Whoa !!! Guess What?????

I'm on a design team!!! I'm so excited about it that i'm doing the Happy Dance! it's for Jeans Art Dolls ( http://www.jeansartdolls.com/ ) I love their slogan " Dare to be different "! Isn't that the greatest???

Creation Of The Day!!!!!!

This layout was chosen Creation of the day at Scrapadilly on March 9th! http://scrapadilly.com/scrapadilly_web/Home.html

The challenge was to use reds, oranges and yellows to depict Chaos and i knew right away I had the perfect pics to go with! I think it's such an honour for anyone to have the COTD!

Enough of winter already!!

Something I really enjoy is attending classes crops at the scrapbook store! This layout depicts a bookmark make n take at a crop at The Bug Scrapbooking Store! Catherine and Kerry from SRAPBOOK AND CARDS TODAY showed up to do the make n take! Ally is their new editor and she lent a helping hand to the event!

I am sooooo looking forward to Spring! Everything comes to life with new color and there's the hustle bustle as people are lured by the fresh air of outdoors! Buds appear on the trees, shoots poke through the earth and the insects start buzzing around!

Birds build nests, the grass gets greener and the warm sun feels so good! Spring is by far my most favorite season!

Fantastic February is over at Scrapperie and I completed everything! A proud moment for me because I have many starts and not much finishes! I even managed to assemble an album together!

The above layout was taken from the Scrabooks etc. magazine as a Challenge from Scrapperie! While i was doing the layout I was thinking of Spring! Are you looking forward to Spring as much as I am?

Thanx to everyone who stopped by my blog! Keep coming back, I love my visitors!

happy Valentines day

Look what i found today in one of my balcony planters ^^^^^^ SPROUTS!!! The pussy willow buds are out and i saw a tree that had buds on it too! Spring is coming!

I made this card as a non-traditional Valentines card! ( no hearts, no mushy sentiment ..... just flowers and good thoughts!

I received this stamped image and sentiment as a RAK! It sure makes for a darling Valentine's card!

I love the color combo of red and teal!

I realized that in my previous post I never mentioned when i would draw for the RAK! I'll be doing the draw on Valentine's Day so someone will have a special valentines on that day! Comments left on this post will also count towards the draw!

Happy February

This is my kitty, Scooter! She finds the funniest ways to rest!

A layout to commemorate a visit with my sister! her friend treated us to a "luncheon" at the country club! POSH!

Some Cosmo cricket cards done for a challenge at Scrap Central!

You have to look with a keen eye to see the transparency here! I used a rub-on on the top side of the transparency and punched an oval to go underneath the sentiment .... the heart button is placed on the topside to "hide" the adhesive.

the inner card was covered with cardstock and pattern paper with a ribbon on the bottom third, then placed a felt floral on the ribbon. i stamped flourishes on the fuscia corners and added the swirly clip to hold the transparency to the inner card!

My poor blog! I've neglected it for over a month and so much has happened! Christmas has come and gone, I welcomed the New Years in a quiet way this year! I havent felt well for a long time and things escalated to the point where I'm now on sick leave from work, but i have had a few good days so I know i'll have myself back again!

My friends at SCRAP CENTRAL ( http://www.scrapcentral.ca/ ) are having some interesting challenges: Scrap Map and also Scrap Challenge a Day and i must say there are some pretty interesting things happening over there! Go see!!!

Scrapfest is approaching soon! i cant wait to go. One of the Exhibitors has recently begun an on-line store and a forum! I had the pleasure of chatting back and forth with her and she had me in stitches! I love a person with a sense of humour! You can find Dianne at The House of Scraps here: http://www.houseofscraps.ca/

My blogaversary has come and gone and while i'm sorting and organizing my scrappy stuff i'm coming across a number of items still in packages which i will be raking off soon so keep coming back!
