what's next

yay! it's friday. i'm going to have a very busy weekend, with the possibility of working the whole thing, but it's still friday which i love.

wanted to share another layout with you guys.  i'm always looking all around me for inspiration for layouts. i saw a recent post on a forum asking if you know your scrapbooking style yet...i definitely feel i'm beginning to create layouts that i love. i like a mix of the modern w/ some florals/butterflies/doilies.  some days i lean more modern such as when i created this layout.

i found the photo and knew i wanted to do some kind of pop of color to set off this bw photo. first i remembered pinning this page, specifically the layout with the washes of color blocking. i have quite a few mister huey's but some colors i just don't reach for every time and this gave me a chance to use those. i did get a bit stumped as to a title, so i just grabbed a magazine i had and started flipping through it looking for some words to jump out at me. i ran across this title "what's next" and loved the font/color and so i just clipped it out to use for the title. i can soooo see myself doing this a lot more often. this is one of my favorite layouts i've created.

it says 2011 because that's when the photo was taken...

the journaling says - "what's next?...that's the question that keeps popping up in my head and in my prayers. sometimes i feel that my life is currently in some holding pattern. i am trying to learn to look beyond that question and to start living my life truly fully in every moment of everyday!"
