{ first time trying out Digi Scrapbooking }

This was so much fun! I bought the Memory
Mixer program from Lasting Impressions. So easy to use! At first was unsure
how much I would like digital scrapbooking. Turns out that I really like it! Might even venture into hybrid scrapbooking!


For this double page layout, I used one of the pre made pages. Super simple, just click and drag your pictures. Add some embellishments and text. Voila! Done a beautiful double page spread. This is something I will do again!

Maybe some calendars for Christmas!!

Well, today is my Monday. Off to work today. When I come home, I plan on working on some cards. There is some baby paper calling my name!

{ playground }

Tonight was so much fun. Took Brayden to the playground, behind our house. He played for over a half an hour with a boy his age. And for the first time, ever, I let him be. I am usually there, right beside him. Not tonight, he was playing on his own. It was a proud moment. To see him, not needing me there. I know there will be lots moment like this. Pre-school is this fall, and that will make him more independent. My little man is growing up!

Just finished designing my mini book for my class. It is so yum-o......wish I could post a sample...needs to photographed @ work. Once there is a proper picture, price and time; I will post!!


Hint: Using Cosmo Cricket: Get Happy Line and it's an acrylic mini album!!!

Summer is Here!!

Oh I am so excited about summer! We have trip planned in August to go the Seattle Zoo. Maybe some day trips to various places in Vancouver. Would love to go to Whistler over night. One of our fav spots in BC!

The season changed, which means I got my FREE copy of Scrapbook and Cards!! This is by far one of the BEST magazines out there. Full of ideas and neat tips and tricks. The product that is featured in it is availible for us Canadians too!! The highlight for me is seeing tons of talented Canadian designers!

Working on some really cute mini books for a class. Going to finish that off tonight!

Good luck to all the Cosmo Cricket applicants! So many of them have stunning work. I am not sure how they will pick!

Enjoy the first day of summer!

{ Time Flies }

It is not amazing how times flies by? I was just going through a series of folders and CD's looking for pictures. Felt like I was just at the pumpkin patch with Brayden, celebrating Christmas and being with friends that have moved away! As time doesn't change, I need to make sure I am writing down how I feel, in that moment. It will be much better to tell my story this way. Going to pack a little note pad in my purse. Just for this reason. I may even have stories that do no have pictures. And that is ok to!

Scrapbooking products also have a huge impact on telling your stories. For me, I get inspired by product. Makes it easier to tell my story. At Christmas, I bought Deja A Views holiday line. As well as Cosmo Crickets 8x8 paper pack. It inspired me to create. If I am not going to use it right away, I will simply get my pictures printed and store them in a Page Planner (Cropper Hopper). Then I know that I can go back at anytime and scrap that event.

More Pieces to add

Here is a few more pieces for my application. I was dreaming Cosmo, last night!! Playing with ribbon, rub-ons and black chip board! Getting my hands on the die cut sheets that fit perfectly over top the chip board! Yum-O! Yes, I dreaming about scrapbooking supplies? Doesn't everyone? hmmm.....

Applying for Cosmo's DT!!

Well, I am so excited about this one! Cosmo Cricket it accepting applications for their Design Team! Going to post a few of my layouts for everyone to take a boo at. Enjoy!

Now...I wonder what kind of bribes the team @ CC take? Baked goods? Chocolate (everyone loves that)? How about...Oh no, I have it....except, I think I will keep this one to myself!!
