I finally have 2 completely done! It's taking longer than I originally thought. But the end is in sight! And thank goodness I didn't leave this one to the last minute. :)

Lyte 02-24-2019 09:21 PM

Bummer! I'm reading this now. Mostly I'm sorry she's not able to receive them, I'm sure they'd all be lovely. Gotta say, I'm pretty pleased with how hers turned out. :(

Yes. So if you haven’t made hers you can refrain if you wish. Those that have can decide how to handle it how they wish.

I like busy collages!

My style is kinda busy collage anyways, so you're in good company.

Omg, same. These were so much harder than I thought they would be!!!

I'm starting to really enjoy the process....now that I'm finishing these suckers up! Ha!

At first, I was a wee bit concerned about the crowding and collaging too but we're dealing with much smaller sizes than what you see on the videos, Google and Pinterest so it's to be expected unless someone uses size 8 font in their quotes and inchie sized pictures. There's just not going to be much room unless someone only uses one piece of text or only one picture but it's good, I think. Besides, some of the themes kind of cross reference one another so that makes it even better.

I've been feeling happier the past few days while I've been working on them so I think the Universe's positivity juju is kicking in (because it's not that they look especially fantastic). I even got a bit verklempt once or twice. Of course, it could be hormonal, but I feel like I'm getting something out of this too so I'm super glad that nan proposed this project.

Lyte 02-25-2019 11:35 PM

Didn't now there was a particular direction to go... and yet.. I still managed to go in the opposite direction... non-busy... non-collage. :p

candy_coated_bitch 02-26-2019 11:07 AM

Im getting nervous I won't make it in time but I'm working furiously and doing my best. This for some reason is so hard for me.

Lyte 02-26-2019 01:56 PM

It turned out much more difficult for me too. I think... I'm nearly... almost... possibly … very close to being done. :blink: Don't fret... now you've only gotta do seven and you've got a whole nothing week and weekend! lol ;)

I thought I had a nice collection of magazines from which to pull from … nope! Couldn't find squat in any of them … okay, maybe like three pics … so nearly every image came from the internet. Must have been kizmet cuz I was in need of a new printer anyway! :p

Bit of a delay but they went in the mail today. I sent them priority so they should reach nanners well before the deadline.

I felt this too. I think it's because vision boards are so personal and we're making them for someone else who gave us general categories, which could go in different directions. I have struggled with a couple of them for sure.

Lyte 02-27-2019 01:45 PM

Mine will be in the mail tomorrow. :blink:

Lyte 02-28-2019 04:46 PM

Done! The USPS gal said it should be Saturday but it might be Monday. Something about snow about to drop in our Wrangler's area. :blink: :blink:

Nan... box full... see thanks message. :p lol

GeorgiaMa'am 02-28-2019 07:22 PM

Thank Goodness we have a one week grace period. I really need this weekend to finish up.

And talk about last minute! - I'm going to _have_ to use my printer for this project. There are some pix I want to use and I am just not willing to cut up the magazines. So I ordered some printer ink today - just in time! - for it to get here Saturday. (Yes, I could have gone to Staples, but I hate going in that store, even just for a pick-up.)

nanners 02-28-2019 07:24 PM

Lyle, no problem!

FSF, I got yours today.

Will update things this weekend.

I gotta finish mine!:|:|

Lyte 03-01-2019 04:09 PM

Me too... I went the printer route on most of them. I'm just not a magazine owning kinda Butch. :p

Im still really struggling with this project. It's proven extremely difficult to find appropriate pictures for a lot of you with the magazines I have. I don't know how you all are doing it. I'm really afraid of not finishing. I don't own a printer so that's not an option. It's going to be storming tonight so I can't really procure other sources of pictures. Maybe I should have done that.

I have a LOT of stuff cut out, it's just mostly words and it's not coming together. It's like pulling teeth. I'm afraid of having to drop out. But that wouldn't be fair to everyone who put hard work into boards for me already.

Maybe I need a pep talk.

nycfem 03-03-2019 01:56 PM

You could always draw or paint things you can't find, not that you're exceptionally talented in that area or anything ;). Think outside the box of what a vision board can mean. You got this! :koolaid:

Excellent idea nycfem!

CCB... If ya can't cut n paste then draw, scribble, paint, whatever! The most important thing about a vision board is the vision... not the medium with which it's made. Don't sweat the bits n pieces... focus on the message you want to convey and it'll be smashing! :koolaid:

Helpful hint: Remember, white space creates impact! You don't need to fill every square inch with something!

You've got this CCB! I've seen you pull it out at the last minute many times. You thrive under pressure!
