Is There Such a Thing as 'Luck'?

Happy Friday friends! It's been a busy week here by the beach at SFTIO HQ as we received (almost) the last of our shipments from Winter CHA orders. Our DT is about to begin work on the May and June kits and these kits are full of gorgeous paper lines and unique embellishments - I'm personally really excited to get my creative hands on them!

I hope you're loving the behind the scenes look shared this week on the blog into symbolism and design of the layouts and art journal spreads created by our DT with the April FORTUNE kit. I'm always amazed at how our designers are able to create their own interpretations of the symbols we include in the kits. There's always something new to discover.

Yesterday, Kai shared with us a cloud of synonyms and offered some thoughts on her favorites. One of the definitions that jumped right out at me is luck. As I get ready to post this month's challenges, I've been thinking...is there such a thing as luck, or is what we call luck actually the residue of hard work.

The use of the word 'luck' sounds to me to be an expression of things, good or bad, being somewhat out of our control or beyond our ability to make an impact.

Am I lucky if I get a great job, or did I work to create the circumstances that led me to it? If I find the love of my life, is it because I'm lucky, or because I put myself in situations where I was likely to encounter people with similar values?

And of course all of this begs a larger question - is what we call luck actually what comes our way by design from a higher power?

Random...impacted by my actions...or destined...

I don't know for sure. Maybe it's some of all three.

As I've grown and changed as a person, I've increased how much responsibility I want to take for my own circumstances. Generally, I don't want to believe that life is a series of random events...so I vacillate between seeing life as the direct outcome of my choices and it being a series of blessings and challenges - brought to me by whatever force binds us together.

I want to believe that there's a purpose and a meaning in all of what life brings me. There are just too many magical, connected and mysterious events in our lives for me to believe it's all a roll of the dice. And I want to have an impact on those events by making the choices that feel authentic to my soul.

So let the chips fall where they may...as long as they're my chips and they were given to me by a loving power that wants the best for me.

Enjoy the coming weekend and the FORTUNE kits that are zipping their way across the globe to your doorsteps. Our deep and meaningful challenges begin next week!

I look forward to welcoming you soon...

Motivation Monday

Good Morning!

It sure is hard around this time of year to get motivated with so much on the to do list! I know it is even harder to try and find time for yourself to make something that means something to YOU and not just a gift for a teacher, friend or family member. The time you give to yourself though is so important. A few moments of solitude to try and gather your thoughts. Those times are creative recharge. (or a Mom recharge or a good employee recharge or a daughter recharge.. the list goes on and on!!!)

I try and find those small moments when I can steal away and re-engerize my creative self. 20 minutes on pinterest at lunch! Or when my girls are in Sunday School I make a trip to Barnes and Nobles and sit by the magazines soaking up all the beautiful Somerset family of magazines (do you know how many they publish??? http://www.stampington.com/magazines/index.php), photography magazines and if you can believe... Even tattoo magazines! The artwork sometimes is so beautiful and can spur an idea! I then move on to the books and can spend time in the crafts section. The home dec sections and usually end up in the inspirational books. I can always seem to find one that just hits home to where I am exactly on that day. (yesterdays purchase was "the ME I want to be")

So in this BUSY time of year.. try (and I know it is HARD!!) to take that time to "hear". Recharge and embrace that time. (even if it is just 5 minutes!!!)

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season...

PS.. the latest issue of SCRAP365 (from England) has a great few pages about ideas for your paper scraps!! pg. 50 and 51! (see.. I am making you get to a store to look and take time for you!!!)

Behind the Scenes with Diana

Today we have the talented Diana, from our design team, sharing a little bit more about one of her layouts, using the September kit - Innocence. Let's take a closer look, shall we, at how Diana approached this emotion - inside out style.

Follow Your Heart by Diana Brodeur for Scrapbooking from the Inside Out

1. What prompted you to pick this take on innocence ?

As many moms know, their kids mean the world to them. They will do anything to shield and protect their kids as best as they can but we live in a world where that is a very hard thing to do. The innocence topic made me think about how kids are exposed to so many things way sooner than I was in my youth. This layout is my feelings on this.

2. Why did you choose this photo?

I chose these photos because I felt that they best represented the topic of the layout.

3. How do you feel about the message of your layout?

In some ways, the message of this layout makes me sad. As much as I hope my kids go through life happy, I know that they will have some sad times ahead and I can only hope that I can be there for them. To comfort them. To hold them in my arms and tell them everything will be alright.

4. What symbolism did you pull into your design?

The two butterflies represent my kids and their innocence. At some point, their innocence will "fly" away. I just hope that it's not anytime soon.

5. Tell us a little bit about how you feel now that you have "let it all out" on this page. 

I feel relieved. One day when my girls get older and they have kids of their own, they will know that I had some of the same feelings they will probably have with their own children. 

I love how Diana was able to include her children on a layout, while still capturing her own thoughts and feelings. By comparing her own childhood innocence with what her children experience in todays' world, it ends up being a beautiful expression of something deep inside Dianas' heart.

Rachel's Ramblings...On Individuality and How to Source Kits that Matter

Each year as we get ready for the Craft and Hobby Association winter show, also known as CHA, we start thinking about themes and concepts to share with our members in the coming months. For those of you new to the scrapbook world, CHA is the for-the-trade only show where manufacturers display their upcoming products and buyers (like us) make their decisions about what to bring to market as retailers.

For our SFTIO team in particular, ordering is not a matter of simply finding the prettiest and most innovative materials, but ones that tell a story in a cohesive way. We don't make definitive buying decisions at the show itself; we meet as a team after the show for three to four days and analyze our choices based on paper lines that caught our eye. We then look at the paper lines with an emotional bent - what paper lines fit together in color and mood? What do we feel when we see those papers? What can we imagine scrapbooking about with those supplies? Afterwards, we seek out brand new embellishments - alphas, unique media, great color, and of course, icons and symbols that evoke expression and truth.

I'm always amazed that we never seem to run out of ideas...we typically end the week of CHA with more themes than we can handle - and then need to narrow down from 9 or 10 potential themes to 6...always difficult as we get so attached to the ideas we've generated! They often find a home in the following six months.

So why am I rambling on about all this? It's because I am uber-proud of the amazing women who support me and help find you not just the best of the best, but the most meaningful. There are other good kits out there...but too often I find them looking the same month after month, with those retailers sticking to an aesthetic rather than going for something deeper.

I love what we stand for...and how each of our kits contains only the latest releases, matched with an artist's eye and a poet's heart.

Does it make sourcing kits harder? Yes! We can't just pick out our favorite lovelies and mix and match 'em whenever they arrive. But I'd never trade the fun, the discussion, the variety that makes each kit a unique creation that doesn't mirror the previous months' kit. Each one stands alone as a testament to INDIVIDUALITY! We promise to keep bringing you the best kits and the most meaning...never looking for the easy route, but the one that will help YOU create layouts that speak to your soul and leave you feeling fully expressed and free to create the future you wish for.

What emotions would you love to see in upcoming kits? Let us know here in comments and we'll pick a winner who will receive our current kit, INDIVIDUALITY...we'll have our giveaway open until Sunday 1-22 at noon Pacific.

 

Stick with us...we've got SO much more to share! Thanks for your business and support. Stand out...be you...don't be one of the crowd, express your INDIVIDUALITY and be a part of SFTIO!

Love,

Why Scrapbook Difficult Topics?

He that conceals his grief finds no remedy for it. Turkish Proverb



With all the emotions we cover in our kits at Scrapbooking from the Inside Out, the ones that seem to get our members most inspired are the ones that start out sounding 'negative'. No matter what the theme of a kit, we explore both sides of the coin, but when we start with a word like 'LOSS', there's something deeply moving that happens.

Good tears start to flow. Old pains subside. Hearts are lightened and lifted.

For me, that's the whole idea...to move this amazing, multimedia, hands-on craft from day-to-day review toward life-altering and life-affirming catharsis.

Here's our October kit, LOSS. Perfect for all your autumn thoughts, as well as the ones that reside in the autumn of your mind. What do you want to lose so you can gain even more? What losses from your past are ready to fly away?

Strength Inspiration

It's never too late to join in and share a layout about any emotion - here's the July 2009 STRENGTH Inspiration page!

Journaling Prompts

Your Inner Reserves: It’s been said that all that you need for this journey is already within you. Are you connected to an inner reserve of personal strength? What does it look like and feel like? How do you gain access to it? Do you recall a specific time in your life when you’ve been able to connect with your inner strength and use it to move forward?

Powerful and Feminine: Some think there’s a tension between strength and femininity. What do you think? Do you subscribe to traditional views of masculinity and femininity? Do women wield different sorts of power than men? Do you see yourself as powerful, and in what ways? Who are women of great strength that you can think of, and how have they influenced your life?

Physical Strength: As time goes on, we lose some of our physical strength, and perhaps gain some wisdom. Some of us start out as physically stronger than others, and some of us build our physical strength over time. Are you physically strong – do you stay healthy? Do you struggle with health issues? Do you consider yourself a hearty soul or a sluggish one? Do you do anything to improve your health or physical strength in any way, and if so, do you do it to look good or to feel good?

Weakness: At least once in a while, it’s nice to let other people be in charge and allow ourselves to be weak. Do you ask for help when you need it? Do you find that you rely more on others, or that others rely more on you? Is weakness a fault to you? Was someone in your past a weak figure, and if so, how did that impact your view of weakness today? Are there times that you become drained – and what do you do to remedy that, or do you surrender?

Music

Quotes:

Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength. August Wilson

It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind. Alex Karras

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. Lao Tzu

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. Anais Nin

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. Mahatma Gandhi

The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way. Robert Kiyosaki

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up. Pearl S. Buck

What does not kill me makes me stronger. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Don't wish me happiness-I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor-I will need them all. Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich. Tao Te Ching

Success is achieved by developing our strengths, not by eliminating our weaknesses Marilyn vos Savant

For an impenetrable shield, stand inside yourself. Henry David Thoreau

Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance. Samuel Johnson

Solitude is strength; to depend on the presence of the crowd is weakness. The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines. Paul Brunton

Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts; not amid joy. Arthur Helps

People do not lack strength, they lack will. Victor Hugo

What we actually learn, from any given set of circumstances, determines whether we become increasingly powerless or more powerful. Blaine Lee

Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself. Elie Wiesel

Strength is a matter of the made-up mind. John Beecher

All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions. James Freeman Clarke

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it. Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield but to my own strength. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved but hope for the patience to win my freedom. Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure. Rabindranath Tagore

Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle. A tree that is unbending is easily broken. Lao Tzu

Remember, you are braver than you believe, you are stronger than you seem, and you are smarter than you think. AA Milne

Like water, be gentle and strong. Be gentle enough to follow the natural paths of the earth, and strong enough to rise up and reshape the world. Brenda Peterson

True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life, through devotion, to something beyond himself. Henry Miller

I don't believe in anything and that makes me stronger than you think. Anne Rice

Storms make trees take deeper roots. Dolly Parton

Concentration is the secret of strength. Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength. Maya Angelou

There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up. Booker T. Washington

Perhaps I am stronger than I think. Thomas Merton

He possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence; courage without ferocity; and all the virtues of man without his vices. Lord Byron

When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid. Audre Lorde

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt

It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do. Elbert Hubbard

Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of. Jonathan Swift

Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength. Frances de Sales

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Mohandas K. Gandhi

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. Rachel Carson

All too often arrogance accompanies strength, and we must never assume that justice is on the side of the strong. The use of power must always be accompanied by moral choice. Theodore Bikel

Strength and wisdom are not opposing values. William J. Clinton

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. Carlos Castaneda

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. Charles Darwin

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. Mahatma Gandhi

Power over others is weakness disguised as strength. True power if within, and it is available to you now. Eckhart Tolle

Oh soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul. Jalal al-Din Rumi

love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun more last than star e.e. cummings

Concrete is heavy; iron is hard - but the grass will prevail. Edward Abbey

A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. Christopher Reeve

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it. Pablo Picasso
