Today is the day we focus on giving back or paying it forward. I want you to think about something…what is the difference between thinking and doing? One is internal and the other is external.

Remember to send a card today.
Today is the day to give back. This is the focus of today. It’s not that it does not happen on other days but I find if you are not intentional then things may not happen. So send that card TODAY!

Using scraps for a background.
Once in a while you actually need to use your scraps. That folder, bin, or bag gets full! Use those bits and pieces! Trim them into similar shapes and create a background.

So, here are the opportunities to get your creative mojo going. This Saturday the 23rd from 10-10 the MesaContinue reading “Here’s to a new start…”
Creating and having fun.
Just a couple of cards that were created yesterday that I thought I would post here. The Christmas one was created with embossing paste that is dried with a heat gun until fluffy. The birthday card is using the Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on page 5 of the Holiday Catalog. It uses theContinue reading “Creating and having fun.”
