Wow life is flying.....

It has been a while since I posted last, life has been flying by fast...here is a snapshot of life since my last post..

• Work, Work, Work
• Making Xmas presents, I knitted scarves for a lot of people and did a mixed media piece for my niece
• Cleaned the house more than once!
• Went to Vegas for a week..that was fun.
• Organized the basement and one closet.
• Baked for xmas
• Had a great family over for a visit, lov u Kat!
• Fell down the stairs and busted up my tailbone....youch!
• Had my family here for about a week for Xmas.
• Cooked and cooked...and ate and ate
• Made a few layouts for The Scrapping Nook.
• Prepared an online mixed media class....starting soon. 

I am sure there was a lot more, but those are the high lights of November and December.  Here are the layouts that I did for the Nook.......using Teresa Collins paper I started documenting Vegas! 

Prima Layout with the Nook Kit.

Here are some layouts using the kit I got from the Nook.  I love Prima and had fun working with the stuff that Tara sent me.  Take a peak at these....

Keep checking in I have more to share, I am working with the November kit from the Nook now and having a great time...I will share this weekend.

One more for the show....

A late entry to show at Scrapfest but Heidi asked for me to use Graphic 45.  A little different for me, never cut a photo before and in this one I used two...it looks like Grace is holding a doll of herself...so much fun.....hope you enjoy it! 

BOO!

Isn't this the cutest banner for Halloween?  It is made with Kelly Panacci's new products!  As usual they are great and so many different things you can buy.  I made this banner this weekend with the Spotted Canary School kit, by Kelly Panacci.  I you are coming to Scrapfest, in Oshawa this weekend, sign up for this class and you can make your very own banner to decorate your home....there is still room!

Some more new layouts and NEWS!

I will start with the NEWS!  I have been graciously asked to join the DT over at The Scrapping Nook.  I have known many of the girls, some since the beginning of my scrapbooking days.  Janice thank you for the opportunity, I can not wait to get the first kit!  If you have not checked out the store in Welland, ON you definitely should, great store and great girls!!! Also check out the on line store so many goodies that they will ship to you! 

Here are the layouts I have been working on lately.  Hope you enjoy I have had fun playing lately. 

I have to run and post a project over at Altered Projects Inc.  Here is the mixed media item I made below, what I have posted is the instructions on how to do the image on it.  Come on over and check it out....

Lots to share with you over the next two days..

I have several layouts done and ready to share.  Also a mixed media piece as well.  Just on a roll in the studio and don't want to stop as long as my mojo is here!  I also have a announcement as well AND a altered project to post.  So I will start with a couple of layouts the second one is one of my favs...so 3D and textural.  If you go to Scrapfest in Oshawa in a few weeks, drop by and say HI and see them in person!

Just one to share..

This is my Auntie Joyce...I have not scrapped a lot of my family members other than children so have decided I have to start acquiring photo's of everyone.  My cousin took this a short while ago, I made this simple layout about her. Lots of fussy cutting of some Teresa Collins Christmas paper.  Well off to bed for the night.  See you soon!  J

Summer is almost over...so more scrappin' comes with fall...

Here are a few from last week, I have been trying to scrap some more as Scrapfest - Oshawa is coming up soon and it is time for some new stuff....Basic Grey and Teresa Collins.  Hoping for some more soon, got to get away from surfing the net!  Bye for now. J
