What's your inspiration?

Good morning crafty creatures! 

Today's craty tip is:

     Think about what inspires your creative side.  Is it beautiful papers in a variey of amazing colors, or is it breathtaking photography, or heart felt journaling?  Keep your "inspiration motivation" in mind with every new project you create.

Today's small Comfort:

Goodness is the only investment that never fails. - Henry David Thoreau

Enjoy the sunshine!

I made some cards!

     Well, I was able to put some cards together last night.  I love using my Cricut expression.  It has enabled me to be more creative.  I have to tell you I used a new product and it's called Paper layerz created by @Megan Elizabeth at Above Rubies Studio.  This stuff is so unique.  It is made for the Cricut. It cuts like butter! All of the diff. colors on one page make projects easy and there's no waste.  I haven't figured out how to post pics yet.  I will show you the cards as soon as I figure it out :)

Scrapping tip of the day:

     Enjoy the "process" of paper crafting as much as the "product."  Completeing a card, layout, or an entire scrabook is very satisfying, but remember to relax and enjoy the journey along the way!

Small Comforts:

If you can dream it, you can do it! - Walt Disney

Have an awesome day.

     I am excited to say hello!  I have never blogged before, so please bare with me while I learn my way around.  Any suggestions you have would be great.

     I am leaving for vacation in a couple day so while I won't be crafting, I will be posting some tips for card making/scrapbooking and a "Small Comfort" daily. So here we go:

     There is no wrong war to card make or scrapbook.  Each person's style will be unique.  Don't feel bound by someone else's rules.

     The small comfort for today is a quote from George Bernard Shaw.  Life isn't about finding yourself - Life is about crating yourself.

I hope you have a great day.
