Look Who's One!

Evangeliene Lily turned one last week. Her birthday party was yesterday. I got some super cute photos but I want to play around with them in photoshop first. Here are a couple anyway. Wait till you see what I bought her...she loves it! That will be the next post :)

Here is my Back to School Project

A nifty little card for teacher on the first day back at school (I would LOVE to receive such a thing).

I used my new favourite thing...CORK...to make my other new favourite thing...mini corkboards!! This is the 5th mini cork board I've made on a project. I adore them. Reminds me of my corkboard at home jammed full of little momentos, memories and upcoming events to look forward to.

Do you have a cork board to keep track of things? Is it neat, tidy and organized? Or a complete mess like mine is?

Don't forget to head right on over to Jenn's blog to see what she has created for your viewing pleasure.

grrrr

I just screwed up a nice long blog post... be back later to try and recreate what I wrote. Here is a layout using a So Sketchy sketch (July #15).

Limited Edition

I think this is the last layout that I did. And it was a long time ago. I just love this monster that Noah drew and immediately knew I wanted to put it on a page. Better in an album than shoved in a pile somewhere. Of course I had this OA paper just waiting to be used.



I'm on holidays this week and next. Trying to see a few friends that I haven't in awhile, and hopefully get more than a few pages scrapped.



We took the dogs to the beach on Saturday. Anyone want to see pics?

my life would suck without you

more cuteness

Found these at a dollarstore. Imagine the possibilities...

pencils and paper

I have always loved stationary. I have tons of little notepads from years gone by that are barely used. This little green number is the cutest, isn't it? And those pencils?? Got them at Dollarama. Loooooooove :)

highlights

some happy highlights from the past week...
-scrapping with the girls (sooooooooooo good for the soul)
-brunch with the same girls + a few more awesome ladies + 2 cute babies
-fabulous meal at fresh cafe
-first pool day for the dogs (Cleo opted out and sunbathed instead)
-ice cream sundaes mmmmmmmmmmmm

This has taken up my scrappy time for the last few weeks. My friend asked me to make this album for her hubby for Father's Day. I can't share the inside, but really, it looks sooooooo good!!! I'm happy with how it all came together. I hope they love it.

it was a gigglefest

Went to visit Eva and Noah yesterday at my moms. It's been a lonnnnnnnng time so I took 74 photos!! Eva was so giggly, while Noah was quiet and content drawing monsters. Here are a few of my favourites.
