My monthly word for Jan. 2013 is Re~Birth, so appropriate as this is my birth month. I am a Capricorn and I love astrology so this page was based on the good and bad characteristics/traits of a Capricorn or more simply put of ME. I always take this month to reflect back on the year and use my reflections to put in motion ways to be a better person...wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend and artist.
A journal page was the basis for this using the Dylusions Creative Journal {which is AWESOME}.
There are many layers of acrylic paints, collage, stamps & metallic markers. I used these pages to make a list of all my good and bad characteristics/traits. By using a gold metallic marker you would have to look very closely at these pages...it is a way to hide my journaling.

I LOVE using the library catalog card. I originally read about it on Katie the Scrapbook Lady blog. It is web based and you have the ability to use it to create great journaling spots. Here is the one I created for this journal page.
Here is one I created with the information you need to create your very own library catalog card.
Thanks for stopping by...I hope you will try making your own catalog card...let me know what you think about this. Have a creative day and I'll be back with a blog post about my Ice Resin class I took at CHA Winter 2013.
