Project Life Idea: Inspiration Boards

 

It's January again - the time when most of us are motivated to write resolutions, goals and dreams for the year...

Glad that I had a four-day vacation on the 1st week of January, I had time to update my inspiration boards (Check out the "Before" photo here)

This "new-year" project was inspired by Joel Osteen's new book, You Can, You Will. 

Here's an excerpt from the first chapter, titled "Keep Your Vision In Front Of You":

"Studies tell us that we move toward what we consistently see. You should keep something in front of you, even if it's symbolic, to remind you of what you are believing for. All over your house, you should have pictures that inspire you, verses that encourage you, mementos that strengthen your faith."

After reading that chapter, I began collecting magazine clippings/photos that remind me of my goals, and went through my Project Life collection & selected filler cards with positive messages.  (Every kit has one!) Shown in the photo are the cards that I used, from various kits.  I'm so excited for the Inspire Edition to be released, will definitely add cards from that kit!

Each of my boards has a theme. "Create more", "Dream more" and "Have A Great Day".

 

 1. "Create more" board
- a reminder for me to never stop doing what I love, to practice and create everyday

- consists of my personal craft project list, a picture of a clutter-free room, and my hand-lettered assignment from Fozzy Dayrit's Lush Letters workshop
- Project Life cards: Midnight Edition, Coral Edition, Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Party Mini Kit, Heidi Swapp Dreamy Edition, Amy Tangerine Plus One Mini Kit


      

2. "Dream more" board 
- my vision board
- clippings from magazines, flyers
- printed a photo from the #cha2015 Instagram feed -- attending a CHA trade show is one of my bucket list items!
- Project Life cards: Dazzle Mini Kit, Midnight Edition, Heidi Swapp Dreamy Edition, Amy Tangerine Plus One Edition, Dear Lizzy Daydreamer Mini Kit, Wellington Mini Kit, Good Times Value Kit

3. "Have a Great Day" board 
- postcard from Papemelroti, my "one little word",  pretty handmade calendar from Dette, reminders
- Project Life cards: Jade Edition, Midnight Edition, Dear Lizzy Daydreamer Edition, Kiwi Edition, Dazzle Mini Kit

Love how the Project Life cards' colors "popped out" from the black background! If you're wondering where I got these black "boards"... these are actually picture frames that I bought from SM Megamall. I wanted the black square magnetic boards that are often featured in The Container Store catalogs, but I couldn't find similar ones here in Manila. To copy the look, I placed black sheets of paper inside the photo frames. I used Scotch Magic tape to adhere the cards and photos to the frames so that the sticky residue wouldn't be so visible.
