Happy New Year's Eve! It's Jana Eubank. Can you hardly believe that
we are about to turn the calendar over to another year?! It seems like
just yesterday that I was ringing in 2012 with my family.
I
love a new year. It is a time of reflection and reprioritizing. A time
of decluttering and new beginnings. To start my page, I chose to be
inspired by fresh colors and pull products together using a color
palette rather than using one collection. I chose the colors yellow,
pink, and gray accented with soft blue and a pinch of red.

I
pulled patterned papers from the Lost & Found 3 and Lost in Love
collections to begin. I chose the yellow striped Oliver Lace Fan Paper
for the base of my page. Next, I held my photos up to several papers and
decided to mat my main photo with the large polka dotted Lucky in Love
Multi Stripe Paper.
From there, I worked my way
out with the papers. I chose to place the soft blue polka dot to the
right of the photo. The cream mat for the photo, the sliver of blue
striped paper, and the gray paper strips all come from the same sheet of
Oliver Bingo Glitter Paper. I stamped the top gray strip of paper with
the number line from the Oliver Stamps. I added a punch of contrast by
cutting out a red glittery strip of paper from the Ruby Stripes Glitter
Paper.
Next, it was time to find accents and embellishments for my page. The stickers, die cuts, and numbers all come from The Sweetest Thing collection.
I handcut the numbers from the "One of a Kind" Notable Paper to use as my page title. I arranged die cuts and stickers along with my smaller photos in a waterfall pattern down the right side of my page.
I found three silver star charms in my stash and strung them from the top edge of my paper with the Follow Your Heart "Be Happy" Twine. A scattering of rhinestones here-and-there around the page are a perfect way to add a party feel to the rest of the page.
Thanks for stopping by today! All of us at My Mind's Eye wish you and yours a very Happy New Year!
