'm grateful that I had this pic to use for this layout.  

The creativity was running a little dry when I sat down to work on this today, so I looked to my i♥MEMORY.KEEPING board, specifically this pin, for a little inspiration.  I loved Karine's collage of mixed papers at the top third of her layout, and the graphically typographic title in the bottom 2/3rds.  I used papers from one of the American Crafts Dear Lizzy paper packs and coordinating Project Life 5th and Frolic cards.  My title is cut with the Silhouette using Bebas and Mr. Keningbeck fonts.

Thanks for looking.

one little word: nourish

Happy New Year!

I think I've said it before on this little blog, but I love a New Year!

There's just something about the energy of a new year and

an empty calendar.

A new year holds so much hope and possibility.  It's energizing and inspiring.  

It tells us that we can do more, be more.  It's a new beginning, a chance to be better than we were the year before.

This year, my One Little Word {#olw2014} is

A quick look in the dictionary confirmed that this is the perfect word for me in 2014

2014 is my year to nourish: my mind, my body, my soul, my relationships, my creativity

It's my year to nourish my whole being.
