Scrapjack!

I have been wanting to have some fun with Louise and the girls at Scrapjack for ages - when I saw this month's 'victim'- one of my all time favourite scrappers, Kate Mason - I knew I had to do it! Last night the stars were in alignment (blah blah) and I managed to make something!

I love oriental lillies. I photoshopped the main picture, used a napkin for the small lily image and used Kate's own acrylic stamp beneath the pink ribbon.

I also did a painting today for the first time in must be over 15yrs!

Note to self:

If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again

by Diane Loomans

If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self esteem first, and the house later.
I'd fingerpaint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less and know to care more.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often.
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.
I'd model less about the love of power,
And more about the power of love.
