'Out with the old in with the new' and tutorial

I'm doing a prompt in a private journal group and the theme is 'Out with the old and in with the new'
Out with the old for me will be getting rid of negative people that I have known and getting rid of those who remember me only when they need something! We all have one of those friends! In with the new is to look at life with more positivity and to surround myself with like minded people. The new me would like to take bigger and better steps but I'm actually going to put my money where my mouth is this year ;)  Why did I chose a raven? The raven is a wise old bird who chooses wisely and knows its pickings.

This will be my first blog tutorial! I hope that you enjoy seeing how I created this 8x8 page in my journal.
