Thought of you today... & Smiled!

WoW... where has the summer gone. Only 1 and a half weeks until I'm back at school and I haven't posted nearly as much as I had planned too... so I thought that I should get at least one more post in before the summer is over!

I love buying scrapbook kits... you could say that I'm addicted. Trust me - it's not like I don't have enough scrapbooking supplies, but there is just something about receiving that pizza box in the mail filled with all those new embellishments and paper... oh and all of the new ideas that are in the newsletters that are included!  You gotta love it!!

Well the idea for these cards came from one of those kits! (FYI - if you haven't heard, Scrapbook & Cards has started making these awesome kits called "Crop & Create Delivered - Creativity at your Door"!)

I know, enough chit chat already, just show the card!! Well here it is...!

When it arrives in the mail, it will be flat but once you open it to read the personal message inside, you also see the rest of the message...

This is the way you would display the card... and here is a side view...

Don't you just love it!!

The paper that I used was from Bo Bunny's "Hello Sunshine" line.

If you would like to know how to create one of these cards yourself, just leave me a message & I will send you the instructions! If I have enough people interested, I may just have to write another post!! :-)

Till next time... Happy Scrapping!! :-)

Hey there, just finished this layout and wanted to share it right away!


A couple weeks ago, we made a quick trip up to Parksville to pick up paper for the layout I'm working on for the Simple Stories Fan Day Blog Hop that is taking place this coming Friday, January 20th! Anyway, while I was in the store up there, Scrapbookin' Adventures, I saw a layout that I liked & it looked so simple to do. Once I got in the truck, I quickly sketched it on the back of a receipt so I wouldn't forget it!


We stopped in Nanaimo & my hubby said we could stop at another scrapbook store & I saw this paper... it's BoBunny's "Forever Fall" collection. It's not a colour I ever really buy, but it was just calling out to me. I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but I knew I had to get it.


On the way home, that's when it came to me, use this paper to do the layout I had seen in Parksville. So when I got home I put the layout together, but then what pictures do I use... Well tonight I was looking for some winter pictures & came across these pictures... They were taken this past September when we were camping in Parksville! I took Cassie for a walk as the sun was setting... sure glad I took my camera as well!!

This picture really doesn't do it justice, but this was the only one that wasn't washed out or too dark! As I've said before, I like to take multiple pictures of the same thing - action shots. In these pictures, the setting sun is the only thing that changed! In the large picture you can see the sun just above the hill, yet a couple seconds later, you can no longer see the sun. This picture I cut into small squares across the bottom... a small mosaic pattern!


It's hard to tell, but I also inked all the edges with my gold coloured ink.


Well thanks again for stopping by!


Till next time... Happy Scrapping!! :-)

Our idea of roughin' it...

We love to go camping... but our idea of camping isn't the same as a lot of other people's!!!  :-) We've actually been told that we don't camp, as we aren't roughing it! We go RVing!! :-)

As we don't sleep on the ground & we don't have to worry about getting all wet when it rains... we quite enjoy our idea of roughing it...

This paper used in this layout is old products/collections from both "Cosmo Cricket" & "BoBunny". The chip board is also from Bo Bunny's "roughin' it" line!

Whether you like to camp or rough it like us...  thanks for stopping by!

Till next time... Happy Scrapping!! :-)
