Thing one I am digging right now with scrapping - this book, Graphic Design Cookbook, is great.
Lo ideas, fonts, etc. AND no cooking whatsoever. My kind of cookbook. Got the idea for the font that I used in this Tattoo Lo about my sister from the book. Really liking this book. Got it because I know what I like when I see it. And I like a big variety of stuff.
SO I was wondering - why do I like what I like? AND if I could figure that out...then maybe I could produce more of what I like.
Really, I just want Sara to instantly become a graphic artist to teach me. 
Ok, so what is a snobby scrapbooker like me doing with Mat Stack from Joanne's? Ok, never seen a stack before that made me want the whole thing. Then I found this cute little book of great colors. I don't know if it is tone or hue or whatever that I like about it - but I like it. A lot. I find myself just wanting to use this for LO's. The book is like 5 " x 5"...so not a ton of paper. Really liking this. 
Thirdly, rub ons. I am trying ever so diligently to only get black or white so that I can mix and match and prolong the life span of these packets o' letters.
But as Yoda said, "Do or do not, there is no try." So in my "trying" I did get some other colors.
I am learning over July and August about Adobe. So maybe one day I will know how to just print out any cool thing I want to say on a picture or on paper in any direction I want. But for now....I really like these.
Ok, so all that said for my enjoyment only. Other people seem to have an actual purpose for their blogs. Me, I see purpose in so many other things. Why drag it in here too? kelli
