My word of the year
For several years now I have been picking a word for the year.
Some past words have really worked for me such as "Believe" and "Breathe"
I had also picked the word" Joy", and then the word "Focus"
The word Focus NEVER worked for me...I always seem to think of it as Unfocused,
Unclear, etc. (The way I was feeling at the time...)
I was having trouble picking a word for this year...so I googled Word of the year,
and a website came up that would help you pick a word of the year by answering a few questions.
The word that came up after that was BLOOM!
(It made me wonder if everyone would be given that word...smile)
I then found a website that offered some free printables like the one I have posted above.
(Forgot to write down the link) I'll try to post the link later...
anyway, I like the positive words on the poster, and I had fun coloring all those "Blooms!"
The link to the free printable that I used can be found here...
https://papercraftsecrets.com.au/
Coloring the free printable was very relaxing and very inspirational. So I decided to try and make my first BLOOM card
My card was made using the wreathe builder technique.
I used a stamp that came with a magazine I had purchased.
"Simply Cards" Issue 191
I colored my blooms with copics...
and my sentiment is a PSX stamp
Stamped with Memento ink.
Remember "Good things are going to happen"
Thank you for stopping by my blog today
Blessings,
Jill

Love that colouring sheet you have used Jill, and what a great word for the year. Mine is Praise (pertaining to God) ... which has been reinforced already!
ReplyDeleteLove your bloom card - that is stunning and ever so pretty
Blessings
Maxine
I never look for inspiration words each year, but it sounds like a fun thing to do. I gave up resolutions long ago and now just take one day at a time and look for good in every day. It's easier that way without putting restrictions on myself. LOVE your bloom card with the pink gingham ribbon. A great way to kick off the year with your inspirational word!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are absolutely beautiful, Jill xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Jill, how absolutely wonderful - we have the same word of the year! I think you will bloom beautifully as He reminds us we all have room to grow, but you are already such a beautiful soul! Love your floral card!
ReplyDeletePretty coloring on the free printable an I love your bloom card - I may have to case it! Many hugz and fun to see you are posting more.
