the Fiskars scissor-like punch of the
1 1/2 inch pumpkin is the perfect shape
and size to punch out the pumpkins from
the "pumpkin patch" paper from My Minds Eye...The first
photo shows the sheet of paper, with the punch, the second photo shows some punches in a project (OK, Fine, it is one of the make-and-take free
projects for this Saturday...you forced it out of me...note to self--do not become a spy.) Even though some of the printed pumpkins are larger than the punch, it still comes out perfectly!! I feel like Magellan, the discoverer, standing on the brink of the Fountain of Youth...or whatever he was discovering, or Madame Curie, as she discovered penicillin...kids, do not use me as a source for any of your term papers...really!Thank you to everyone who is participating in the blog question of the week. I love reading all the answers, and I am actually taking notes on all of them. I hope, over time, that everyone gets a chance to win!!

Oh there are so many quotes I love!!! One of my favorites is "Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself." The author is unknown.
ReplyDeleteAnother favorite that I think would work great as a minibook theme is: "Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination with take you ANYWHERE." (Albert Einstein)
And I just have to share one more: "You can't depend on your eyes if your imagination is out of focus." (Mark Twain)
I think "There's no place like home" said by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz would make a great mini-album...

I don't know exactly how you would incorporate it into a scrapbook, but my favorite quote is, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans" by John Lennon.
ReplyDeleteIt must be other peoples favorite quote too because I've seen it on two rubber stamps.
I also like: "Some people live in the fast lane. I live in on coming traffic".
Family faces are magic mirrors looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future.

"A picture is worth a thousand words" I try to do this with many of my photos. Don't know who said it first.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeleteI must have a birthday mini-book in mind. Here are a couple current favorite quotes of mine:
"The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been." from Madeline L'Engle.
"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?" unknown author (to me.)
Thanks for sharing!!
i'm into art journaling right now and this quote is one that keeps popping into my head...would be a great start for a mini!

I have done a mini book using the quote: "If you could tell the story of your life by taking someone to half a dozen places, where would you go?" - John Kotre
ReplyDeleteI actually made a little accordion book this past week based on this quote by Marcel Proust: "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." I'm thinking that this would make a wonderful rubber stamp! Anne Thompson, the Woodshed, Maine
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite quotes:
ReplyDelete"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but
by the moments that take our breath away."....anonymous
Here are 2 quotes I have actually used for a "sunset mini book" and a "rainbow mini book"
ReplyDeleteThe sky broke like an egg into full sunset and the water caught fire. by Pamela Hansford Johnson
When it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. without the rain, there would be no rainbow. by G.K. Chesterton
Enjoy, Helen
"Change is the only thing you can count on"
ReplyDeleteI don't really remember who said it, but I use it almost every day in my job.
It would be great to highlight the changes my fashion has been through all these years (in a scrapbook page)
"I am only as strong as the hairspray I use, the coffee I drink and the friends that I have."
ReplyDeleteA quote foe all the friends out there!
