Oh Baby!!

 

A beautiful picture of my sister-in-law Julia holding my Benny just days after he was born.  The layout was put together using the incredible March Scrapbooking Kit from Scrappin Great Deals.  Loving those blues and yellows.  And the MME Bright Side Line "Sawyer" - that is the wood look background paper - Adore it!!  There are several different styles in the new collections and they are flying off the shelves!!!

Nap Time?

I found this picture recently of my son Malcolm, from ages ago.  He is just too cute, can't help but smile at it!  He however informed me that that couldn't have been him! (Oh yes dear, it was!)  Here it is scrapped using Scrappin' Great Deals' March Scrapbooking Kit:

Gorgeous new papers from MME - Miss Caroline collection and BoBunny's new Weekend Market.  A Tim Holtz mask helped with the background and his matching Sizzix die made the chipboard timepiece and is included in the kit.  Yellows and blues - very hot right now!!!

You can head over to the stores blog today to see what the whole kit looks like and check back in here over the next couple of days to see the other layouts I have done!

Be Still My Heart!!

Hey All!!!  I have my third and final layout from Scrappin' Great Deals February Scrapbooking Kit to share with you today!

Here is the kit once again:

 

 and my layout, "Be Still My Heart"

Malcolm and I cuddling on the couch.  I love that he is such a cuddly guy, hope that doesn't change for a very VERY long time!!!  Love the layers of paper, punched with a Martha Stewart doily border punch.  I have seen it done on various blogs, and thought I 'd give it a try.  Quite happy with the result!! 

Make sure you pop over to Scrappin' Great Deals' blog today.  You may have heard that BoBunny is coming to the store!!!  Well, you heard right!! All the way from Utah, JoAnn, BoBunny designer, has a weekend full of classes for us, on February 18 & 19.  We finally have some pictures of the projects we will be making!!  Head over to the blog to have a peek!!!

Have a fantastic day!!

Love My Sooss!!

Wow, does my little guy love his sooss (our soother terminology!!)  So many pictures, so many soothers!!  This is my second layout using Scrappin' Great Deals' February Scrapbooking Kit.  Love the MME paper!  I added a heart to the paper using a Crafter's Workshop template, a ranger foam tool and weathered wood distress ink.  I also used some Glitz stickers, Lily Bee Paper, and Jillibean Soup Heart Pins - All of course included in the kit!!! 

Enjoy your weekend!!! 

Heartfelt Sentiments!!

Happy February Everyone!!!  Although outside it feels more like the end of March, crazy winter we are having here in SW Ontario!!! Today I am sharing Scrappin' Great Deals February Scrapbooking Kit, its theme "Heartfelt Sentiments"!!  It will be available for sale later today or tomorrow.

Full of designer paper by Lily Bee, Basic Grey, Kaiser and MME, with a ton of co-ordinating embellishments!!!  Love is in the air, in the shades of pink & turquoise!!! 

Here is one of the three layouts I made with this kit, a wedding picture of my valentine, my hubby: (side note: wow does he look young! It was 9 years ago!!)

Lots of fussy cutting, distressing, embosssing, stencilling.., my usual!!  I don't know that I have ever used grey in a layout before, but it certainly looks nice with the turquoise of the Kaiser & Lily Bee papers!! 

So there you are, I'll share more over the next couple of days! 

If I had a Flower......

How adorable are the new Inky Impessions stamps?!!? Well to inspire ME to make a card they have to be pretty darn adorable!!!  You can pop over to Scrappin' Great Deals blog for all the details!!!

Have an amazing day everyone!!!!

Heart Canvas

I really enjoy altered art, and I thoroughly enjoyed making this canvas!!  It started out as a blank 6" x 6" canvas from Canvas Corp, that I got at my favourite store: Scrappin' Great Deals.  With a little Glimmer Mist, a homemade mask, lots of rolled paper, and rolled flowers (all from the new Basic Grey line Kissing Booth), and a final spritz of both Goosebumps and Perfect Pearls Mist, it all came together!!! 

I am offering this project as a class at Scrappin' Great Deals on February 5, 2012, 11 - 2, $25.00!!!  Thanks for popping in and have a great day!!

Bundle Up!!

This is the second layout I did with Scrappin' Great Deals January Scrapbooking Kit.  My little guy is VERY helpful!  He loves working with me, be it inside cooking dinner or shovelling the sidewalks!  I hope he doesn't grow out of it! 

I love Maya Roads Snowflakes, both the translucent ones and the vintage wood:

Have a fantastic day!!

Snow Peeps

What a winter wonderland out there!! So much snow has fallen in London and area over the last 24 hrs and it is still falling!! I have a layout from Scrappin' Great Deals January Scrapbooking kit to share with you today. Appropriately it is titled "Snow Peeps"

I used some lovely paper from Fancy Pants and Echo Park, lace from Maya Road, some die cut snowflakes, the white pearls were coloured orange with Copics, as was the Fancy Pants alpha. I love the pink colour they are originally, but it just didn't go with the picture! A close up:


I used a fabulous new snowflake border punch from EK Success, and I covered the blue flakes with rock candy stickles and the alphas have Glass Effects on top to pop them up a bit.

Hope you all enjoy your snow day today, as much as these three kids did last week!!

Believe in the Magic!!

I used a Tim Holtz District Market Burlap Panel - Memoirs, as a foundation for this canvas to display a picture of my kids with Santa!  The picture is held on with a memo pin, so you can change it every year!!
