One Little Word for 2011...

to kick off my scrapping year, i've joined ali edwards' class over at big picture classes called *one little word*...if you fancy joining in...you can find all the details here :0)


the basic premise is to pick a word to think about and ruminate on during the year...seeing where it takes you personally and creatively...my word is grow...and i have high hopes for a ton of personal growth/development as well as creative growth over the coming year.

the word grow instinctively makes me think of plant and animal life, developing before your very eyes...which is why i chose to highlight my word with a bright and hopeful looking flower...to emphasis my hopes...


the flower head is pre~made {prima} but i've created the stem with some ribbon trim and a fine tip glue...topped off with a cute bow made from the remainder of the length of ribbon used to underline my title
***hint***
repeating the use of the same ribbon in two different ways gives extra emphasis and allows you to use up the full length! i love repetition in design, its a slick way to add weight to an idea and creates a comfortable familiarity on a page too :0)
so there it is...the first LO of the year...and not a photo in sight!! lol
