I'm loving the new Blog makeover Kristine did for me tonight....love that banner, and the clouds, feels so crisp and clean! Big shout out to K who rocks when it comes to Blog designing! See how she even cleaned up my sidebar and made it look all tidy?

Another Layout!




Here's this weeks layout for the LCOM Scrapivor competition....my scrap space was buried this week from the move, and almost wasn't able to get this one done! Cleared a spot and with 30min to spare managed to get this photographed and uploaded LOL tee hee Scrapping under pressure! The challenge this week was to use the quote "I think your whole life shows on your face and you should be proud of that".
Back to work tomorrow *sigh*....although moving is tough, I'd still rather be home sorting through our things and organizing than go back to work hehehehe
Cheers,
Steph

Here's my take on this week's awesome sketch from Creative Scrappers ! I really love this one....and the October Afternoon Cherry Hill papers were so fun to work with! This collection is really one of my favs...and of course, a little mushroom and bumble bee from My Little Bit of Whimsy hehe

LCOM April DT Work....yes, I'm still kickin' around!

Yes, I'm still kickin' around...its been a VERY long week! We moved all of my belongings from Saint John to Halifax on Monday (for non-locals, that a 4hr drive) and lets just say that once I've calmed a bit, Uhaul is getting a piece of my mind..... What a mess!

So now I'm taking the week to sort through and manage all of our stuff, one never realizes how much CRAP one has until it is stacked in boxes to the ceiling of your living room hehehe

Bonus though, the cats are having a great time, kinda like a jungle gym made of cardboard LOL Oi! I'm tired, I can tell by the babbling ;)

Here's my latest work for Let's Capture Our Memories












Thanks for stopping by!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Dave and I are getting ready for the move on Monday....bringing all of my big furniture from Saint John to Halifax (Yay!)

Creative Scrappers Sketch #99


Hi folks!
Just a quick note to post my take on the Creative Scrappers Sketch #99 I loved working with this sketch + my Sassafras Me Likey collection....lost of fussy cutting on this layout, all those little pieces of fruit and critters were hand cut and added with popdots for dimension :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Week 2 of LCOM's "Scrapivor"!

Here's my layout for week 2 @ LCOM! The Scrapivor challenge this week was to be inspired by these cute little wildlife animal figures....so naturally I had to use my new Sassafras Apple Jack papers! Wahoooo!

Oh my heavens, I received SO MUCH Sassafras this week, it was just like Christmas! All my new Sass arrived from LCOM as well as my Warehouse boxes I ordered directly from Sassafras (they offer this super cool discount every year)...Its like those penny candy "grab bags" that we used to get as kids.....you just never knew what you were going to get LOL Needless to say, I love every single piece that we in the parcel (thank goodness since I ordered 2 of them LOL)

Well, I'm off to visit the family in New Brunswick tomorrow! Evan's decided to join me (Dave's youngest son), so we should have a fun little road trip :)

Happy Weekend!

Layout & CS Blog Bounce Winner Announced!

Here's a new layout I did yesterday...just for fun, no sketch, no challenge, just me and a few pieces of paper and lots of cute embellies! This is my friend Elaine...she's such an outdoorsy girl! When she speaks of her camping adventures or her geocaching finds her face just lights up! I often say to her "I don't understand it, but I support you"....(this is what Dave tells me about my scrapbooking hobby hehehe)
I used some of my older stash for the misting....I dug out my Fancy Pants Clear cuts! They are perfect for masking, and they have the coolest shapes! I've had these in my stash for years and never really knew what to do with them, but after Sunday's "Ah ha!" moment, I have so many ideas swirling around now ;)

And now, without any further delay, the winner of the Creative Scrappers Blog bounce is Ameliak!!! Amelia, please email me your addy and I'll ship out your prize tomorrow afternoon!


Thank you all for your lovely comments.....133 in total, that's a record for my little blog!!! Hope you enjoyed the bounce, I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Cheers,
Steph
