Inviting Action - One Little Word Blog Hop
I'm taking part in Ali Edwards One Little Word class at Big Picture Classes again this year. I think that the idea of selecting a word for the year is so much a part of my new year tradition now that I'd do it even without the class, but I love the little nudge towards creativity this class provides each year...and the accountability the blog hop provides.
My word for 2013 is action. I had a lot of fun with the prompt/assignment for this month. I tried to come up with 12 phrases that used the word action in them that also summarized some big goals I have for this year. A few are a bit of a stretch, but overall I'm pretty happy with them. Each card was made with a hand made stamp with the word action on it and then the phrase for that month was stamped in red using a simple set of letter stamps. I added patterned paper and some little artistic details to the cards. I may go back in and replace one or two of those with photos, but my printer was acting up so I just went with cards for now.
As I was arting up the pages, butterflies seemed to be grabbing me. I had no idea how many butterfly stamps, stickers, etc. I had until I started putting this together. This is one of my favorite details.
I look forward to the adventures with the word action this year - and to seeing what amazing memories I can create. Please enjoy visiting the rest of the blogs on this month's blog hop.
