operation 01: BALANCE

so last night i made my first page for my PAPER ADVENTURE book, and by popular demand (ok 3 very friendly & encouraging fellow paper adventurers who left comments!) i've decided to post these as i go along. this is actually from last tuesday's assignment (i didn't find out about the project until the end of last week, so i am still catching up!) the prompt was to make a page about BALANCE and what it means to me. well, that's easy: i am probably the least balanced person ever... (lol!) ...so that's what i wrote about.

(alphas: all my memories, 3 bugs, making memories, scrapbook wizard, wild asparagus; stickers: ki, daisy d's, cloud 9 design; rubs: hambly, making memories

i intended to have the "artsy part" and the "wordsy part" be next to each other, but when i finished my little word sculpture i realized that it sort of illustrated the point better to have it only take up half the page and be a bit crookedy. (gotta love a great visual metaphor when it smacks you in the face, right?!) so i cut out around it (in retrospect i wish i had TORN around it; ah well...) and journaled on the back.

text reads: HA! not a concept with which i am overly familiar! physically, i am klutzy & uncoordinated; mentally, i am either obsessed or uninterested; emotionally, i have more swings than a playground! luckily i have another 40 years or so to get the hang of it!

the second assignment was posted this morning and can be read about here.
