Journaling:
I've always loved flowers, right from when I was little enjoying the flowers my dad grew in the garden, the times I worked in flower shops and throughout my adult life since. I've not always had the cash to treat myself to them and, even when I had, I struggled with the guilt of spending it on something so seemingly frivolous. My mum knew this and would often arrange for bouquets to be sent to me for my birthday or even just to cheer me up when I was really down. Now I've no longer got my mum to treat me like this it's time for me to treat myself. My promise to myself for 2023 is that I will bring joy into my life with a bunch of flowers in the house every month.
What a great choice for yourself to bring flowers into your house every month. The kit and colors you picked to go along with your picture are PERFECTION.
 
I love all your LOs, but this one is even more exceptional than your usual perfection! So fresh, so happy! I literally could use this LO as my MOC Day 1 "Finding Joy" It completely shows off the photo in such a great way without overpowering. A yellow heart -- I would never think of that in a million years! and the text is just lovely. PM your address to me at the beginning of April and I'll overnight a bunch of daffodils to you!
 
Yes!! I think so many of us can relate to this. I hope your year is full of love and beautiful flowers!
 
I love your journaling and page!!! The yellow is so bright and cheerful!! Cheers to a great 2023!
 
oh Susane (I can never remember how you spell it, apologies if I am getting it wring) if you lived a tiny bit closer, I would send you some every week!!! we have a market in Camden in Inverness St every Thursday and when Sarita gets out of work late afternoon when she has day shift, the stall holders from the flowers give her the ones that can not be taken back, they last me at least 4 days.... and there is another market on Fridays nearer us, the lady knows me she used to give me some freebies when I was still up and about, I will find out if we have someone driving up north (which I assume is where you are? Middlands?) and will get them to you somehow :) Anyway, the page, as usual with you, is lovely, beautiful take on the template, great, gorgeous shadows, love the word art there and the journaling is in my hearty, all together fabulous as you always do!!!!!!!!
hope you guys had a great Christmas, Happy New Year!!!!!
Thank you so much for playing with us!!!
 
I LOVE those flowers! this page is so fresh and happy...love the design here with the text in the same shape as the photo!
 
LOVE love love all the pops of yellow! What a perfect page :) And the vertical line that "transforms" into dots next to the journaling is such a great touch!
 
What a special sentiment to yourself! I, too, have a love for fresh flowers, and struggle to purchase them - I get you :) Beautiful page; I hope you follow through with your promise! Thanks for playing!
