Easter Sunday

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter weekend!

Prima and Pink Paislee Goodness

I had a wonderful time at Timberline designing these two layouts and playing with the yummy goodness of Prima and Pink Paislee. My heart truly sings when I get absorbed in flowers and lace, pretty pearls and things that sparkle! I really enjoy creating funky and bright layouts but I find that my creativity really blossoms when I play with products that are beautiful and romantic. I have never really thought of myself as having a particular scrapbooking style as I tend to bounce around a lot. Sometimes I just have to play with bright, bold colours. I love whimsical designs and elements but if I had to choose to design using only one particular style, I'd choose beautiful heartwarming vintage with a little shabby chic thrown in.

Here's my two layouts that I had so much fun designing. Thanks for stopping by!

It's Official...

I'll be teaching a class at this year's Crop for Kids! I'm really excited and truly honoured to have been chosen to be a part of this extremely worthwhile charity event to help raise money for BC Children's Hospital. Yolanda over at Tiny Seed will be sponsoring my class and although it remains a secret for now, I promise you we will be creating two lovely layouts using some beautiful new releases. Stay tuned for more information and be sure to check out the Crop for Kids website regularly to see all the talented instructors and their sponsors that will be donating their time, energy and supplies to this great event!

Timberline

What a wonderful weekend! Izzy took this photo so she's not in it, but she was there! I had such a fun time with my girls this weekend scrappin our little hearts out up at Timberline.  I created 13 layouts and am really pleased that I was able to get so much done. Kitting definitely makes a big difference in helping me be productive! Thanks Izzy!

I will have lots to share with you over the next several weeks. I'm going to save some of my layouts for my Kathy Thursday posts for Tiny Seed but once they are up, I'll share them here too. Here's a couple whimsical layouts I had fun creating from this weekend and a few sneak peeks of what I'll be sharing this Thursday over at Tiny Seed. Thanks for your wonderful friendships ladies! I had a really fun time! Sue, you were fabulous! No one would have known it was your first time hosting. You did an amazing job!

Here's my sneak peeks for this upcoming Kathy Thursday post over at  Tiny Seed. Hope you'll enjoy them. Thanks for stopping by!

A Couple Layouts to Share

I'm hoping to find more time to scrap this week. We shall see...

For now, here's a couple layouts I shared on Tiny Seed. Thanks for stopping by :)

An Irish Blessing for my Dear Friends

May God grant you always a sunbeam

to warm you,

a moonbeam to charm you,

a sheltering angel so nothing can harm you.

Laughter to cheer you, faithful friends near you,

and whenever you pray, heaven to hear you.

(I keep this little blessing on my desk at work.
I received it from a very dear friend and colleague,
Noreen when my mom passed away last year.)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Thank You to my Amazing Friendship Angels!

Today I received a call from a very special friend to let me know that some very dear friends of mine made it possible for me to attend something that I really didn't want to miss out on but for personal reasons was unable to attend. These dear friends wish to remain anonymous which I will respect. I would like them to know, and you know who you are, how meaningful a gesture this was to me, how profoundly thankful I am to have such amazingly generous and kind friends and how I promise to pay this act of kindness forward. You are an amazing group of women! Thank you!

My Scrappy Friends Mini Album

I've been wanting to make this little mini album for a long time. I bought this cute little TLC album from my friend Izzy way back when she was with TLC. Yesterday I finally finished it. I love how it turned out. Just wish it had more pages to include more of my scrappy friends! What do ya think?
Thanks for stopping by :)

More Delish Girls Paperie to share!

This is definitely one of my all time favourite lines! I just love these soft, romantic, colours! It's so much fun to play with. I've only got a little bit of this beautiful paper left but am super thrilled that there's more romantic Girls Paperie coming from CHA! I'll definitely be using up every little bit of my scraps to make some beautiful cards with what I have left. I also love love love these Kaisercraft bird cages! My second layout is based on another fabulous sketch from Creativ Scrappers. Thanks for stopping by :)

Dear Lizzy Layout to Share

Here's my layout I shared on Tiny Seed last week. I wanted to play around making my own flowers and had fun. I used the American Crafts Dear Lizzy collection for this layout. I'm off to play as I need to come up with a few ideas before I can share some exciting news with you all! Stay tuned :o) Thanks for stopping by!
