Scrappers’ Twas the Night before Christmas

This poem originated from Carol Gillespie who did a layout on Scrapbooking.com.   I just love it.  Look here.

Twas the night before Christmas,
I’m glued to the tree.
I’m wondering what Santa brought just for me.
Could it be cardstock or chipboard or lace?
Or a Cricut, I said, with a smile on my face.
And that’s when I [...]

I am so proud so far

My sister in law is taking part in the Ironman in Penticton today.  She did an incredible time for her age bracket in the swim at 1 hr and 21 mins.  I just checked the website and she has completed the bike ride through the mountains to Osoyoos and back which is 112 miles in [...]

A month today

Sheesh, this is becoming annoying.  I have not done one single layout in the past month.  My mojo seems to have flown out the window and never came back.  I have fondled things, reorganized my stuff, looked through the pizza boxes that aren’t emptied yet and even my photos and “nothing”.   This is getting serious [...]

Trying to get in the mood

I may not have scrapped for over 2 weeks now.  I am in a funk and can’t seem to find my mojo.  But I am taking part in a photo challenge on a scrapbooking forum.  Having a blast learning my camera.  I don’t have a great one just a Fujifilm S700 but I am enjoying [...]

Feels good to have a clean scraproom

This is how it starts.  I bought a drawer unit on a whim.  Yikes….I didn’t realize it was going to come in a zagillion pieces.  Thank goodness for a friend helping me out with a power drill……..made the job so much easier. Then I tidied my scraproom and you sure won’t see it this way [...]

Oh beautiful flowers

Some of these are my own and others I just captured today in the neighbourhood.  You can tell which is my new camera and which were from my old one.  Enjoy

Crop and Cruise

Man, there is nothing more that I would love to do is to go on a scrapbooking cruise.  Allison Orthner and others are planning this event for a second time in October 2009.   She is letting everyone know that each of the instructors are having an event prior to the cruise just to warm things [...]

What can be better than starting your day with photos?

My dd and hubby live in Australia with two children.  I miss these grandchildren so much and have not even met Sasha.  My daughter told me that big brother was not being affectionate with his sister but was attempting to keep her sitting up straight….lol.  Just had to share.  Can’t wait to scrap these.

So funny

I know everyone does it ……… you find inspiration almost anywhere for your layouts.  Whether it be sketches, someone else’s layout on a website, magazines or ads from other magazines, or even the pattern on someone’s clothes.  Today I went to the greenhouse with my girlfriend and I found myself admiring this one colour of [...]
