Viewpoint {Arboretum Elements} by Sara Gleason 

The Viewpoint {Arboretum Elements} are available here separately OR as a part of the complete Viewpoint {Arboretum} collection which includes templates (bare + assembled) + a full alphabet.

Inspired by the stories of where we stand, our viewpoint.  

Our VIEWPOINT is, at it’s most fundamental and authentic level, a point of view. OUR point of view. The vista from which we view our story. And as storytellers and memory keepers we often paint portraits of our viewpoint without even realizing that’s what we are doing: we share snippets of feeling, we record details of the moment…ultimately we narrate. We craft and record our personal narratives rooted in our personal VIEWPOINT. 

The VIEWPOINT is the vantage point from which a story is told. Some days our vantage point is within the walls of our homes. Other days our vantage point takes us to far off places. As our scene…our view.. changes so does the narrative of our story. The How and The Why of our memory keeping shifts with place and time. There is such a beautiful balance of Where We Stand and Where We Can Go that lives in our VIEWPOINT. Because our viewpoint is a beautiful balance of circumstance and attitude. Of What We See and What We Feel.

The Viewpoint {Papers} coordinate beautifully with the Arboretum {Viewpoint} collection and the Memory Monthly Pockets "Viewpoint" collection for June 2015. 

The Viewpoint {Arboretum Elements} collection specifically includes:

• 12 journal cards (for using as mats, fillers or layering)
