Modern Family

A layout using the latest Creative Scrappers sketch #177

Last Sunday night i decided i was going to set up my scrap table in the kitchen, and start creating in daylight instead of my dark, and lamped room!
It was nice .... full of sunlight, in the middle of the kitchen, and Eddie loves the new table!
and of course more Bella Blvd... Family Dynamix was used for this page..

I took about 50 pictures of this layout, and My Goodness it's hard to take a picture of a layout with a white background.. SHEESH! anyway, i placed this one on black cardstock and this is what i got... sorry if it's off in color but you get the idea ;-)

Thanks for PEEEEKing!

Beating Heart Crop

Join us for a great day full of creativity to show your support!
This is a wonderful opportunity to catch up or get started on preserving your photos and precious memories, while supporting Tanya and Family Members.
A recent health issue will prevent Tanya's husband to work for the next few months and funds are going to be limited for medication, and of course daily living expenses. This crop will be for raising funds for the family in this time of need.

Saturday Oct 15 starting at 9am until 9pm
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church
Rothesay NB

this is going to be a NO FRILLS Crop
a lunch will be available for 10$ from Arby's Restaurant
courtesy of Kelly Northrup
and 5$ donated to the family

( Oct 14-15 were the original dates for a CANDY CORN crop, but due

to recent events this will be replaced with a fundraising crop on Saturday ONLY )

Thank you for your support during this time of need!

Let's make this a fabulous crop for Roger and Tanya and show them our support for a beating heart!

Connected & Nate

I was entertained by my bestie Stephie last week. She's from Halifax and I from Quispamsis, and she was here on business. We managed to get together 3 nights last week and scrapbook from 8pm until Midnight each night. It was a blast!!! I wish we could do this more often, it seems that I scrapbook quite a bit with her by my side. I miss her, we have a great time together.

I finished 3 pages but 2 I will share with you tonight - the other wasn't photographed too well ...
I took pictures of my layouts outside today but it seems I had too much shadowing going on.. anyhoo these 2 aren't too bad.

The first is a picture of my nieces.. they are sisters and really best friends. I had a hard time finding a title but Stephie suggested Connected... and I used it ;-)

The papers used for this layout " Connected "
was Bella Blvd - Finally Fall Collection.

***************

this next layout is my little nephew, Nate.
He's soooo cute! Look at those eyes... he's gonna be a charmer ;-)
he's approx 4 months old in this picture and of course
the Bella Blvd Oh Boy Papers were Just Perfect!!!

Yes, lately I've had a "Thing" for Bella Blvd. I am in Love with the colors, so bright and cheery and the stickers, chipboard, alphas are just too good not to use for my pages.

Thanks for reading and I should have another page or two for you tomorrow ;-)

A Few Pages & Project

Well Hello There!

Imagine that... i'm updating my blog more than once this week LOL!
I am posting the last of my layouts that I created & finished at the crop from last weekend.

This first one I started in June... really all i needed was a little journaling and it took me months.. so bad! But I used my favorite manufacturer October Afternoon and the background paper is MME.
My nieces are growing up so fast... and little Miss Marissa now has braces at 8years old and looks so much older and such a beautiful smile. I can't wait to see the end result!



This next layout was created using the new Crate Paper - Random collection. I love this collection... the colors, the flowers, LOVE it!

My layout is also a scraplift from Georgia Keays
... this was her layout.. too cute! Love those clouds and what she does with black cardstock... LOVE IT!


and this is my take on it..
I needed some inspiration for a layout last week and Georgia certainly helped out. I love this page !!!



Also to report... my new mini album kit has been released at LCOM. After a few months of non scrapbooking, and um yes a Chai Latte Stain on the front cover... not so nice but adds character my mini is finished! You can purchase the kit and Crate's Random collection here at LCOM.

those are my projects for this week...

if you are in the neighborhood, LCOM is hosting a mini crop this Wednesday night !
yes, at the Hampton Inns & Suites Conference room ... the hotel located in East Point Shopping area. It's only 10$ and it's from 6pm- midnight! Hopefully you can join us ;-)

I Found my Mojo!

Oh how I love scrapbooking with a bunch of fun gals at a crop! For some reason the past .... year or so I haven't had much time or even desire to scrapbook but when I attend crops with my friends I have such a fabulous time and this past weekend the LCOM crop was no exception and I managed to chat up a storm and create 4 pages! ... ok that's not a lot but it is for me!!!!

The following are my latest pages using American Crafts Amy Tangerine ( LOVE THIS COLLECTION! )

My dear friend Stephanie ...
playing with her Mustache on a Stick ;-)

These are my two nieces ... one is 14 and the other 17.
They seem to be growing up real fast!!

This next layout was done with Crate Paper's latest Random Collection ... what fabulous colors! Love the jeans, and the pink ... yummy!

I have 2 more layouts to upload but I have to finish a few details and I also have my Mini Album kit from.. um the month of may Finished! I used some fantastic papers from October Afternoon 5 and Dime. The Mini album should be available for sale shortly! You can CLICK HERE to check ;-) but i will also post it here when my instructions are done.. hopefully soon!



That's it for now and I am soooooo looking forward to the next crop !
Thanks for stopping by ;-)
