Somewhere there's a river, looking for a stream
Somewhere there's a dreamer, looking for a dream
Somewhere there's a drifter, trying to find its way
Somewhere someone's waiting to hear somebody say
I believe in you, and I can't even count the ways that
I believe in you, and I want to do is help you to believe in you
Somewhere someone's reaching trying to grab that ring
Somewhere there's a silent voice learning how to sing
Some of us can't move ahead we're paralyzed with fear
And everybody's waiting, to hear somebody say
I believe in you, and I can't even count the ways that
I believe in you, and all I want to do is help you to believe in you
I will hold you up
I will help you stand I will comfort you when you need a friend
I will be the voice that's calling
I believe in you and I can't even count the ways that
I believe in you and there are just so many ways that
I believe in you and all I want to do is help you to believe in you
Somewhere there's a dreamer, looking for a dream

Somewhere someone's reaching trying to grab that ring

This week we bring you the beautiful work of Helena, all the way from Sweden. I hope you grabbed that gorgeous Dusty Attic frame in the last special order, because it is beautiful!! Then pair that with the sweet bird cage and alter them the same way, and you have a match made in Heaven!! Helena has a way with arranging flowers on her LO. Looks like a summer garden! Go visit Helena's blog CLICK HERE and you will be sure to be inspired. Congrats on a beautiful job with the kit!! We love it!!
The Swirlydoos Store have lots of really cool and beautiful items from Dusty Attic. They are perfect for altering or just to use as they are. They create the perfect touch to your project whether it is a layout, a card or something altered.
Shona/skeehnsic has used some lovely Dusty Attic products on this amazing layout of her daughter and grandson. So precious!

I often make cards when there is a special occasion, but really I should make more cards just to tell people I appreciate them in my life.

I found this stunning card by katex in our lovely gallery. The quote is so true and beautiful.

I hope you have seen the new cool Tim Holtz Alteration dies in the store. They are perfect for your projects!
And the Sizzlits Decorative Strip die:
LisaG made an awesome tutorial on how to use the Tim Holtz dies in the Cuttlebug when she made her gorgeous flowers on UStream this Saturday. And in the gallery I found a beautiful layout by Jennifer where she features one of those flowers. Isn't it stunning? Tim Holtz dies are a must-have!

**NOTE** - All events are on Eastern Standard Time
12:00pm - Lisa G Ustream Flower class - make sure you are all signed up on Ustream and have joined the Swirlydoos Ustream channel. Lisa will be providing a list of supplies so that you can make your flower right along with her. This is a live show, anything can happen! LOL Post your questions and Lisa will answer them.
1:00 - Inspiration Challenge - This is one of our favorite types of challenges!!! Be here at 1:00 and the challenge will be revealed.
1:30 - Scavenger Hunt - This will be fun! There are some Swirly trivia questions and a thing or two that you might have to hunt down! Also, check ahead of time to make sure that you can get into the Chat Room. Just sayin'...
3:00 Swirly Bingo - Those who wish to participate will pm me for a bingo card. If you could PM me on the day before that would be great. This will give me enough time to get everyone a Bingo card who wants one. I have 40 of them already made and randomly generated on my desktop. I will upload the bingo card to you via pm. A word will be pulled every few minutes until we get a BINGO! All of the words on the Bingo cards have something to do with Swirlydoos.
4:00 Ustream - Lisa G Paper Bag Album - Yes, you read it right. Lisa G is going to do ANOTHER Ustream video for us. A supplies list will be made available for this too. I can't wait for this one because I have never made a paper bag album *gasp*!
