My lucky day!!

The crop at Scrapadilly was so fun and inspirational! The games and challenges were fun to do, not to mention the friendly bantering between the contestants!

I was lucky enough to win the second prize and i tote-ally love it!

One of the challenges was to "scraplift from someone in the gallery" and another was to create a shaped card! I did the reindeer card at a crop at The Scrapping Bug!

I love taking part in crops as they tend to take me beyond the "norm" of scrapbooking!

get your crop on!

There's no excuse for being bored this weekend! Crop's are cropping up everywhere! Come join me in my crop circles this weekend! The prizes are amazing!

Summer Weddings!

Ever since i developed a passion for scrapbooking my other crafts have taken a seat at the back of the bus! I was so grateful when my friend asked me to create a bouquet for her daughters wedding! I added the yellow flower to symbolize friendship! In any relationship friendship is important! I wish Tammy a day filled with all the blessings love can hold!

Glue with a twist!

Have you hugged your glue today??? lol !! My UHU Glue n Twist ( http://www.saunders-usa.com/uhu/ saved the day for me!

I was asked to make some treats that would fit in with a Canada Day special celebration!

Bobbi-lynn from Scrap Central ( http://www.scrapcentral.ca/ ) and her hubby Derek renewed their vows for their 13th Canada Day celebration!

I needed something that would hold the treats and a plain old box wouldn't do, so i crimped some cardboard to cover the sides and needed some sturdy glue to hold it all together!

UHU GLUE n TWIST to the rescue! A twist of the cap and you can spread a path of glue or twist back and you can apply a fine line or a dot! The pinwheels and flowers were applied with a dot of glue!

I made the cute little hearts with white bells in the center! I also made red mapleleafs, white maple leafs and chocolate mapleleafs and stacked them in little cello bags! i also made chocolate blossoms and twisted them with waxed candy wrap, and they resembled a Kiss or a Hug! i made them a chocolate greeting card as well! My chocolate factory is closed for the summer now! It's way to hot to create chocolate treats!

Wishing you all a Happy Summer! Any special plans?
