Hi, I'm Torrey. Welcome to Left Field, where creativity runs amok and imagination is ALWAYS more important than knowledge. Shoes are not allowed but ties are optional. This is a repository of snippets from my life out here in Left Field. One never knows what shiny bits of creativity will be found here... cards, scrapbook layouts, photography, poetry, recipes, ponderings, rantings and musings. It could be anything! Life in Left Field is always changing, always real, always ...interesting.

Nap Time



Hidy ho, crafty peeps!

Hard to believe it's halfway through April already. I truly believe that time accelerates as I get older. I think I'll call that phenomenon the "AARP conundrum"...the older, and slower, I get is directly linked (as an inverse) to the passage of time.

It's time for a new challenge over at

The theme this time is  
"In the Garden"
So, put on your gardening gloves and grab a spade and hoe! Of course, if you don't feel all garden-y  you can ALWAYS enter an "Anything Goes" themed project!

We are sponsored this time by our friends at Simon Says Stamps
The winner will receive a random assortment of their wonderful ink dye pads!


I used a "vintage" House Mouse stamp for my project today. Sometimes the oldies are the best! I stamped several images, colored them up with my Prismacolor pencils, and then fussy-cut parts out and decoupaged them into several layers. And I totally agree with the sentiment I put on there!! Naps...they're a good thing! I just LOVE these Gerber daisies!

You have until April 23 to enter.

And now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for my nap.

    Gorgeous card, Torrey! Your Gerber daisies are so beautifully colored and your sweet little mousies look so peaceful and happy. If only we could relax in our gardens like this. Way to showcase the garden theme, Teamie!

    Hugs,
