Winter is getting long. Tired of being cooped up inside. (However, I am enjoying my creative inspiration lately!) So ready for spring. It's so cold here, and it's going to get colder!
So glad I have The Documented Life Project to occupy my time this winter. I am having a blast with it! I always have created my own style of planner, but it's been fun to add more art to it, instead of just doodles, etc. I thought I would share my first 5 weeks with you.

Front cover of my 2014 Planner using a Moleskine Weekly Planner
 |
| Moleskine weekly journal, covered journal with collaged vintage pages, circle stencils, pieces of paper doilies, acrylic paints, black India Ink and Bic White Paint Marker |
I decided to leave all the pages inside the journal. I glued the extra pages together in the front of the book to make them more sturdy. I wanted to be able to paint and collage on them, so they needed some extra bulk.
Inside front page
I used various scrap paper, stickers, washi tape, and stamps. I also had painted a bluebird on a vintage book page using Koi watercolors. I glued it on the page.
Miscellaneous page
Church bulletin cover, washi tape, misc. scrap papers
Stepping up and out this year. Trying new things, discovering new places, serving others and enjoying life more in 2014. This is a visual reminder to myself.
My word for 2014 is: FEARLESS. My scripture focus is
