One Little Word 2013 and a Layout!

All over the scrapbooking community, you will see people talking about their OLW. One Little Word. This is a concept that I was first introduced to several years ago by Ali Edwards. It's a word just for you to represent your year. A word to focus on.
I didn't choose a word last year. But I have in the past.
Words like breathe ( I always  need to remind myself to do that!) and
purpose (I wanted to live that year with purpose).

I think I am going to try again this year.
I was looking on my Pinterest boards and came across these three pins that spoke to me.

Humor.

Faith.

Journey.
All three caught my eye.
But for some reason I keep going back to the first one.
Humor.
My mother-in-law and I always joke about difficult family situations that have been dealt with the past few years saying "we just have to laugh through the pain". And we do. We find the humor in it all of the time :)
And it's a lesson I have been learning. To find the humor in any situation is always uplifting. To find the joy and the positive makes all of the difference.
To not be so serious all of the time.
But I am looking forward to this year, 2013 as being one full of laughter and humor.
Like they say, "laughter is the best medicine." :)

And since Wilna over at Two Peas in a Bucket had a video and challenge to create a layout based on our OLW, I decided to join in!

I can tell 2013 is going to be a good scrap year with a word like "humor". I had so much fun putting this layout together. I played with my mists and made a little collage of photos to cut apart from my "makes me laugh" board on Pinterest. As you can see though, I still used my favorite grid style design with my misted elements as base. I can't help it. I am a grid kind of girl! I used three different masks and some blue, pink and yellow mists. But still lots of fun!

I also have this layout up on the Craft Your Nest blog today as well, talking more about One Little Word.

Do you have a word picked for this year?
