Moments in Time

Moving my blog, that is. I haven't been happy with Blogspirit's design templates and, most especially, their photo displaying capabilities. So, I'm "moving" my blog over to a new one here:

http://paperandpawprints.blogspot.com/

There's not much there yet, but I won't be posting anything else here, either. I hope to get the new site really "in use" soon.

I love Bella stamps. There is a Bella for almost every occasion and they're just so darn cute. Here are two cards I made for a swap on SplitCoastStampers.com. The first is made with the PMSabella stamp. Who doesn't have those times where you just need to veg out in front of the tv in your sweats, surrounded by your favorite snacks?

Now, this stamp I *had* to buy. Her name is Lisabella. How can you not buy a stamp that has the same name as yourself?
Here's another version of this card I made when I was first working out the design of the swap card.

Happy New Year! I've given up making resolutions. I never keep them and then it's just one more thing to feel guilty about. I can feel guilty about enough things, I don't need to add anything! ;-) However, I do think I'm going to try this: http://www.triplux.com/dayzero/. I learned about this from my Sept98mom friend, Gwyneth. You make a list of 101 things that you are going to accomplish in 1001 days (approx. 2.75 years). I like this because it's a big enough list that I'm sure to complete a few things here and there which be encouraging (I'm accomplishing things) rather than discouraging (when I don't accomplish that New Year's resolution).

One more sort of New Year's-y thing I'm doing is deciding on a word for the year. Check out Ali Edward's blog for details. I know that I want my next year to be calmer and more organized (which will make it calmer). I'm just not sure of the right word yet...

For you stampers, here's a card sketch in honor of the New Year (click on any of these images to make them larger):

The sketch was inspired by my current foster dog, Chloe. (Isn't she cute?)

One more new thing.... the new Angel Company catalog & idea book is here.

There are lots of new stamp sets and a ton of new accessories and tools! Best of all... we now carry both the Bind It All and the Scor-Pal. Both of those have been on my wish list; I'm so excited! I'll be having a catalog Open House on January 19th to show off the new catalog and some of the great new items. Email me if you'd like details.

Have a great weekend!
