Voting is Over and Calmness Now ♥

This post is being written the day of the election in the United States of America.  This has been a very bitter and hard political year.  I am anxious for the results, but hold onto a quote by Abraham Lincoln: We are not enemies, but friends.”  This showed up on my Facebook feed, and I visibly relaxed.
The battle to vote has been a long and hard fight for so many.  To be honest, the day after election is my favorite day.  Gone are the irritating political ads and debates of who should get your vote.  It is over.  Now starts the month of November; where gratefulness and thankful thoughts are celebrated.
So to keep today light, and off the elections and all that they have done to divide, I want to bring us together in this post!
Best Friends? by michele hillam
I laughed right out loud and smiled, as she caught the best idea.  Politics can divide, but with humor, we get to see the fun side of friendship on her quirky themed page:
TrishD page of emotions in a fun subway/wild layout is just stunning to the heart and soul
Creating with a KApoW of color is what drew me, and the energy of this page makes me even forget the RED versus BLUE of the election, I see only happy and rainbows of JOY from RJMJs page:
By now, the arguing voices of cable news, and talking political heads should be out of your thoughts and smiles and wonder filling it instead.  I leave you with the innocence only a happy baby can bring to push out anymore derisiveness! thank you Morgyns for Sam at 2 months!

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.
