Life has been busy. In between making cards, checkbook covers and picture frames - I somehow found time to do some scrapbooking. My youngest grandson's 1st birthday had a sailboat theme, and I decided to design a sailboat since I did not own any boat type embellishments. I went thru all my cricut cartridges to no avail. So I drew out a design on paper and started with a large circle which I cut in half for the bottom of the sailboat. Two triangles and a small flag completed my boat. I like to think outside of the box, but time constraints don't always allow me the luxury of dreaming. I realized lately, when I slow down and breathe, I can see what I create in all kinds of new ways. I also found an old stencil which had a wave on the edge. I used two different color inks to create the waves so my boat could sail!!
I'm hoping this blog will be fun and informative for everyone who stops by. I like to share new cards and techniques, as well as daily life experiences.

Creating a design for a scrapbook
