Implied movement with circles

I am adoring circles right now and for this

page I broke out my circle scissors and totally went to town.

I used a couple of the Basic Grey papers that was double-sided 

and made a bunch of various sizes.

 If you'll notice the top of the orange/white mat I wanted to

make this a pocket, and in laying it all out and not

wanting the circles to move out of place, and of course without thinking,

I slapped WET GLUE on the back of those mats.

 Sigh.

But it looks cool. 

Since there's alot going on I decided to keep

the embellies to a minimum.

 And of course the photo - it made me laugh.

And then the title just popped into my head.

It really couldn't be helped.

The alphas are from an old line - LilyKate. 

I just love how BG works together no matter how old 

the lines are.

Re-igniting the mojo - Just Mist

Starting out 2015

with a leftover from 2014.

And thats okay - this page sat on my desk for WEEKS.

It appears that the last 2 weeks of the year

became an unintentional hiatus from creating anything

and it appears that may have been a well needed break.

And seriously at the end of the year- everyone is busy busy busy

so I felt it was a good time to break and not feel guilty (in my head)

about not finishing up with the M-F posts.

In between travels, and then on travels, my personal goal in 2014 was 

to blog M-F and I met that goal.

It was fun to know that I had the discipline to do it.

I don't know if I'll be continuing that in 2015 because

seriously - its not like life is hanging in the balance if I don't do M-F posts.

And maybe some change is in the air about the blog,

or maybe not. 

One thing hasn't changed is my ability to make snap decisions. 

:)

Recapping that this page sat forever on my desk and it did.

I kept rearranging the photos and do-dads to no avail.

I decided to clear everything off and mist.

Mists are freeing and somehow just that small maneuver

can unlock the block.

 That netting started on the page, was swept off and returned.

The photos actually baffled me because there are 5 I want to get on there.

4 2x3 and 1 4x6.

 I lined them up like little soldiers and then tried to clump them in a wad, artfully.

Vertical, horizontal. Arrgghhh..

 Once I decided that the mists changed the look - 

 none of that strict-in-a-row stuff need apply.

So once the photos found a place - the clusters began.

I wanted to document these photos because it was my BIL and SIL's

first official party-down event since they moved to Florida

and also, it had been awhile since we attended the Venice Christmas boat parade.

We had all the comforts of home 

so how could a good time not be had by all.

Studio Calico, Shimelle date stamp added to the clusters, Basic Grey alphas,

netting because its a beachy water thing, and stars - for night time.

And the word strips for journaling says it all.
