Welcome to the first post in wednesdayWISDOM, a series of scrapbooking inspiration pieces to help you get your digiscrappin’ mojo on.

To start the ball rolling I have chosen an Oscar Wilde quote:

A dreamer is one who can only find
his way by moonlight, and his punishment
is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
~ Oscar Wilde

 

wednesdayWISDOM scrapbooking inspiration Oscar Wilde quote

 

This quote has deep meaning in my life at this time, providing scrapbooking inspiration for my latest digital layout.

Each morning I wake to the sound of people busy working to maintain the parks and the beaches where I am staying and I am filled with gratitude for all that they do.

This quote brings to mind all people who do their work during the night, inspiring me to create a digital scrapbook layout about dawn. Reflecting upon this quote, and using the Krafty Chic Petite Collection, I was inspired to take the photo of the beach depot at dawn and to create this layout.

wednesdayWISDOM Digital Scrapbook Layout: Dawn

Dawn

From my personal journal on 12 March 2020:
Today I am thankful for all those who do their work whilst we are sleeping.
When I woke this morning the sun had not yet risen and for the hundredth time (at least!) I was appreciative of the man who runs the tractor each day.
Today was different though. It finally “dawned” on me that there are countless people who do their work in this world, all around us, whilst we are sleeping.
Many of them are directly involved in keeping us safe.
Many in keeping us alive and healing us when we are sick.
Many of them hold our hands as we leave this world.
This morning’s sky was an amazing tribute of colour to all these people who do their work while we sleep.

That in turn led to two sun and sunrise inspired element pieces that I threw together into a little FREEbie for you.
