From a Sketch!

The lovely weather of late has convinced me to be outdoors rather than scrapping, but I have managed to get a couple of layouts done in the past few days!  These I did using sketches from WeScrap - each week they have a great sketch on Sketchy Saturday! 

Check them out for some great inspiration - and PRIZES - I won this great kit for doing their August Challenges!



Happy Day everyone!

April WeScrap Kit Reveal!!! - Grandma's Attic

Today is the day for the weScrap Kit reveal! Above is one of my layouts with this awesome kit!! I love the textures of the papers in the kits - and they are so varied - from the whimsy of Sassafrass to Basic Grey Doilies, to cool felt texture Chatterbox!!!

Check out all the creations HERE and see what the I Team has created with this awesome kit!!!

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!!!

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!!!

H1N1 is no fun!!!

Well, despite my best attempts to ward off this miserable flu - poor Hannah has succumbed and so we are lying low and trying to keep everyone healthy!! With Mark and his mom away on a Mediterranean adventure, it has been a little hectic!! I never knew how much I could love hand sanitizer!!!!

I will be posting more tomorrow, but for today just wanted to remind you about weScrap's fabulous Christmas Kit - a limited edition kit featuring great Christmas lines from Making Memories and Bo Bunny!!! - For only $16.99 it could be an early Christmas gift from you to you!!!

More tomorrow - must go sanitize. . . .
