Jan is a*mazing at finding stuff all across the globe that is not only unique, but just plain drop*dead*inspiring! So, when she gave House of 3 a shout out, I was jumping up & down with glee!
Thanks so much, Jan!

Nie Nie...Hooray for Nie Nie!

I know a lot of the blogging world has paid close attention to Nie Nie's Recovery. Stephanie's story of courage & miracles inspiRes me everyday when I read her blog or her sister's- cjane.
Her posts as of late have really got me cheering for her & her family. Her spirit, courage & honesty teach me to persevere. Thanks, Stephanie, for being such a source of inspiration to the world. We are still praying for you & your family.

And this week when I received the latest (& last) edition of Digital Scrapbooking Magazine I was so happy to see the shout out they did for Nie Nie Recovery. They've got a shot of my ATC cards I did with the Silhouette Digital Kit.
It's a beautiful HUGE kit & 100% of the proceeds goes to Nie Nie Recovery.
Loved being a part of the collaboration for it...run on over & buy it! ;)

I also loved Anna Aspnes' article on my Urban Junque collections. Thanks, Anna, you did a fabulous job! *and all of the contributing artists...wow!

Ok...have a fabulously cReative day & enjoy the pRocess!

adventuRe #9....

Many of you know that right now.....as I type, the CHA show is underway. And I'm so excited about this announcement from Scrapblog! For all you Scrapblog lovers, this is so amazing. This site is on fire & it's fantastic to have these design companies involved with Scrapblog to offer you amazing designs for YOUR scrapblogs! So, be looking for more info on this...if you loved my French Twist collection, Bellisimo collection & others...you'll LOVE what you can get over at Scrapblog! Exciting!

and...while I'm at it..I figure this is a good time to address this....

I've had many emails asking if I have any products at this CHA show. The answer is No. I've stopped designing with Autumn Leaves. It's been a great ride, but like I'd mentioned earlier this year...it's a time now in my life to 'shake things up.' trust me..I"m shakin' and bakin'...more to come!

and speaking of my products....
Check this out. My friend Ferrill sent me this link. My jaw dropped when I saw this on My Sweet and Saucy!Talk about a cReative way to use my acrylic stamps! Wow! I am soo impressed!
Truly.
I'm impressed.

*Uh*hum...adventure #2?

I knew there was electRicity in the air...I could feel it. But, this fast? I feel like I'm on turbo speed & one day after another...how about 1 hour after another...amazing things are happening!

For instance; just opening this blog has led me to many cool people. (that's what I love about the blog world!) and...the other day Gabreial from Vintage Indie contacted me about her awesome site. Ok, now not to sound silly or anything, but I was a little *star struck*. You see, I have adored her site for some time..I love Vintage...I'm a bona fide Vintage junkie! And so, when she asked if I could help her spruce up her site I was deeelighted! *squeal*

Check this out!
I am loving the new*found creative fReedom this past week..I've been cReating like crazy & all. for. fun. Sometimes, I feel like cReatively you have to shake things up. There's nothing worse for cReativity than the same old, same old, ya know? So, 2009 is the year for shakin' up!

And on that note: some of you might have heard, I'm no longer a Garden Girl or designer over at Two peas anymore....lest any *rumors* should start, I wanted to say one thing. I love 2ps. & always will. There just comes a time when you feel like you gotta make some changes...& that's all it is. change. and change is good!

I have loved working with 2ps...they are a*mazing & the whole ride was fabulous! The artists I've worked with have always inspiRed me & working with the whole digital section has been so fun! Thanks, everyone! It's been 4 years & wow...look how digital scrapbooking has just exploded! I love 2ps for that!!!!

I recently created this layout about just enjoying the pRocess....I think change is an important part of that process...life is full of changes & I want to embrace them so I can continue enjoying the pRocess!
