One Little Word - June

 Please ignore the messy desk.

 I really liked this months prompt, Creative Play.  It was just pure fun to get out paints and spray inks and just play!

 I tried out some new techniques.  The pink bird on the branch has been covered in pink flock.  I stamped in semi-dry paint for a subtle effect and put a rub on ontop.  Used the arrow as a stencil to get the two pink arrows next to the chevron overlay.

One Little Word - May

 Twenty things task/mission/objective/thoughts/stuff to do.... I only used two sheets of cardstock as I did these double sided printed and just used some tissue tape to cover the little ink marks my printer left of the card.

 I really love some of these! Some are easy like 'being nice to everyone apart from the morons etc" and "be a good daughter" and some are more out there like "climb a mountain" and "be tidier"

I just need a photograph or something to go in the top left of the first page protector (near the stamped "remember this" tag).

One Little Word - April

 April was about writing a letter to yourself.

Right now I don't feel like writing much.... The writing was quite easy. Taking the photographs was difficult - I got a lot of the side of the garage door that I was using as a reflective surface.  I stamped on the photographs and machine stitched!!!!!

One Little Action

 Back in Feb I booked a couple days off work in March. It really worked out that this was going to be my Action.

 I wrote before, during and after so had to create a flap pocked to show all those words! And I cut some page protectors to add more photographs of what I did.

 I really enjoyed this month's One Little Word.

OLW February

For this month we had to take photographs of our word. Literal photographs or figurative photographs. It took me a while to figure out how I could photograph FAITH... this month all my word was telling me was that it will be warming up soon and it can't be this freezing cold...

I posted on the Big Picture Classes forum and get some very good thought provoking replies.

I have FAITH that the sun will shine...
I have FAITH that plants etc will grow....
I have FAITH that I won't be stuck in Guernsey forever???....

You can't really see them very well but my nine photographs are:
Top: Patterned paper from Bo Bunny, Our first onion shoot poking up through the ground (now they are huge!!!) Hambly Overlay.
Middle: A beautiful photograph of the clouds with "Faith looks up" spelled with KaiserCraft letters. A framed quote about having "belief in yourself" that my Mom got me years ago. A photograph of the dictionary defination about Faith with quotation marks from American Crafts.
Bottom: My Pinterest Faith board on the laptop with some of the inspiration things in the background. The Bottlebrush plant's new growth and a bit of patterned paper.

My first full page photograph was taken by my Mom.  I wanted to the photograph to include my camera bag since it has a map of the world embroidered on it - faith that I will travel.  I added the journaling in Photoshop then realised that the background was too busy for it to be read easily.  I kept myself in colour and turned the rest to black and white, then I did a test print.... The photopaper is A4 and the page protector is 8.5x11.... I had to chop of the last word in the photograph (interesting.)  so I just stuck it on the bottom right hand side.

Luckily when I was ready to take the photographs the sun was out and the sky was a beautiful blue, so I was able to take a photograph of some lovely clouds.  That window leads to my bedroom.  I chose this photograph because there are some seagulls flying around and it reminds me of the message juliaspencer14 left me on the OLW's message boards over at Big Picture Classes.

Birds flying in the air have faith that the wind under their wings will allow them to soar.

This has actually stuck in my head quite a lot and birds seem to be my word's animal.... 

Now onto March's prompt.
