I am so sorry to hear about your job! I will keep you in my prayers...oh and lovely page, I love the symbolism! I have yet to make a "deep" page, if you know what I mean. ;)
Very creative and beautiful! Love the trees! May you find this time peaceful and may you enjoy the rest that you so deserve. May He fill you up and use you again! :)
I loev this whole LO! I really love the trees and owl, I've seen that a lot recently and am wanting to do it myself. :) Love the use of cardboard and how you have journaling throughout in various places so that it blends. Great work!
Love the trees, the distressed cardboard and the design on this layout but I also love the symbolism behind it, and the journalling. Very touching, and something my family can relate to. TFS!
Nothing like a little creative time to stoke your attitude!!! Just threw this one together.....
Very symbolic. It's made on an old piece of cardboard, (probably one that scrapbook supplies came on!) I distressed the cardboard and inked it.... but you'll see that I used some green ink over the "torn" spots to represent healing. There had to be lots of green on the page since that is my fav color and means life to me. The trees are strength, growth and consistency, the little button with the new tree is like starting over, the owl is my higher power keeping watch over me & my family. And the journal paper is from a pad that we used at work for marketing projects. I crumpled it up and inked it to distress it, then purposely placed it behind the trees.
The tree with the fruit on it has the 3 things that I can not function without; Faith, Family and Spirit. I journaled about each of these on the page and placed a small brad next to those words to be a seed. Spirit got a green one to show how that is a major force in allowing me to grow.
And the forest is representative that I am not alone. They are many in this boat with me. Not a good thing, bad for the economy and bad for all of us trying to find a job, but I do realize that while I am unique, I am not alone.
Thanks for looking!
Journaling reads: Changes in life sometimes we find ourselves on a path we did not select... it is those times that the strengths in our lives will help see us through.
Faith gives me hope and the belief that there will be an open window. Family is my whole reason.There is nothing more important. Spirit - no matter what life brings me, I will get through it. I will be smarter, I will be stronger.
I may have lost my job, but I did not lose my spirit. I truly believe I am right where I am supposed to be.
