What a crazy week it’s been. End of May is always nutty with Emma Sian’s dancing. The show that her studio puts on is very professional & quite impressive, but it takes a toll with long dress rehearsals. She was ONLY in 3 dances (compared with other families with 3 girls & [...]

Oh my Krisitina Werner’s Colour Inspiration time, yeah! Looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with. So many fun ideas!
Her inspiration came from these fun summery tossed pillows from Pottery Barn:
The S.U. Colours that were pulled from this image were:
I used PP from Chatter Box, Scrapbook walls, 2 sided Light Den Stripe, [...]
Street Hockey
Posted in Family, tagged Family, Photoshop, Scrappin' on May 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
These pics were taken earlier this month, just after Malcolm got his new Street Skates. It’s funny, I remember hearing somewhere that Street Hockey was against the local bi-law code, but fortunately, none of our neighbours seem to mind, infact, just about everybody plays. Someone is even filling in the Zamboni roll, sweeping [...]
Chasing Bunnies in the Burbs …
Posted in Family, tagged Family on May 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The burbs of Ottawa have been over run by bunnies, cute, and rather bold rabbits. Between the rediculous snowfall damage this past winter & the bunnies chewing on bark, folliage, copious amounts of weed-filled bunny droppings and well whatever, the yards all took a heavy hit. These rabbits have access to all kinds [...]

KiymiKrafts, (Jenn) had a fun challenge to use crayons somehow, anyhow on a card. Mull, mull, mull. Let’s try making a seal. (not sure how clear it is, but it’s suppose to be an intertwined M & A)
I suppose I should have read this Martha Stewart article on Melting crayons BEFORE I [...]
To Describe Dad …

Here’s a scrapbook layout dedicated to my DH, and wonderful father to 3 adoring children. I used a masking technique with “Vintage Alpha Stax” stickers from ColorBox It’s hard to describe him in just a few adjectives.
I used the S.U. Spritzer with Earth Elements Markers, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, and Not [...]
Gift Card Holder

I saw a video tutorial on Dawn Griffin’s website, for how to make these clever little gift card holders. I pretty much went by what she did, just adding ribbon instead of a band. I didn’t have a “word window” s.u. punch, so I used the square coluzzle intead with the 3/4″ round [...]

Here is a challenge from Beate, BiC14 uses
I love challenges that give you a guideline, rather than a specific layout. Beate’s Inspiration Challenge was open to interpretation and there are so many different ideas that could be pulled from the image below. I used the circle card & punched circles for scallops courtesy of [...]
Feed the birds …

This is the second time we’ve filled the feeder. Normally I see butterflies or humming birds, but I wasn’t really around on the weekend & it was empty come Monday.
I prefer the hummingbird feeder to our traditional seed feeder (sorry finches!). Although you have to keep it meticulously clean as [...]
Victoria Day Weekend?

There’s a picture of my tulips from the backyard and normally on the long weekend, I do a bit of planting & tidy up & then we, as a family, find some fun stuff to do & generally flake out.
This year was a bit different. I had signed up for a two day ‘crash’ [...]
