Caden & Poppy

While I've been doing some crafting in the past month it has been Christmas gifts so I don't want to show until after the Holidays!!  So after doing some blog hopping I came across a challenge which you can check out here --> thecuttlebugspot.  So I had to go to 5 different blogs to get the challenge recipe.  There was a sketch at this blog sassylilsketches, then scrapfit said you had to use 3 of the same thing.  Next shopcropsuey wanted you to get your hands dirty and scraptiffany said that we had to use lace!  Last but not least the cuttlebugspot said to add texture by embossing!  So here is my entry for this awesome challenge!!  Thanks for stopping by to check it out...cheers! 

My Creative Time - Challange

Here is my layout for this weeks Throwback Thursday with My Creative Stamper.  You can check out the challenge for yourself  here.   For this challenge I used Jasmine cartridge.  It is a font cartridge but I think I only used it once so I thought this would be a good chance to see what I could do with it!  I hope you like :)  I also used a cute stamp of an octopus from Snag' em Stamps!

My Pink Stamper challange!

I saw that Robyn from My Pink Stamper had a color challenge posted.  The colors green, pink, orange, & brown!   And I have had my Mini Monsters cartridge for awhile and this was a perfect opportunity to put it to use!!  So I did a Halloween layout! 

Check out the challenge and enter your submission here!

A surprise visit with my Aunt Pearl!

Well here we are again....another Throwback Challange from Emma at My Creative Time!  As with all of the previous challanges, we are to use an older Cricut cartridge...I don't own the pick for this week, Doodlecharms.  So I picked A Walk in the Garden.  It is one of the first that I bought!  Here is my layout!

I am off to Lilith Fair tomorrow!  It is a 5 hour drive...the concert is on Monday so I am just a tad excited!  I LOVE Sarah McLachlan...and there will be other great artists!  So I was short on time but still managed to get this layout complete.  I love how it turned out!  I have some journeling to add later. 

I used the tulip card cut, which I cut at 11"!  I hope you like, it was fun!

Mom & Me

As far as I know this is the only photo that I have of my Mom and Me alone together.  She passed away 20 years ago so I treasure this.  We both look rather sad here, but I don't remember why.  I added both the orginal and a copy.  I added my journeling behing the larger photo, it opens like a card where I added brads. 

Happy Child

Had alot of fun today and completed 4 pages! Take a look...

Some of the latest creations!

This is the photo box that I started at a scrapbooking class at a local shop but finished at home after my Christmas holidays in my hometown of Stephenville!  There are alot more photos but this is the general idea.  I love it and will have it for a long time to come!
