I'm so inspired by nature and especially when it involves amazing color and pattern. Butterlies, bees, colorful flowers... it's mezmerizing, really. Do you know that viewing the patterns in nature actuallly helps us think creatively? Studies have found that the color green mixed with the patterns of leaves and other plants cause our brains to think creatively. How amazing is that? Next time you're stuck for ideas or inspiration, just get outside and be inspired. I know I am today! 

I'm busy making my projects to show on air next week on HSN. I hope you'll tune in via the web or television. I'm scheduled for 10:00 a.m. eastern time and will be showing my Sizzix Textured Impressions and also my stamp line. GREAT DEALS TO BE HAD!

Oh, and I get to be a BEACH ANGEL!!! Yes, I will be laying in the beautiful white sand and swimming in the ocean this Sunday!!! One of my favorite things in life...the ocean!

I just want to say...I'm so thankful for friends... I'm getting help from Carol Heppner and Lisa Rojas, two amazing designers I know from CHA. They created some amazing projects and I'm so grateful! I'm going to be featuring both here on my blog next week so please come back to learn more about their stories, how they became professional designers, see more of their work and be inspired!

AND, if that isn't enough, several designers from the Faber-Castell design team are also helping me out! I love their products and so appreciate their assistance! More about them later, also. 

I am truly blessed.
