Finally!!

So I am trying to get a little Organized around here!!! I figured it was time to put some layouts in albums!! No one's gonna see 'em while they sit on my shelf. While I was doing this I figured I would take some pictures of a couple of them and post them on here!! Only two are new.....the last two...but it's been so long whats the difference!! Ha Ha!!!

It's ME!! Love all that Elsie stuff, and Prima Tape!!!

Sister Love. I used the Indy Art cartridge on the Cricut for this page... and added some wings.

My Daddy!!! Love Hambly Transparency sheets!! The grid is my ABSOLUTE fave!!!

Good times on 17th Ave. Used coragated cardboard to make the brackets...love it!!

This one says "U R My Sunshine" I used to sing that to her when she was little. I think we all did!! You totally can't see it on the picture but I used masking tape on the left side of the photo. It was my first time and I looks cool on the real thing.

Well thats all. I feel so much better getting these up!!! Like a load lifted off my shoulders!!! Had an awesome time scrapin with my friend Ash today!!! Love scrapbooking with her!!!!

Thats All!!!

Just Playing Around

So...I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading blogs. Its becoming worse than my facebook addiction. One blog in particular though gets me every time!! Adrienne Loomans!!! Her work....her photography...it was amazing. I love the way she edits her photos. So quite by accident (I double clicked or somthing!! ha ha!!) the other day...I found that the lap top has a program do that!!! I WAS SOOO EXCITED!!!! So here are some of the photos I was playing around with.

Back ally in Victoria. Love the way it turned out.

MY FAVE!!!! She is soo cute to start with though!!!

This one was just fun to change the colors.

Anyway...now I am editing EVERYTHING!!! ha ha. So there will be more I am sure. I haven't been scrapbooking lately....I think I am in a scrapbooking RUT!!! Any advice???? I have also been teaching kids camp all week. It's alot of fun!! Those kids are crazy!! I will have some pictures up next week hopefully!!!

Thats all folks!!

Faves, Tricks, and News!!!

Since I can't get around to acutally taking pictures of new layouts I thought I would just show you some of my new (and old) favourite products!! Some aren't even out yet but oh I can tell they are gonna be awesome!!!

Hambly Screen Prints....I LOVE THIS GRID!!!! It looks awesome how ever you use it and it's a transparency!!!

I love anything with brids and owls so I LOVE LOVE LOVE these rub-onz!!!

Very cool trasparency tape from prima! Love the bar code and the crowns!! Looks awesome over top of pictures!!

American Crafts Paper

Prima "A is for..." Stickers...Usually not my thing but I really like these craft colored stickers.

Two new lines from the 5 that Basic Grey introduced at Summer CHA show in Chicago!! I love them all but I especially love Ambrosia and Urban Prairie (which is a little more girly that I usually go for but it's soooo pretty)!!! So can't wait for those to come!!

And then there is always my good old roll of dry wall tape...and aluminum tape....and CRAFT cardstock!!!! Those are my tops!!! If I could just use craft cardstock everytime...I am going to buy faux wood contact paper (you know the kind they used to line cupboards with...)...Elsie Flannigan uses it all the time and it is for sure somthing I want to try!!! Who knows maybe that will end up in my favourites!!

I just learnt somthing new the other day!! I have never been a big "Cuttle Bug" fan... however.. one of our regulars came in and used it to emboss ACRYLIC!!!! It was sooo cool!! She embossed Heidi Swapp Ghost Letters. It just makes them stand out a little more than they normally would. TRY IT!!! Now that I found a cool use for it I may have to buy one!! (this is where Jordan would roll his eyes). I did a layout using this trick and I will post it ASAP.

Robin and Lori just got back from CHA Chicago and I CAN"T WAIT FOR EVERYTHING TO GET TO THE STORE!!! Robin showed me everything they baught and WOW!!! Some AWESOME AWESOME stuff comming up!!

Me and Jen R. are still in talks about our big "THING" as I call it right now.......I CAN"T WAIT....to get seriously into planning and working on it!! It's going to be amazing and fun and crazy!!!

I also have to add that I was looking at Donna Downey's blog yesterday and she looks AMAZING!!!! She has been doing the Nutrisystem thing and has lost 45 pounds!! I was so inspired when I saw her before and after pictures on the web that I am going to start trying harder!!! Wow she is INCREDIBLE and looks HOT!!!! WAY TO GO!! ( I love her!!!)

http://donnadowney.typepad.com/ Check it out!!! JUST AMAZING!!!!!

Anyway....me and Jordan go on holidays in less that a week!!! YAYAYAY!!!! Can't wait....Love going out of town!!!

That's all I got for now!!!

My Weekend Away

Ok so I'm a little bit late.....however I still have to blog about my trip to Camp Caroline for the Scrapbook Your Heart retreat 2008. I got to meet so many awesome people this weekend!!! Christine Collier (Close to my Heart), Janine Wahl(from Prima) and Allison Orthner just to name a few!!!

It was great to hang out with friends....and after some interesting table talk I am very sure I will not be having children any time soon....again...I'M SO SORRY MOMA!!!!!!!!!!! After seriouse lack of sleep the stories flew!!!!!

But my favourite part of the weekend was all the sessions. Family, Friends, Faith and Fun. Each one inspiring me to scrapbook deeper....and to think about why I scrapbook......I was so insipred to come home and work on some new pages!! Not to metion the layouts we did were BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I still need to finish a couple of them!! I ran out of time.

Ladies working very very hard....

Getting Ready to listen to another one of Allisons awesome sessions
