Layout 12 & 13 2012 Challenge

Frantic is my word of the month!! Perhaps year!  Just seems to not be enough hours in my days lately and I am so looking forward to my vacation.  But until then, here are a couple of the layouts I mentioned last post.  They feature my beautiful grandson who is the light of my life.  I long to see him again but we live so far apart. 

This layout was one from a swap I participated in a couple of years ago.  I wish I could remember the consultant who created it.  I absolutely love it!!

I still need to journal this, but I did this layout while out at the cottage with the girls this fall.  The paper is from Echo Park.....LOVE them!  It was the first time Tyler played on the swings at the park and he just squealed with delight. 

Till next time!

Cards 20 - 22 2012 Challenge

Boy, what a slacker I've been at posting my projects!  I am so far behind with this 2012 Challenge.  And it's not because I don't have anything to post....just can't seem to find the time to get on here and get 'er done.  These cards were from a gathering/workshop held recently and feature our "Clementine" paper pack.  I love the colours in this collection!  I used our Stamp of the Month "Fall Favourites", "For Every Occasion",  and also "A Little Thanks".  The colouring was done with our alcohol markers.....love them!!

 

I am hoping to get some of my layouts photographed to post next time!  Have a wonderful day, thanks for stopping by!

Layout # 11 2012 Challenge

I am posting a layout this time, just a quick one I did - trying to get some older pictures scrapped and in the album.  These were taken when we moved from Barrie, ON to Winnipeg over 4 years ago. 

I am going to Ontario on Thursday for a few days.  I am FINALLY going to see my grandson (and of course Josh & Jody too!!)  I am so excited....can hardly contain myself.  I need to start packing....will post again when I get back.

Christmas in July! Cards # 15-19 2012 Challenge

OK, I know it's only August 1st, but I was busy making Christmas cards last month for a workshop. These are the five cards we made, two of each, so everyone went home with 10 cards. Now that's what I call a good head start!

And these are the lovely ladies hard at work (play?) last Sunday afternoon:

 Lots of fun on a rainy afternoon!  Hope you can join us next time!!

Simple Cards # 13 & 14 2012 Challenge

Over a month since my last post, time flies.  Why the delay?  Well, I was helping my youngest son find an apartment and then move to Halifax because he is attending college there.  His course actually started on July 3rd - this college does not break for the summer and his program is three years, condensed into two years.  So, I am officially an "empty nester" now - not sure how I'm feeling about that yet, some days it is great, other days I miss having the kids around.   Summer has been busy - we were in Halifax for Canada Day celebrations, we've been canoeing at Aylesford Lake, attended some festivities and the fireworks for the Steer BBQ in Kingston.  So here is a simple card that I did with my "shoebox" girls....

And this is another simple one that I took right from the CTMH Idea Book for the June Stamp of the Month:

Most of the pieces for this card were cut with CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge....Psst - have you heard about our new cartridge available August 1st - "Artiste"?? 

Hope you are enjoying summer as much as I am.  Till next time......

Layout # 10 2012 Challenge

Life has been busy in our household......water heater leaking all over the floor and no hot water, son looking for accommodation for school in two weeks time (yep, he has no place to live so far!) so we're off to the city on the weekend.  I have been doing quite a few welcome wagon visits, and I had a huge CTMH gathering last weekend that was a blast!!  Booked a cruise for the fall and I am looking forward to the vacation!!!! 

This layout has some wild paper from a pad I bought at Michaels but I thought it was perfect for these birthday pictures.  Justin's friends from Winnipeg all enjoying Rockband,  Justin's on drums and yep, that's me on guitar...lol.  Notice the awesome Triple Fudge Cake made by moi - Justin's favourite cake.
