Crop Colouring

Good morning!
I had a chance to do some colouring at a crop this past weekend. I had just received some new goodies from Kraftin' Kimmie so thought I would colour some of them up. For this card I used Look For Rainbows. I coloured her up with my copics. I am entering this in the Kraftin' Kimmie's Anything Goes challenge over at their blog. CS is CTMH, the oval die is Lawn Fawn, the patterned paper is from Quite Contrary, white dots are Nuvo drops ,and the twine is from my stash.

MWAAAAAAAH!! It's been 4 looooong years!!

I can't believe it has been almost 4 years since I last posted. Not sure if there is even anyone still out there?? I am hoping to make more time for crafting and less time on this darn computer!! I want to start sharing my work again so I am going to start with this card I made for my cousin and her wife who very generously opened up their home to my family and I when we planned a tourist trip to Toronto this past summer. We did the City Pass in 2 days, it was crazy!!
 For this card I used Stampin' Bella's Seniorita Wanda. I love her!! I coloured her with my copics and the paper is old Basic Grey, I believe. I tried out some of the Ranger Enamel Accents.

I am entering this card over at Kraftin' Kimmies sketch challenge.

Birthday for Jenn

I don't know if there is still anyone out there to see this, but I made a card and actually took a picture of it before I gave it away, so I thought I would post it. Summer is almost here so maybe I'll get around to doing this more often (:
 My wonderful friend Jenn (who took me on that amazing Hawaii cruise in the fall) just had her birthday a couple of weeks ago so I made her this card.

I used Dandy Lion from Kraftin Kimmie. As soon as I saw her I knew she was a have to have!! Easy to colour, especially when you can just use stickles on her poof balls (: The base of the card was made using CTMHs Art Philiosophy cartridge (might have been the Artiste cartridge??) I used spellbinders to cut out her and the mat. I had to do a little out of the box technique to get the whole image. She was coloured with copics.

 Well if you are reading this, thanks for not deleting me from your list of blogs!!! I will get out there and check out all of yours soon!!!

Jenn (:

Where has the Time went??!!!!!

I've kind of fallen off the blog train!!!! I can't believe it's been almost 3 months since my last post!!! I can tell you I definitely did not reach my goal this year but I do have several layouts done that I just haven't had the chance to photograph.

 I have to say that for some reason I have felt pressured to make cards and create pages this year, I'm not sure why??? I don't have any real deadlines, etc. Because I felt this way I didn't want to do anything ): I have been doing projects for my Hostess Club but those have instructions so it's easy enough. I guess the fact that I had to relocate my scraproom had something to do with it too. I am still putting on the finishing touches but hopefully I will have some pics to share soon.

  I do have something to share with you!! A few pics from my trip to Hawaii!!!!

Jen and I on the big plane to Honolulu 

First pics of palm trees - Honolulu

Mr. Crab on the beach in Kona where we went scuba diving

Yummy drink called a Lava Flow - on the ship

Beautiful Driftwood Beach in Kauai

Got a pic with Allison (Orthner -leader of the pack)

and a pic with Jill (Hildebrand)

It was a little windy (: That is the Waimea Canyon behind me

This is the Haleakala crater. 

Also at the crater but looking the other way. We were above the clouds. 10 000 feet up.

One of the fabulous scrapbook stores we found in Hawaii. This one was in Maui. 

Hibiscus- one of the many beautiful flowers in Hawaii

Another great scrapbook store. This one is in Hilo and run by a girl originally from BC


Well, I guess that's it for now!! I am going to attempt to do Project Life this year. I find that I forget the little things the kids say and do, so even if I do a weekly or monthly layout I can record these things. Have a fabulous New Year!!!!

Hugs!!

Jenn (:

P.S. for those of you I usually follow regularly, I apologize for being MIA the last bit!!!

Dad's Birthday Card

 My dad's birthday was last Sunday. This was a quick card I put together for him. It was easy but I like how it turned out. I got the idea from a card I saw on Pinterest. It was made by Lyssa.

I used a Sizzix embossing folder, Tim Holtz and CTMH paper, the image is a SU stamp (Harvest Blessings) and the sentiment is CTMH.

 So I have some exciting news!!!! (if you are on my FB you've already heard) My friend Jen is taking me on the Crop & Cruise in Hawaii!!!!! My cc just got charged for my passport so I am on my way!!! We fly out November 9th and enjoy the beautiful Islands for 8 days!!! How lucky am I!!!? I'm so glad Jen's husband doesn't like to scrapbook (: So if you have any travelling advice for me, please leave it, because to be quite honest I haven't really traveled before!!


 Have a happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone!!!!! Enjoy your time with family and friends!!

Absolutely Fearless

 This is a layout of Kieran learning how to ride a two wheeler without training wheels. It was just last summer and he was 6, which is a bit older then the other two boys, but Kieran is just a little guy so it took him a while longer to be big enough (: As you can tell from the pictures, he was pretty excited!!!

 I used Graphically Speaking for the title, Bo-bunny double dot and I think Echo Park paper. The chipboard and cs are CTMH, which I stamped on with a background stamp.

 So with only supply teaching this year, I have had some time to start putting my new scrap space together. It isn't quite finished but as soon as it is I will post some pics, along with some of my old room transformed for Azelyn. I think I did a pretty good job transferring most of the room to a 6x6 space (:
 Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

26/78

 (I am a third of the way there with only 3 months left): I did manage to complete about 12 pages this past weekend at Fall Flurry  though!!
