{prompt 4} scrapbook your quote

Welcome to day 4 of our Foxy 14 scrapbooking prompts!  Today's prompt is crafty and lots of fun!!

Prompt  4:  Scrapbook your quote from prompt 3.....AND, I created the two journaling cards below as a FREE download to help speed up the process!  You can download them HERE.  The idea is to use the 4x6" journaling card with the lines to journal about your quote and what it means to you.  Feel free to add the journaling however you like.  I used my computer and added in the journaling before printing, but you can use your typewriter, handwrighting, or whatever you like.  For the 3x4" card with the heart, try to add in your quote without using your own handwriting.  I used a combination of alpha stickers for mine.  Also, you can add in these journaling cards to whatever project that strikes your fancy.  I used a Becky Higgins 6x8 page protector (with one 4x6" and two 3x4" pockets), adding in a Sunshine Core Kit card to the third pocket.  It was the perfect spot to add in the date!

Here's is the process video, showing what the journaling cards look like printed onto a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper as well as how I put my page together:  

Here's a close-up of the 3x4" card to hold your quote.....

And a close-up of the 4x6" journaling card to hold the journaling about your quote.....

Also, this is what the example I used for Prompt 3 looks like printed out....

I hope you have fun with today's prompt, and it helps document something special.  XO

{prompt 3} choose a quote

We are really enjoying February so far this month over here in Seattle (Yay Hawks!).....and the next prompt to help celebrate this love month is....

Prompt 3:  Choose a quote to reflect your goal driven word for the year.  I personally chose the word STRONG as my word, and you can read more about it HERE, and also about my participation in the online One Little Word workshop I'm enjoying with teacher Ali Edwards HERE.  If you don't have a word that represents your focus for the year, then feel free to just choose a quote that means a lot to you right now, or something that the feels inspiring.  Today's prompt is reflective and is a step towards thinking about this year in a loving way, and tomorrow we will do doing something crafty with it.  Also, if you decide to play along, make sure to use the hashtag #foxy14 on Twitter or Instagram so we can see too!  Happy Monday to you!!  XO

{prompt 2} create a valentine garland

Hi everyone! Welcome to day 2 of our Foxy 14 prompts!! Today's prompt is to create your very own Valentine garland! For mine, I used some of the graphics I had originally designed for a small Valentine kit I was planning on selling here, but didn't make to the time to complete. So, instead to say a BIG thank you to everyone who supports my blog and enjoys my handmade goodies I have a gift for you. I'm sharing the Silhouette file I created and used to make my garland. It includes the two foxes with the hearts in between as well as all the individual hearts I used.....and it all fits on one 12x12 sheet of scrapbook paper. You can download the FREE Silhouette file HERE.  If you don't own a Silhouette machine and want the graphics to cut out by hand, please shoot me an email at carrieelias(at)yahoo(dot)com, and I'll email it over to you. ; )

In assembling my garland, I used a sheet of the light and airy Pink Paislee Color Wash paper pack. I wanted something fairly neutral, bright and cheerful since the background it was going to be hanging up against was so dark and colorful. Then, I added in some white pom-poms, and so love the end result! Have fun with this happy winter craft!! XO

You can find Prompt 1 HERE.

{prompt 1} take a photo of a heart

Happy February 1st to you!!! I don't know where time went, but January flew by for me! For the first half of February (1st-14th) my friend Amanda and I have decided to share a new prompt (with examples) on our blogs for each day leading up to Valentine's. Some will be creative prompts and others are reflective. We though it would be a fun and interactive way to help document Love Day : ) 

Today's prompt is actually on-going: Take a photo of a heart each day leading up to Valentine's. You can take all 14 photos, or decided to take one every other day, or really whatever works for you but basically the idea is to end up with enough to make a collage at the end. Feel free to use the camera on your phone of whatever you prefer. My photo for today is of a cute heart shaped plate that is holding my favorite potato tacos (the plate is from Target). Yummy. We hope you decide to play along! XO
