Dance like Nobody’s Watching

Don’t you love this quote?

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth."

- William W. Purkey

There are poems, quotes & lyrics that gained inspiration from these words, including this beautiful song “I hope you dance” by Lee Ann Womack. (I’m hoping my daughter will sing this for me one day!)…….

one of my fav’s

When I saw this little dancer digi stamp, I knew immediately that I wanted to use some of these words on the card.

So here’s the latest card I made for the Progressive challenge over at CDAC…

My Studio

Thought I’d share some photos from around my studio.

I love these pretty rose & bead door knob tassles hanging from one of my cupboards.

These candy-jars hold my flower embellishments – each jar holds a different colour.

Love my ‘create’ sign. Bought a few years ago when we visited the USA. This comes from a Home Depot store in Connecticut.

(I so wish we had Home Depot here!)

Two Sunday’s ago, I sewed some oil-cloth covers for my sewing machine, overlocker and my printer. I still have to make one for my embroidery machine and Silhouette. (* Note to self- go buy the extra fabric you need to finish these!!)

A vintage Coca Cola box filled with my oil painting materials & a pretty bucket full of pencils. (No matter how many pencils I have, I always lose them and end up with none!)

My studio seems to always be a work-in-progress. I’ll show some more pics once the rest of the space has been tidied up more.

Do you have photos or a blogpost of your studio? Do share a link here!

Digital Stamp Drawing Challenge

I’m really surprising myself – two posts in one day!

I decided to have a go at drawing digi stamps over at CDAC. There’s a regular digi stamp drawing challenge, this one’s theme is “Things that Hang”.

I decided to keep my first one very simple. Not quite sure what I’m doing yet LOL~!

So here it is :

Card Craft

Today I’m sharing with you another card I made for CDAC for the progressive challenge.

I used this cute little chef with a birthday cake by Jenlee.

I coloured it in Photoshop CS3, added the ‘happy birthday’ text background and a border. I then used the Atomic Cupcake rub-on action over the entire card to create a bit of a distressed look.

I printed it out, then used my sewing machine to stitch around the edge of the card in white thread. To end off, I used my favourite Vintage Photo distress ink around the edges of the card.

001 copyHave a great day!
