I have to share my newest FAVORITE website...
CRESCENDoh
it is a wonderful daily dose of inspiration unlike anything else I've ever seen. Be sure to check out the daily archives(link in the side bar) because there is a huge amount of fabulousness to be checked out. It is the brain child of Jenny Doh-the former editor of my beloved Somerset Studio,her style is impeccable. You won't be disappointed.

long over due

Making some long over due cards for some friends plus some to send into Stampers Sampler(I won't show those just in case they want them-they like things to be "exclusive")
But anyhooo..I am still messing around with the Distress Ink backgrounds,you should see the pile i have to work with now! Some of them as larger pieces just look crazy so I started using my punches to punch out smaller bits that i liked-I am liking the contrasting colors?? The semtiment stamps are from Hero Arts.

Bunches of bloggy goodness

So I was messing around with Distress Inks on my non stick craft sheet and my new set of stamps from Unity(designed by Donna Downey)-I bought it especially for the quotes..the images I used were from a variety of other companies...Hero Arts, Penny Black, Impression Obsession. I am anxiously awaiting a shipment of the NEW Distress ink colors-I think they are all spoken for already but I'd be happy to re-order if you want any...I will post the colors once I get them...

Spring Fever

We're supposed to get a pile of snow today but I still have Spring Fever..I am itching to change things up in the house. I'm trying to decide what i can do that won't cost much but will actually have an impact....paint is cheap but it is such a huge job-the only room that needs painted is my bedroom and it is so big it will take a few gallons. I found the bedding I want on Target.com-I am hoping it is more grey than brown-of course it isn't available in the store to look at I'd have to order it but it returnable to the store if I don't like the color. But I can't really do anything else til I order the darn thing!Maybe when we get our tax return?
Ok so I still need to do something to satisfy the urge to decorate!! I wonder if just Spring cleaning and rearranging some shelves will placate me?
