art imitading life

photo of me taken by nadia.

here's a scrapbook layout that was inspired by a page out of a j.crew catalog. i borrowed the color palette and some of the elements from the outfit for the page.

a co-worker of mine was talking to me about the importance of journaling. she was encouraging me to journal as i prepare myself to move to chicago. i think the idea of taking time to reflect and remember is an important habit to develop. as i was making the layout i was remembering how last year was a very formative year for me and i think 2010 will be even more so. that's kind of my approach to scrapbooking...it's kind of a record of watershed events with photography, words, and design.
