Where Have I Been and Paper Issues!!

2012-02-06T11:59:00.000-07:00

Ok can you say BAD blogger!! I can't even use the excuse I have been super bus. I have been feeling uninspired and unmotivated lately in the scrapbooking department. Hopefully the mojo will be back soon.

Now what have I been up to you might ask... Well we surprised our kids with a trip to Disneyland in January, which was a total blast!! I haven't been there in years and it was way more fun than I remembered, it truly is a magical place.

We were also away for a hockey tournament for our son. Not as much fun as Disneyland but it had its moments like when my boy came second in the goalie skills competition!!! He was thrilled! Way to go little man.

I finally went to my studio and created this layout. It felt good to play with my stuff and get creative. I have posted this over at the Paper Issues blog. The theme is "All we need is love". This is definitely not your traditional valentines but I love it just the same. Stop by Paper Issues and take a look at the amazing projects that have been posted. Very inspiring!! And if you have a project, card or layout that fits this theme link it, we would love to see what you are creating!

I am so loving this color combo these days.

And doillies!

And Washi tape!

Paper Issues is also looking for some new designers! How exciting is that? This is a fabulous team to be apart of, the girls are amazing and wildly talented. Check it out at Paper Issues.

Ok so I promise not to wait so long before my next post! Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.

A Snow Day With Pink Paislee!

2011-12-18T20:42:00.000-07:00

Wow only 7 more days until Christmas and all my shopping is done, that is a record for me. This week I will be wrapping gifts, baking up a storm, decorating gingerbread houses and going to my little man's Christmas concert. So I thought I would give you some happy winter inspiration before my crazy week sets in. For this layout I used Pink Paislee's Snow Day collection. I love the non traditional colors, they make me happy! Because there weren't enough dots already, ha ha, I used some punchanella and white paint along the edges to add some fun texture. Oh and I added a little glitter around the edges, because what's a winter page without a little glitter!

Tim's snow flake die was perfect for this layout! I used a patterned paper from the snow day line and some packing tape to create a packing tape transfer before I cut it with the snow flake die. I also cut a piece of acrylic with the same die and attached it to the front of the patterned paper diecut. I added some moulding paste to the front of the snow flakes and then sprinkled with glass glitter. I love the chunky look of these snow flakes!

More snowflakes and some fun ribbon added along the bottom of the photos completes this layout.

I found this pretty white garland at the dollar store and added some bells and snowflakes.

And a big soft shimmery bow, I love it! Have a great week and enjoy all of the holiday festivities!! Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to stop by.

December Daily Album 2011

2011-12-01T09:33:00.001-07:00

Every year I create an album or project to document our December activities. This year I went with an album that looks like a festive front door! There are so many fun little details in this album. I used Simple Stories Christmas Collection, can I just say, "LOVE IT!"

I filled a cute little bottle with glitter and pom poms. This is one of my favorite parts of the album, so cute!

A place to keep photos of this years tree.

Love the polka dots and the holly is from Tim's new holly die.

And a great page for snowman building! Hope we have snow on the 11th. If not I will just move the dates around.

This little page was created using a hockey card sleeve and will hold 3 wallet sized photos.

Have you created a December Daily project this year? I would love to see what you have come up with. Leave me a link to your project in the comments section.

More She Art

2011-10-28T12:55:00.000-06:00

So I finally created another "She Art" girl. I love how she turned out, much more modern than the last girl. This time I created on a 6 X 12 piece of chipboard instead of a canvas. I am going to frame it in a bright, funky frame.

With this girl I used some fabrics instead of paper for her clothing, I really like the texture it added to this piece. Don't you just love the burlap Uggs?

I still need to add a "She Art" phrase, but I haven't come up with the right one just yet. Hope you have a good weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Doing the Happy Dance!!

2011-09-12T10:32:00.001-06:00

This spring I was surprised with a lovely email from Jennifer Jackson, the Assistant Senior Managing Editor for Stampington and Company, the publisher of somerset studio. Jennifer had come across my blog and loved my "Countdown to Christmas" project, as I read the email, I could hardly believe my eyes, she was asking me if I would submit my project for publication into the Holidays and Celebrations magazine. Are you kidding me, Of Course I would!!! I think at this point I was screeching and doing the happy dance! Somerset magazines, in my opinion, are one of the most beautiful magazines on the market, filled with fabulous mixed media projects created by some very talented artists!! And she was asking me for one of my projects, how thrilling is that!! The 2011 issue was released on September 1 and it is more fabulous than I thought it would be, filled with delightful holiday projects for Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day and Birthdays.

My project has a 5 page spread, YES that is 5 whole pages, Showcasing some of my favorite tags.

And yes I am still doing the happy dance!! Thank you so much for this opportunity Jennifer!!

Surfer Girl

2011-07-17T14:30:00.004-06:00

Ok I don't love Maddie the most but it seems that I am only posting layouts of her lately. You know there is always one child that likes to be in front of the camera and that is her...big time! She is definitely my poser.

I bought two pieces of this patterned paper so I could fussy cut elements and pop them up to create some dimension and movement.

I added some stickles to the waves, love the bling!

What have you been scrapbooking this summer? Leave a comment and a link to your projects, I would love to see them!!

Upcoming 7 Gypsies Flip Album Class

2011-06-28T08:41:00.002-06:00

Ok girls I have a new class for you!! I created this album using the 7 Gypsies photo stand, but instead of just photos I have made it into a flip style album. The theme of my album is childhood, mine to be exact. I have used some of my favorite childhood pictures in this album!

Pin It

Here is a close up of the detail on the cover.

The thing I love the most about this album is that each layout is created on a paper bag! I love the vintage look of album and I think you will too. This class will run on Monday evenings starting July 4 and runs through August 15. The cost of the class is $24.99 per week and that includes the cost of the photo stand. If you would like to join me in creating this beautiful album call The Scrap Yard at 403-271-2225 to book your spot.

Daily Life Challenge at The Inspired Scrapper

2011-05-27T19:55:00.002-06:00

This week's challenge at The Inspired Scrapper is "daily life". I loved this challenge because so many everyday moments are just forgotten in the daily grind. What a great way to preserve memories of life right now! In January our family switched to an i-mac computer, which is equipped with a photo booth app. My Maddie just loves this app and has been taking daily pictures of herself, with a multitude of expressions. Can I just say I think this is hilarious and I love seeing her crazy poses! Here is the layout I created for the challenge.

Pin It

Love the crown and the hilarious expressions!

I didn't have the right colour letters for my title so I sprayed some white glitter thickers with Adorondak spray. I love the colour!

I love scrapbooking the everyday moments, our life is changing so fast these days and I don't want to forget any special memories. Have a great weekend and Happy Memorial Day weekend to all of you in the States!

My Beautiful Life

2011-05-19T09:07:00.002-06:00

I created this not so little 6x12 album using 7 Gypsies Lille collection. Love, love, love how it turned out and I will be filling it with pictures of our everyday life. I taught this album at the Scrap Yard to a group of wonderful ladies!

There is just one more week left in the giveaway, so be sure to become a follower of this blog and leave a comment. I have been cleaning my scrapbook studio and have decided to throw in a bindery punch with the family mini album!! Have a great day.

Teacher Appreciation Card!!

2011-05-16T10:56:00.003-06:00

Look for this this card in the November issue of Scrapbook Trends Cards magazine!

Besides their parents, I think teachers are one of the most influential people in our child's life. So what better way to say thank you than with a card.

I made this card using a file folder cut down to a 6x6 card. By using a piece of KI lace cardstock as a mask, I created a fun numbered background for my card.

For the finishing touch I turned some school themed brads into charms and hung them from the ruler ribbon.

Stylish Blogger Award and A Giveaway!!

2011-05-13T15:45:00.003-06:00

Happy Friday Ladies! The weeks just seem to fly by these days, we are half way through May already...hard to believe. So a few weeks ago Valery awarded me with a "Stylish Blogger Award", can I just say that I was so excited to receive this. Valery was one of the first girls I met at The Scrap Yard , she is such a lovely person and I am glad to call her my friend!

After receiving the award I am supposed to...
Thank the person I received the award from and give a link back to her blog.
Share 8 things about myself.
Pass the award on to other individuals that have amazing and inspirational blogs.
Leave them a comment so that they can pass along the recognition.

Here are 8 things about me you probably don't know!

1. I am originally from California but have been in Canada for 18 years. I miss Cali!
2. I seriously considered attending the California Culinary Academy to become a
pastry chef. I love to bake!! (instead I got married and moved to Canada!)
3. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE scrapbooking and feel fortunate to be able to do something scrapbooky everyday.
4. The only licorice I like is Red Vines. No Twizlers for me...Yuck!
5. Would love to travel around the world.
6. I LOVE the simple things in life. I don't need fancy shmancy.
7. One of my most favorite movies is The Wizard Of Oz. Love that movie, makes me
cry everytime, because truly there is no place like home!
8. I was dianosed with Muscular Dystrophy 7 years ago and it has taken me a long time to come to terms with this. I have finally realized that there is nothing I can do to change this, so I put my big girl panties on everyday and live my life fully with no regrets! Love this saying...She came to terms with what her limitations were and turned them into strengths.

Now, for my nominations for the award. Please be sure to check out their blogs and see some of the amazing scrapbooking/mixed media projects they have done.

Valery I'm Back!!!!

2011-05-09T08:38:00.011-06:00

Ok so I have been absent for about 5 weeks now and my friend Valery has gently reminded me on several occasions that she is tired of seeing the "Sold Out" title. So this ones for you Val!! These last 5 weeks have been a whirlwind of birthdays, classes and just life. So I am back with a very long catch up post!

First up my oldest daughter, Taylor, turned 16! Can you believe I have a 16 year old? I can't, the time has just flown by. She has grown into a lovely young lady, we are very proud of her. My daughter Maddie, the future pastry chef, made her cake. Love how it turned out!

I had a fabulous weekend of scrapbooking with friends! I've never laughed so much, ate so much or scrapbooked until 3 am like we did this weekend! I went to bed with a sore face we laughed so much.
Also had a night out with the hubby! Super fun night full of great company, great food and music.
I was suprised by Valery with a "Stylish Blogger Award". I will be blogging more about this later this week. Thank you Valery!!
I taught this 7 Gypsies receipt tray class to a great group of girls. Everyone loved all of the details on this project.

My Miss Maddie turned 13! Wow two teenagers in the family, it is hard to believe. I made her a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, it was delish. I love the tulle from a package on her head, reminds me of the 80's. She is such a joy to have, always bright and lovely and ready for fun! Love her.
I also taught "My Beautiful Life" 7 Gypsies mini album to a wonderful group of ladies. This was a 2 part class which finished up last friday.

And my lovely assistant, Valery!
Finally, I will leave you with this card I created from scraps and a fun Nabob coupon that I found at a vintage store in Nanton.
I will be back later this week with a new post about the blogger award, new projects and a GIVEAWAY!!!! So be sure to check back this weekend!! Thanks for stopping by today.

My Little Hockey All Star!

2011-03-07T09:41:00.003-07:00

March has finally arrived which means two things spring is just around the corner and hockey season is coming to a close. The spring thing is a sore subject with me as I have heard we are in for 3 more months of cold weather...... Disgusting!! I am however sad to see hockey season end. Our little guy has improved so much this year and he is such a joy to watch! This year we have been blessed with a great group of parents, coaches and kids on our team, which has made it a pleasure to participate in. One parent in particular has shared his talent of photography with us and I have appreciated it emmensely. Thank you Keith for capturing the memories!

Of course I had to scrapbook these fabulous photos. I created this layout using a sketch from Sketch Support. I used sketch #8.

Theresa Collins' new sports line was perfect for this layout.

All About Me Challenge

2011-02-18T15:56:00.002-07:00

Today's challenge at The Inspired Scrapper is "All About Me". For me, this challenge was tough. Being the family Photographer, I don't have many pictures of me, so I don't often scrapbook myself and it is just awkward to focus on me. Creating this layout I realized that I do need to get in front of the camera more and document my feelings and thoughts.

This lovely photo was actually taken by my 12 year old daughter, Madison. I used the newly released "For the Record" by Echo Park and I Love, love, love it!! Stop by The Inspired Scrapper to see what other design team members have come up with!!

Happy Valentines Day!!

2011-02-14T14:03:00.006-07:00

I created this layout for my saturday evening crop at The Scrap Yard! I used lots of paint and spray on this one to create the background. I love the fun masking tape banner!
And a sneak peak of the layout "My Everyday Valentine" that I will be teaching, Thursday, February 17 at The Scrap Yard.
Have a great "Love Day"!!

Sharing a Little Love!

2011-02-07T10:43:00.002-07:00

With Valentines Day just around the corner I thought I would share a card I created for the Inspired Scrapper's love challenge. On this card I used an old heart shaped doily, from my stash, the new 7 Gypsies 97% complete "Always" stickers as well as some heart stick pins from My Little Yellow Bicycle.

We woke up to a TON of snow today so we are having a snow day today with lots of baking and crafting! Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.

AloHa aNd HapPy NeW yEaR!!

2011-01-16T17:47:00.008-07:00

Happy New Year Everyone!! I have just returned from three weeks in Hawaii, so it is taking a while to get back to a "real life" schedule, if you know what I mean. Also, we have changed from a PC to a Mac and it has been a little bit of a learning curve. I am hoping to have some new inspiration posted this week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for stopping by.

2010-12-10T11:55:00.003-07:00

This weeks challenge at The Inspired Scrapper is Winter fun and Frolic. If you know me you know, being from California, I do not enjoy Canadian winters. But over the years I have come to enjoy some winter activities. I have created a layout showcasing one of our favorite winter activities. Be sure to stop by The inspiried Scrapper for more winter inspiration!

Next is a Halloween layout I created for a class I taught in November. I loved using The Girl's Paperie Toil and Trouble line.

I printed my title on sticky back canvas and created this adorable banner.

Last week I submitted this "About A Boy" layout to Fancy Pants' Fancy Friday Challenge on Facebook and look who won!!!! I was so excited to see my layout as one of the top two winners. Thank you Fancy Pants!

You can check out all of the winners on Facebook or the Fancy Pants blog. Congrats to all of the winners!

About A Boy

2010-09-27T10:27:00.003-06:00

I love this picture of my boy and have been waiting for the perfect paper to create with. Fancy Pants' Like Father Like Son line is the perfect paper for this layout! I have used lots of textures on this page, painting, inking rubons, my favorite cardboard and a new technique, melting tyvek. This new technique of melting Tyvek was introduced to my by Lynn Thune a very talented and inspirational scrapbooker! She is always pushing the limits of scrapbooking and inspires all who know her to do the same, I love it!

I used a combination of stamping with paint and ink as well as applying rubons to the edge of my photo to add texture and an urban grunge looke to my page.

Have a great scrappy day and thanks for stopping by!

Isn't She Lovely

2010-09-16T10:58:00.007-06:00

Well yes she is, as well as funny, smart and beautiful inside and out. She's my girl and I Love, Love, Love her. This girl of mine is definately not a girly girl so seeing her all dolled up was a treat! I created this layout using pictures taken just before her grade nine grad in June.

I love all of the lumpy bumpy details on this page. The handmade rose and tarnished heart from an old piece of jewelry has given this page a vintage flair.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you to create something today!

Back To School!

2010-09-02T11:06:00.008-06:00

Wow summer is officially over and the kids are back to school! This is always an exciting time, heading back to school to see old friends, meet new ones and find out who your teacher will be. My kids have all settled in nicely and are ready to see what great adventures this new school year holds! I on the other hand am excited about all the scrapbooking time I will have during the day!

The challenge at The Inspired Scrapper this week is to create a "back to school" layout or project. Chriss has posted a fabulous idea for jazzing up school supplies, I love it! We would love to see what you create with the back to school theme, just link your project up via Mister Linky.

Have a great week!

2010-07-22T13:48:00.009-06:00

Wow it has been over a month since my last post, and a lot has happened in that short time. I spent the day with the gypsy girls Deb and Paula, you will never meet two nicer or more talented girls! Love them!! Thanks girls for such a great day.

We went to California to visit family and friends and had an absolute fabulous time! Lots of new photos to be scrapbooked!

Now that we are home I have been enjoying the slower pace of summer, it has really been good to get the creative mojo going!

I designed this card for the Inspired Scrapper. I was challenged to use an etsy store product as my inspiration.

I created these two layouts using The Girls Paperie for my 5-A-Lous class in June at The Scrap Yard. This is such happy paper.

Here is a sneak peak of my 5-A-Lous class for July. This month I used the Queen Bee line by Pink Paislee. I will be teaching this class at The Scrap Yard on Monday July 26 @ 6pm and Thursday July 29 @ 10:30 am.

I am working on a new little treasure box that I will be teaching in August. Look for sneak peaks in the coming week.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you to create something today!

Pink Paislee Shadow Box Book

2010-06-09T08:58:00.003-06:00

The photo I used is one of my all time favorites, it is my me at age 3 with my Aunt Mary. Don't you just love the hairdoo, so 60's! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

My New Journey

2010-05-31T08:53:00.012-06:00

I have been overwhelmed, but feeling very blessed, by the amount of emails and phone calls I have received since announcing my resignation. I didn't realize how my teaching touched so many lives over the last five years. Some may think scrapbooking is just a hobby, but for me it is so much more. It's building friendships, sharing inspiration and most of all it is sharing our love of this great craft we call scrapbooking! I would like to thank each and everyone of you for sharing your stories with me, I am a better person for knowing you.

Many of you have voiced your concern over not being able to take anymore "Susan Classes", but not to worry, I will be teaching a full schedule of classes and crops at The Scrap Yard!!

I have many classes scheduled throughout June and a crop on June 19! To sign up you can call The Scrap Yard at 403-271-2225.

This is the beginning of a great new creative journey that I hope you will share with me.

Happy National Scrapook Day!!!

2010-05-01T13:39:00.006-06:00

Wow a whole day dedicated to us scrapbookers! I hope you are scrapbooking your little hearts out today. I am so happy I found this little hobby 15 years ago, little did I know that it would end up being such a huge part of my life. Through the years I have met and learned from so many fabulous women and I am grateful.

Another great challenge going on at the Inspired Scrapper ! This weeks challenge was to use this photo as a color inspiration.

This is the layout I created using the color inspiration. I chose to hide the journaling under the photo. Hop on over to the inspired scrapper today where you can get to know our current design team, win some prizes, and read about our curren design team call!!!! Have a super scrapbook weekend!

2010-04-15T18:23:00.003-06:00

A Day At The Park

2010-04-10T15:28:00.005-06:00

Enjoy this beautiful weekend!

Inspired Scrapper Scraplift Challenge

2010-04-09T22:05:00.004-06:00

This week my challenge at The Inspired Scrapper was to scraplift a layout! Scraplifting, we all do it at some time or another. Sometimes you just need that inspiration from a fellow scrapbooker or magazine. I loved that challenge and knew right away what layout I wanted to lift, I chose a layout from the very talented Kimmithy Achord called "blow me a kiss".

Here is Kimmithy's layout.

And this is the layout I created.

To see more of kimmithy's work visit her blog. The scraplift challenge is open to everyone, so we would love to see what scraplift you come up with this month.

Spring Fever!

2010-03-12T13:02:00.004-07:00

Can you even believe this weather, I am lovin it! It is hard to concentrate when all I can think about is spending the day out in this gorgeous weather. I have been working hard on upcoming classes that I can show just a bit later. I have also created a new class that will be offered at Scrapbooker's Bliss called Take 5 with Susan. I will be selecting 5 new products from one scrapbook line and we will create 2 fabulous 12x12 layouts. This month I have selected products from Anna Griffin that you will love.

Over at The Inspired Scrapper I was challenged to create a layout using style/colour trends for this spring. This is the layout I created.

I will be back soon with some sneak peaks of my upcoming classes!

A Few Projects And A Giveaway!!

2010-02-16T16:18:00.006-07:00

I have been working on a lot of projects lately and haven't had a chance to post them....what a bad blogger! This first layout is a friend of mine and her husband, they were married last summer and I love this photo of them. I used my little yellow bicycle's valentine line from last year, I just love this paper it's modern but elegant.

This is a mini album I made from My Minds Eye Be Loved line. I created this little album to look like a love letter. I love how it turned out!

Scrapperie Scraplift Challenge!

2010-01-30T13:13:00.003-07:00

The other day I noticed some traffic arriving on my blog via The Scrapperie, so I had to check out this site I hadn't heard of. To my surprise this is what I found http://scrapperie.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13790! They used one of my layouts as a scraplift challenge. I am very flattered, thank you girls you made my day and I love the layouts you created!

Goals for 2010 Layout

2010-01-21T14:21:00.006-07:00

Wow two posts in one day! I really wanted to set some goals this year and to document it I created this layout. I am not one to set goals or resolutions at least not any that last longer than about a month. I thought maybe if I documented the goals I wanted to meet it would be more concrete. We will see how this goes.

I used 7 Gypsies flocked paper. I love this stuff and the color is beautiful. I used the envelope to store my goals for this year. Maybe at the end of 2010 I will have to create another layout documenting which goals I have actually reached! Have you set any goals for yourself this year? How do you document the goals you want to meet?

Snow Much Fun!

2010-01-21T09:12:00.003-07:00

I wanted to share this layout that I created with the Fancy Pants Christmas line. I love these pictures of my kiddos sledding! I think that has to be one of their favorite winter activities and I enjoy capturing their excited little faces as they come down the hill.

I did lots of fussy cutting on those delicate snowflakes....yes it was tedious but I like how they turned out. And of course I had to use stickles on them, you know how I love the stickles!

I am working on a few projects that I will be posting soon! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day.

Creative Scrappers Sketch #86

2010-01-11T18:36:00.005-07:00

Well this is my last sketch for Creative Scrappers as my design team term is finished. I loved my time at Creative Scrappers, working with wonderful yet sometimes challenging sketches. I am off to find a new adventure in this great big world of scrapbooking! I can't wait to see what comes up next.

Sketch 86

My layout

I used a transparency overlay from Fancy Pants over my patterned paper. I really like the way this layout turned out especially all the different textures!

Happy New Year!

2010-01-01T12:00:00.003-07:00

I can't believe it is 2010! January is a time of new beginnings as well as a time of reflection on the past year. Each year I create a layout showcasing pictures that summarize the great memories from the previous year. This is the layout I created for 2009.

I would like to thank you for visiting my blog and for all the sweet comments. I wish you all a Happy New Year full of good health, new adventures and new memories to scrapbook!

Snow Much Fun Today!

2009-12-28T16:02:00.007-07:00

We did a little sledding today, the kids had a blast. On our way home we found a frozen pond in our neighborhood that had been cleared off for skating, so we went home to get the skates!

What a great day to be out enjoying winter time fun! Now I am off to scrapbook the great photos I took today.

Creative Scrappers - Sketch #84

Another Great Gift Idea

2009-12-20T14:50:00.004-07:00

I am always looking for creative packaging for my gifts. I designed this card/gift holder out of a 6 x 9 1/2" envelope that can be purchased at any office supply store. I love it because it can hold a cd, gift cards or even a family photo.

There is also space to write your Christmas sentiment. I have posted this project on The Inspired Scrappers blog with instructions.

Good Things Come In Small Packages!

2009-12-18T08:41:00.004-07:00

We are celebrating the 12 days of Christmas over at The Inspired Scrapper. Everyday there are new gift ideas being posted. I posted this cute little gift box yesterday along with instructions.

A Christmas Treasure

2009-12-04T14:31:00.016-07:00

Last year I made a 25 days of December mini album, which I was thrilled with. But with all the business of the season, taking a picture everyday for this album was a lot of pressure to me. This year I have made a little album that I can fill with my favorite holiday pictures and not worry about documenting everyday of the Christmas season. The base of this album is made with 7 Gypsies naked paper bags and creme card stock. I used lots of 7 Gypsies products as well as some vintage appliques that were given to me by my Mother in Law, when she cleaned out her quilting stash. I love these little appliques and I have been saving them for just the right project and here it is.

I used a Starbucks cup cover as a banner.

The pages made out of 7 Gypsies naked paper bags will hold tags for journaling and additional pictures. I gave the edges of my pages a distressed look by using adhesive and applying 7 Gypsies rubbings in silver and gold. I also added some beads to add dimension.

I loved making this little treasure to hold our holiday memories for 2009.

Creative Scrappers Sketch # 80

2009-11-29T09:04:00.003-07:00

It's reveal time again for Creative Scrappers. This is the sketch we were given.

And this is what I created. Lots of Stickles on this one, I just love the bling!

A Little Saturday Inspiration

2009-11-28T12:27:00.004-07:00

How about a little inspiration to get you through the weekend! I made this little 7 Gypsies envelope album using my scraps. It was quick and easy not to mention how adorable it turned out. This would make the perfect stocking stuffer for Christmas!

I even used the tag off the 7 Gypsies gaffer tape to create this cute little tag hanging on the album.

Only 27 more days until Christmas and so many projects to be done!

A Weekend to Unwind

2009-11-09T10:05:00.001-07:00

I had the chance to take a great class with Trisha Ladouceur on Saturday at A Weekend To Unwind event at Sheepriver Scrapbook Co. in Okotoks! This class was filled with lots of fun techniques and I ended up with this adorable wall hanging!

As you can see I need to add a photo, but I love the way it turned out!

I just love this photo of my husband and miss maddie. They both love the turkey leg, I think it is their favorite part of Thanksgiving.

Sneak Peak

2009-10-14T11:58:00.000-06:00

I woke up this morning to more snow!!!!! Arg it is only October. It is supposed to be warm this weekend and hopefully this snow will all dissappear. I guess you can take the girl out of California but you can't take the California out of the girl.

On to better things...I will be teaching this little jewel at Scrapbooker's Bliss on Thursday evening. This album is made from the 7Gypsies envelope album but it is hard to tell because I have altered the envelopes. Some of the envelopes aren't envelopes anymore....they are much better than envelopes!

Our Family Treasures a Vintage Album

2009-10-07T19:45:00.000-06:00

This little cutie was a class I taught a while back and never posted, Shame on me! I cut this album out of chipboard and used yummy My Minds Eye papers.

Home Is Where Your Story Begins

2009-10-07T09:00:00.000-06:00

I love the way this layout turned out. I used lots of distress ink and texture, some sewing and hand made flowers and wala there you have it...a total Susan page! For those of you who have taken my classes know that these are some of my favorite things.

So Blessed To Have Each Other

2009-10-03T08:14:00.000-06:00

A layout of my girls laughing together. Which I might add is rare these days. The whole girl thing drives me crazy some days. I hope that one day they will realize how lucky they are to have each other, until then I have these occasional glimpses of friendship between the two of them.

I will be teaching this cute little make and take at the Scrap 4 Kids kickoff crop on October 17. For more information on this event go to scrap4kids.org.

Live, Love, Laugh and Create!
