Hodgepodge

As promised - here are the fun finds I've located in the last two days.

*Video on highlighting images from Jennifer McGuire.

*Great post by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer on overworking layouts - I'm totally guilty of this pretty much ALL THE TIME.

*I love Tiffany Johnson's take on the new cityscape stamp from Hero Arts.

*Totally in love with Katie Watson's take on the new chipboard bumblebee mini album fro Maya Road. I absolutely love all things bee related.

*Speaking of bees - I love Larissa Albernaz's scrapbook layout.

*Love the background on the second card from this post at The Classroom. I love the layering and the dandelion frame background stamp from Hero Arts.

*Love this card on The Spotted Chick blog. I want to attempt to color one my lollipops on kraft paper. I might have just a little left!

*I love using the lined image for a card as seen on the second card on this post on Cards By Kerry. I always color my images - love the beautiful simplicity of using the line drawing.

*I love the rose cupcakes on the Cupcakes Take the Cake blog - wondering how I can create that on paper.

*Love this video on Green Wedding Shoes documenting a really fun proposal. Also makes me think that anyone who doesn't think graffiti is art is deluding themselves. I wonder how they make those perfect circles. Hmmmm.

*Love the interior and exterior design of this cupcake shoppe on the "Oh Joy!" blog. Isn't that the cutest trailer ever!

*Can't wait to listen to this new podcast when I'm reunited with my iTunes.

*I think these cupcake plates are divine. BTW - Did you notice the illustrations on this blog - exactly like the cuppie stamps at Taylored Expressions.

*The food and recipes on the Taste Spotting blog look so yummy. I'm not sure who searches all over the internet for these recipes but I'm thankful for them!

I hope this has been an inspiring post on some of the things I think are fantastic right now. Tomorrow I will be back with the CHA sneak peeks that are currently making me drool. Hope everyone has a great afternoon/evening. Until then...

P.S. Sorry the pics from my first post of the day weren't stellar. I was using an unfamiliar camera.

About Me

I am a crafter trying to learn to find my way and nurture my creativity. I flirt with scrapbooking and cardmaking on a semi-regular basis and long to sink my teeth into mixed-media works and art journaling. I'm hoping to make the transition soon. I'm an avid reader, blog stalker, and pinterest junkie. I collect art and craft magazines by the bundle. I have a passing acquaintance with Twitter and love any opportunity to find new sources of inspiration. I absolutely love all things cupcake and secretly hope to be a master cake baker some day. I also am an animal lover - including the crazy, banshee cat I have living in my home - otherwise known as Tonks or Roo or Rooba and the list goes on. Thanks for stopping by.

"But nothing important, or meaningful, or beautiful, or interesting, or great ever came out of imitations. The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself."

~Anna Quinlan

For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
