My sweet friend, Amaryllis sent this quote to me on Monday. I asked her for a TFT idea and she said, “What about that quote I just sent you?” Sounds like a volunteer to me!!!!! Soooooo….. I decided to ask her to be my guest blogger and fill in for me while I was gone to Vegas this week.Thoughts From Amaryllis:“I love to create. I love to make layouts of my kids. I like to show off my scrapbooking talents……

I am apologizing in advance for not putting up a lot of art this week. On Wednesday, Brent and I are driving down to Las Vegas to meet up with my aunt and uncle who are coming out from Virginia to “see the west”. I am very excited to see them. Saw uncle Steve a couple of years ago at a family reunion in Massachusetts, but I haven’t seen my aunt Lisa in probably 20 years or so. We’re going…
World Card Making Day is tomorrow, October 6th. I haven’t really been in the mood (ie had a whole lot of/any time) to make cards this week, but I saw an organizer like this on the blog of a fellow SCS girl. I just HAD to make one!! Here’s my note card organizer & a “tutorial”. I made this very quickly this morning and part of last evening with some leftover paper from a CTMH Level 2 Kit: Just Chillin…
Sometimes when we look at ourselves and others around us it is easier to pick out the flaws and negatives rather than the good or good qualities that are not on the surface. Norman Rockwell is one of my all time favorite artists. I especially love this painting because while he’s looking in the mirror at an old man, his perception of himself is not him as an old man, but as a young spry fellow. “Rockwell’s work conveyed a…
I was perusing wedding cakes a while back, no particular reason other than they are fun to look at, and I am addicted to Ace of Cakes… Anyway… I saw this cake and loooooved it. I would never in a zillion years put these colors together, but they sure look good on this cake!!! Here’s your first Color Challenge….. Create a card, layout, or other piece of art using these colors as your inspiration. I’d love to see them, so…
“Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes the furthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.” – Dale Carnegie “ I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you, not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others, but with the strength of conviction that you can move others by your own efforts, and do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live,…
I am swamped in Bind It All Products from Zutter Innovative… YIKES!!!! (This little machine is the coolest thing!!! Look how tiny it is!!) I got my second shipment of product for the big sale I ‘ve been holding… We are completely sold out of chipboard covers already (and so is the manufacturer until 2nd week in Oct)…. They are also out of 3/8″ black wires until who knows when… So I’m trying to figure out substitutions for the assortments…
I made this pot o’ pencils (and pens) for my friend’s little girl who turned 11 today. She loves to write and draw (and so do her brothers), so I figured that they wouldn’t steal her cute flowery pens and pencils and it would make a great addition to her desk in her lavendar room. 🙂 This was very simple to do. I purchased a tin pot and two bunches of flowers (97 c each) and some white kidney or…
