My layout for Itinerary #3

My layout for Itinerary #3 was fun to do! I love the travel theme, so I just had to do something with it. And then I won these great collage sheets from Cemerony today during the Dutch chat and I new I had to create this imanigary me with it for my layout. The houses and blocked floor and the long arm with hand are also from this set. The other stuff is all from Tangie Baxter.

Itinerary #3 and Parcel #3

The verb of Itinerary #3 is Travel and the Simply Started is I Wonder... but we can also chose to work with one of the three quotes.

Parcel #3 looks like this:

My layout for Itinerary #2

And here's my layout for Itinerary #2. I chose to work with the Simply Started "I Can..." prompt, because I think we can a lot more if we believe in ourself and say I Can more often.
I used different kits from Tangie Baxter at Scrapbookgraphics.

For my layout for Itinerary #1 I used the I Want, the simply started itinerary. When I saw the new set Gimme A Hand from SherrieJD I just had to do something with the hand with the scissors. This new kit is available at Deviant Scrap.
The other stuff is from Tangie Baxter.

Itinerary #1 and Parcel #1

Well, after my page with my word of the year, it's time to start with the real itineraries!

My cover for 2011.

I just finished the front and back cover for my 2011 Art Journal. I changed the size to a smaller size than the standard 3600 x 3600 layouts I did last year. I wanted to try something else and the new backgrounds from Tangie are a perfect start for my cover!

OK, let's start with the 2011 Art Journal Caravan!

OK, let's start with the 2011 Art Journal Caravan!
I finished all my 2010 layouts, and thought to start with Itinerary 1 when I found out there also has been posted a Quest!

So I've decided to start with that. The quest is to choose one word for the year 2011. My word for 2010 was Explore, it was all about exploring new techniques, but also explore what's all inside of me. Ending with my layout for itinerary 52, a page about myself and how happy I am with myself!
So now I only have to think about my goals for 2011 and try to find a word for it!
