But I still wanted to try my hand at a cut and paste and get messy version. That required a trip to the thrift store to pick up some magazines. By choosing only the ones that had blue tickets (blue tickets were 75% off that day), I was able to snag eight different magazines (Oprah, Real Simple, Fitness, Martha Stewart Living, Family Circle, and Everyday with Rachel Ray) for the princely sum of fifty three cents! One evening of clipping in front of the television and a week of play later....
What surprised me about this exercise is that for a gal whose word is "SIMPLE", my creations ended up being anything but! In fact, I think both feel a little chaotic and wild, but in a good way, if that makes any sense. Maybe just a reflection of how my life feels right now. Seeing them together, do you see any themes jumping out at you to which I should be paying attention? Do you prefer one over the other? Why?

I probably won't get to working on this prompt until next month, but I'm in awe of both of your vision boards. I'm drawn to the second one; I think it's the color and the beautiful flowers in the second one that draw me in. Great reminders and messages in both, as well.
You have lots of images of things from nature..thoughts of getting out into the fresh air, maybe?
I know you do digital really, really well but there's something about that second 'messy' one which is full of vibrancy and pizzazz. Another side to you that needs a look-in more often?
I saw butterflies in both your vision boards & are they not representative of change?
I cannot pick which I like better. I have tried vision board creation before but with little to no success. What a great idea to get magazines at the thrive shop .... ummmm.
Your collages are great! They are very inspirational and work with your "one little word" perfectly!
I like your board. I am behind in the lessons and cards but staying active. Need a weekend of catching up.
