You may remember my word is BALANCE.
Here is my self portrait. Not the most flattering but for now I wanted a natural make up free one. I'd like one to suit the word more but need to go out somewhere special to capture that shot, so this page will change:
And here is my divided page introducing BALANCE:
MY FIRST PAGE FOR 2011
Although I have created a number of layouts this month I actually file them chronologically. So all photos from 2010 are in a 2010 album, even if they were created this year, or next etc.
But this is the first photo of 2011 I printed at home. I wanted to use the ideas from Scrapbooking from the Inside Out who give great thoughts for deeper pages than the usual document-that-event kind. For January the prompt is REFLECTION. So I used a photo of myself taken in the mirror. As this was a 'start the year' off page I reflected on the past year and how I'd like things to be different this year. I journalled this as a note to self, as if I had written it in the steam of the mirror. I used my November GoGo kit for this page and wanted the embellishments to have the feel of unlocking my potential and escaping into freedom...
Have a great weekend everyone!

Such a pretty page! I love the combination of products you have used and the colours are lovely. I like the idea of reflection - I don't do that enough.
I think the word Balance is great - so many meanings and interpretations for it and I intend to do my yearly layout for my word soon. I love what you are doing to keep the word alive for yourself.
Well done for getting so much done. I love your "reflection in the mirror" idea for your page. V.good.
I chose a "word" this year - instead of NY resolutions, I went with an "Intention" as I did last year. Last year it was to take all opportunities that I was offered/could make for my work (I did ok with that). This year, I chose a word - which is .... "Balance"!!! I need more balance between my own needs and the demands put on me by others' needs. A challenge... but I like challenges!
Good luck with your One Little Word project. I like the start you've made so far.
