More Art

I recently came across this incredible quote:

"If it's work people try to do less, if it's art people try to do more" 
~ Seth Godin

As an artist myself I can relate. I hustle through my daily chores so that I have time to scrapbook and make cards. I cook and then freeze meals so that when inspiration strikes I can thaw something for dinner and spend the afternoon crocheting rather than cooking. I sometimes let the laundry pile up because I am completely engrossed in my sewing project.  

I try to lessen my work and make it easier so that there is time for my art.

Because it is my art that brings me peace and happiness.

Because having time for my art relaxes me.

And when it come to my art, I always need to do more.

Card of the Week: We Remember Moments

If you have been following along with my card of the week posts for a while now, you may have noticed that my cards include a lot of patterned paper and layering, but little stamping.

The simple reason for that is I prefer layering papers over stamping. (This could very possibly provide further evidence for my cut and paste theory which you can read about here.)

But every once in a while there is a stamp that catches my eye, usually an incredible quote such as the one on this week's card.

Card Base: Recollections; Patterned Paper: Basic Grey; Cardstock: Bazzill; Button, Twill Tape: my craft stash; Stamp: bought at Michael's; Ink: Ranger Inks; Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives

Perfect for a birthday, a graduation, congratulating someone on any achievement...or for so many other times in our lives, this quote so simply and beautifully speaks the truth.

We do not remember days, we remember moments.

Love it!
