Just Married

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all had a great Provincial Holiday & are not too upset about Boston's loss last night!

Today, I'm sharing a layout I created for Canadian Scrapbooker's June Sketchy Challenge. It features a wedding of photo my cousin taken 15 years ago. It's an older photo but a pretty one and since it's their 15th anniversary this year, I thought it would be nice to create a layout featuring it. Hope the very creative staff & readers like it.

Happy St. Jean Baptiste to all Quebecers!

Hello Everyone!

Happy St. Jean Baptiste to all my fellow Quebecers! I hope everyone has a great Provincial Holiday & enjoys the great weather.

I'm off to my sister-in-law's 40th birthday party. It should be lots of fun--food, drinks & a beautiful day.

I'm posting a photo off the card I made for my niece who will be at the party today. It's her 15th birthday on Friday but I won't be seeing her since she'll be in Italy along with 10 members of our immediately family. Wish I was going!

New Discovery

Hello Everyone,

Today, I visited a scrapbook store not too far from where I live that I did not know existed. It's called Art Du Scrapbooking. I first found out about it on Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine's blog, which has a contest currently going on featuring products supplied by this retailer.

 It's a wonderful store full of everything needed for paper projects. Also available are items for jewellery-making. The selection is great, the prices are comparable, the staff friendly and knowledgable. I bought a few things but really had to hold myself back from going crazy. I'll definitely be going back soon and will be recommending it to my friends.

While I'm here, let me show you the Baptism card I created for the celebration I'll be attending tomorrow. I love girly things!

50th Anniversary

Hello Everyone!

I've created a layout featuring a photo taken at my in-laws 50th anniversary. It's in my favourite style--vintage/shabby chic. I've used a pretty shaped paper from KaiserCraft's Porcelain Rose collection.

I'm quite happy with the results.

Family BBQ

Hello Everyone,

I haven't done much crafting in last few days because I've been getting ready for Sunday's Family BBQ. Though I'm used to receiving large groups of family & friends for different occasions, it's always a lot of running around & preparation. I like to decorate & set a pretty table. It gives me great pleasure to host a fun party full of food & drink, surrounded by prettiness!

Meanwhile, I'm posting a photo of a vertical layout that I created for a crop challenge. It was interesting to try something different. It features some fun photos taken at our 15th anniversary--can you guess the theme?

Welcome!

Hello Everyone,

I've completed my banner--Yeah! I'm relieved to have it done & now I can start concentrating on all the details for next week's family bbq. I hope the weather cooperates so we can have everything outside but if not, our new extension will do nicely. I've put up the banner inside for now but I'm hoping to be able to put it outside for the bbq. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Black & White

Hello Everyone,

Today was a prep day. I got started on the 'Welcome Banner' that I want to make for next week's family bbq. I did all the colour co-ordinating & cutting so that hopefully tomorrow I can finish decorating  

& putting everything together. In the meantime, I'm posting a layout that I created for a black & white challenge during the last crop I attended. It features a picture of my younger daughter when she was around 12 years old. She really dislikes how she looks in this photo but I think she looks quite pretty & I'm happy with how the layout turned out.

Happy Birthday Cassandra!

Hello Everyone,

Today I made a birthday card for my niece, Cassandra. Her birthday is on Monday, June 10, but I always make my cards in time to mail them. I think there's nothing more exciting about receiving a pretty envelope with an even prettier card addressed to you on your special day. Sometimes the mail doesn't co-operate and the card gets there a day before or a day after but I know that the recipients

are grateful no matter what. This is my main reason for creating my cards--to give them & make someone feel special.

Keep Crafting!
