my pleasure (done for scrapbook dreamer earlier, but I never uploaded till now)
journaling:
I get lost
When the road stretches out in front of me,
My feet hit the ground in rhythm with my music
the simple beauty of flow!


I find myself
In my world of creativity.
This place where I can make something unique and special to me


I retreat
Inside the pages
there is a world that causes me for a time to forget my own


I revitalize
Inside a mug
the smell, the taste, the aura!

my little Logan's first dental exam. I know I'm a slacker, but no cavities so yay anyway! I did this as a sketch challenge for letscrap

Don't forget, my day is Tuesday (as in technique Tuesday)

Yay I made this layout of the cancer relay! It was amazing... I'm so happy my mom and Grandma B are survivors. Wish you coul've been there grandma B.

1. cut a 3x12 piece of patterned paper, ink the edges and glue it around the container.

3. trace your lid then cut out the resulting circle and fit it inside the lid. (I also ink the edges of this.



4. get your ribbon and glue it around your container.
5. Ink your choice of stamps and then stamp the container

6. puch hole in the lid and side of the container.
7. slide fiber through to the top of the lid. Here, I like to add my button and tie a knot!
