Feeling quite rested after going to bed early last night. I don't remember the last time I've done that but man, I needed it. I'll have to make an effort to do this more often. What a novel idea, getting more sleep. Hmph.

Onto more creative matters. Falling a tad behind on PL (I swore I wasn't going to call it that but it is what it is) but not feeling pressured about it. Nope. It'll get done. One thing to help me stay on track in between is to do inserts on the fly. If I happen to get something pretty in the mail or some cute packaging, I'll just attached a label, date + journal. Here I was excited to use this cut design from the new Studio Calico release and being that I'm currently obsessed with my Lyra watercolors, it made it's way onto the card.

Oh and I also finally cut something other than regular ol' cardstock. I started with heavy watercolor paper. Did really well in the Silhouette, just make sure you adjust your setting accordingly.

The feathers are available in a 3x4 size and a a little larger for layouts. I plan on framing the larger one...it's just too pretty. And I love the popular Be Brave quote. Who doesn't need a little bravery motivation now and then?

Happy Friday everyone! Oh + before I sign off, I wanted to let you know the shop will be updated with a new digital release next week. Screen prints + stamps are stil in the works. I know, I know. It's been nice getting other projects done and I'M STILL TRYING TO PURGE AND CLEAN before I start in on printing again. I'm determined to get the entire house + garage cleaned and clutter free. I seriously cannot believe I held on to the sh*t I had stored in bins. WHY??? Do I need eyelets in every color....no. I will also be having an online garage sale as well in the near future. Lot's of rubber stamps and such. I'll keep you posted. : )
