Southern Scraps

Busy weekend. I didn't sit down at the computer much, so I didn't post a daily quote the last two days. Here are two to catch up: The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.

Mark Twain These are rather deep. Maybe they can provoke some serious journaling if you need it for your scrapbooking.

Are you a sketch artist or do you draw or create with Prismacolor pencils, markers, etc. ? Then this challenge may be for you: http://contest.prismacolor.com/ . I was doing some research for pencils and watercolors, and found this. I'm not this type of artist. I don't think stick figures would get me anywhere. I only plan to use the pencils to color something already drawn for me, but I thought I'd share in case anyone with this talent was interested. Today's quote: Life isn't about finding yourself.

Quotes are very useful in scrapbooking and cardmaking. When you are lost for words, the right quote can help get your message across. I have been collecting quotes since I started scrapbooking. I will be sharing my thirty favorite quotes this month, one per day. With that said, here is one of my all time favorites. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in one pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW - what a ride!
