Wow, it's January 2nd, and this is my SECOND blog post of the year....look out!  I'm on fire! lol My ONLY complaint with Fancy Pants is regarding their alphas.  I LOVE this Winterland line, BUT they give you so few e's.  I really wanted to use the word SkatE, or icE, or even HockEy in the title for this one, but I had no E's left! lol Hence the title, Outdoor Rink...see, no e's! These

It's hard to believe that 2011 is gone, and we're now in 2012!! I hope everyone had an Awesome Christmas, and some fun with New Years Celebrations as well. Now, since it's officially January, I can share some of my Design work for The Srapping Nook! I was so lucky to get the Fancy Pants Winterland line to work with this month, and I have completed at least 5 layouts so far with it! :0)

I have been collecting some more Tim Holtz stuff over the holidays.  I can't stop playing with the stuff! Sorry for the lousy colour on all of these.  But tonight was my chance to upload, and I wanted to get them done. This one is using a few different stamp sets, the Tim Holtz banners, and the rose is from his new pinecone die. That little tiny dress from charm, is the mini sewing

Tim Holtz Gave to me.... (Be ever so glad that you can't actually hear me singing...) Another tag I couldn't hope to re-create! But i tried anyway.  I was in lack of all 4 dies he used. I didn't have the fragmented doll figurine, or the most incredible new tissue.  I SERIOUSLY need to get my paws on that ASAP!!! And I didn't have the stamp he used for background either..and no

Tim Holtz gave to me.... A tag i couldn't even hope to reproduce. lol I can't find my shrink plastic, I killed my Ranger heat gun, and I'm sad...even moreso becuase there is only ONE TAG LEFT!  Sigh. Okay, enough whining.  Here's what I came up with. I don't have these stamps.  again. I can't find the shrink plastic, and I'm using a hot glue melting pot as a UTEE melting pot..and

Tim Holtz gave to me.... Another Wickedly Awesome tag! I LOVE this technique of making the 'mercury glass' ornaments with the tape transfer  technique, and his gorgeous facets.  This could easily be done with fragments too! In the absence of his alpha parts, I used an old metal sticker that says "Joy" and painted it black, sanded to distress, rubbed with walnut stain, and heat

Tim's amazing day 9 tag. I can't find this evergreen die to save my life, BUT I did get my painty little paws on the Halloween Candlelight fright die!!  My background tags, just messing around with his awesome rusted enamel technique Okay, I do believe these two are my favourite....the one on the right being my very most favourite.  I didn't have an alpha I loved for these, so I

These are the tags I made... Day 7I'm not in love with this one.  How I wish I had his holly die, (I freehand drew my holly and scissor cut them out), and his stamps for this.  I made do with a very very old SU! Crackle background stamp..which I have always loved, but for this tag, his 'jack frost' stamp as I call it rocks!  I also improvised with the sentiment, and infact used this one that my

I have been keeping up with the tags...just not the blogging. Day 4  I love love love Tim's incredible tag for day 4 and i actually had most of the stuff for it.  I didn't have his distress stains in blues though...or picket fence.  So this is how I did the background. I smooshed a few bluey coloiur on my craft sheet and then added a few pounces of snow cap paint dauber on there. THEN

Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas are something I look forward to every year. I actually get up before 6am and get to work right away the first 12 days in December to play along with Tim!  I've had blogging issues, but I finally figured a way around my problems, so I can share my tags! Day One first attempt.  I used a Maya Road keyboard chain for the sentiment, but I didn't like all the

I'm still playing Catch up! My gorgeous kit for June was Teresa Collins, Timeless. It's soft and pretty, and was so much fun to play with! My daughter at almost one year old, and her Great Aunt Sylvia...who she got her middle name from .  :0) An attempt at a more masculine one with this girly kit.  I used Snow storm Shimmerz Vibes to splatter across the black.  I like how well the splatters

Wow!! How did I get THIS behind??? lol My DT kit for May from The Scrapping Nook was from The Girls Paperie...Kitch! I LOVED this collection, it's bright, yet soft. I had so much fun playing with it, and I still have some scraps that will find their way to cards yet!

There are only a few kits still available in The Nook Store!! Definately check out Jennifer's Blog later this week.  She has done some INCREDIBLE layouts  and cards with this kit, and I'm sure she'll be sharing them there!  You can also pop into the Nook Gallery for some inspiration! This one shows off the new Marianne Creatables Morocco birdcage, bird of paradise, and the foliage from the frame

Okay, this past week was the April Crop at THE NOOK and I actually SCRAPPED...and not JUST with DT kit's either!!  I have found that I can't leave a kit until I feel like I've used every last scrap and this past weekend I forced myself to play with stuff OTHER than kit stuff!! :0) It felt good to scrap with stash, and some new stuff from SCRAPFEST, which was even better AGAIN this year than it

The Nook kit for March 2011 is Bo Bunny Vicki B line! This is a kit jam packed with awesomeness. You get loads of CS, so much pretty paper, and lots of stickers to coordinate, even the Bo Bunny buttons (stunning!) and if That's not enough, the BO BUNNY VICKI B STAMPS!!! Definately worth the $30, run to the Nook now to see if they have any left...I think there were 4 last time I looked. I've

This is one of three layouts I did for The Scrapping Nook for February!  I was sent "The Proper Gentleman" by Graphic 45.  Love love love this line, and as you can see it doesn't have to be masculine.  I'm having some internet issues, so rather than lose the whole post, I'll cut my losses and be back later with the other 2 layouts. lolFor now this is the sneak of February.

This is based on the January 2011 sketch from the SBC calendar. Phtotos were taken in 2008 when we made a very long road trip home from Sault Ste. Marie...with a screaming Sarah. She literally screamed the whole ride home.  It was horrendous.

I picked up some Merry January paper at The Scrapping Nook last month, and I've been having so much fun playing with them! My baby Brewster.  Don't know what I'd do without him, he's my sanity a lot of days. lolLove his snowy snout when he's been out playing! I got together with some of my friends from highschool this past Christmas!  I haven't seen these girls since we graduated back in 1996.

Happy New year! I have so much catching up to do, but I think I'm finally getting my feet under me, after our flood, basement renos, back to school (with some volunteering this year!), some sickies, and Christmas...it doesn't sound like much, but I've been hopping. Tomorrow I will have a bunch of 2010 DT stuff up from the Nook, to finish off that year. lol Hopefully on the 7th, I'll spread some

Day 8 I didn't have his seasonal masks, so I used my labels die and his mask sheets to cut my own, and this is what I did with it. Day 9I love this one. Mine is off from Tim's but I tend to take a good look at his, head down to my 'studio' and just work from memory.  I also didn't have the alpha die, so I used a set of my QK squeeze alphas.   Also the acoutrements are just some random buttons

Here it is!I loved this tag, and I hope to make a few more!  I think I'll use a ready to go Pointsettia though for my duplicates, as I don't have the sticky back canvas, and this was a lot of extra gluing and cutting. lolI can't get my pointsettia to look like Tim's but for a first shot at it, I'm happy with the result.

My whole life, my Dad has made me things with wood.  When I was a little girl, he made me my first tiny hopechest, and a beautiful cradle for my baby dolls.  When I turned 16 he made me a big beautiful Hopechest, fully lined with Cedar.  When I moved away to college, I was so blessed to have my Dad make me my bedside table, and a gorgeous jam cupboard.  I still have every single one of these

Gosh, I'm busy on this blog the last few days! lol I have to say, since life has been NUTS around here, and it still is, I'm glad to be finally catching up a bit!  I have had these layouts done for quite some time, but just now am I finally getting them up to show here!

It has been an absolute whirlwind of activity around with exciting things like flooding, school ending, a family vacation, getting a new puppy, and reno's resulting from the flood!  I'm sorry I haven't been here lately, and the next month still looks grim for much computer or scrapping time, with the continuing renos, but I HAD to pop in today to share with you a Super cute SNEAK PEEK from

Just a quick post with some new Fancy Pants Roadshow layouts. We had a very sad weekend here, as our oldest cat (still only 11 years old) Klaudie passed away unexpectedly.  The Dr. thinks it was kidney cancer.  I won't go into details, but this is a picture of him napping with my daughter almost exactly one year ago.   He was a GREAT family cat, and we all miss him so much!  I couldn't resist

There are some AMAZING punches out there right now, and I'm a little smitten with some of Martha's new ones in particular!  I'm going to share 3 layouts that I've done in the last few days and two of them use her Punches, and the other one is my week 4 Savvy N' Sassy Ribbon Rave challenge layout ;0) Okay, first for the punches, since there's two of those layouts!

I have been having lots of fun with my lastest haul from the Nook.  Wow!  Are these G45 collections ever cool!  I've made a few cards this morning, and also did a rare for me double page layout with Dear Lizzy! I don't often do double page layouts, but I have to admit, I love how this one turned out!  It's simple, and kinda clean...except for the inking. lolYou can always click on the photos for

I have been playing along on the Scrapfan facebook group with a challenge that Corinne threw out there and a few that I've issues as well. I was missing the FNC's as much as she was I think. lol The first card here is for Corinne's challenge to use at least two stamps.  I used a new to me Cornish Heritage Farms stamp and my Prima Butterfly again.  That's the new G45 gentlemen line paper behind

My DT kit from the Scrapping Nook for March was the lovely AC letterbox line!  I have to admit, I'm not usually huge on AC, nor am I big on pastels in abundance, so when my sister Karen told me I was playing with this line, and that it was full of 'pretty pastels' I was worried....a lot.  But then I laid eyes on it, and I fell in love! lol These two were from my first play time with the kit.

It doesn't have to be crazy wild when you use Neon and otherwise, not 'pleasing colours'.  Not that I have anything against neon green, wickedly BRIGHT orange, and Sunshine yellow, or that really bright horrendous purple colour, but It's something I use very sparingly. lol I found a pack of neon cardstock in my stash, and decided I had to make something with it,...and I really wanted to like it.

I've been playing with PP Cupid line for my DT kit this month at The Scrapping Nook right here I love this line because it's not totally 100% streamlined to Valentines only. It would be fabulous for baby, or spring/summer pages as well as little girl, and sibling pages too! Here are a few things I've been busy with!

I have used it to glue these glass beads to paper, and the paper to the magnet...they are together TIGHT! It's a similar product to Glossy accents in my mind, except it doesn't stay puffed up or

Well the Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas are sadly over. :( But I played along with each one this year, and I had so much fun. I learned a lot of new things, and made some tags I'm very happy with...and some that I think I may have had to improvise a little too much on. lolHere are my final two tags from 2009!! HUGE thanks to Tim for all the time and energy he puts into these every year...

Purple Onion Designs is having a winter sale!! 25% off all stamps until Dec. 15th! This is a great deal! All of their stamps are unmounted red rubber that make BEAUTIFUL impressions!I have used the flourishes from the Ornamentals set on all of my tags until today's tag. lolSpeaking of today's tag...here it is!Early 1900's music background was used on my lamp post tag too! :)

I got my UHU sample in the mail last week, and it was a total surprise! When I requested it she responded saying that they were all out for November...so it was a really happy mail day when it arrived!When I got my hot little hands on this glue stick I really wanted to give it a good test!This is the ONLY adesive I used on both of these projects(with the exception of the self-adhesive pearl

I recently found the UHU blog through a friend and requested one of their samples to try. In a week or two after emailing the, I got the sample, and had some fun! This is the sample I was sent.And here's the information on it!I did a few layouts with it, and here they are!I found it super easy to use, and it didn't clog or gum up at all, like some other glue runners I've used. I did however

It seems I've been rather drawn into circles this month! I've also been purging older stash, and trying to finally organize my scrap space. We have lived in this house for over 2 years now, I think it's time to finally do the job. lol In my sorting and purging I came across LOADS of stickers. You know the ones, CM, Sandy Lion, Mrs. Grossman, Provo Craft...some of them got the boot, but I

How did that happen??? What happend to my summer? It feels like it JUST got here....and now it's gone. :0(This is the first year I have mixed feelings about school starting. Every year until now, I've dreaded it way more than the kids. This year, I'm a little excited, a lot nervous for both of my boys, and also still sad too. I love love love having my kids home with me, but I know this is

Our 2 year old daughter has been diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity this summer and so I've spent a LOT of time in our sorry state of a kitchen (in MAJOR need of a reno) working on making gluten free snacks and meals palatable for her...and me. lol A few weeks after we got her diagnosis, my Dh's grandfather passed away, and between these two happenings I was completely de-railed as far as

I don't think I've ever used collection packs this much! I'm totally in love with the lemonade right now!!And some of the papers really mix well between the lemonade and June Bug lines! ;) This one is June Bug. The little girls face is blacked out as we've since moved and haven't kept in touch, so for privacy, I've kept her anonomous! This is a favourite of mine! My mom and DD at the beach.

I have purchased a few from her, but they're not standing up in their raw chipboard form to the kids who like to look through their

I have lots of memories of snow in April, and unless I'm completely insane, I can even remember getting snow the odd year in May. Oh well, better now than next weekend...I'm still pulling for a warm spring weekend for the Easter Bunny. He likes to hide

Hi all! I was surprised a few days ago to get a request from Jayme over at Scrapfan to be their gues designer for the month of April! This will be the first month without a regular kit over there, so it's a mystery to me what I'll be working with for them, but I'm super excited!!!

I have made a decision to try to actually USE UP COMPLETELY some of my stuff!! This in particular was a kit from Scraptivity going back a few years now, when Wendy was still the owner. I'm not big on purple, so this kit wouldn't have been one of my favourites, had it not been for this particular pp, (Daisy D's, who have since stopped manufacturing. :( ) and the AWESOME stamps that came with

I was doing some scrapping on Friday night for a crop over at Scrapfan, and two of the challenges wer my fav's! One was to use glitter...not stickles, or pre-glittered embellies, but to actually use glitter on your layout. I had been cutting some intricate viney flourish dies, and decided to Xyron them. Now I am cheap. I used to have the Xyron machine, but I sold it, and I just use the
