Layout: My Interpretation

When given the make a project kit challenge, I just collected a bunch of pretty paper and embellishments with little thought to the photos I have on hand. As always, I left it to chance and that I would "figure something out". And, I'm thrilled to say, I did. I have joined the challenge blog: The Four and a couple of weeks back I took the photo on the layout as a result of their fourth challenge. I really like the photo and completely forgot that I had made a print:

Cardstock: Bazzill; Printed Paper: My Minds Eye; Flowers: Bazzill; Buttons: Basic Grey; Rub Ons: My Minds Eye; Floss: Bazzill; Font: Cambria

I think it turned out pretty well.

Now, I have to come up with a second layout to complete the challenge. Wonder what other photos I have lying around!

The Four: no. 4

Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain,
Unravelled from the tumbling main,
And threading the eye of a yellow star:
So many times do I love again.

~ Thomas Lovell Beddoes

My photo interpretation:

The Four: no. 3

“Time stands still best in moments that look suspiciously like ordinary life.”

Thank you so much to my virtual friend Sherri who is so jazzed about The Four. I'm so happy to join her on this journey.

What is The Four? From their site:

"The Four is a collaboration project which will incorporate photos, poetry and/or a prose response to a bi-weekly challenge.

Four Canadians living in four diverse regions living four distinct lives. Connected by a love of photography, a desire for deeper expression, belief in the power of collaboration and heart's connection."

By happy coincidence, I am participating in Unravelling: Ways of Seeing My Self e-course taught by the lovely Susannah Conway. Through this first week of the course, I happened to take, what I consider to be, the perfect photo for this The Four assignment.

I am really enjoying these challenges and courses. I think my photography, writing and scrapbooking is improving greatly. Just as energy encourages more energy: creativity encourages more creativity.

And there's always that bit about synchronicity.

(I originally posted this on my Lemons2Lemonade blog, but I'm thinking I should keep all creative endeavours on this blog instead. After all, that's why this one was started!)
