One Little Word....NEW

I am taking a class with Ali Edwards called One Little Word http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/classes/onelittleword2013/? The first assignment was to make 12- 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch cards with your intentions/action for the next 12 months. Since I seem to have a problem following the rules I preceded in my own way with two of my favorite mediums...fabric and thread.

I first lightly glued, then sewed the fabric to the card stock.

I then printed words and intentions on  ink jet printer fabric

and randomly placed them on the cards and sewed them down

I glued decorative card stock to the back where in the months to come I will be able to record my actions.

I chose  some photos of my self (part of the assignment) and some hearts...my favorite shape.

I must say at first I was not looking forward to doing this assignment. But I found once I let go and interpreted if in my own way I really enjoyed the processes.

I am looking forward to a year of NEW

Beyond Beyond

It is a new year of fun and inspiration  in Kim Klassen's Beyond Beyond Class http://www.beyondlayers.net/registrationoptions/. I learned so much from Kim last year and meet some wonderful online friends, who have so inspired me, that I knew I had to partake again this year.

Kim challenged us to go out and play and to look at things from different angles. Since it was one degree here in northern Michigan I was 'forced' to shoot inside....not my best area of expertise. But, that being said I had fun.

I decided that I want to play with my new Lensbaby Composer Lens. FUN FUN FUN! It does have a bit of a learning curve but OH!... the possibilities..... I am hooked!

I am participating in two online adventures this year ( well, OK many but here are two of them). The first one is One Little Word with  Ali Edwards at Big Picture Classes http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/overview.php . The word you choose is yours for the year. My word....NEW.

Some of my intentions for the next year are New Me, New Adventures, New chapter, New Camera, New Classes, New Priorities, New friendships.

 

The second online endeavor is the 52 in 2013 flickr group http://www.flickr.com/groups/2115564@N20/ . A theme is chosen once a week. You then take a photo that week relating to the theme. Guess what the first week theme was ? Yep NEW !

I had decided on my word before I knew this. What a inspiring sign.

 

 

2013 is going to be a great year full of NEW !
