Thanks. Ramblings. Cafe Press.
Tags:I put this layout together a couple weeks ago as an example of a way to play with Technique Tuesday's super awesome Functuation stamp set. They generously donated a set to each person in my Backstage Party at the Portland convention. Thanks again guys.
And yep, as you can see, I am all about the circles right now...and the Creative Memories Circle Cutter. I picked one up when I was in Virginia and I am seriously in love with it - I got to put away the bowls I was tracing to make circle shapes. Watch for more layouts with circle cut photos in the magazine in the coming months.
Simon and I had a great time at lunch with friends yesterday. We met up for pizza...felt so good to just relax while the kids ran and went crazy in the play area. I miss that part of not working so much...the daytime get togethers with other moms and kids. That connection. Loved it - thanks guys - excited to do it again.
And, I opened up a little shop at Cafe Press with some feel-good, Life Artist products. Check out the AE Manifesto line of stuff: includes a graphic with all those things I find myself saying in classes over and over. Cool little reminders to keep it all in perspective. My plan is to add new things in there periodically - as the inspiraiton strikes. Sign up for the newsletter and I will let you know when new things are added.
Back to work today...lots of things on my list.

Also, love the LO as usual.

Ali,
I love the Cafe Press line -- especially the Manifesto line. I think what you have stated is integral for every life artist to remember. As always, thanks.

Hi Ali!
I'm new to scrapbooking ... and haven't even started a single real page yet! So I'm just wondering where do I start? What adhesives are best to use? I currently have a 12x12 scrapbook album, some 12x12 stock paper, and a bunch of photos. That's it! What else do I need to start? Would love some advice!
Thanks!

What a great idea for a line of products! Kudos! You know what would also be cool--selling those sayings as digital image downloads (word art) for scrapbooking, like at 2Peas.

Well, you need to make a shirt that says "starving life artist" because that's what we'll all be after visiting cafe press. I'm broke now, but I can't wait to get my new cool stuff. Thanks Ali, you enabler! Love ya'!
