the documented life project - weekly challenge 10

Welcome to Week 10 of The Documented Life Project!

March 1 - Make a List of What Makes You YOU!

This challenge was another favorite of mine, so far. I LOVE making lists. I intended to create just that - a hand written roll of who I am. As I worked on my draft I received a phone call. Naturally, I began to doodle, and by the time I hung the phone up, I knew my LIST had gone from that registry of words to a series of words and images.

I have been faithful to my self imposed spending halt and am using LOTS of things I usually use for my Project Life Pages. I love the combination of letter squares, rub-on's and decorative stamps. As my idea morphed from just words to more, I saw the need for more space and took a cue from a past challenge- adding a flap to a flap.

As my flaps unfolded I could add more things that make me ME to the back side as well. I prettied up the edges with colorful washi tape.

 I loved seeing all those odd bits of "old" stuff transformed into something beautiful as they came together.

I used the lined journal page to add even more text - a running list of I LOVE....

Want to know what makes me ME? photographs. counting. collecting. family. recycling. vision trouble. faith. writing. creating. being a mom. cats. birds. art. light and windows. my children. home. travel.

I can't wait to fill in the calendar side of my planner this week! Look for a peek soon!

Wow oh wow! I have loved all of your pages but this one is filled with "YOU". The colours, the doodles, the sketchily outlined circles and even the famous feather. Well done! I am sooo glad I turned off my laptop and charged my studio as soon as the challenge was revealed. If I'd have seen this before I started my own, I would have been unable to come up with my own vision. Thank you for always inspiring!!! xxx

[Aileen Martinez]

i just love the whole thing...colours, text, collages etc. Am enjoying getting to know you ladies.

[Suzanne Bouchard]

I love your flapped pages. Being a list lover myself, I find very pleasing to the eye the fact that you used differents types of letters and colors to write your list. Beautiful!

[Rae Missigman]

Thank you ALL for your sweet words! I had such fun with this challenge and am so happy to inspire you all in some small way to document alongside of me and the rest of Art to the 5th!
