Sketchabilities #110 Reveal~

I can't believe it's that time again already. Today is reveal day at Sketchabilities!

Once again Karan from Sketchabilities did not disappoint with her fabulous sketch.

This funky and fun layout was created using patterned papers and embellishments from the Print Shop Collection by Studio Calico.

I loved their vellum die cut embellishments.

Canadian Scrapbooker Spring 2014~

I was SO excited to get my issues of Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine in the mail this afternoon. I had been hearing of everyone else getting their issues from their local scrapbook stores, and I was getting antsy!

The Spring 2014 Issue marks a full year of issues that I have had projects in. I am so proud to be a "Canadian Scrapbooker"!

Here is the first of 2 layouts that I had in this issue. A Robert Munsch themed layout, using a quote from one of his poems.

The second layout is in the Wedding section of the magazine. A layout that I created using Teresa Collins product and showcases journalling by my VERY proud hubby.

If you haven't already, be sure to pick up your Spring 2014 issue of Canadian Scrapbooker. There are a TON of east coast creations featured!!

Because I was sent 2 copies of this issue, I thought I would do a little giveaway!

If you would like to get your hands on this magazine and a Spring themed pack of buttons from Buttons Galore & More, enter below!

Happy Birthday 2 You~

This is a 6x6 card that I created recently. I fully admit that I don't often create cards, but when I do I find they look a lot like my scrapbook layouts. I love to layer and mix great patterns and bright colours.

This card is a perfect example of that.

Project Recipe:

• JilliBean Soup- Cold Avocado Soup Collection (patterned papers and stickers)
• Want 2 Scrap- Bling
• Making Memories Glitter Number
• EK Success Photo Corner Punch

The 6x6 card is created to open sort of like french doors, but one side is smaller than the other on this card. One flap is 2" the other is 4".

Thank you for stopping by!

Well Travelled Reveal #2~

Today is my second reveal for Down a Dirt Road Scrapbooking for February.

February's kit is compiled of paper and embellishments from Carta Bella's, Well Travelled Collection.

A challenge that was placed with this kit was to make something that is Valentine's themed, being as it is February. So I created two this Love themed layout using photos from my cousins wedding this past summer.

I adore the birch bark hearts that were sent along with my kit, so pretty and I love the texture.

I added these glitter black Thickers for my title.

My second layout today, shows off a little more of the collections travel theme.

The black buttons are of course from Buttons Galore & More.

Thank you for stopping by, be sure to check out Down a Dirt Road Scrapbooking and all the fun that we have on the forum there!

Winter Crop Reveal #2~

We have been having one WILD winter thus far, and that makes it hard for us Atlantic Canadians to travel any great distance at any given time. So often there are very few big crop events planned through the winter months. But Kelly, from My Stamping Studio in Windsor decided to throw caution to the wind and plan a large crop at the end of January right in Windsor.

I decided to just go for it and book to go with some great friends to break up those winter blahs, even though I live about 5 and a half hours away. Luckily it all worked out and Mother Nature cooperated in getting us to and from Windsor safely.

So here is the second half of my reveal of weekend creations.

This wintery layout was created using paper from October Afternoon and snowflake embellishments by Martha Stewart Crafts.

This next layout is created using patterned papers and embellishments from Teresa Collins, Memorabilia Collection.

This layout full of sweetness is created using patterned papers from the Cut & Paste collection from My Mind's Eye.

The flowers are from Prima, and the buttons from Buttons Galore & More.

The last layout of my 2 post reveal is created using patterned paper and sticker embellishments from Echo Park's Here & Now collection. It and the previous My Mind's Eye collection can be found at The Cutting Garden.

The flowers are from Prima and the buttons from Buttons Galore & More.

I have had this package of multi coloured mesh for a few years now, and I finally used my first piece...I love it!

Thank you so much for stopping by for the second half of my Winter Crop Reveal!

Winter Crop Reveal #1~

We have been having one WILD winter thus far, and that makes it hard for us Atlantic Canadians to travel any great distance at any given time. So often there are very few big crop events planned through the winter months. But Kelly, from My Stamping Studio in Windsor decided to throw caution to the wind and plan a large crop at the end of January right in Windsor.

I decided to just go for it and book to go with some great friends to break up those winter blahs, even though I live about 5 and a half hours away. Luckily it all worked out and Mother Nature cooperated in getting us to and from Windsor safely.

So we went, had a great time in the pet friendly Super 8 in Windsor with some great people. Here is the first half of that weekend's reveal.

This layout was a group effort, as I have been looking for purple paper and embellishments for months to go with these photos. I just do not pick up purple stuff when I see it. So the papers are a mix of those from Donna and Angela. The flowers came from Donna and Jocelyn. The rest I managed to scrounge up myself from my stash of goodies.

The letter stickers were from EK Success and Making Memories. The mustaches were from 2 different My Mind's Eye collections.

This Race Day layout was created using patterned paper and embellishments I picked up at the crop by Crate Paper, Maggie Holmes collection.

Thank you Shelley for having the perfect Thickers glitter stickers for the title.

This layout was created using the Away We Go collection by Fancy Pants.

The flowers are all from Prima, and the buttons are from Buttons Galore & More.

My last layout of the reveal today was created using the Cut & Paste collection from My Mind's Eye. I have adored the colours of this collection, and used every little bit of it that I had. You can pick it up at The Cutting Garden.

I used my 1.75" circle punch to create this fish scale look.

The buttons are again from Buttons Galore & More.

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out this first half of my Winter Crop Reveal. Check back soon to see what else I created that wintery weekend.
