Handsome & Day Care




I love these papers! These are all by Upsy Daisy Designs and are too cute! The 'Handsom' layout is Brandons JK picture and the 3 candids I took of him on the first day of school with the tree in our front yard.

The DAYCARE LO is a school photo the daycare took of the 2 boys together. The flap lifts up for hidden journalling.

Boxer Line by Basic Grey

Created using the BOXER line from Basic Grey:

Hangin with unky Jeff

Uncle Jeff, the skydiving instructor! What fun the boys had at the Drop Zone watching the planes, sitting in the planes & watching th skydivers fall to the earth. I think the best part of their day was just Hanging Out with Unky Jeff!


Just Horsin Around
Grandma Bev & Papa Charlie brought both boys cowboy hats from the Havelock Jamboree (2008). Once they got their hats they needed their horsies and began horsin around!




This is an altered photo frame - one of my favourite pictures of the boys together!

Christmas in July!

I stopped at 2 LSS's today, no kids, just me! I love them, but how nice it is to be able to browse freely!

I have been thinking about a friends Christmas gift, I know I am early, but if I get it started now it may just be finished in time for Christmas! Today, I saw it and bought it - The Bo Bunny Word Book TRAVEL. I had selected several papers from around the store to use, but then I saw it, and it called out to me....the Basic Grey EUPHORIA line! Love it!!

Here it is, the naked board book and the Euphoria papers, coupled with Bazzill bling for what should be a beautiful book!

Basic Grey EUPHORIA papers


Bo Bunny Press Word Book - TRAVEL


And here it is with the papers on it! And now all I need to do is soften the rough edges, paint the edges, produce some mattes, and embellish it - the fun stuff, but a long process! I will post the finished product once I am done.






I finished the Design Team stuff for the Scrapbook Academy for June! I also completed 2 cards but did not take pictures of them, I don't know what I was thinking...

Here are the layouts:


Benjamin
Just moments old, my wee little man. This will be the title page for his baby book.
He is 20 months old and I still have not competed his baby book (Bad mommy!).



This 2 page lay out is a compilation of his 'Firsts' during his first year:





Each mini picture opens to reveal the story behind the photo, and it is a great place to tuck and extra photo or two pertaining to the main picture!













PHOTO DEVELOPING TIP: Have some of your photos printed in wallet size, it is a great way to utilize a lot of pictures on a layout, and a cost-effective way to have a lot of photos printed if you are doing more than one layout or album (Such as a gift for grandparents at Christmas!)





Altered Tin Star

Yet another star for Benjamin's star-themed bedroom!


Monday, June 16, 2008



It's official! I have been accepted on the Design Team at the Scrapbook Academy in Oshawa,ON and I am super excited! This is a new store which has been open for less than a year and we are the inaugural DT.

I just picked up my June DT goodies and ironically, it is the same paper line that was my finale paper at the Scrapbook Emporium (it's a good thing I like the chosen paper line!). The paper is by Bo Bunny, and now to decide what to create with it!

Here is what I have already created with the Bo Bunny line for the Scrapbook Emporium for the March Design Team:



This is a mini-album created about the first running race the boys were in the weekend of the Disney Marathon, January 11th, 2008.

I have to say that I like to print my journaling from the computer, I am trying new things by actually handwriting the journaling here.















Here is an altered picture frame, the pictures are of bringin Benjamin home from the hospital:


Here is an altered wooden star, the star used to hang in my living room when it was more of a country motif.




This is a door hanger for the front door to notify people to stay away 'cuz the baby is sleeping! We received one from the hospital when Benjamin was born and I still use it frequently, Brandon knows when he comes home from daycare that if the sign is on the door he needs to be quiet when he comes into the house, it seems to work very well!
