Website Friday - a double dose

In a effort to make up for missing last Friday, here is a double dose of interesting websites for you to peruse...both of them are blogs:
1.) The first one is a blog where a scrapbooker has listed 31 ways to make scrapbooky/crafty flowers...a whole month's worth! Her blog (and no, I don't know this person, but she looks like fun!) is call Pink Paper Peppermints. Some of her flower tutorials are scrapbooky, some crafty, and some are even edible. Take some time to browse...I'm sure that you could find one idea to try!!
2.) The second blog is called One Little Word - celebrating the power of words. Every other Wednesday they give a new word, and challenge you to do a layout focusing on that word. In between words, they show a new technique & challenge you to use it. This blog is a great way to push your layouts & your journaling to the next level!
Good luck with the new techniques that you might discover!

Website Friday - Titles

Today, I wanted to share a database that I just discovered. Sometimes it is so hard for me to be inspired when it comes to titles. Mine are usually, well, boring. So, I have bookmarked this page at Scrapbook.com to use in my scrapbooking - a whole database of titles, already pre-thought-up-of for me!! Can't get better than that when I am un-inspired!!

Crop tomorrow!!

Don't forget our monthly crop tomorrow, May 16th. Don't forget your swap items. See you there!

New Month = New Poll

Scroll on down the right hand side a little for our latest poll that ends on May 31st. We will share the results in our next newsletter.

Website Friday

OK - I've been so busy the last couple of weeks, but I have a REALLY COOL website to share with you. www.wordle.net!!! Wordle is a webtoy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. Once you get to the website, click on "Create your own". Type in a bunch of words (descriptions work well) and click "Go". This will bring up a "word cloud". Don't like how it turned out?? Click on "Randomize", and keep clicking until you find one you like. Then, print it out. Isn't that cool?!?! I haven't figured out how to use it on a layout yet, but I will one day!
