OMG - A Post!

Hey Strangers!

I know, I know, it has been forever, but I wanted let you know I was still around, although our house STILL isn't done and very little scrappy anything is getting done due to the chaos!  But I did get a chance to complete a couple of projects for one of my very favourite companies - Upsy Daisy Designs!

Here is a peek at one of them:

Inspired by the Nickleback song - it is all about the kids' love for Rockband! (OK, I love it, too!) It uses the lovely "See You Later Alligator" line - which is completely adorable and fun!!!

For another quick and easy project that is a great thank you gift, check out my post on The Daisy Diaries blog today!

Happy Scrapping everyone!!

It's almost complete. . . .

After over 3 months, our main floor is finally getting back to some semblance of order!  We now have flooring, hopefully will soon have a bathroom again, and my scraproom is beginning to be unpacked! YIPPEE!  As soon as it is done I will post some pics of the new improved look!  I am really happy with how bright and clean it looks - but we will see how long that lasts!

In the meantime, I managed to get a few cards done for the Upsy Daisy Design Team - the first is a little vintage fun!  I used a photo from an old issue of Good Housekeeping magazine ( from the 50's), along with the fabulous VOGUE line - which I love!

The front:

 And the inside:

 

Hopefully by tomorrow I will have a layout or two, and maybe a sneak peek of my scraproom in progress!

Happy Day everyone!

Bread and Roses. And Chocolate.

Today is the day to celebrate all women - and ponder how to truly create equality! I will be celebrating with chocolate and the church ladies! Take a look at this video - it is great food for thought - and it has Daniel Craig in it - 'nuff said.

Top of the Bad Blogger List!!!

I cannot believe a month has gone by since I last posted!  YIKES!  February has proved to be crazy busy, and amid the ongoing renovation saga ( which has turned into a gigantic project!), I have gone back to school to become a Childbirth Educator!  Not to mention all the usual chaos of our busy household!

While sorting through my unfinished projects - I found these using the wonderful products from my friends at Upsy Daisy:

(Products are from the Man About Town II line)

 (From the Avalanche line)

(From the Unwritten line)

Check out the links for even more inspiration from the talented Upsy Daisy Design Team members!

And speaking of Upsy Daisy - congrats to Nicole Nyvall (co owner of Upsy Daisy Designs) on the birth of baby #4 on January 29th - welcome to the world Carter! 

Now that I am back to blogging - look for more designs from Upsy Daisy and updates on the great renovation - which has grown from replacing our main floor flooring and bathroom to flooring upstairs, a huge kitchen/family room reno and updates to the other bathrooms and laundry room!  We must be crazy!!
