Words of Wisdom

  • The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. - Henry Ward Beecher

  • Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. - Mark Twain
  • The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said. - Peter F. Drucker
  • Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. - Albert Einstein

DYL: Real World Colour Assignment 3

The hardest part of these assignments is to find photos that are appropriate for the design, theme or colour. I do not print my photos at home. I like the quality - and cost - of photos processed over at Fortino's. Right now, I can't beat $0.19 for 4x6 and 5x7. But I can't get over there every day! And I don't know that I will ever be organized enough to pre-print a week or month worth of photos in anticipation of sketches, colours and ideas I've never seen. I'm almost tempted to print all the rest of the photos in black & white and then I don't have to worry about anything. Hmmm. We'll see.

At any rate, this week we were given the colours: hot lime green, red and a trendy gray with a dash of white. We were also given the sketch. This is my interpretation:

Where I Buy Fun Supplies

  • A Cherry On Top
    I can't "toot" loud enough to let you know how fantastic this online resource is: tons of product, great prices, FAST shipping - a week quicker than any other US online retailer. Love them, love them, love them. If you have to pay duty and taxes I'd rather pay it quick than have to wait for the privilege!
  • Forever Scrapbooks
    Located a few kms away in Burlington. Great when I need something quick, I can usually find it here.
  • Pages In Time (Michigan)
    A bit of a hike, but well worth the trip if you happen to be in Michigan.
  • Pick of the Patch (Port Coquitlam, BC)
    Fantastic monthly kit, look forward to opening it each month. It always includes something I can't find locally.
  • Scrapbooks By Design (Toronto)
    Fabulous place, but the website does take f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to load.
  • The Crafty Scrapper (Texas)
    Oh my, a feast for the eyes, your fingers get itchy just walking in the front door, so much stuff to behold. Located in Waxahatchie, Texas it's a bit far, good thing they have a website and decent shipping!
