Nachos

Lucas had the largest plate of food and most expensive meal . . . even the waitress laughed. He picked the jalapenos off and wouldn't use the sour cream. But nachos and coke was the meal of the week for him. Can you tell I love the new line of boys paper ... "bicycle something"? Even with getting a pile of new stock in the store on friday, I got some pages done and up on my blog. Must get some sleep, these weeks get so busy that I can't even check my blog most days. Glad to get something new on here. New Basic Grey should be in soon which I'm sure will inspire all of us.

OMG

Lucas agreed to let me publish this page if I journalled in lime green. Janet, this one's for you! New paper and new stickers. To let you in on the why . . . we have had this horse in our family for awhile and it turns up in the weirdest places and scares the heck out of us. The day Lucas rode it in his boxers, was the day mom took out her camera. Lucas's sense of humor took over from there and "OMG" (Oh my God!). This picture is my desktop for my computer. It puts me in a good mood for the day.

Laughter

Faith and Cal have always had the same sense of humor. I love, love, love this picture. This BZOO paper worked out so well with it because it brings out their blue eyes and smiles. It took nothing but the picture and title to do this page.

1st Drive

I had to get these photographs. Remember driving a vehicle for the first time on city streets? Well, it was fun to go out with Jade and this new BZoo paper worked perfect for it. I cut the top of the little pocket out and put in her temporary learners licence. I found some old chipboard letters and the number one and included them. Then I added a metal "learn" embellishment that was in my stash, some journalling and a bit of some of our new funky holey ribbon.

Jade - Grade 10

All of my children's school pictures turned out really great this year. I still haven't gotten Faith's but continue to ask for it. I used up some older paper for Jade's picture, used the new die cut and a glue pad with acrylic stamps and some wonderful superfine glitter. Pretty, isn't she?

TXT QT

We got this "Text Messaging" paper in at JSI and since I had these photos of Jade with her old phone, it was very easy to get it all together. The "lined notebook" paper and the "texted paper" are reverse sides of a two-sided pattern paper. I even got to use the new bigger crop-a-dile to put on the letters. Cute and quick.

Massage Gone Terribly Wrong

Faith, Mike and I were over at Cal's for supper one night. Faith and Mike stayed for awhile chatting. I don't remember if Faith wanted the massage or Faith. I think they both wanted one which was the problem. They wrestled and giggled and Faith screamed (like she does) and then kicked until they were both out of breath. No one got a massage . . . but everyone was happy being together. Ralna gave me some new paper and I found some matching ribbon in the store. Circles seem to be in my scrapbooking style now and the title was again done on the Cricut. The flowers matched so well, I just went with them. Some of my favorite colors for two of my favorite people.

First Time Skiing

New, new paper, new acrylic stamps . . . fun, fun, fun. The acrylic stamp is the same as the wave in the patterned paper, so I used it on the chipboard letters and then glossy accented it. I did the tab on the top of the journalling block . . . but it wasn't dry before I left work. The tab has glitter on the stamp which I applied glue to. Cool fun, cool beans, however you want to say it. I had fun and so did Lucas and I at Table Mountain his first time on skis. These photos are priceless, forever captured and kept for him. I hope he enjoys skiing in the future as much as I enjoy creating the memories.

Snowboarder

Some new pictures taken during the school break. Jade trying out snowboarding for the first time. I used cardstock for the background, some Tim Holtz ink to "carve" the paper, then some Perfect Pearls to make my "snow" glitter. My journalling is in small statements about the day attached with brads. I love that I have these memories of the kids "firsts" eventhough they are getting older. Wait for the "first" pictures of Jade driving.

Prince Charming

I keep finding these adorable pictures of my children. When we got this froggy paper in, I knew I had to do the page. The green and burgundy frog paper are two-sided, the title was done on the Cri-cut and I glossy accented the froggy eyeballs. Just a fun page.
