COLOUR ME HAPPY
April 16, 2010


So here I am finally, in a world I never thought I would be. I truly have to say a BIG thank you to my two fans, Emily and Helen, who if it were not for them and there encouragement, I would have never entered this little land of blogspot dot com. I am here and glad to be able to share with all (even if it is just Emily and Helen), all the wonderful musing of my daily life, which include just the everyday, art journaling, scrapbooking and of course the enthusiasm of where I spend most of my days, at Stamping Bella......Well this all brings me to the title of my first blog entry COLOUR ME HAPPY. I did this layout inspired by all the wonderful stuff we call "Happy Tape", I mean who would not want to own all these rolls of fabulous colour. However, just sitting and doing my layout, reminded me of all the things I truly am happy for....the simple things....the things we tend to overlook when daily life and exhaustion take over.
Sit down and think about it....think about something that makes YOU happy RIGHT NOW. Take a picture of it, write about it, document it....turn it into a scrapbook page.....c'mon.....I CHALLENGE YOU. You will be glad you did in the years to come.
I also used one of the stamps from the new Stamping Bella Scraplines, the label block "Photo of the Day"....got to say, I just love this set.
And now an apology.....my photography of layouts is terrible....sometimes crooked, sometimes cropped, however, I do make it one of my goals of this blog to improve on those skills....so I hope that for all who read this....you stay with me on this wonderful journey, and to the two people who I know will read this first......THANK YOU, I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.

  5. WOW!! From I wanna start a blog to what Linda said...look at the fancy background and the great photo of you!! The page on the Happy Tape is OUTSTANDING!!!!! I love how the tape works on a layout and if I could go to IKEA RIGHT now and take a picture, I would be happy to make a layout about it. Sadly, I must work. :( Can NOT wait to see this tomorrow, in person.
