I lost 2 months!

At least, that's what it feels like. I have been super busy with my new job, travelling and my new schedule but I have been productive and definitely want to share some of that with you. I promise I will later today.

Its been a good week!

All this time off has given me lots of extra time (between the purging that is) to work on some layouts. Here's what I've created recently. The first one is a picture of Laura I took this summer when we were having a picnic down by the water with the Broharts.

We found some really cool playground equipment at Albert College when I went to Belleville to pick up the girls after their week at grandma and grandpas. This was super cool and the girls loved it!

I know the colours on this are out of whack - the bulk really made it scan bad. This was a picture I took while the girls were having some fun with sparklers in the backyard.

"I can ballet and play hockey, look!"

So grandpa sent the girls some hockey gloves and elbow pads in the mail. They love getting letters and packages in the mail and this was no exception. When they opened it up however, they just didn't know what to do. Laura had to get right on the telephone and let grandpa know she "doesn't play hockey". Jenna on the other hand, just put them on and started 'skating' around the house. Of course, the elbow pads fit her knees better than elbows so that's where they go. After a few laps around the house, she decided to try her dance moves in her new hockey gear - too cute!

A couple additional layouts to share

Some of the layouts I have completed for challenges at the Scrapping Turtle over the lat month. I used the POTM Stix2 PVA glue, foil and glitter for this first layout.

For this one I used the POTM, Bazzill stitch'n cardstock. I placed the bling along the holes in the paper.

October reveal

I had so much fun with the Blackbird line from My Mind's Eye this month. What a fabulously fun line! Here is my reveal for the Scrapping Turtle:

I still had lots of extra pieces so decided to make a few layouts in anticipation of this years haunts. Here they are:

Are they not the cutest little characters??? I don't think I've ever completed a layout before the pictures are even taken - a definite first for me.

My baby is 4!

It is so hard for me to believe but my little girl turned 4 years old today. Breaks my heart! Although, I am so proud of her. She has been doing so well with school so far, no real issues and is coming home daily with all of her work complete. She is so proud to show it all to us.
Here are some pictures of the cupcakes I made for her to take to class. They are little turkeys - just like her!

Halloween sneak

For the month of October I received the fabulous My Mind's Eye Blackbird collection from The Scrapping Turtle. There are so many fun add ons to this line - I just love the 'characters' but you'll have to wait to see what I've done with them. It was the perfect line for me as I finally got to scrap some of my halloween pictures from last year. Here's what I did for the sneak:



I'll be posting the rest of my reveal on the 15th so stay tuned...
