I have combined 2 of this months challenges in my next layout.. I read and reread the rules and it is allowed so I have used the color palette from OFF THE RAILS SCRAPBOOKING which looks like...
(I have used the 3 colors as well as a beachy photo,)and I have combined it with Challenge YOUself January challenge which is..
Challenge YOUrself #14: One Little Word
Choose a word that you will focus on and reflect upon all through the year and create a layout that celebrates your chosen word.
Remember to include YOU in the photo :)
For the last few years I have seen how instead of a new years resolution, people would choose a word for the year to come.. I have always thought about it, but never really committed to a word.. This year I have..
and my layout is about this word...
And my inspiration includes words from one of my favourite songs at the moment.. and I have printed some lines of the song on my photo....
some close ups ...
and there you have my word......
Fear - less...
I love the song Oceans which contains the words..
I will call upon your Name
and keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise my soul will rest in your embrace
For I am yours and You are mine...
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Where ever you would call me...
I want to fear - less, that does not mean I wont be afraid, but I want to have less fear, more courage... with Gods help...
I have put the link up for those who would like to just take a moment and listen to this beautiful song..

ReplyDeleteSo Beautiful Lizzy. A very calming feeling with this layout. I love how you have combined the colours and that is a great word to live by. I usually go and sit in the park at the beginning of the year and think about my word for the year and jot down goals etc. Here it is half way through the first month and still have not done this, it is my mind everyday to do it. Maybe my word should be ~ take time
