Project 12 July Layout

Have you been following Project 12?? I have been trying to do my layouts each months - some have been better than others!!! It is hosted by Scrapbook and Cards Today, and you create a double layout each month. You can click the link in my sidebar for all the info!! Here is my July Layout, based on another great sketch by Becky Fleck!

We had so much fun at Atlantis Waterslides! I am also trying to use up my stash - these papers are from Scenic Route - sadly now out of business - with a few newer ticket embellishments from Tim Holtz, October Afternoon and Jenni Bowlin

While I was on a double layout roll, I also did this one with pics from our strawberry picking adventure earlier in July! I have SO many photos - I am really trying to do more double layouts with lots of pics on the page!!!

This one uses papers and embellishments from Echo Park's Sweet Summertime line. Clean simple and get it done is my current motto. ( Except for when I need to be all vintage and one photo-ish!!!!)

Happy Day everyone!

Let it Snow!!! ( And a CHA peek from GCD Studios!)

No, it is not snowing!!! - Actually it is a balmy 9 degrees Celsius today, but I was in Calgary in December and it was VERY snowy there! Here is the evidence!

This is for a class I am teaching at Scrapbook Parade next Tuesday ( sorry it is sold out!)

I absolutely love the purple and turquoise colour combo for snow photos!! This paper is from GCD - who I also just happen to have a CHA Sneak from!!!! Good planning on my part, I'd say! ;)

Here are few of their MANY new lines - click the website link above for all the details!!!

The first is Zippity:

And Ella Blue:

This one is Ava:

And my personal favourite, Homespun Chic (I LOVE the cool Vintage look!!)

So much scrappy goodness - how will I ever decide?????!!!!!!!!

Happy Day everyone!!!

Layout Inspiration

I had so much fun at the weScrap Think Pink crop this past weekend!! I got a lot accomplished and thought I would share a few things with you. The above was a card challenge.

This layout of Josh uses one of my favourite quotes ( on the photo), and one of my fave photos of Josh! Paper is from Sassafrass Lass and CosmoCricket. The letters are from Scenic Route.

This is my favourite layout of the weekend. My friend Donna came to visit us in September and brought this and a few other photos of Hannah's first few days. Donna is a special friend who was present at the birth of all of our kids as my a support for both Mark and I. Thanks Donna!

I really can't remember how small she was. . . so fun to scrap those baby pics again!!! Paper is from Basic Grey and the embellishments are a mish mash of stuff I found in my stash!!!

Thanks weScrap! I had a great time! And hey everyone - check my blog tomorrow for a tutorial on how to make a crisscross card!!!

Happy Fall!

I love the fall season, and I especially love taking photos of all the fun fall things that I love about the season - crisp colourful leaves, pumpkins, scarecrows. . . and of course harvest time, Thanksgiving ( in Canada) and Halloween.

Today's layout (above) is a series of photos of things I love about fall. The product is almost all Scenic Route, with a tiny bit of My Mind's Eye for good measure. Try and get out and enjoy the season this weekend if you can - it is supposed to be lovely here in Victoria, so I want take advantage of the warm days and sunshine while I can!!

Happy Day!
