Words to Live By…
Some of the latest Stampin’ Up! sets have some wonderful phrases and sentiments that really resonate with me (or SHOULD!). This is one of them. It can often feel like I’m so busy slogging through the day and just trying to survive it – so for me, this is an energizing statement, reminding me to appreciate the moment and put something into it so I can get more out of it.
Don’t fall over – there’s some elements that I cut by hand. I know. It’s shocking. However, those who like “fussy cutting” will scoff, since this cutting is basically straight lines… It’s hard to see in the image, but the “Today” is actually in a lighter colour. I like the fun, energizing colours in this card, and it’s a great “all purpose” kind of card, even if the set it comes from is called “Amazing Birthday“. The Designer Series Paper in the background is from the Sweet Taffy collection.
This weekend, I’ll be at the Cambridge Cropfest on Saturday morning, doing a Make & Take with the croppers in attendance. I’m looking forward to checking out what everyone’s working on! (oh, and I’ll have some items for sale, like adhesives and kits in case you “need” anything to fuel your creativity as well).
**Please note that the date of the December Monthly Card Class has changed – it will be on THURSDAY, December 4th at 7pm.**

What I have in common with Ali Edwards and Cathy Zielske….
One of the fun opportunities I’ve had of late is the chance to be creative for Stampin’ Up! Saturday on the Scrapbook and Cards Today Blog. This is the blog for the Canadian produced magazine that also features contributions by Ali Edwards and Cathy Zielske, two of my scrapbooking idols, so I’m thrilled to be able to say that we’re published in the same space… well, kind of… (as close as I’m going to get at this point anyway LOL!). I had a lot of fun with the latest set of projects featuring the Watercolour Winter Simply Created Kit (ok, I know it’s actually Watercolor Winter in the catalogue, but I can’t help including the “u” – it looks like a spelling error to me otherwise). I’m so grateful for the opportunity.
I managed to do a new video for you all! I know it’s been a while since I’ve done one – I apologize – between decluttering/selling/packing/moving a household, it’s been one of those things that fell by the wayside a bit. However, time to get back at it, and no time like the present! Today’s video shows you how to create the fun icicle accents that decorate this quick and easy card featuring the set Endless Wishes from the Holiday Catalogue. Enjoy!
