Fresh Start for 2012

My word for 2012 is OPTIMISM. I know I worry a lot so I need to stay postive on everything. Here's my layout about my resolutions and hopes for 2012. Its kinda personal so I hid some of my journaling under the photo. This picture was taken last October 2011 during my birthday bash with the LB Scrapaholics.

Journaling; New Year is all about

getting another chance. A chance to forgive, to do better,

to do more, to give more, to love more, and STOP worrying about what if

and start embracing what would be.

What's my inspiration for this layout? Well, its challenge #213 over at Color Combos Galore. I used the lovely colors, and was inspired by the theme and the clock in the photo. Here's what the the challenge is all about...
