CHA SNEAK PEEK #3- Cosmo Cricket

Mitten Weather?? hard to imagine while sitting by the lake in 33 degree weather!!! But this line from Cosmo Cricket is absolutely adorable and one of my favourites so far of the Holiday themed products premiering at CHA!!

I am pretty much loving all things Cosmo, and this winter/Christmas line is completely adorable!!! I am a sucker for cutie pie Santas and Snowfriends!!! Check out the borders and stickers!!!

And I love that the colours are not only traditional red and green, but also a fabulous purple and white, as well!!! Here are a few of the double sided papers:

If you are not quite ready for winter, how about this adorable line perfect for the little (and big) girls in your life - Pixie-licious!

There are a couple more lines as well - Togetherness and a revamped take on their very first line - Wanted ( and yes, I have some of the original papers!!!!)

Tomorrow I will be checking out some of the spooky lines coming from The Girls Paperie, American Crafts and others!!! Hope you will check back!!!!

A Few New Layouts

Despite the fact that spring fever has officially set in, I have been doing some scrapping, so I thought I better post a few layouts to prove it!! I have been trying to use up what I have in my stash ( which, let's face it, is like shopping in a store! LOL) so this one of Josh uses old Cloud Nine Design papers and embellishments.

Below is a layout using Cherry Sundae from October Afternoon:

And the Boyfriend line from Cosmo Cricket:

And even older Hello Sunshine from Cosmo Cricket!!!!
And yes, that is a pic of my kids and my godkids in front of porta-potties! Gotta love that!

Happy Day everyone!!

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!!!

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!!!

Cosmo Cricket Sneak Peek - 'Nuff Said!

I AM A:

No, this is not a flashback to the 80's, and my brief stint as a hair bow wearing, Madonna singing, stirrup pant Material Girl!!! ( Your welcome!) But I am absolutely in LOVE with the latest offerings from Cosmo Cricket!!!

Seriously, I could have cried with joy when I saw these wonderful new lines from my fave company ( no, really, not just my "fave that I say about pretty much anything", but my "Oh My God I love everything they do" fave!

I can't post everything here, but I will give you a taste and you can check out the rest on the Cosmo Cricket blog (where they just happen to have a super cool contest running, as well)!

Check out Material Girl:

Or how about a Joyride????

Or how about a little Garden Variety scrappy goodness??

Take a look at all they have to offer - I can't WAIT!!!!

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!!!
