Elton John

If anyone out there has any Elton John tickets for sale, I would love to get my hands on some. I had about 6 people (including myself) trying to get tickets with no luck. Lost out last concert too so I'd really like some help getting my hands on some. If you know of any, let me know. Thanks.

Magic

My mother told me she had to take me to see this cool thing down the street so Jade and I went. She showed us this tree on Ruth Street where this mushroom had grown out of it. She had been walking the dog and found it so neat to see some of nature in such a concrete world. So I took the picture and scrapbooked it. Again, simple and plain; but appropriate. It seemed magical that they could appear without anyone noticing them. They were so white and pure and fun to see.

Take Risks

Lucas has gotten so good on his RipStick. The other night I went outside and got pictures of him skating from one end of the parking lot to the other side and back. I even found out my camera can take 16 pictures one right after the other if he is moving fast. So I put a few of the lines on the page. Starts and arrows seem to be so "in" lately so I put them both on the page. I love the look of total determination on the picture the arrow points to. I am glad that he enjoys doing some things outside and physical along with the nintendo and stuff.

Teen and Good at It

I got this new cell phone and knew Jade could program it with my contacts a lot quicker than I ever could so I asked her to take my contacts out of my old phone and program them into my new phone. She did it for me while talking on her own phone. Three cell phones at once and didn't skip a beat. I never saw life like this with cell phones. But today, as mine is getting fixed and I didn't have one for a few days and have a loaner now, I can't see life without one. Weird. Love the paper and stickers. Really easy page. I even journalled.

Tinkering Around

Some Basic Grey scraps and Yellow Bicycle stickers I had laying around made up this page. I found it difficult to do because it was such bright colors. I need to add some journalling because this was Christmas morning and Lucas and Faith had so much fun making this contraption while everyone's ipod docking stations were playing and I was making bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, coffee and toast.

Hangin'

I love these pictures of Sky sittin'/layin'/sleepin' on Niko. It was after our ride and Sky had already taken his saddle off and was ridin' him bareback. These two were really good friends. I just used some scraps up to make this page. Again, it seems to be my style lately . . . simple but effective.

100% Adorable

Wonderful line of paper. I find that it is so self sufficient that I don't know what else to do with it. I added a few more flowers and rub-ons from the same line. Cute for a little person page. By the way, it was just yesterday that she was that old. Today she is almost 16. Time flies, things change . . . some for the better, some not. Eventhough she is a wonderful teenager, I do miss her as a little girl.

Auntie Sandy

More old pictures. Lots of patterned paper, prima flowers, ribbon and acrylic stamps. I love that this line of patterned paper enables you to use both sides and have them co-ordinate so well. Again, it is amazing to see just how much we have all changed. Sany has longer brown hair, I have short hair and the girls have grown up so much. I was so happy that my girls could meet my cousin. Sandy and I have always gotten along. I would love to be able to sit and chat with her again soon. She has since married and had a son. Life goes by so quickly.

Kisses

Heidi gave me some kisses one day when she was at the store. She is soooooo cute. She is too little to jump on your lap when you kneel on the floor. She has the cutest face ever. So, I used some of my favorite Basic Grey paper because it is probably the only picture I'll ever get with her. I have an appreciation for Pomeranians because my mother had one that was an angel.

Walk In the Park

I have been wanting to scrapbook these pictures for years. I loved the totem pole picture. Sky and Lucas walking hand in hand back home was so cute too. I used Wild Asparagus for most of this layout with some scraps of Basic Grey and old rub-ons. I used some rickrack and Heidi Swapp felt butterflies to decorate.

Important Things In Life

Basic Grey rocks again. It was so wonderful to see that this little frog topped Sky's cell phone in priority when it hopped across our path. Her cell phone rang and rang and rang as she grinned and held on tight all the way home. This line works so well for Walking With Dinosaurs pictures . . . right Penny?

1999 - 2000

I found some old photographs and have begun trying to get some of them on paper. After a few hours, I figured out what year of school this was. The girls were in Grades 1, 3 and 4 at St. Luke School. I decided to scrapbook them together because of the picture of the three of them in the van on the way to school. The pictures in school were very green because of the lights so I scrapbooked in green to take the tones away. Man they grow up quick: they are finishing their Grade 8, 10 and 11 years right now.

Freedom

I love this pattern, always have, always will. Since I got these great shots of Sky and they were such a light color, I had to stick with a lighter background. The flourishes are a Hambly overlay and the bird is a Heidi Swapp. More ribbon and an old rub-on that looked perfect for it. Just one of those pages I like to look at.

One Upon A Time

When I found these pictures, I just had to do the page . . . I do say that a lot don't I? I used some BZoo paper and added the Me and My Big Ideas girl that Deb and Ralna put on the front window of the store. I was happy to see that many of the members we had at the old location, are still members (and great friends) still today. Wonderful memory.

Thankful

I Glimmer Misted the entire background page with the punched scallops. I added some Wild Asparagus scalloped patterned paper and scallops. I added a ribbon onto the entire page and around the colors and scallops. Prima flowers embellished. I also bought a new acrylic stamp which is where I did the journalling on and stamped where leaves could/should be. This was a very important picture. One of the last before my Grandmother died. It was taken at my sister's wedding. It is a very special memory for all of us.

It's a Guy Thing

Enjoyed making this page. Used Basic Grey papers and chipboard. Old rub-on letters helped with the title. Baby rickrack added here and there. I used tons of colors of Glimmer Mist on the chipboard until I was happy with the color. It's a little boy page. I think Lucas and Ty will enjoy it.

Rock On

Lucas on Guitar Hero. He has been working on various songs and has gotten really great. Time for one for his birthday. Thought it was important to get these pictures so he could remember his beginning. Who knows where this kind of video thing will be in the future. We'll probably be laughing about this humble beginnings. I used a lot of left over stuff here. I thought it was kinda lame but I keep on looking at it at the store and kinda like it.
