Kaleidoscope Quotations to Use in Your Scrapbooking

“Creativity is a lot like looking at the world through a kaleidoscope. You look at a set of elements, the same ones everyone else sees, but then reassemble those floating bits and pieces into an enticing new possibility." - Rosabeth Moss Kanter

"At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.” - Jean Houston

"When I have them working together, it's like a beautiful kaleidoscope."-Coleman, Ornette

Layout by Julie Ann Shahin

I created this layout with Kathryn Wilson's Kaleidescope template. If you have Photoshop Elements, use the Magic Wand tool on the PNG templates to select each triangle to crop your photo.

Here are my brand new never-seen layouts I've created with Quirky Twerp's kits...

Story:
My sweet husband took this photo of the lovey-doves on our deck because he really is a romantic at heart. It's a perfect photograph and I'm so lucky to have such a thoughtful husband. March 2009. Credits below.

Story:
When it's Haagen Dazs Ice Cream, how can you say no? So when I had the opportunity to host a free HD Ice Cream Tasting Party, I jumped at the chance. Dave's family, my mom, and our neighbors sampled the new flavors with 5 ingredients. The least favorite included coffee and passion fruit. The most delicious were vanilla bean, chocolate, and mint. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon in April. Credits below.
