Thoughtful Thursday

Be sure and stop by for the second "thought" at thinking*through*design.... handstitching.  The layouts designed by the thoughtful girls show a variety of stitching ideas that added texture and deminsion to these amazing layouts.  I hope you will take a minute to check out the newest "thought".  

After I finished my layout for t*t*d*, I decided to make a second page, making a two page layout.  I love the photos of my darling granddaughter, Ava, and how this turned out.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!

I thought I should post one of my newest layouts to my blog...add a little excitement and color!  I scrapped this layout in April for two different challenges on Club CK.  As usual, it covered more than one challenge, Ashley's Sketch It Out  for April, with a twist to use Blue, Yellow, and Orange.  Also, for Erika's Issue Challenge #9 to make a button banner. Love how it turned out!  Thanks for looking.

I used a variety of paper on this layout....Recollections Animal Kingdom, BG Aged & Confused Yagabond and Oden Weave, Sassafras Cherry Delicious border, LYB Ivory Text and Golden Flourish.

Be sure and check this week for another "thought" on thinking*through*design.

A new adventure for me....a blog!!  I feel a little unsure about blogging, or getting started,  but I guess I will learn as I go along.  


I had been wanting to start a blog for quite some time, just needed an extra push!!  That extra push came when I was invited to be one of the charter members on a new site, thinking*through*design* .  When  approached several months ago by the founder, Erika Hayes, I was a little nervous....no, very nervous.  Although nervous at the time, I am thrilled to have the chance to join a great group of ladies.  This new site will be a place to learn, encourage, and support others in a craft that we love. 

 Encouraging designers to become strong thoughtful artist with a purpose.  Lifting up others before self and making efforts to enjoy and verbalize the beauty of work presented by ALL artist in a kind thoughtful way. To create a safe place where all designs are appreciated and welcome.

I believe that when we encourage others, we grow!!
