words

wow!

i feeling pretty overwhelmed and loved right now! i was asked to be the guest designer for skissadilla, a norwegian sketch site, this week too...and my apologies to them for my getting my dates mixed up, resulting in my publishing this post late!!!

so i was asked to create a sketch and a LO for them as well!!! and the skissadilla girls did some pretty cool things with the sketch i designed!! so go check it out...there is also a little prize pkg up for grabs for playing along with my sketch courtesy of me for this week!!! so go check it out!!!

and of course...we can't forget about OLW!!! karla's choice in words this round...OPEN. at first i was totally stumped...really?? open?? what kind of word is that?? but you know?? it's an amazing word for of very positive things...and came up with my own little phrase to use on my layout....

quote by me reads: when you open your mind to the possibilities that exist-you are no longer dreaming but living your dreams. and when you live your dreams- you are open to life and all it has to offer you.

figured it was fitting for the accomplishments dakota made while at lethbridge for his bmx finals 2 weeks ago...but it is fitting for so many more things in life too....

what are you open to??

feeling honoured

i am this weeks guest designer over at scrap idees...a french sketch site!!! and i am feeling a bit awed that scrappers over in france love what i do enough to ask me to be a part of what they do :)

so....

merci tres beaucoup!!! je suis honore et suis ravi!!! (mes apologies d'aucun accent ou ils devraient etre :D)

i was asked to design a sketch and create a LO for the scrap idees blog....check it out!!!

but you have to go and check out what the talented designers over there did with the sketch i designed!!! way too cool!!!

stokum falls

have you ever found a place that embodies what it means to embrace nature??? that would be here...fresh, beautiful, clean water...cutting a path thru beautiful forests...creating natural swimming pools...all the while stunning us with the sheer force of nature with waterfalls. people have been coming to stokum for decades....a place to hang, chill, swim, be seen, and just enjoy the natural beauty that is in this place.
