Jewelry Cravings!

Some of you may know that I used to make tons of jewelry on a regular basis....however the last year or so I just haven't found any beads or glass that have inspired me to pick up my pliers....until today!

Look at this yummy necklace! I love it! I think this may be my fav summer necklace...is it just me or does it remind you of a Flinstones necklace.....tee hee I'll be wearing this lots, so I'll try and get a photo of it on me soon :) I have enough beads to make another one, so please drop me a note if you want to purchase one!

Cheers

Mid-Week Layouts!!!

Using some older lines in my stash...a bit of Crate Paper, a bit of Scenic Route and lots of Love Elsie Embellies!

Hope you are all having a great week so far! I've been busy with the button factory, and also trying to get a few things done before the Gone Wild Crop this weekend :) I'm really looking forward to it!

Happy Hump day :)

I confess....I love bright colors!

I don't know why, but I love bright colors in my life....from my clothes to my house and especially in my scrapbooking!!!

Here are a few new layouts, you may need your sunglasses tee hee

New Layouts!

Here are a few layouts I've been working on lately..... I need someone to organize an intervention for me though....from my Edge Distressor and Orchid Template! Ack! I'm trying to force myself to NOT use them, and its sooooo difficult! LOL

Thanks for stopping by!

Creative Scrappers Reveal!

I'm just getting into the groove of things here at home again since returning from a fabulous vacation with my Sweetie...I have a few layouts to take photos of, a few Whimsy orders to get ready and last but not least, go through all of the DT Whimsy applications that were sent in! Yikes! I have no idea how I'm going to make that decision! So much talent!!!!

Here is the Creative Scrappers DT Reveal for today, Sketch #56 by Lady Grace

My brother Jason doesn't really enjoy getting his photo taken, so I try not to bug him too much...but couldn't resist this super cute moment with Rohan! Tee hee

Cheers,
Steph

Creative Scrappers Reveal and a few More pages!

So Dave and I are in the process of getting ready for our trip to London, UK this week....so many things to do before I leave! Yikes! Getting really excited as well....an entire week with my Sweetie in one of our favorite cities!!! I love travelling at the last minute, I tend to overplan and get a bit crazy(er) otherwise...so this is wonderful :)

Here is one of my all time fav layouts...Sassafras papers, Riff Raff Designs ILoveu hand sign, Fancy Pants Chipboard and Doodlebug brown glitter.

A fun layout of Rohan eating something gooey and gross (but having a blast!) Papers are Rusty Pickle CandyLand Collection.

Here is my Creative Scrappers Reveal for Sketch #54, this was tons of fun to put together! Prima Marketing papers and lots of Stickles!

Take care, and I'll be sure to post lots of photos when we return from our vacation :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Halifax Mojo!

I'm not quite sure what it is...but every time I visit my Sweetie in Halifax lately, I seem to be able to scrap for hours and I end up coming home with a months worth of scrapping!

I just love sitting at the kitchen table scrapping, all the while interacting with Dave and the boys while they get their homework done etc.

Here are the layouts I finished Saturday night! I have one other one, but didn't get a chance to journal on it yet.... Can you tell I tend to bring scraps with a paper collection or two? tee hee (This weekend was Crate Paper's Lemon Grass Collection...love those glitter diecuts!)

Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers,

Wow! I'm quite a delinquent blogger lately! Where did the month of May go!!! Its difficult to believe June is almost upon us!

I think that most of my Scrappy pre-orders have arrived from Winter CHA 2009 (still waiting of the yummy Sassafras felties though!) and now they are coming out with new things already! I just received the Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird and October Afternoon Cherry Hill in the mail today....wow, these are even more beautiful in real life!

This weekend, my Sweetie and I cleaned out and re-organized my basement! I know, many of you probably are thinking: "Steph, why are you so excited about this?" Well, I love to organize my stuff...doing a clean sweep and starting from scratch is my favorite thing to do, especially with my scrappy supplies! My basement houses my treadmill, my computer, laundry room and my "Crafting" area (scrap, Whimsy shop and painting) and things had been piling up lately.

It began as a project to add a sink in my laundry room and just went from there! (the sink project is ongoing, but it now just need to be plumbed in) Dave re-wired my high speed internet connection so I could move my computer to another area of the basement and then he added some PEGBOARD to my scrappy area! I just lurrve pegboard and must buy more! tee hee (oh, but I lurrrrve Dave more! LOL)

My Sweetie is so supportive of my scrappy addiction...he doesn't understand it, but he supports me 100% LOL He shakes his head in bewilderment when I mention pegboard and my eyes light up a little ha! ha! Once the space is completely organized, I'll share photos :)

Now, here are a few projects I've been working on over the last month or so.....

Here are Dave and the boys play-acting at the Big Lobster in Shédiac, NB....They are so silly sometimes LOL

Here is my Creative Scrappers Reveal for Sketch # 50

And my Creative Scrappers Reveal for Sketch #52

A Sweet photo of my beautiful nephew Rohan, I'm finally cutting into my Sassafras Lass stash! I love this line....reminds me of my childhood in the 70's.

This one was part of the Creative Scrappers Birthday Bash, Button challenge (how could I resist?)

Until next time!

Steph

How She Loves....

Have you discovered Rose Moka papers yet? Here's a layout using one of their lines from last year "Appel De La Nature"...beautiful, heavy, double-sides papers!

I just ordered their three new lines today, I just couldn't resist! Mec, Diva, Pique-Nique Just stunning!!! (and Canadian!)

Cheers,

Steph
