Have you ever just fallen in love with a scrapping product? A product that encourages you to stretch your design skills in new directions? I'm that way with Maya's Street Smarts collection at Scrapbookgraphics.
I downloaded one six-sheet paper pack, and quickly polished off three layouts. Two, I'm submitting to magazines, but here's the third, On Naming Cats.
That's my 17-year-old cat, Princess, who is without doubt, one of the most demanding and contrary cats you ever hope to meet.
The copy reads: In his poem, "The Naming of Cats," T. S. Eliot claims that all cats have three names: the name the family uses daily, a dignified name, and a secret name "that no human research can discover– But The Cat Himself Knows, and will never confess." Once upon a time, our cat had a serious and dignified name, but no one in the family can recall what it was. With her demanding ways and regal walk, our cat soon became known as "The Princess," and that is the name that has stuck. As for her secret name, that we do not know. She’s not the kind of cat to share affection or secrets.

Re: Shutterfly Albums and Deadlines
Three months ago, I received an offer for a free Shutterfly classic album. In order to take advantage of the offer, it has to be completed by Nov. 15. So here I sit, on this gray and rainy Kentucky morning, with exacly FOUR pages completed out of 20.
It's going to be a gift for my grandson -- a story book about his visits to our house. Here's the title page. The book has a peek-a-boo cover so only Max's face will show when the book is closed. Wish me luck on meeting the deadline. :-)
Everything here is from the Scrapbookgraphics collaboration kit, Gratitude.
