I feel a bit bad that I haven't blogged lately. I have been working on a class and doing some other pages that take some time...drying time. Soon though, I will have some pages up. I have been taking some time with my kids to do summer things. I even remembered to take my camera the other day to BareButt Beach. It really is a nice place...if you don't think about the name much. Well, not sure what to do today. Seems like the perfect day for a bike ride...oh, ya, though that won't be happening. Someone decided they needed my bike more than I did and stole it out of my backyard. What really rips me off is that it isn't worth anything of value...it just meant time for me to spend with my son going for rides together. Unfortunately, I really can't afford a new one. Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays. I'll hold down the fort here in Saskatoon. I should mention a big thank you to my daughter Faith. She is lending me her Twilight books to read over the summer. That should keep me busy.

Okay, so I think I'm about done Rhea and Mike's Wedding pages. Since I have some free time to play at work, I have been doing "the dirty". I promised myself that I wouldn't get into Glimmer Mist and Tim Holtz's Color Washes. Whooops! They just look so good on Faith's Grad pages and then the craze spread onto most of my other pages. The problem is, that it takes awhile to dry . . . and since I don't have the patience to work with them with plastic gloves on, my fingers always look like my other job is as a mechanic -- stained fingers etc. But, it's so much fun and the colors are amazing!!! Oh well, we'll see what I get accomplished during the summer. Maybe since I'm not so busy, I can find my creative side again. I hope you all have a safe and relaxing summer.

Dance

I was so excited to do this page. I love this picture because it really captures who Faith is. She is a carefree spirit who loves to have fun. I love scrapbooking these colors. I am even really beginning to enjoy the glimmer mist. This is how it looked when I left the store today. We'll see what I do to it tomorrow. It has been a fun week working more at Just Scrap It this week. I've been getting creative again.

Bridesmaids and Groomsmen

I used some stickles, rub-ons, scalloped die, lace, more rub-ons and bling on this page.

Love Story

Family of the Groom

I wanted this to be a fun page so I added the gerbera daisies. I used the "Kristy" letters for the title. I explained the game on a tag which is tucked under the pictures.

1st dance

I added a rubber stamp on the corner, some flowers and stickles, stickles, stickles.

I love this picture of Faith. I really enjoyed taking these pictures. She looked so wonderful it is so easy to scrapbook these pictures.

I have had these embellishments for awhile and have been waiting to use them. But the background green and the embellishments green were different. I felt that you couldn't see the silver "Class of 2009" so I added stickles. It works for the official grad photo.

My Love

I have saved this paper for the wedding and these pictures worked so well with it. I added some ribbon and that was about it.

Family of the Bride and Groom

So, what I cut out of one page, I used on the other. The same . . . but different. Used the same vellum sayings.

Toasts

You can't tell from the picture; but the flourish and title are glimmer misted. I think the journalling and I was thinking some bling would finish this page. I'm getting there Rhea and Mike. Your album is my summer project.

Take My Hand

Well Rhea, as you can see, you will need to do some journalling on these pages. I've done the basics and will probably put a few more embellishments on most of them; but it is up to you to write your memories on the pages. You go girl...I know you can do it.

The Reception

Together

Well, I added a little title.

Aftergrad

This was drawn at Faith and Mike's aftergrad. I thought the lady that did it, did a great job. This was one picture I had to keep because it looks so much like Faith and Mike. With the B-Zoo line, the page was easy. Just had to add a title, bracket, some white paint and it was done. Even Faith said that the paper was perfect.

You Don't Marry . . .

Another Wheeler Wedding page. I liked that I could scrapbook a page without the oranges that I have been using. Love this page. May have to add to it yet; but I liked it. Think it needs a title. Any ideas ladies?

Wedding

Okay, with the clearness of the day, I have suddenly realized how to do this. Maybe I needed some sleep. Mind you that's all I have been doing since school let out. That and eat. Man, if the weather would improve, I could go for a walk or bikeride. Anyhow, here goes another try at blogging these pages worthily (if that's a word)?

Our Wedding

Well, while I won't do all of the wedding pictures, I have a handle on quite a few of them now. I had to find all of them and figure out what I had done. I have been so awful, not getting this album done sooner. But with my school year the way it was, it is amazing that I got anything accomplished. So, as I have already said, it is my vision to have all of this wedding album done before the end of the summer. Or . . . who knows when it will get done.

Family of the Bride

I had Jade take some pictures for me so I could blog some pages. This one she took as two separate pictures, so you don't really get the best view; but at least it is here. Now I finally feel as if I got something accomplished . . . you should have seen these blogs yesterday . . . yucky!!

My Life My Love

I was so happy to get a picture of all of my children. They truly are what I live for and I love. I really enjoyed doing this page. The paper was wonderful. I added some lettering that were glossy accented, some lace and some flowers. I added a quote that seemed appropriate.
