Scraplift Challenge

"Bad artists copy. Good artists steal."
Pablo Picasso

Hi everyone, my name is Lori and going to help Katie highlight some things for the blog. Hopefully we will have full introductions within the next week of the team that is helping. I can be found in the Digitals gallery as lorig.

We wanted everyone to know about the challenge Katie is hosting at Digitals. The Scraplift challenge for April and May has been posted. Katie has chosen a piece by Angie Young as the inspiration piece. It has many liftable elements. You could be inspired by the design, the colors, the mood invoked. Use that piece that inspires you most and create your own page then link it up in the gallery at Digitals for a bonus.

Katie has created a mini kit to go with the Lovely in Lilac theme. For full details on how to earn this mini check out the challenge. You are welcome to leave a comment here as well. We'd love to see what you've entered. Hopefully we can all inspire each other.


"Copy nature and you infringe on the work of our Lord. Interpret nature and you are an artist."

Challenge - Time is Running Out - New Clearance Items

For me, summer always seems to be a time of possibilities - warm weather, longer daylight hours, no school, even my workday seems to go faster and allow me more time for other pursuits. To go along with that amazing feeling, I've chosen one of my favorite quotes for this month's Scripture Challenge.

"With God all things are possible. ~Matthew 1 9:26"

This particular quote has so much meaning for me. I have it pasted up on my bathroom mirror, above my computer, even on the refrigerator. Every time life starts to get to me, and I wonder how I can get through the next minute, I read that and I feel instantly at peace.

Please join me for the June Scripture Challenge at Digitals to get the free wordart. Don't forget to check out my new kit, Possibilities while you're there!



Don't forget to visit my Clearance Section. There are now 20 fab kits clearance priced for just $2 EACH! Here are just a few examples.

The Greatest is Love - February Scripture Challenge

Hey y'all! I'm back again for this month. This month's bible quote is And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. ~ I Corinthians 13:13

Love is everywhere you look each February, but I hope by putting this into my scrapbook that I'll remember love can be found no matter what month it is, because God's love is always with us.

Here is the word art for this month's challenge.

Introducing Michael.



Michael is the newest member of my extended family. Michael married my niece, Amanda in May of 2007. From the first minute I met him, he earned a place in my heart. Austin was on a tear that day, and he was too loud, and too rowdy, and just too much Austin! Michael was totally unfazed by him, and played with him for several hours. Michael is a teacher, and if his relationship with Austin is anything to go by, his students must love him!

Michael Bracket Album Freebie - Day 3
