Oh the decisions you need to make! LOL!!

Avoid Photo Overload. Namaste

You know how it is when you develop your pictures and you automatically think, Oh!  I have the scrapbook paper and embellishments that will match these perfectly!  That's how this layout came about.  I've loved working with the Hopscotch paper collection so much I ordered myself another pack before it was discontinued.  I'm so glad I did!  These yoga pictures were a perfect fit.

My story is that I 'taught' yoga to a huge group of residents in my previous community.  We called it "Yoga At Your Own Risk" What was risky about it ~ well I was never trained/certified as a Yoga Instructor and at times was just winging it.  But boy,  I had a following!  Sometimes we had almost 20 people at a time!  If you click on the picture you can read my journaling.  We had such a fun time!

When I started the layout, I knew I wanted to incorporate Flip Flaps.  From now on, I think  Flip Flaps will be in every layout I create.  Yup, they are that cool!  Are you wondering what the heck are Flip Flaps?  I put a notation on the picture above so you can see where I used them and here's a link to them on my Close to my Heart store.  They are so very helpful to avoid photo overload in your Scrapbook.  Instead of making page after page after page of the same event, you can use Flip Flaps to create more 'real estate' on your pages.  Check it out ~  Flip Flaps

That's it for tonight.

Namaste.

Color Blocked Typed Note

Happy April!  Spring is springing!  Outside my window I can hear a lawn mower, birds chirping and someone is getting a new roof.  I love having my windows open!
So today's post features the April Stamp of the Month called Typed Note.  This is such a versatile stamp set, just look at all those sentiments!  

 

I created a couple cards and have many more swirling around in my head.  The background of both the cards reminds me of a color blocked dress my daughter had when she was young.

 What do you think?  Aren't they adorable?   They are both already in the mail....I wonder who the lucky recipients are.  :-)

Thanks for stopping in and I hope you are able to enjoy this wonderful Spring day.

Tool Time Tuesday is so De-Stressing so How About a Give-Away?

  Crafting is my way of de-stressing.  I must be hiding an awful lot of stress, because I am crafting ALL the time! I mean every day, all the time, I'm doing something crafty.  In fact I have been broadening my crafting to now include pottery throwing.  oooo boy what a challenge that is!  Kneading, Centering, How much water to use, Thick or thin.....plus, I never know what my end product will be.  I've got some pieces that are being fired this week, so we will have to be patient.  uggg  But once I get them, I'll share.
  Now, Back on track.  Have you ever distressed your papers?  It creates such a cool affect and really changes up the look of your project.  Below is a 2 minute video talking about the different distressing tools from Close to my Heart.  Did you know that you can even use the distressing tool to sharpen your scissors??  I learned that from the video.
