I am amazed at how a thread of consciousness seems to run through the blogosphere and appears just at the precise moment I need it. This months challenge over at GPP Street Team is to show EVIDENCE of your existence in 2007 and journal your blog.
At the new year I told myself I would create a visual journal page everyday this year but have been struggling to do this. I've tried borrowing ideas from others pages that I truly admire, to play with.....to make elements my own.....but it was not until I read this challenge that I was really ignited.
I chose to use this post as I love this image of the orchid and the intent of the words.
I am so excited with the layering of paint and crayon color with the original photo that I plan on doing MANY more. Just this simple little kick in the butt to push me into a direction that really speaks to me....well thanks Michelle!
Stephanie,
Breathtaking colors, really beautiful artwork! I'm so glad I stopped by and will be back soon! Happy New Year! Kathy

Fantastic! How did you do this? Isn't it funny how you will run across something on one of your friends blog, and they were thinking what you were thinking!?!
