Whatever is read...

The more that you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you'll go.~ Dr. Seuss

Books are great not only for learning, but for inspiration too! For the next issue of Scrapstreet, Graffiti is looking for your creations based on a book cover.

The cover of Dr. Seuss' book, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" was the motivation for this layout, both in color and shape. Using paper from October Afternoon (Schoolhouse) and patterned paper from Colorbok, I re-created the swirly patterns found on Dr. Seuss' book--which also happens to be a popular read around Graduation time--a perfect match! One only gets to wear a graduation gown so many times in their life (unless you are my husband, he's worn one a few more times than the average).

Now it's your turn, "grab your jacket". A book jacket that is! I'm looking for your projects inspired by book cover art and there is a whole load of other submission calls for the next issue of Scrapstreet, just click right here to check them out. You, yes you (well, actually, your project) could be in the next issue coming out July 1st. Get going! Deadline for submission is May 19th.

Whatever is cold...

Yesterday I was sharing spring...today it is back to winter!  I'm back with another of Smitha Katti's  Quilt Blocks of the Month over at Fiskars.  This is Quilt Block #4 if you are counting.  These are papers from Close to My Heart, Colorbok, and other mish-mashes.  My favorite paper is the lavendar paper that I embossed with a Swiss Dots folder (from Cuttlebug).  It's hard to tell in the picture, but I ran a silver mettalic ink pad over the tops of the dots and it looks really "cool".

Now depending on how much I choose to ignore my children (who are off from school with me all week), I may just have another new post tomorrow---that will really cause some lids to flip!  Three days in a row--I don't know if I can do it!
