“What do we live for; if it is not to make life less difficult for each other? ”—Mary Ann Evans (pen name George Eliot; 1819-1880), novelist I love this quote. I know, I say that about all the quotes I post on TFT’s and throughout the blog, but it’s true… quotes and thoughts are not going to make it here unless I really like them 🙂 I read this quote the other day and thought, “gee, that’s so true… or…
More digi scrapping… this is the layout we made in Lesson 2 of Jessica Sprague’s Now We’re Rocking with Photoshop class. It was soooo fun to make and I am sooo ready for SPRING! Inky Smiles!
It is sooooo dang cold here still! It’s snowing AGAIN tonight and “they say” it’s just starting!!! We had snow yesterday and will have it AGAIN on Friday and possibly AGAIN on Sunday! WOW! This is FAB-U-LOUS for snow pack in the mountains and water supply for this year, but, MAN, I am tired of being COLD. So….. I thought I’d scrapbook a couple of summer pages to try to warm up. I am still COLD, but I feel more…

I am a slacker on Thoughts for Thursday… truth is, this week I have been a busy girl. Ready for the excuse list? LOL! J/K! Seriously, though… I’ve been cleaning my studio (it’s a royal heap again), and going through financial files for taxes… ewwwwww…, working at my “day” job, trashing the old Stamper Storage store and completely reprogramming it to a new shopping cart (because the old one just would not work, and you can’t launch a store when…

I picked up some Adirondack Dimensional Pearls paint (Ranger Ink) at Robert’s Craft yesterday afternoon. I started out with a different idea for a card, but this is what I ended up with this afternoon. LOL! I put a few globs of Cranberry (it’s actually a fuschia/pink) ADP on a plate, dropped in a few drops of water and swirled around with a brush, then brushed it onto white cardstock. It’s nice and thick and makes a cool pearly glaze….
There was a headline in one of our papers yesterday… “Utah Forcast – Great if you’re a fat polar bear.”See this link: http://www.sltrib.com/weather/ci_7996853 LOL! It is TRUE, TRUE, TRUE.

(This – and recovering from Wed night’s church event –…

Once I had the colors picked out the whole thing took maybe 10-15 minutes in production, well, plus a little dry time for the Stickles.
I’m in the middle of a huge project for church… we’re having our quarterly Enrichment night and I’ve planned a super fun Spiritual Spa Spectacular. We’ll have 5 – 10 minute mini classes, a Keynote Speaker and some yummmmmmy goodies. It’s going to be a BLAST! Tonight I am working on thank you notes for our class presenters/speakers and used this simple sketch to plan the card. I’m pretty much sticking to the basic sketch, but it’s turning out soooo…
