OMGosh - i can't believe it's the last day of August!

Daily Card Journal:

The perfect day off:
10am - Wake Up
10-Noon - web surf, talk with Sarah and parents, play with doggies
Noon-3: Scrapbook with this cool DCWV paper I got yesterday!
3 - Cuddle and take semi-nap with doggies
4 - Scrapbook More!!

Another in the series of my diet introspective :)

Journal:
08.30.07 --> 7 weeks and 17 pounds!
Today I realized I no longer pop ibuprofen and Tums like candy. I don't grunt when I stand up. I LOVE to walk and I feel like my smile is now real.

Homage to one of my all-time favorite bands, Beastie Boys. I saw them on TV today, and hadn't thought about them in awhile so I thought that merited a card :)

Journaling:
Today I saw the Beastie Boys on TV and audibly squeeled like it was 1992. They, well Yauch, put me on a life path of spirituality and joy like no other.

Deets:
lots of acrylic paint,
Dymo labels
packaging tape transfer
lyrics from one of my favorite B-Boy songs, Namaste:

And then a voice spoke in my head
And she said dark is not the opposite of light
It's the absence of light
And I thought to myself
She knows what she's talking about
And for a moment I knew
What it was all about.

Might have as well made this a daily card for august 11 if i were doing the cards back then.
instead a 12"x12" layout that i think rocks almost as hard as muse.


Journaling:
Don't Waste Your Time or Time Will Waste You...
- Muse in Boston 08/11/07

This was my 16th Muse show and although it wasn't their best, I was still reminded that through the fear of death and destruction, there's always hope for a mind full of peace and joy, to be your best because the time is now, and most importantly that tonight we can truly say together we're Invincible.

My journaling:
I've been on such a creative high it only makes sense I need to chill and experiment with what I've learned. Can't get to the future without experiencing the present.

today's horoscope put it perfectly.



Deets:
Acrylic paint.
Ink with Fancy Pants stamps,
bottle cap embellishment made with Diamond Glaze (yes that's a picture of Marilyn in it)
scraps of paper and buttons

it's not a card, but an important step in my evolution as a scrap-artist.
yeah, that's what i said, scrap-artist.

12"x12" layout.
probably the most personal and inspired one i've ever made.
EVER.

closer look:


Journaling:
"It's all a balancing act. calories in. calories out.
calories are just a measurement of energy.
they're NOT an emotion. it's science and math.
i have been conditioned psychologically to think of calories as a dirty naughty word and anything regarding calories entering my system as shameful and embarrassing.
i need the energy calories give me, but not in excess, and when i do happen to ingest more than what my body needs, well, it's just math NOT a persecution of my willpower, just get up and move NOT sit on the couch and whine about it."

"Today I almost bought my first art history book about Collage. I have decided I have found my niche. Then I got sad thinking I may be too old to study it, then I decided I didn't need to study it, I just need to do it!"

Used my brand new just out of the package Bampop stamps!! Yea!
And I probably would've bought the book anyways had it not been $40.

OLW challenge entry: Seek.

This morning, the only thing that could get me out of bed was thinking if I didn't, I wouldn't have time to do my morning walk!

best.
horoscope.
ever.
