Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!!!

REMINDER: Drink your WATER!

Today's Tip

No more e’s in your letter sticker pack? Try an upside down 3! I’ve done this tons of times. In fact I have also changed a lower case g into a y and an h, and an ampersand (&) into an S. It all depends on the font, so take a closer look to see what you can improvise

Glossy Accents by Ranger is also a great adhesive for lumpy stuff and clear elements

Today's Tip

Not sure if a stamp is the perfect design for a certain spot? Stamp it first with a solvent ink like StazOn on a piece of plastic and lay over your project in progress to check. Clear inserts or packaging that come with products are handy for this.

Whatcha Up To?

Got busy this week, and weekend, and didn't get my posting done.

Yesterday was a BEAUTIFUL day in Victoria and we spent a good portion of the day in the garden cleaning up, clipping, pruning, weeding, chopping, and digging.  Got a lot done and LOVE to see the progress, but still a lot more to do!!!!! 

A little bit of time spent in my craft room, but no finished projects to share.  Lots to get done this week!!!

What did you do?

What did you do last Saturday???

I spent the entire day scrapbooking with friends.  I got four beautiful (well, in my eyes) layouts done and I am so inspired to do more!!!!!

Alas, I must go do my "other job", so will update later and post my new layouts.

Has anybody else been creative lately????  What have you been working on?
