DAY. EVER.Remember my vow to make real changes to my lifestyle this year? Well it has been going pretty well, but today I got the best news and an incredible opportunity! I entered a fitness makeover contest at the <a href="http://www.bdhq.ca/">Body Dynamics Headquarters Training Studio,</a> and I WON!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I won a year of personal training, support, studio and bootcamp classes with the most amazing trainers ever!!! I am still in shock! This is exactly what I need to kick my butt and get my fitness on!!! <br />
<br />
I will be followed all year - and yes- that includes telling the world my weight and measurements - the size of a very short football player - and sharing my journey of change! It means a committment of epic proportions, and I am ready!!<br />
<br />
The trainers there are amazing and I am looking forward to working hard, learning about myseelf and challenging myself to get healthy and stay that way! WOW! I still can't believe it, and I sure there will be days when I regret it, but for now I am savouring the moment! I cannot wait to see what this wild ride will bring!<br />
<br />
Happy Day everyone!<br />Jacquelinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12283294291613635483noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525944497403688486.post-8128805970693216392012-01-07T12:12:00.000-08:002012-01-07T12:13:26.298-08:00CHA Winter Sneak Peek #3 - My Mind's Eye & More PrimaI am a fan of My Mind`s Eye and am especially excited about this new line designed by Rhonna Farrer:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XrLAQzszx84/TwijVwdZkNI/AAAAAAAACqM/1iWYa0H7VCU/s1600/follow+your+heart.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XrLAQzszx84/TwijVwdZkNI/AAAAAAAACqM/1iWYa0H7VCU/s400/follow+your+heart.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It is called Follow Your Heart and has a great vintage vibe and interesting collage look and feel that will be great for all kinds of papercrafting and mixed media creativity!<br />
<br />
Of course MME always has SO many lines so stay tuned for more from MME in the coming days!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here also are another couple of amazing lines from PRIMA!<br />

<br />
Almanac is my absolute favourite so far - this is a colour combo that I adore and it is fantastically French vintage! Of course, there are so many Prima choices to love - how about Meadowlark?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sjOPMkAsR3o/TwimmdjYAyI/AAAAAAAACqs/ikjkwhu2BHg/s1600/meadowlark.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sjOPMkAsR3o/TwimmdjYAyI/AAAAAAAACqs/ikjkwhu2BHg/s640/meadowlark.png" width="400" /></a></div>

I love the idea - hate being too trendy, but I felt that I wanted to pick a word this year, or maybe it chose me!<br />
<br />
So, my word is CHANGE. Trying to make changes in my life, working on processing all the changes that have happened for me in the past while, and really taking charge of what I want to be different in my life. I've discovered that being intentional is pretty darn cool, and that I should do it more often!<br />
<br />

If you could choose one little word for this year, what would yours be?<br />
<br />

Our first sneak peek is from one of my fave companies - Webster's Pages!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HC_ET2ZVWoY/TwFhoBw9xFI/AAAAAAAACnc/M-phrPZrX6E/s1600/websters+spring+picnic+pp.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="363" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HC_ET2ZVWoY/TwFhoBw9xFI/AAAAAAAACnc/M-phrPZrX6E/s400/websters+spring+picnic+pp.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The new Sunday Picnic collection comes in a classic style - the lovely vintage look we have come to love and expect from Webster's (above), as well as a new Clean and Simple look perfect for the scrapper who loves the patterns and beauty of Webster's, but not necessarily their vintage groove.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u3fkX3ZM3p8/TwFiMkBZ9lI/AAAAAAAACno/zL9iT0tNN10/s1600/websters+sunday+picnic+clean+and+simple.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u3fkX3ZM3p8/TwFiMkBZ9lI/AAAAAAAACno/zL9iT0tNN10/s400/websters+sunday+picnic+clean+and+simple.png" width="351" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally a peek at one of my favourite indulgences - those unique and oh so fabulous trims that I just can't get enough of!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Seriously yummy! Keep following for more sneak peeks in the days and weeks to come as we get closer to the Craft and Hobby Association show in Anaheim, January 29 - February 1st!<br />

<br />
Day 4 focused on Christmas Decor - I took photos of some of the special ornaments and decorations that Have found their way onto my tree and around my various homes for as long as 30 years! ( Yes, that makes me feel very old!!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-J-FgQcVYEZQ/TwFbVqs6TTI/AAAAAAAACnE/VyD5rxZLxw8/s1600/Day+4+Layout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-J-FgQcVYEZQ/TwFbVqs6TTI/AAAAAAAACnE/VyD5rxZLxw8/s400/Day+4+Layout.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
My Day 5 task was to create a layout based on seasonal song lyrics. I was so happy to be able to find a cool way to scrap my fave photos from last Christmas - Joshua as the miserable shepherd in the Christmas Eve Nativity play. After fighting with the other shepherds over the crooks, jockeying for position around the baby Jesus, and pretending to smoke hay from the manger ( a crowd favourite), Josh finally settled for looking completely bored! This year he was NOT a shepherd.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9wV5B7lr00/TwFcMx3zZYI/AAAAAAAACnQ/AoAnn2uryJk/s1600/Day+5+Layout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="395" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9wV5B7lr00/TwFcMx3zZYI/AAAAAAAACnQ/AoAnn2uryJk/s400/Day+5+Layout.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
It is really great to have the kits all ready to go ( we prepped them in the days before Christmas) - makes completing layouts relatively painless - and I am only 4 days behind!<br />
<br />

Can you believe we are officially in 2012? I can't. Time is zipping away - even more reason to make the very best of each and every day.<br />
<br />
Resolutions anyone? I always have a few, and this year I am ready to make some significant changes to my lifestyle - including Moving More and Eating Well! You'll notice I didn't say lose weight or diet. So done with that. We are talking lifestyle changes here - in the interests of my health and general outlook on life! That is the focus of my resolutions - especially since I was keener and quit biting my nails before Christmas! ( They look fabulous, by the way)<br />
<br />
I am always nervous about putting it out there - that I want to make some changes - because what if I, you know, fail? But the reality is that this is not a quick fix or a short trip - it is a journey of tiny steps and a million choices good or bad. I am getting some help from <a href="http://cathyzielske.typepad.com/my_weblog/">Cathy Zielske</a> - and a class called <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/movemoreeatwell.php">Move More, Eat Well</a> from Big Picture Scrapbooking. And I am pretty damn excited about the whole thing.<br />
<br />
So hopefully I won't bore you too much with posts of my journey, which I will of course be documenting. I figure most of us are making changes of one kind or another pretty much all the time, so maybe we can learn from one another. And don't worry - I will still be posting layouts and tips and photos and all the other mundane details of my wonderful life - so be prepared to be amazed, or somewhat interested.<br />
<br />
Oh - I have one more resolution - to allow more pics of myself to be taken - so her is one from today - went for a lovely walk with the family - and Em took my first picture of 2012!<br />
<br />

Health and life got int he way once again and so I haven't been near my blog for a while! However, I have been doing a bit of scrapping (thank you <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/">Big Picture Scrapbooking</a> for the 12 days of Christmas Class!). Just wanted to share a few layouts of the sights and sounds of Christmas at my house! Please note - I shopped my stash for all of these - nothing was purchased - love using up the older stuff I have kicking around!<br />
<br />
Here is my Day One Layout! ( I finally got a half decent family photo for Christmas! At least everyone is mostly looking and smiling!!) <br />

A Layout About . . .ME! Yup, it's true - I actually did a layout about myself - and there are even photos! I am pretty notorious for avoiding the camera, preferring, as I think most scrappers do, to hide behind the camera and take the pictures!<br />
<br />
I recently decided to do a challenge over at <a href="http://www.wescrap.com/">WeScrap</a> that was a layout about myself! YIKES!!!<br />
First, I really had to hunt to find a couple of pictures of me ( and ones that I actually was willing to scrapbook)! I realized how few photos I have of myself and how I am pretty much absent from our family scrapbooks! <br />
<br />
We all need to create pages about ourselves. Yes, we hate having our photos taken. Yes, we are never completely satisfied with the photos of ourselves. Yes, it seem weird to do a page about me. And YES, your family really wants to see you in the family scrapbooks - they want to know more about you, as a child, as a teen, as a young adult, as a mom, partner, sister, daughter and friend.<br />
<br />
My friend Joyce always asks where the photos of me are - everytime I post photos on Facebook - but she is right! ( Do not tell her that though - I will never hear the end of it!) I need to be in the photos more, and share a bit more of who I am in my scrapbooks!<br />
<br />
So here goes - a page about me!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J_N4dMCt1NQ/TrcmeXTvh0I/AAAAAAAACko/ogdrmfJJvlM/s1600/Being+Me+-+challenge+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J_N4dMCt1NQ/TrcmeXTvh0I/AAAAAAAACko/ogdrmfJJvlM/s400/Being+Me+-+challenge+4.jpg" width="396" /></a></div>
<br />

<br />
On Saturday October 22nd in the afternoon, I will be teaching a class for my favourite season - FALL! This is a great opportunity to scrap your fall photos of pumpkin patches, Thanksgiving and leaves!!!<br />
<br />
In the class we will make a double layout (using all 4x6 photos), and single layout ( you can use a 5x7 or a 2 horizontal 3.5 x 5's). We will also make two fall cards to round out the class!<br />
here is a peek ( but check in at <a href="http://www.scrapbookparade.ca/">Scrapbook Parade</a> to see them in person - and to register!)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The cost of the class is just $50 and you will take home your completed layouts and cards, along with a great mini stamp and some new technique ideas for using your little bits of leftovers to create interesting square embellishments! Hope to see you there - call the store 250 727 0372, to register!<br />

I wanted to use the text of my blog post, because I felt like it really represented how I felt ( and still feel!) about how he inspires me. It was tough to use that much text on a layout, but I am pretty happy with the result!<br />

<br />
It has really inspired me to use more writing on my pages, and to utilize other writing I do ( blog, journals) on my pages! Do you like journaling? Or is it more of a chore? I would love to hear how you use your writing to enhance your photo stories!!!<br />

<br />
It has been a super busy week ( welcomed 2 beautiful babes into the world!) - so not much scrappy time!<br />
<br />
I did want to let everyone know that I will be back teaching a class a <a href="http://www.scrapbookparade.ca/">Scrapbook Parade</a> - and I am excited to be using the fall line <a href="http://www.weronthenet.com/Autumn_Splendor">Autumn Splendor</a> from We R Memory Keepers!<br />

<br />
This paper is so pretty - perfect for those photos of pumpkin patches, family gatherings and playing in the leaves! The class will have us creating a double page layout, a single page layout, and a couple of thank you cards! I just picked up this bundle of scrappy goodness, but I will have samples available at the <a href="http://www.scrapbookparade.ca/Event_Description.php#open">OPEN HOUSE</a> at Scrapbook Parade next Sunday! ( Click the link for all the details of the Open House!) Hope you will be able to join me!!<br />

Happy Day Everyone!Jacquelinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12283294291613635483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525944497403688486.post-63762753725904675222011-09-13T23:45:00.000-07:002011-09-13T23:46:24.115-07:00Multiphoto madness!So I took another 1000 photos this summer - it really is ridiculous how many photos I take!!! So I am determined to use lots of photos on some double page layouts this fall, in an attempt to get through the literally thousands of photos I have!<br />
<br />
I started with a double page layout using 8 photos ( all wallet sized) from our (gasp) Spring Break trip to <a href="http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/macmillan/">Cathedral Grove</a>, BC. It is a pretty amazing place - an old growth forest with enormous trees that have been there for hundreds of years! <br />
<br />
I used another great line from Authentique - this one called <a href="http://www.authentiquepaper.com/?page_id=174&cat_id=22&page=9">Splendid</a> :<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb361/islandjacquelin/explore-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb361/islandjacquelin/explore-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I haven't been doing a lot of double layouts, but my goal this fall is to do more and to use a lot of photos on each one - we will see how long that lasts!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Are you a single photo or multi photo scrapper? Do you prefer single or double pages? Whatever your preference, why not step outside your box and try something new?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy Day everyone!</div>

It is always a bittersweet time for me - I miss the kids when they are at school, after having them home for a fun filled summer! But I also love getting back in to the routine that September brings, and the feeling of a fresh start that comes from the September "New Year"!<br />
<br />
My kids still consented to one picture for the first day of school ( actually I threatened and bribed them, but hey. . . I got my photo!) And I managed to get down to work and actually get the photo scrapped!<br />
<br />

These I did using sketches from <a href="http://www.wescrap.com/">WeScrap</a> - each week they have a great sketch on <a href="http://www.wescrap.com/home/forumdisplay.php/14-Sketchy-Saturdays">Sketchy Saturday!</a> <br />

I popped into <a href="http://scrapbookparade.wordpress.com/">Scrapbook Parade</a> this week and picked up some really cute paper from <a href="http://www.mylyb.com/sweet_summertime">My Little Yellow Bicycle</a> - their summer line called "Sweet Summertime". Turns out it is absolutely perfect for my fave summer photo ( see my <a href="http://groovyscrapbooker.blogspot.com/2011/08/crazy-summer-fun-and-my-fave-summer.html">last post</a>) and I had so much fun putting this layout out together with just a few buttons and a couple of coordinating embellies from this fantastic line!<br />

We haven't been there with the kids since they were little, so this year we decided to make the trip to on of my favourite places! <br />
<br />
It has changed a lot, but some things never change including my favourite house:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7A4FCDV5LhY/TkV8rxGjWnI/AAAAAAAACfQ/l0tp4LKByUg/s1600/IMG_6491.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7A4FCDV5LhY/TkV8rxGjWnI/AAAAAAAACfQ/l0tp4LKByUg/s400/IMG_6491.JPG" width="267" /></a></div><br />
And of course the steam train!!! Everyone loved riding on this beauty!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tbq2lW5vhXM/TkV8sLBB-KI/AAAAAAAACfY/_-nOByAOL-U/s1600/IMG_6497.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tbq2lW5vhXM/TkV8sLBB-KI/AAAAAAAACfY/_-nOByAOL-U/s400/IMG_6497.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
And what trip to the park would be complete with out a trip to the general store - <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MppEHESlkg8/TkV8sSxIPlI/AAAAAAAACfg/No3Q6I6Sz9o/s1600/IMG_6501.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MppEHESlkg8/TkV8sSxIPlI/AAAAAAAACfg/No3Q6I6Sz9o/s400/IMG_6501.JPG" width="267" /></a></div><br />
