Joy to the World

This is my One Word card for December.


My word is
Joy.

My definition of Joy is the physical expression of delight,
an outward display of being glad.

In these current times, we sometimes forget to show happiness,
we almost feel embarrassed to exhibit such seemingly decadent emotions,
but it is so important for us to reinforce these feelings.

So this month, let us be joyous.


The One Word project was an idea by Kasia Avery,
during Week 33 of her Wanderlust 2017 online class.

Each month we choose our word for that month
& make a small card which goes into our One Word box.

The project is mainly about using up old scraps of paper
or recycling junk mail,
things that other people would consider to be trash.

I went for using up all those small scraps of paper
 that I have been hoarding over the years,
some pieces so small that most people
would have already discarded them.

I enjoy the process of paper collage,
combining different patterns & images together
to create a cohesive piece of art.

These two little girls are
Paper Dolls from Tim Holtz.
