Today was a tough start to the day, thankfully with gratitude, patience, kindness and grace it felt lighter by the end of it.
Left side is a sequinned frame that I made in the lead up to December, the #6 is from Ali Edwards December Daily main kit, the black word stickers are Tim Holtz.
Right side is a page of paper from the Oh Joy Collection by Pinkfresh Studio, folded back so as to create a pocket for my journaling. Gold heart paper clip is Studio Calico, the circle tab to pull out the journaling was cut from an extra photo I had printed of this ornament. To add some gold to the black and white print and balance out the gold from the left page, I used an embossing pen and heat embossed with American Crafts Gold Glitter embossing powder.
Thanks for joining me on this journey, some days are easy and some are just not.
Cheers,
