Jade and Lucas

This is Jade's Grade 11 school picture. She doesn't like it! Duh? She's beautiful. So I didn't have to do much with the page: some sparkly paper and bling and that's it. It has the date on the bottom, so I didn't add the grade. Then there is Spud. When he was little, he was always sick with a pluggy nose, sniffles, sneezes, skin rashes and stuff, so we took him for allergy tests. Luckily it isn't anything serious; but he still reacts at different times of the year. Isn't he cute? He still is. This is another new line of paper MVP - though I can't remember the company name. Love it for boys!

Albert Oling 1926 Finland

Sorry the quality of the picture is so bad, didn't seem that way when I downloaded it. This page was done using our new Graphic 45 collection. I have another one in the works (one I just couldn't get together yesterday. Now I'm glad I waited, these papers are perfect for my heritage pages. This is my father's father and the next page I'm doing is of his sisters Signe and Inez. Lovin' the Line.

Ready, Set, Smile or Not & Peace Out

Some recent snaps of two of my girls. Faith had her hair curled while looking for her grad hairstyle. She loved it, so I snapped a few pictures of her. Her personality definately shines through in this pictures. She is so much fun. We had a blast taking and looking at these pictures. Man, she should be an actress -- but she wants to be a lawyer. Cool! Then Sky triple barrelled her hair for Easter and wanted some pictures, so I took them. Too bad it was outside and dark. In the original pictures you can see her hair; but on this you can't. It really looks nice. This is a typical pose for her. PEACE OUT!!!!

Donna and Jade

My sister Donna was the first child born in my family. Therefore, there are quite a few pictures of her. I have my favorites and am trying to scrapbook them without anyone else on the page so that each of my siblings can one day have their pages (if they want them). This paper is from our new Sassafrass line. Cute huh? I'll do some more with it. The next page is of Jade. We were in Radium Hot Springs I believe and Jade was great at dressing herself. Is she not the cutest thing around? I have more to add to the page. I'll probably do it at the store this weekend. But for now, really the B-Zoo line really does most of the work for you.

Kids

These are both fairly simple pages with some cardstock and new paper. You know how some days you are really creative and other days you are not. Well, with the winter/spring blahs, I seem to be really uncreative. I have been putting quite a few pictures on a page using older pictures. These are two examples. I have been published in the past; but feel that it is almost like another job to research new techniques to do publishable pages. I, however, have so much to do in my life, that scrapbooking is suppose to be my hobby and/or (as I have always said) my therapy. I don't have an endless supply of money, so my pages are on a budget (as I believe is the case for most scrapbookers.) So, take my layouts as they are: from a woman who has four children, two jobs and a single income. Once in awhile I may even surprise both of us and produce a "wow" page. It's nice to do that once in awhile. But, I have decided that I have to be happy with the time I have, the money I have to spend and getting my memories down.

Bikini Summer & You

I posted this earlier and just noticed that I had the same picture twice, so I just redid it. I have been going through old pictures and am enjoying this line of paper because it isn't so bright; but still bright.

Little Blessings Bring Joy to Life

A friend of mine recently announced that she is expecting her first child. So, I made her this card. I know, I don't make many cards; but I like this one. I guess she inspired my card-making creativity.

Celebrate Saskatchewan Winters

I wanted to make sure I had these photographs scrapbooked somewhere. This snowstorm was last years blizzard. I got some really good pictures and have wanted to scrapbook them. It seemed as though any patterned paper didn't work well. So, I used some cardstock, old rub-ons and stickles for the dots.
