This summer some close friends and I were able to sneak away
(from the kidletts for a night)
and enjoy a couples adult dinner at The Bartlett Lodge , a secluded
(Landmark) cottage resort in
the middle of Algonquin Park.
A 5-star gourmet dinning experience and you bring your
own wine!!  I brought Pink bubbly (Pink Yellow Tail)

work out!

September 1st Sketch


Here is my take:
hello adventure

This photo was taken this summer on our adventure, back-country camping trip
into Algonquin Park.
We did a double portage to Hambone Lake with our puppy,
he did amazing!!
This layout was created entirely with Clique Kit,
isn't it amazing?!!

Here are some close ups:
My title was easy, as soon as I saw this acrylic
word title I knew that was it!
hello adventure
 YOUR VIBE ATTRACTS YOUR TRIBE
is an altered card.
I cut it in half and fussy cut the feathers, then tied them together with some floss
The FLAIR is by:
ACCENT SCRAPBOOKING


We love back-country camping
- this is our attempt to show our love
I added some texture paste with a Tim Holtz stencil
 More of the Clique Kit altered - I fussy cut my dream catcher,
painted some areas with water paint and tucked it behind my photo.

Puppy love - Stuck?! Sketches! August 15th

Hi there!


I am sharing my latest
Design Team Reveal
Puppy love 
This is the newest addition to our family
My fur baby Pana [say Pan-na]
He is our (now)12 week old Olde English Bulldogge
I have to say, he is definitely my little shadow
and I love him to pieces!
He's just what I needed to complete our family.

I started with my BoBunny background patterned paper, layered patterned 
paper and I used a sheet of cork, inked it to add some
depth and got messy with some gesso
and cut files.

Here are some close ups:
 A layered cut file title, a wooden veneer heart,inked with 
Powder Puff Mocha Mama and I fussy cut a paw print, adding 
it to the middle of the heart.
 I embellished using EK dog house; wipe your {paws}
and matching ribbon
I will journal on the tag at a later date
 Look his face!!  Instant LOVE right?!
He has a dogge bed but first insisted on the cat bed, then my Littles'
Bean Bag chair
A bone to date my page
and a Gesso paw print

Here is Laura's SKETCH:
August 15th Sketch

Hi there!

Today is August 1st.

A new month and a NEW Challenge 
over 
at 
{heart} the NEW 40
Today I am sharing a page about me.  My BIRTHday is in August,
so it's fitting to document me, on my 40th!!
My hubby was so sweet and surprised me with a
wine tasting party at Deerhurst Resort!
Just me and my closest friends and family - all 40 of us!

Here are some close ups:
 I mixed my title using Fancy Pants mini alphas, Silhouette cutfile
and My Minds Eye gold stickers and  a
wooden Flamingo - I LOVE Flamingos
 I created my own journal card: I cut cardstock and a
My Mind's Eye Live Life to the Fullest sticker.
I used a vellum bag to hold it in place.
Simple Stories: I AM collection patterned paper and 
photo frame.
Adorned and layered with enjoying the little things sticker tags, along
with a gold arrow and altered flair
TODAY tag and a gold arrow with a heart.
Both pictures I Bling-ed with
Martha Stewart glitter paint - just what a girl needs!!

Here is Laura's super fun sketch:

Timbits SOCCER - Stuck?! Sketches Design Team REVEAL - July 15th

Hi there!
We are half way through July!
and that means a 
New Challenge  
and 
DESIGN TEAM REVEAL
Timbits SOCCER
 Today, I am sharing my take on Laura's sketch.
This is my Little playing Timbit's Soccer, he was four so he just
HAD to wear number 4
I flipped the sketch and rearranged the photos to work for my page.
When I saw this sketch, I knew I was doing a soccer page immediately!!
When I found the photos I knew BoBunny: Zip-a-dee-doodle collection was perfect
- I love when pages fall into place so easily!!
The sequin mesh from stash works great too!

Here are some close ups:
 I mixed the title using a Silhouette cutfile and Paper House 3D Sticker
with some glitter to add a little fun.
I tucked in  an acetate camera accented with a "j"
I also tucked in a large soccer ball behind my title - I love how big they are but are
still not the focus of my layout.
 I tucked in a second die cut soccer ball, mixed in with some Jillibean Soup: Game Day Chili
 Pea Pod Parts (die cuts) perfect for documenting his game.
I stitched my page using #2.1 on my Girls' Pfaff (a twist on the triple stitch)
and layered up my photos, got messy with some Mr. Huey's Mist
and mixed in floating mini "4" stickers.

Here is your sketch:
Stuck?! Sketches!  July 15th

Elora Gorge Part Deux - Stuck?! Sketches! Design Team REVEAL - June 15th

Hi there

Today, I am sharing my
June 15th
Stuck?! Sketches
Design Team Reveal
Elora Gorge II
I created this fun masculine page using Little Yellow Bicycle Fern and Forrest collection.
So fun and perfect for these photos.
We were spending the weekend camping at Elora Gorge
It had rained so much there were major flooding warnings,
This road /bridge was closed due to high water levels.

Here are some close-ups:
 I cut a circle into the patterned paper 
using the word CURIOUS
- they boys were exploring and finding all of natures treasures left after a major flood
 A DIY post sign using Little Yellow Bicycle stickers, patterned paper cut into
a flag and brown wool wrapped into a bow
explore  Snips and Snails   TIME TO PLAY  just like brothers
Cork chevrons that I inked, centered in a circle,
textured paste with Tim Holtz stencil and
balancing everything off with a My Mind's Eye decorative brad.

Here is Laura's Sketch:
Stuck?! June 15
For my page, I turned the sketch and didn't title my page

When your sketch designer reveals  2 amazing single sketches in June, combine them together and they work perfectly
as a double page
Elora Gorge
