Hi there!

I finally found 

(*she whispers "or ordered LOL")

some scrappy time for ME!!

I joined in over at

hello friend

I had a lot of fun creating this page!!

This is my dear friend and I after a ceremony 

where I was installed as President and she 

as Vice-President, together

we can make changes!

 Here are some close ups:

 a mixed title of wooden veneer

and cutfile

with a little bling

 Flowers and layers are 

making me think of Spring!!

I love the addition of the wooden veneer butterfly

I altered it with blue Tim Holt ink and shimmer pen,

tucked in some simple stories flowers

and of course tucked in my journal tag.

Here is the sketch:

For the Love of SUMMER - Challenge YOUrself #46

Hi there!!

I was lucky enough to "glue" my scrappy girl down for an

afternoon and enjoy some craft time

(it's challenging some times!!)

I joined in over at

Challenge YOUrself #46

Mood Board

CY 46

I was inspired by: the word LOVE, the colours; orange and

yellow (I used very little) and the sun shining

I totally stretched this Fall challenge

So, I created a Summer page in Fall !

(not too mention we had our hottest days this Fall)

For the LOVE of SUMMER

This was a fun summer day in July.

My Baba loves to eat fresh fish and go to the beach.

We took her for a drive to Erie Beach

She was having a good day and was being her sassy self

and up for allowing me to take a family selfie

Here are some close ups:

 I fussy cut the collection name as my title!

 My friend Laura recieved this Flamingo ribbon

and mailed it to me!
I Love FLAMINGOS 

 This ribbon was wrapped around a  golden box of chocolates

I recieved for my birthday - it is perfect for this page!!

 This is my FAVorite part of the page

a crystal Flamingo

I received this kit for birthday (August) from my girl.

I seem to collect Flamingos but this is my very first layout

using my Flamingo stash!!

I created my page using Laura's

Invitation; Scrapbook & Cards Today Sep Cut File

Hi there!!

Today, is the perfect day to share some Love

I attended a FABulous wedding over

the weekend of our two sweet friends!

When we received their wedding invitation,

I knew I had to scrapbook it for them.

It didn't need much, but I did mat (offset) the cut file,

then layered the solid flowers and added some sequence (adding bling)

I ordered a frame 

Framed Invitation

I chose to create using the

Scrapbook & Cards Today 

September Cut file

designed by Nicole Nowosad

It almost looks like the design printed on their invitation!  

Perfect for what I was creating

Fly - Guest Designer - Stick it Down Card Team

Hi there!!

I am just thrilled to be

Guest Designing

this month 

with the talented

Stick it Down

Card Team

I am so excited I am going to show you my card!!! 

FLY 

When I was invited to Guest Design, 

I peeked at the card sketch & saw the word FLY...I knew I was making this card for my nephew.  

He is off to post secondary in a few weeks - and feeling a little intimidated (maybe even scared now!)  I kept it simple and followed the sketch.  [Like I said, it was perfect for what I had in mind] 

The poem inside the card it perfectly fitting....for both this sketch and my nephew.

YOUR WINGS                        

ALREADY EXIST.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO 

IS   FLY

I loved that it had three.  I used butterflies, the first one at the bottom has one crystal, the second has two and the third has three.  My interpretation was 1, 2, 3 FLY...

Exactly what my nephew needs to do while embracing his next chapter in life.

I am so proud of him!!

I wanted to have some fun and use my water colour palettes.  I wanted a fun

happy palette.

Here is your sketch:

See MY World - Stuck?! Sketches May 1st

Hi there!

The best part of chilly rainy days

are creativity flowing and time to scrap.

My Girl and got to sneak in 2 DAYS

this week (that's RIGHT 2!)

We joined in over at 

STUCK?! Sketches

Here is my take:

See MY World

This is my Littles' first check up - he needs glasses

to correct a lazy eye

He was beyond THRILLED to

be "just like Harry Potter"

This paper was just what this layout called for!!

I got to get messy with some 

dry brush Gesso framing my page.

Here are some close ups:

 All he kept saying was

"you should SEE MY WORLD"

fitting for my title

I created my title from a Silhouette cutfile, layered on some

torn vellum.

 I chose to use some white Vellum behind a pair 

of glasses and then the two on the end

only one lens...

that's what the optometrist was doing!

 I added a tag with his initials (it's also hiding a hand

that was helping us chose some frames)

Behind I tucked a circle photo frame

I love this photo!

He kept saying

"LOOK - I'm a Transformer!"

Here is Laura's awesome sketch:

(I'm a fan of 3 photo sketches!!)
