Working FROM 9 to 5 made more enjoyable by working WITH 9 to 5
Hi everyone - Lowri here and welcome to my first guest post for the month of May! I have been having great fun with the 9 to 5 Collection! I worked in a corporate office for many years and I have to say there was more than a touch of the Mad Men about it and I just love the imagery of the vintag...
great family page; love those swimmers! FOr NSD, I hung out with some gal pals for a crop but spent way too much time talking and only got maybe 6 layouts done!

agreed! and for each person who is a negative nelly, there will be 2 more positive pam's to take their place! I used to get negative and snide comments when I first started blogging about 5 years ago and I really had to let people know that my blg is for me and my family and that the crafty stuff I share is really just an added bonus....they either like or not :) Keep doing your thing and newbies like me will come :):)
Creativity takes courage
As I logged in to Typepad tonight to show you some new work I've done, I saw a 'recommended' blog to look at. It was called 'Creativity takes courage'. I didn't look at it, but the words briefly caught my attention and stayed with me. Three little words that mean so much to me in the job I do, a...
Fantastic! Love all the textures and dreamy colors....am thinking this would be a great spring break project!

Helmar and Clearsnap what a pair!
As part of this week's partnership with ClearSnap I am so excited to have been given an opportunity to work with some of Donna Salazar's Mixed Media inx by ColorBox. I teamed that up with some of ColorBox's Fluid Chalk inkpads, to create these two projects! The first of my projects is a c...
I agree with all you've said-but I gotta say that not all the "well knowns" are friendly like you-some of them are very snotty and would never associate with "non-published" regulars (trust me, this is what I hear from my friends)...I wish the industry would mix up the talent but don't get me started! I try to maintain that balance-yes I want to be published more, bit damn, it is stressful creating stuff for them so I limit what I submit to every other year. I still wish you'd come back in some form :):)
it didn't feel like I did that much.
I've been working on getting my layout gallerys sorted out and updating my scrapbook resume - all the little things I've neglected over the last year or so. Especially as I ease back into scrapbooking and trying to catch up on my memroies before I lost them. - my brain is like a sieve at the be...
what a fantastic idea! We have a large quote in our living room and it's always behind me when I take pictures & I've never paid it much attention from a scrapbooking position....hmmmm....
In This House

Wood Veneer and Chipboard
Hello everyone! Thanks for coming back and joining me for another day in embellishment week. Today we are going to look at wood veneers, which are wildly popular right now, and the tried and true chipboard. Both come in many shapes and sizes and are a great addition to any layout. Wood Venee...
I just found 3 books similar to #4 in a junking store back in November and if you can believe it, I paid 40 CENTS a book! I plan on deconstructing them (gasp now) and scrapping a mini baby book (like SMASH) for each kid and then one of me & hubs together as art for the living room. They were obviously part of a set and I walked around the store making sure there were no more LOL
Old Books
Both me and my husband love old books. If we ever go to an antique store we will most definitely come out with a book or two. Here are some of my favs that we've collected: 1. Mike found this little book of Byron's poems while we were at the Springville Antiques Mall on Saturday. It's tiny a...
#13...shake shack...yummo!
New York, New York
Instead of giving a play-by-play of my trip, I'll just show some highlights in the form of pictures (which, let's be honest, is the best way anyways). I went out there to spend time with my bestie Kelly before she leaves the City That Never Sleeps for the Windy City. The very first time we met...
newbie here coming over from Amy's place...would love to have a copy of this book! ps-a bonus was the cute Valentine printables you gave us :) I'm doing an in-home project that I think these will be perfect for...will send you a pic/link when I post in in Feb!

absolutely wonderful!
pick a quote, any quote.
It's Becky here today sharing a layout featuring a quote. I picked a Martin Luther King Jr quote in his honor today. The man has so many profound quotes, if you google his name, you will find a plethora of insightful thoughts. Sometimes, for me, a quote can be a great starting point for a proje...

Photographing Your Projects with Jen
You spend hours gathering your supplies, and planning your project. You carefully craft your layout, card, or altered project to perfection. Now you MUST share it with the world. But the photograph you've taken of your project is grey, muddied, and unworthy of the perfection of your project. It'...

CHA Photos & a Giveaway
I'm home from CHA. California was sunny this time, but not as warm as I'm used to. The sunny bright blue skies were a bit deceiving day after day as I walked out of the convention center to a cold 35-40 degree breeze. But, the weather is usually just a perk, as the main purpose for the trip is t...
fantastic! Had to pin!
Get the Look: Baby It's Cold Outside
