This is such an exciting post! I get to give away one of the new April kits from Scrapbook Circle!
It is called Bucket List and is FULL of so many gorgeous, richly colored papers that are bound to inspire.
I thought as my Giveaway I would make you work for it a little! :) For my layout I wanted
to highlight some things in my personal "bucket list." A combination Bucket List / New Year's
Resolution / Lentil sacrifice page to remind me of my hopes and goals for myself.

I did use the "Places To Go" Add-On for April which has these awesome gold arrows from Freckle Fawn!
I loved all the inspirational quotes and phrases in this Fancy Pants collection. Not to get too symbolic,
but so many of these phrases were appropriate to inspire me to make this page about myself...

I also used the Scrapbook Circle stencil from the October kit to highlight a few clusters of die-cuts.
I tried to keep with that shape of divided circles...that led me to the pie chart. I starting thinking
that maybe our lives are one big pie chart, and knowingly or not, we compartmentalize and
allocate pieces of our life into sections...I know I do!

Ohhhh Jenni! Love this layout! Great pie chart, colors and love the quote!!
ReplyDeleteBalance is something that I focus on everyday. When I "choose" to let go of the little things, I find more balance in my life. It really is amazing the difference it makes!
Great giveaway! I love kits and the SC kits look like so much fun to play with.
So generous of you!
Love your layout! Fabulous design. I love the pie chart. Balance is something I'm have been heavily focusing in on lately. It can be touch. I leave myself notes and triggers around the house to remind myself to move toward a balanced life. Thanks for the chance to win. I've been a follower for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the layout! The colors, composition, everything, its beautiful! I have to tell you that I have not been able to find balance in my life lately - I have alot going on but I have found that taking a minute or two to take a few deep breaths helps. I love scrapbooking but haven't had the time. I'll have to work on that!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteOK, you know I follow...FABULOUS prize, btw....loooove your compartmentalized circles....me? I dunno.....I just take a deep breath each morning & dive in! I do know I cannot live without my a/diary for everyday doings & b/calendar desk chart for all scrappy activities...or for that matter, my Scrappy Book, where I put all my challenges, DT committments etc in....so I guess I manage by being super organised!! Organisation -> balance, in my case!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute page, Jenni!!! I love the pie chart and the stitching looks ah-mazing! I definitely balance my life with scrapbooking. Sometimes music is a getaway for me too. And taking a walk or drive on a pretty day is a great way to balance my life/ day... always makes it better! :) Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteYour layout is stunning!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteFor me it is so hard to find balance these days...there is a lot on my plate!!! I try to take things one at a time and prioritize. Family always comes first but I try to find some time, at least once a month, to meet with my scrappy friends and enjoy some scrapbooking time with them (and a few glasses of wine!). That renergizes me! :)
Thanks for the chance!
When I get overwhelmed with life, I take a walk outside. Something about the fresh air and scenery just relaxes me and clears my head. I feel rejuvenated and ready to get back to my life with a new perspective. Thanks for sharing your layout and for the chance to win the kit!
ReplyDeleteAwesome page Jenni! For me to maintain balance I take a lot of time out for "ME", try to see the positive side vs the negative side of things, as well as surround myself around positive and happy family and friends!
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering this wonderful giveaway!
