Journal Pad: Accept and Change

I’m not sure about you but I spend a lot of time dwelling on things I cannot change.  For example, I beat myself up about choices I made many years ago that are irreversible.  I know I need to stop this self deprecating behavior in order to find inner peace.  I’m getting better, but I still have a long way to go.  Today’s inspiration is this quote I found at Deviant Art.  It is so true.

I used this quote as inspiration for this layout that I recently completed.  For me, this layout is about having the strength to undergo jaw surgery to hopefully alleviate many health related problems I’m having right now.

I hope you find this quote inspirational in your scrapping and your life.  Have a great Monday everyone!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
