Feeling Lucky!

Call it luck, karma, or fate... but I believe that everything happens for a reason. We, of course, have influence to steer our luck, but sometimes a path seems to be paved for us to steer our way through. This month, think about your lucky situations and how things happen to always work out somehow!

A great idea for a layout might be a "What If" page! What if I didn't go to this school and not met my husband, or what if I had won a million dollars with that last lottery ticket.. what if! Read below for Beth's outlook on a "What If" layout and a sample.

This month's Simply Digital Plus showcases the fibers/ribbons of CottageArts.net. Fibers are a great way to add texture and depth and really give a layout the "paper-scrapped" feel. Also, learn how to make a straight fiber look a little more free-flowing in our Digital Tips section.

Have a wonderful, lucky month, and happy scrapping!  See our newsletter specials below!

WHAT IF...
...everybody could get at least
 three hugs a day.
...kindness could be dispersed
 as freely as dandelion fluff.
...we could have the simple faith
we had as children.
...we could speak every kind
 word that came to mind.
...sunshine could cure cancer.
...lightning bugs could twinkle in colors.
...memories could stay vivid through the years.
...we could collect stars to
 light our garden paths.

WHAT IF... It's the little things in life that make us LUCKY. Sometimes, we get caught up in the notion that luck has to do with grandiose and frivolous things and forget what is truly important. I was lucky enough to have the most wonderful mother-in-law who was a true spreader of sunshine.  Sadly, she recently passed away and I was asked to put some photos together for the funeral.  Amongst the family photos, I found a newspaper clipping she had saved and it truly expresses the "WHAT IF's..." we should ask ourselves each day.
