Some New Projects

2011-08-05T08:17:00.000-07:00

I have a few new projects I have made with SEI products, the first is a layout of me and Scarlett (typical!) the second is a little brag book in a mini paper box and the third is a christmas card (you can never start too early!)

This one is a canvas I made of Scarlett's pictures with the Easter bunny, I made 2, one for each Grandma!

And this is my first attempt at a Tim Holtz Configuration Box, I am very happy with how it turned out! :)

Scarlett Post

2011-04-29T07:01:00.000-07:00

Well I have unfortunaitly been far too busy to craft this week, however will quickly share some photos of Scarlett with everyone, and hopefully I will have lots of crafting to share in the next little bit as I have high hopes for her Birthday Party in less than 1 months time! :) Wish me luck!!!

Lots to Post Today!

2011-04-18T15:00:00.000-07:00

Well last monday I did not post on my blog because I was in Lethbridge with the LOVELY Kara and KC having an AWESOME day, which left no time to blog post...

Scarlett has been super busy learning to read and make a really big mess!!!

And today we went to Chapters on Whyte and had a fun pow wow on the floor in front of some awesome design books...

And a sneak peak into my newest adventure! I can't wait until this is completed and perfect, I will be SO happy!!!! :) Yay...

Also does anyone else LOVE LOVE LOVE Pinterest!!! I am completely OBSESSED!!! WOW!!!

4 Weeks and going strong!!!

2011-04-04T21:21:00.000-07:00

Well This is week 4 of crafting mondays with KC and we are still crafting and loving every second of it! This week I redecorated a tree I got from Starbucks one year after Christmas... I used the Daily Junque line from Pink Paislee by House of Three and I love it SO much!!! I dont think it is dont yet, but I ran out of time... So until next week!

And I also have my weekly Scarlett photo update! :) I love her SO much!!! And Junior and Ferrarri too!!

Mascarades & Wonder Woman

2011-03-28T14:09:00.000-07:00

I am starting to get ready for national scrapbooking day which includes our Mascarade crop for the friday night party!!! I am loving how my mascarade masks are turning out!!!

And is Scarlett not the cutest Wonder Woman you ever did see???

Until next week...

I love Craft Monday!!!!

2011-03-21T17:16:00.000-07:00

Here is my weekly craft project... I chose to finish a canvas I started probably two years ago, I am SO happy that I finally decided to finish it! :)

And a blog post would never be complete without a little Scarlett cuteness, so here is a mini week in review of Scarlett...

Time for my Annual Post ;)

2011-03-14T15:07:00.000-07:00

Alright well me and my sister KC have decided to start taking monday as a crafting day for ourselves so we have started off by challenging eachother to start posting on our blog every monday! So here it goes...

This morning I was trying to get some things done around the house before I went to pick KC up and I knew that Scarlett would play well on her own if I gave her some Scrapbooking supplies to entertain herself with!

How cute is my baby!!!!

I am also trying to decorate a reusable safeway bag as inspired by Lisa!!! I am very excited to find out if it works but I think we will have to wait until next week to find out the end of that story!

I will try to post before next monday, because I really want to get back to my reusable bag, but if all else fails I`ll see you on monday!!!

I'm SO Excited!!!

Spring is Here!

2010-03-15T18:39:00.000-07:00

I am not sure if it is the Spring air or just the thought of not knowing what my schedule will look like in a few months, but something has my mojo on full force and I couldn't love it more! Not every page I make is perfect or my favorite by any means, but I am so happy to be engaging in scrapbooking again, I am feeling GREAT!

More Layouts!

2010-03-12T09:45:00.000-08:00

So I have actually been scrapbooking lately and I love love love it! I have missed doing this for me and taking the time to relax and just play! I made these 2 layouts because I bought some stencils at Michaels and I wanted to practice making my own patterened paper, and this is what happened!

And I made 3 Riff Raff Layouts with their new February/ March release, which was full of GREAT shapes!

2010-03-10T05:21:00.001-08:00

Well I have started to collect just little bits and peices for my baby, I am trying to hold off until I know what I am having, but that is almost impossbible, so below are a few little things I just couldn't resist. This is a canvas I am working on (not done) that will look great in the room if it is a boy!

This is an adorable little print I ordered from Bam Pop, not sure yet if it works but it is SO cute, I will have to use it for something! And these are a few of the soother clips I bought from the store that I cant wait to use, they are SO cute!!!

And I made two layouts last night, they are both pretty simple, that seems to be the rut I am stuck in right now, but I love them anways, I am SO excited that I have been scrapbooking again, it makes me feel VERY happy! :)

Baby Room ETC.

2010-02-21T22:08:00.001-08:00

This is a banner I made at the Memories Wholesale event this past weekend using American Crafts Botanique. I am hoping I have a little girl so I can hang it in her room... I think it looks SO pretty in the baby room!

And here is some pictures of the baby furniture since it has been built and in the room for a few weeks now I guess it is time to show the world. I LOVE it so much and cant wait to embellish this room once I have my little baby!

Inspiration

2010-02-13T14:22:00.000-08:00

I have been looking like a mad women at what will inspire me for my baby room (which I cant decorate until I have my baby so I know if I can go girlie or cute little man-ie). Here is what I have found so far!

(I really like girlie stuff... poor little guy if I have a boy!)

Just... You Know...

2010-02-02T12:23:00.000-08:00

So this is my baby with its foot above its head inside my belly, trying to grab its little toes...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

I know I know...

2010-01-20T13:33:00.000-08:00

Well I had a doctor appointment this morning and found out I have gained 22 pounds already! oops!!! I think that the chocolate I eat for dinner and ice cream sundaes I inhale for lunch might not be helping me out so much! But I am going to enjoy it while I still have an excuse! :)

This is me today at 23 weeks and 2 days! :) I am so excited to have a little baby! YaY!

2008-04-12T23:22:00.000-07:00

Okay Nadine and Veronica (who PS Nadine you dont even update that often either!)

Well tonight i was informed by my fabulous husband that i was being suprised with a suprise dress up double date... Not like suit and dress dress up but still.. Seeing as i dont really usually have any life what - so - ever I was totally pumped!

His sister also suprised her husband, and then her and dave picked us up at 6:30 and we went to dinner at Von's which is mine and gordons "special" restaurant (where we went for our first anniversary of dating back in grade 12, the restauraunt he proposed to me at, and also where we went the first valentines we were married... so it was fun to remember some of our happy memories now that we have been together for long enough to start thinking of the "good old days" :) He is so cute!)

So anyways, then we went to the movie "Smart People" which is up there with Juno for me (im sure it has something to do with that actress whom i LOVE)

but yeah i dont know if you actually all care... but you insisted that i inform you of SOMETHING so i hope your evening was even half as cool and eventful as mine! ;) HaHa have a GREAT weekend all of you and enjoy all the goodies you picked up this afternoon!

peace!

:) :) :)

2008-03-25T13:13:00.000-07:00

(Stole the photo from Veronica)
Happy Belated Birthday Veronica if your looking...

I think I would just like to say thank you so much to all you girls in this photo (and you too Jill) for making me feel so welcome in your group... I know it was together before my time, and i was SO nervous to buy the store and not know all you girls who already had so much history... So thanks for letting me be a part of the "cool croud"! I always have so much fun when everyone is at the store hanging out, you guys just bring something so awesome to the place and i really appreciate how great all of you are! :) I mean seriously how hot do we all look here! HELLO!!!

Lisa here. I took photos of some of Chan's layouts, and will post them here for your enjoyment. Enjoy! (This first one was actually done by Chantel's hubby Gordon!)

Sorry some of the pics are kind of un-rad. I am far too lazy to take each one out of their protective covering! Check back for more photos...Chantel's been busy and my camera died before I could shots of the whole album. Ta Ta!
