National Scrapbooking Day

Oh what fun we had for National Scrapbooking Day. My favourite store, Marchant's Paper Memories, had a huge celebration crop. It was so much fun. I did five complete pages. That's huge for me.With the help of a few other tutorials from my favourite bloggers I was able to show off my talent. LOL The lacing on the first page and the heart one the last page were from http://mymomentsoftranquility.blogspot.com. Just follow the tutorial links. The flowers on the last page were once again from http://gabriellepollacco.blogspot.com. I love to make my own flowers and embellishments. Thank you ladies for your tutorials.

Spring Card Exchange

I'm so excited about the card exchange at my favourite Scrapbooking store. It's not until April 30 but I have my 20 cards finished already. I can't wait to find out what all the others have done. It's always so much fun to be with other people who have the same interests as you.

Well I finished it. I made the flowers from a tutorial I saw on http://www.gabriellepollacco.blogspot.com/

I love her layouts. I had a great time making these flower as I find it more creative to make embellishments then to use ready made ones.

It's a cold a dreary day here in Kingston. So it's a good day to try something new. So I found a tutorial on making my own flowers. It's a water distress method. I'm having a wonderful time making these flowers for a glimmer mist page for my Mom. I have even used my Silhouette finally. I will have to get more time in with this machine, it does so much. Thank you to Gabrielle Pollacco for the tutorial... Have a great day where ever you are..

Had a wonderful time today at Marchant's Paper Memories. We had our annual Christmas Card Exchange today. It was great and I came home with 20 wonderful cards. Then in the afternoon we had our monthly two page layout. It turned out fabulous. I love Basic Grey !!!!

I'm on Vacation!!!!

Yeah!!!! Vacation time is so much fun... I'm just sitting back and relaxing. This will be day 4 of this wonderful time of year. My friend Angie and I have taken our vacation time together for the last two years. This year we waited until this time of year hoping that the weather would be much cooler. So far that has not been the case. Once again it's hot and humid today. I think I will have to turn the air conditioning back on. I did not sleep well. Waking up a couple of times soaked in sweat
Wonder what we will get up too today? I think it's market day downtown. Then off to check out a little shop we can across , Mug and Truffle a chocolate cafe.. I'm all for chocolate.
Trying to decide what cards to make for our annual Card Exchange at Marchant's Paper Memories. I'm hoping the stamps I want will be in on time this year. I am also going to make some cards to send to Afghanistan for our troops to send home to their families. For what they are doing for us it's the least I can do for them.

I think that's it for today. I'll see you all tomorrow... Hopefully add some pictures of my downtown expedition LOL
