In the past few weeks I have tried to take a walk every single day, knowing that it is good for my well-being to get some fresh air and exercise.
I will say that I do feel better after my walk and I have already seen a difference in how I look too. One day a take a half-hour walk and the next I take an hour and 10 minute walk - both through a beautiful forest that is near to where I live.
Along with my daily walk I have started to notice signs of spring along the way - to trees (finally) budding leaves, to all the flowers that are now blooming. When I see something that really strikes me as beautiful I have stopped to snap a photo or two with my phone.
This week I decided to take a couple of my photos and create a scrapbook page - to celebrate the beauty of spring and also to remember that life does go on despite all the tragedy I feel happening in the world. When it came tome to make my scrapbook page I chose colors that matched the colors in my photos:
- Mossy Meadow
- Mint Macaron
- So Saffron
- and a touch of Real Red
I also decided to use some left over Garden Lane designer series paper - the name says it all!
The design of this page was a bit of a challenge but ideas started to flow I knew that I wanted to create some small and some large daisies as embellishments.
Enter my daisy punches!
I don't currently own a printer so for my title, rather than print something I used my Lined Alphabet stamp set and colored the letters in the title with my Mossy Meadow Dark Stampin' Blend.
Here's my final page. I will likely add a journaling box to record not only this time in history but also how I was feeling. These are the times that are important not only to capture but also to remember.
What memories are you capturing at this moment in time and what will you do with them?
