Old School Scrapbooking

I love the 'Sunday Sketch' page at Studio Calico.  It is inspiring and reminds me that I can use all the embellishments that I have collected over the years - and anything I happen to have on hand.  If I find myself with 'scrappers block' I can grab one of my sketches and start working without having to think too hard.


P.S. It was a joy to browse their new on-line catalog.  Very office-supply/school supply-ish.  Some of my favorite things!



WELCOME!

Almost everyday, I see or find something I want to share with someone. That's why I'm often saying something to the effect of, "Hey! Look what I found...". As I gather ideas and inspiration from everything around me, some of these things actually turn into projects: invitations, party favors, decorations, gifts, things for my friends, things for weddings, things for my house, things to eat, etc. But truthfully, most of them go in my files. And, yes, I actually am the kind of person who goes back and looks at them. In my perfect world, I would have ample time to create (or attempt) every fabulous project, as well as endless resources to purchase all of the beautiful, unique, and sometimes quirky things I come across. But until then, I would love to be able to share this obsession I have of looking for the next incredible find. So, come back often--it will be an insight into my thoughts (which I always find entertaining, at the very least) and an adventure in creative possibilities.
