First I want to share that I got accepted to the Altenew's Educator Program. Really excited to teach again and to explore more creative ways to combine stamping and lot's of other techniques within my hybrid projects. It's an honor to be a part of a team that's dedicated te learn and pass it forward. We can only be truly happy by sharing. Sharing is Caring, right?
This is a project I feel really connected with. Ali is sharing her knowledge and inviting us to do the work. That's how it should be. As Ali says: "We are all students of life, we all are learning and don't know all the answers". So true ofcourse, coming from a motivational speaker background.
Nobody can do the work for you, they can inspire you, take the leadership but you need to take the action. Only you can do that, nobody can do that for you.
With just one word, a year long we are building our lives. It's not about the album, it's about the journey. Ofcourse the products makes it more fun. Going Hybrid style. And I am loving it.
One little word 2019 is what I am currently dedicated to. I will share my January prompt design pages (it's a lot) in a couple of days. Worked really hard on it and love the way it turned out. But mostly I loved to think about my life and researching my word and what it means to me. Reflecting on my own life. It can be tough. But in the process you learn and grow. That's only possible in our toughest times.
I noticed that I didn't even share my word. The meaning of this word is not in the dictionary. "Nothing in life has a meaning, only the meaning you give to it". Remember this and be gentle with yourself.

This months story kit theme from "Ali Edwards" is "habit". We are looking ways to tell our stories about the habits we have or want to have. Lucky for me I get the digital kit for free so I can create my own photo's and design every month. I am planning to start an album where I will have the place to document the monthly themes and tell as many stories as I can with the products, stamps and the digital kit.
In the process of doing this I already trying to stick with my new habit of Journalling and Photography. These photo's above are shot in the dark and not edited. But I love the way they turned out. The angle is perfect. First pic is of me behind my desk stamping. The second photo by the christmas tree is me, at 5 am in the morning, journalling...
And my journalling looks like this: (this is a shot from last night... )
This is a quick overview, I will be sharing the TLP pocketletter swap I am participating in soon. Right now I am focusing on learning and growing. Behind the scenes there is a lot going on with projects and maybe a spot on an amazing designteam. For now this is what I can share with you.
