Saving O' the Green

Happy St. Patrick's Day  from me...
I DO feel lucky because
You're here to celebrate the wearin' of the green with me!
I wanted to share a couple things with you today
First off, I made my FIRST card by hand today...
Isn't it just ADORABLE?!
And the inside of the card...
I find that using stickers makes it a no fail way to create!
No slip of the inkpad or messy handwriting attempts
though you do have to position carefully!
My inspiration for my beautiful card came from Scrapbook Trends Magazine Online Card magazine March 2010 page 25...
And what I love most about this online site is that you can purchase all their magazines
as an ONLINE only version for a
FRACTION of the price of buying them in the store
PLUS you have reduced the buildup of magazines piling up around the house!
I was thinking that I'd LOVE all of the magazines I adore to all become available
online so that I could free up the clutter in my house
because I have found I enjoy the magazines MORE online than otherwise.
Why?
Well, one, because I work near a computer all day so they're readily available to flip through
when I have a free minute.
Number two, the ads inside are all mouse clickable to take you right to websites for that product.
This is fantastic as I don't forget to look it up later like I do with paper copies.
I click as I flip through the magazine
Number three, I can make images larger with one click...
I can bookmark projects I like for later...
and for $9.99 a month I get all their crafty magazines each month
which is a LOT cheaper than buying them in the store!
Come on, Mary Englebreit, couldn't you start an online version
of your beloved Home Companion for us?!!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

  2. I can sympathize with you when it comes to a studio that looks like yours does. It's a constant battle to keep mine in some semblance of order. But, to make myself feel better, I have a very lovely little plaque that says, "Creative Mess is Better Than Idle Neatness" - and I truly believe that. lol

  3. Suzie,

    I feel your pain with all the glitter and mess. Thank goodness my glitz and glam station is in my basement.

    I just adore the second Easter bunny and would love to give him a new home.

    Happy Pink Saturday,

    Cathy

  10. Happy Pink Saturday, Suzie. Girl, you had me laughing aloud. When my son was a teenager, he said it looked like Santa threw up over our house. Aren't our children a delight?! ;-)

    The green one is my favorite, but I love both. I've got my fingers crossed. Thank you for this opportunity to win.
