Words of Wisdom

  • The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. - Henry Ward Beecher
  • Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather a skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, throughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride!" - Hunter S. Thompson
  • 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
  • Be silly. Be honest. Be kind. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

DYL: Space Assignment 1

I am really enjoying this particular week of assignments. I like the idea of embracing "white space" though I don't do it often enough in my regular scrapbooking. But that's the whole idea of taking the course, right? Getting more comfortable with ideas that don't come naturally. (Here in week 5 of the assignments, I'm starting to get my footing, I think!)

For this the first assignment we used a self-containing mat (which I don't normally do since I generally make 2-page layouts):

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!
