Merry Christmas

2015

This is our first Green Christmas

here in Muskoka, EVERYTHING

is Green!!

One day, we did have 15cm of that white fluffy stuff

~ and that ONE day we

lucked out and had our family snow photos done

Merry Christmas 2015

Photo credits to Danielle May.

She put up with my boys and I -

we were fighting the sickies and so grumpy!

(*she whispers and I was planning my page and ordering supplies LoL)

We are a "serious" group and this year I really wanted

to capture us having fun in the fresh snow !

From snow angels to snowball fights

- we had a BLAST!!

Here are some close ups:

 I love the addition of the cotton tag

 a little texture paste and Stickles to add some "snow" affect

 This corner addition turned out elegant

Here is Laura's SKETCH:

Wishing you and your family a wonderful day,

turkey belly fun and time with your loved ones.

Hi there!!

I am sharing my

latest double page

ScrapMuch?

Sketch-y Friday

50

 I had a friend of mine make some pages and she did such an amazing job

on them, it took me until now to attempt to add any pages

to complete my hubby's party.

I threw a "surprise" 50th cowboy hoedown 

Joaquin and I, dressed up as Woody and Jesse

Left side

Right side

 thickers title, texture paste, twine (like a lasso) 

50 start flag /pin

 Can you believe my hubby was the 5-0 in 2011

2 +3 = 5 and the watch resembles the 0

March 12th is his day, cut file and Tim Holtz distressing 

Lots of texture and layers!

Here is Laura's sketch:
