My first page of 2017 may just turn out to be the cover of a 2017 ART Journal project that is still in the thinking process, but so far I like the direction its headed.

Thought for 2017-
365 new days
365 new chances
365 opportunities
i have decided that this will be a very good year

Page Process-
The WordART and quote were actually placed first and the ART page was designed around the quote.

The LittleNumbers were resized and a paperie was moved around and clipped to the brush.

Pieces from the MultiMedia Balloons psd were layered into the design along with several elements.

Annas new AnnaStyles Shadows were added to the elements to add pops where needed.

The KrissKross Stitching and the Banner were added to offset the vertical design and more visual interest to the ART.

A few more pieces of Annas White stitching were added along the edges.

thanks for looking..donna
