Finding my word...

Un-crated the camel...

I un-crated Caspar as soon as he arrived, but he has been quite elusive so didnt catch up with him really until this morning. Just in time

Meet Caspar and walk the Middle Path

I noticed that some of the other participants at AJC had named their camel. I didnt want to be rude and now name mine. I mean, I am sure he wouldnt like it much if I just called him "Hey You". So Husband and I sat down to find the perfect name for my camel. We tried several different names, but none really fit. Until I looked at a site for Persian names. Caspar! Love the name. And in Persian it means Guardian of the Treasure. The treasure being me and my sanity. So what do you think? Isnt that just the perfect name?

The other night I was reading a little in Teachings of the Buddha and it reminded me about the Middle Path. Thought I should make a layout. I saw it in my mind exactly how I wanted it, but it didnt quite turn out as I saw it. Mainly because I couldnt find an image of a tightrope walker that suited me completely. I did find one eventually that I liked, but it wasnt what I had envisioned. So I had to change things a little to accommodate the image. I still think it turned out nicely.

The tightrope walker was found at Totally Free Images [link]

And the Fish Said Nothing!

I am reading a book called The Faithful Spy by Alex Berenson. It is pretty good. In one of the previous chapters the main character, John Wells, gets bored in his small apartment and decides to go out.

"Wells rolled his neck, an old habit. Sulking in herewith his dying fish wasn't doing him any good. He headed for the door. "Sorry, Lucy," he said, looking at the tank. "Sorry, Ricky. But at least you've still got each other."
And the fish said nothing."

I dont know what it is about this, but I liked that last sentence LOL. So figured I should make a layout.

It's About Time, Happy New Year, and Chicken

You can probably tell that I am having a lot of fun these days. I am trying to think outside the box and it is actually harder than I thought. I am so used to the structure of a regular scrapbook layout. You have your paper or papers, then you add elements, a photo (or more than one), and then maybe some journaling. You follow certain 'rules'. I have been trying to use the same papers and elements but add some effects, blending modes, and in some cases no photo or journaling. It is fun! Try it!

This first one is for a challenge at SBG called 'Impressions of Time'.
Items used:
Paper, arrow doodle, star and heart, and tape from Tangie Baxter Designs. Everything is from the Art Journal Caravan kit [link]
The swirlies in the bottom right corner and the tag is by Polka Dot Chicks.
