CHA Winter Sneak Peek #7 - Basic Grey C'oredinations, Kaisercraft

I don't know about you, but I have been waiting anxiously for the latest from Basic Grey - I have a mini peek at the new line of Basic Grey Coredinations cardstock!

I also have a few of the newest lines from Kaisercraft for you!

I LOVE the wooden dress forms!!!  More to come this week as we get closer to CHA - keep checking back for all the latest and greatest!

Kitschy Coo!

I am currently in LOVE with fun vintage images like the ones found in the Early Bird line from Cosmo Cricket! So I had a blast designing the latest kit for Scrapbook Parade - it combines the fun of Early Bird with the cool kitschy patterns from Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry line!!! The result is way to much fun and a great kit!!! Here is a little sample of what I came up wit h using the kit, which is available tomorrow!!

This last one is a pic of my mom - she looks so absolutely adorable - I was so glad to have rescued the photo {ok, ok, I STOLE it when I was home last time -but SSSHHH - don't tell! ;) }

I had so much fun with this kit - if you are interested in the kit, contact the store asap - our kits have been selling out in about 24 hours!!!!

Tomorrow I will have a sneak peek of the Basic Grey Page of the month class I am teaching!!!

Happy day everyone!!!

Love is in the Air. . . and a new weScrap kit!!!

Yes Valentine's Day will soon be upon us. I am feeling rather grinchy about the whole thing this year, overshadowed as it is by all the Olympic hype of living on the West Coast!!!

In any case, I have done a few lovey dovey layouts using the new Sugar Rush line from Basic Grey, which, incidentally, is completely yummy!!!

I also have been busy doing some layouts for the weScrap Inspiration Team, using the fabulous new February Kit "Pretty on the Inside": (only $27.99 US and worth every penny!!!)

Hopefully this will provide a bit of inspiration for the weekend - and I will be back tomorrow with layouts from the Scrapbook Parade February Kit!!!

Happy Day everyone!!!

210 in 2010

Well, with all of the CHA excitement, I am a little behind on the Christmas photos that need scrapping! My goal for this year is to complete 210 layouts for 2010, and while I have got quite a few done already, I still have lots to do ( if only I took less photos!!!) I did get one 2 page layout done recently at a Scrapbook Parade crop - I used the Jolly by Golly line from Cosmo Cricket:





I also finished a layout of my friend Erin's sweet daughter Grayce - I used the Enchanted line from Pink Paislee - which I won from Canadian Scrapbooker Hands On Photography blog!!!

I also got one more layout done from Christmas - finally got to use that adorable Eskimo Kisses line from Basic Grey! But I have to say, the paper is not half as adorable as my daughter, Emily and Hammy, her hamster:

How are you doing on your scrappy goal for 2010? Do you have one? Let me know in the comments, and watch tomorrow's post for the winner of the Basic Grey Blog Candy!!!

BASIC GREY SNEAK PEEKS!! ( & Blog Candy!)

What is YOUR favourite? Leave a comment and let me know - I have a little bit of Basic Grey Blog Candy for one lucky commentor!!!

Happy Weekend!!!

December Kit Sneak Peek , Photoshop and NEW MOON!!!!

I cannot WAIT for this kit to arrive - it is in the mail as we speak and some of the other Design Team member have it already! It is called RUBY SOHO, which sounds lush and rich and apparently the kit is, too. I know it has some of Basic Grey's Indian Summer Line, as well as lots of other goodies! I am super excited to get it and hope it comes today so I can play with it this weekend!

It continues to be rainy and miserable here in Victoria - the good news being that I have no choice but to scrap in this weather (well, I could clean, but you know how I feel about THAT!!!).

It seems that there is a never ending source of photos that need to be scrapped! I finally put 40( yes 40!!) layouts into an album . The pile has been steadily growing since September!! I found a great little site that has lots of great tutorials and actions (ALL FREE) for Photoshop, so I have been workin on that, too! I really want to make use of the program for improving the quality of my photos. There is a blinkie link in the right sidebar - it is here for you as well - lots of fun stuff to try out, whether you are a beginner or more advanced user!!!

Now for some fun news - I am very excited that I get to take Hannah and her friend Madi too see New Moon on Friday afternoon!! yes, we are skipping school - we did for Twilight, too!!! Gotta make it an event!!!! Hannah is now officially a Team Jacob girl, but I am still hanging with the vampires!!! If only I was 5 years ( OK 15????) younger, sigh. I actually am more of a Team Carlyle woman!!! LOL!!!! Check it out here:



Happy Day everyone!!!
