Starfruit: Thanks So Much

Here's my most favorite Spring Catalog swap I received from Jennifer at Leadership. (Are you surprised it uses my favorite: Summer Starfruit?)

I love color-on-color stamping. The Swallowtail makes a beautiful background piece.

Also, calling all friends!! Would you like to share a picture or two of your crafting shelf? Corner? I'm looking for organizational finds that may help others! It doesn't need to be a beautiful staged photo (it can be a messy creative place!). Please let me know if you're interested in helping out.

Have a great day!

XOXO!

One more love-y scrapbook page! It's ok, I take 1,000,000 self-portraits with Mr. Sweetest Designs and I from my phone. You know the ones :) Now I have these great projects I'm motivated to print pictures! Thanks to technology, we're taking more pictures than EVER before. Sadly, they sit on memory cards everywhere.

Remember my confession of LOVE for Summer Starfruit? Look how great it is with Basic Black! Crisp.

Do you have pictures you need to get printed this weekend? Try it!

Have a great Valentines Day.

Starfruit: with a cajun hint

Today I am sharing one of my most favorite Leadership swaps from Christine Ekrem. Of course, I'd select a Summer Starfruit card as one of my favorites. I love this layout and can't wait to use it.

Look at these great details!

Have a wonderful day.

Oh, Hello

Thank you for your kind words yesterday. I thank you for the emails and texts and you can always leave a comment below. I'll show you a little card today and then answer some of your questions.

The pink heart comes from the More Amore DSP, just carefully cut apart the hearts page.

Let me address some of your questions....(1) Mr. Sweetest Designs is getting an apple cord this week. That's 15 feet of precious cord. No more being tethered to the wall during recharge. I recommend it for your iphone or ipad lover (or maybe for yourself!).

(2) How do I find....I tag each entry, so you can find them easier. At the bottom of the post, in this nifty box, you can see the LABELS. You can bring up the other posts under the category by clicking on the link (here: A Fitting Occasion or Blooming Marvelous). This is where you can find all the projects using a particular set or something more general like Gifts or Scrapbook Page.

And while we're talking about this little box, let me mention comments. I love comments. In the same box as labels, is where you can leave one. Click on the No Comments (sad face), and a new window will open up and it's where you can leave me a note! They make me smile!

(3) Ya'll left me a note that you want to see more techniques and want to learn! I love that - so look for that feature. We'll aim for once a week.

Have a lovely Tuesday,
SHERRI

A Valentine Variety

Happy Monday everyone! Sorry for the absence, I was under the weather and just wanted to sleep! I'm trying to get back in the groove today. I am getting you caught up on what I missed sharing - lots of ideas today! Let me know if you have any specific questions, I won't be listing all the details today.
