Jennifer Woodward: "My blog features a
combination of my favorite past times:
rubberstamping and card making, sewing,
gardening, cooking and my animals. Whenever
possible I like to combine my varied
interests into one project. Finding a
connection between paper and ink, to
thimbles and bobbins, to spatulas and mixing
bowls, or a greeting card inspired by
animals and nature is the focus of my blog." |

Escape may be as easy as finding joy in the simple things,
like family and friends. This is easier when we have a good
excuse to get together. Celebrating our American heritage is
as easy as pie, whether you do it in the backyard with
sparklers or at the water’s edge watching fireworks,
commemorate these times by dedicating a layout or two.

"So, you have decided
to take up rubber stamping, but find choosing stamps
and inkpads costly? Well here is a tip for all of
you who have collection of water based markers for
your scrapbooks. Markers are great for this simple
project. There is a wonderful technique called “direct
to rubber”. This versatile technique is easy to
do, requires no stamp pads, and works wonders in
your scrapbooks." |

"These pictures were taken in May of 2008, when we had
gotten an extraordinarily warm weekend for the springtime.
My sons, Thomas and Stefan, enjoyed the opportunity to play
outside without thick winter jackets and overalls. Well, who
wouldn't? I tried to capture the boys’ playfulness in the
layout."
