The Divine Within Us

Here is another thought to ponder, from the book, "Molokia'i":

"I've come to believe that how we choose to live with pain, or injustice, or death . . . is the true measure of the Divine within us. Some . . . choose to do harm to themselves and others. Others . . . bear up under their pain and help others to bear it."

A Comment on Fear

I'm reading a good book: "Moloka'i" by Alan Brennert, and something I read this morning struck me. I wanted to share it with you:

"Fear is good. In the right degree it prevents us from making fools of ourselves. But in the wrong measure it prevents us from fully living. Fear is our boon companion but never our master."

January Stamp of the Month Art #12

Art by Julie Reynolds

Thinking inside the box! This card, cut with Cricut Art Philosophy, leaves a perfect little window for a sweet little message. Our buttons are so darned cute, I couldn't help but stack a couple here! And suddenly, what was once a paper used for Christmas cards (Wonderland) now turns into something welcoming a new little one into the world . . .

January Stamp of the Month Art #10

Art by Tina Dupin


The nice big 5 x 7 format gives Tina loads of room here to make the most of her textured layering. Buttons, flowers, paper squares . . . Pile them on to make a cheerful card that can't help but make you smile! And don't let all the cutting out of flowers scare you off . . . because it's made SIMPLE with our Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge - it has a cut designed perfectly for this particular flower image!
