LCOM Crop Mojo!

Last weekend I met up with Kristine and Marielle for 2 days of scrappin!  The LCOM crops are always so much fun, lots of great laughs and memories!  Best of all, the mojo was FLOWING!  Seriously, I finished 11 layouts!!!  That's an all time record for me!  I'm already looking forward to the next weekend in November  (Zoe, remember to take your vitamines, no getting sick this time!)

Here are just a few of the layouts I worked on...I think this first one is my all time favorite...those sequence photos of Dave and I are so special :)  Thanks to my awesome friend Natalie for being such a talented photographer!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Be @ Home!

A few weeks ago Be @ Home asked if they could feature my blog on their site as part of their  "Best of the Web" weekly feature and of course I agreed!  I was extremely honored that they would feel my little blog worth the read, let alone featured :) 

Check out their site, they have great articles on home decor, cooking, pets, kids...you name it!  I think my favorite read so far is their Tips section...check out this article on creating your own giftwrap and my favorite Cat Tips Section!  Great ideas, and I'm going to look into the cat tent listed, I think my furkids would love to spend time outdoors safely!

Thanks for stopping by!
Hope you have a wonderful week

Scrappy Day with the lovely Zoe!

Last Sunday I drove up to Springhill, NS and spent the day with my lovely friend Zoë and her adorable family!  I hadn't scrapped in well over 2months and really needed the scrappy date to finally get glue to paper!  I'm not sure why that happens, but if I'm not creating something everyday I almost lose my nerve to sit down and make something.  Thanks to Zoë's wonderful hospitality though, I was able to make 3 full layouts and the beginning of a fourth! Yay!

A Little Bit of Sassy Sunshine!

As a self proclaimed Sassafras junkie, I'm surprised it took me this long to play with their latest collection Sunshine Broadcast!  I guess that really speaks to just how busy we've been here over at Casa Hart!  With all of the flooring and kitchen renos happening, its been difficult to think about anything else and my mojo just hasn't been easy to come by!

We leave for our family vacation tomorrow, it won't be very relaxing but so much fun to show Dave's boys London!  Our favorite city to visit :)  With all the worry about the kitchen lately, it was difficult to get excited about the trip....but my butterflies have finally arrived and I doubt I'll get any sleep tonight I'm so excited!

A Kitchy Friday Night!

So I haven't had the best of luck with printers over the years, a combination of not knowing what to buy and having a limited budget...(My dream is for a wide format printer, alas....one of these days!) 
The last printer I had was so terrible, I just brought it to the electronic recycling depot last year, spare cartridges and all....it worked fine as long as you didn't mind the "magenta look".  Now getting back to the point of this post, I finally took the pluge and bought another printer last week.  Nothing fancy or expensive, just a really great salesperson who "got" what I was looking for and pointed me in the right direction. 

The first thing I set out to do was print our a few of my digital kits from Kitchy Digitals.  I just love Danielle's retro style, so quirky and fun! 

Here is the layout I made with "Granny's Attic" and the "Stacked Flowers" kits....the printer did an amazing job!

Everything you see here save for the title (Maya Road) and the background kraft paper was printed with my HP Eprint printer, even the photo!  What freedom!  I don't always have to wait to pick up my prints at the store now :)

Thanks for letting me share my excitement!  Only a scrapper would understand the importance of a great printer on hand!

Happy Sunday

Scrappy Weekend at the LCOM Crop

In the midst of our renovations, I scooted on up to Moncton to scrap and chat with Kristine, Zoe, and Marielle....Tanya's crops are always worth the trip!

Kristine, Tanya (and her hubs) and I stayed up late the night before to get the shop ready.....and we were so tired we slept in a bit, sacrificing some valuable scrappy time!  Here is what I was able to work on, despite or late arrival....
Thanks for taking a peek!

Welcome Chaos....

Yes, I am still kickin' around....
We've been undergoing a few renovations in the house, particularly the basement where my computer/scrap/whimsy space is....so I've been relying on my iPhone for the last 3weeks for my Internet connection! 

Here is the basement last week, see the new floors?  Love!  That piano was a BEAST to move around!

Our bedroom is also in the basement (I know, weird eh?) So here is is after we had the floors done in that section and moved ALL of Dave's office and my scrappy stuff into it...can you spy my scrappy table upended? What about the clip it up at the veeeeery  back? 

Here is my scrappy space after moving all of the big pieces in and emptying the boxes.  Yikes!  It still needs organizing and purging, however my computer is set up and I'm finally able to sit down comfortably and scrap!  The new laminate floors are divine and totally worth 3 weeks of chaos, now to go pack up the kitchen for the demolition guys on Monday! 

Thanks for visiting!

Scrappy Weekend with Kristine!

Last weekend Kristine surprised me with a lovely visit filled with scrappy time, girl-talk and shopping! It was wonderful and I can't wait until our next scrappy weekend :)
Here are the layouts that I managed to finish while during our scrappy sessions, we even had a couple of "one hour Layout" challenges. These really help keep us focused and not spend so much time overthinking things.

Thanks for visiting and I welcome  your comments!
Cheers,
Steph
