Hi Everyone! Here is a neat little gift idea I did with my ladies at club last month. It's a little bag of reindeer poop! We filled the small clear bags with chocolate covered raisins and peanuts. There is also a cute little poem on the back about collecting the droppings! Happy December!

Baroque Christmas

Hello!

Well, I must say I have fallen right into the Christmas spirit this week! I've already started my Christmas cards, and we're planning on putting up our outdoor lights tomorrow. I am actually hoping for snow! I know it's very unlikely, but it's always nice to dream a little!

Hello,
Well, here is a photo of one of the Decor Elements that I put up in my crafting area. I think I may be addicted to these! It's so neat to watch the image transfer to the wall! I have a couple more up now, so I'll have to get around to taking some more pictures soon. (I know it's just a white wall - maybe I'll have to add some colour to it next!)

Friend to Friend

Hi everyone,

Flower Power

Hello!

It's been a while since I've been on here. Life sure is busy! We were away for a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend visiting family. I still need to get my little ones out to the Pumpkin Patch. Hopefully, the rain will stay away for the weekend, and we'll get out to do some pumpkin picking!

Here is a picture of a really quick 3x3 birthday card I made using the Flower Power kit and the Wow Flowers stamp set. Thanks for looking!

New In Colours...

Hi Everyone,

Well, I haven't had time to play with the new scanner yet, so I'm doing this the old fashioned way! I thought I had better post something with the new In Colours. This is a quick 3x3 card we made at my New Catalogue Party in August. Here's the recipe!

Life is Busy...

Life sure has been busy! I thought since I haven't had much time to post, I'd at least get on here and tell you about Shelli's new blog. Shelli is the CEO of Stampin' Up! ans she has recently started her own blog. Check it out!

(We recently purchased a scanner so hopefully, I'll figure it out and post something new soon! It actually cost less than the ink refills for our old printer!)

Enjoy the sunny weather while it lasts!

It's a Boy!

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to take a quick minute to let you all know about our new addition!

Cameron Micah was born on July 14th at 7:33 p.m. He was 20 inches long, and weighed 7lbs 9oz. We are all doing well and enjoying lots of cuddle time!

Here he is!

Fun with Rub-Ons

Hello All!

I hope you are enjoying a sunny Canada Day Long Weekend! We are heading over to have a BBQ with friends tonight. What a great way to celebrate the beginning of summer holidays!

Here is a card I made a while ago using the Friendship Blooms Stamp Set and coordinating Rub-Ons. I've kind of been on a button spree the last while! It seems like all of my cards have a button somewhere! For this card I used Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, and Chocolate Chip cardsock, Certainly Celery ribbon, and Earth Elements & Neutrals Buttons.

Enjoy your weekend!

Summer Days...

Hi everyone,

It has been so nice to see that beautiful sunshine! My kids were even out in their little pool yesterday. It's starting to feel like summer!

Here is a little 6x6 scrapbook page I made using the Summer Scrapbooking Kit. I love the bright, bold colours! This picture was taken at the lake last summer, and I can't wait for summer holidays to begin! Only four weeks left! Thanks for looking.

The Essence of Love...

Hello!

Well, I must say it's been a little bit busy around here! I must admit I haven't been feeling that well lately either, so I finally took a sick day today. I can't believe how long I slept in! I'm starting to feel a bit more like myself this evening, and thought I should get around to posting on here!

Here is a card I made using the Essence of Love stamp set from the mini catalogue. I stamped the main image twice using Close to Cocoa and then Chocolate Chip. I also used the satin Chocolate Chip ribbon from the Theater Ribbon Originals.

Thanks for looking!

Faux Leather...

Hi everyone!

I am currently sitting in a virtually empty basement, as we are getting ready to renovate. I thought I had better post on here before my computer goes into hibernation for a few days! Here is a card that I made with my club last week. We used the faux leather technique to get this effect on chipboard. It took a bit of sponging, but I'm really happy with the results!

Here's the recipe...

Stamps: Friendship Blooms & Everyday Flexible Phrases

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, More Mustard & Old Olive

Paper: Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Confetti Cream & So Saffron Designer Prints

Accessories: On Board Simon Lower (chipboard), Stamping Sponges,

Chocolate Chip Poly twill Ribbon & Vintage Brads

I'm Back!

Hello everyone!

Here is a photo of the gang at Chilliwack Lake! We went there last weekend, and actually had to get all bundled up because of all the snow! It was so nice to have a family day.

I have actually been stamping and have missed posting on here. I'll have to dig out my camera and take some pictures of my latest projects. Spring Break is just around the corner!

Thanks for looking!
