MAY 3/11 ~ Celebrating My Mom This Week

My Mom is the best. She is always there to let me cry on her when life is getting to much, laugh with her when the cats do something crazy and let my joy out when my kids are fabulous.

She makes me my favourite dinner on my birthday. She laughs at the strange memories that pop into my head. She is my source of reason somedays.

She crafts with me and appreciates the work I do and sees it as my ministry. She spends hours making me crocheted flowers (I can't wait to get my hands on those) for my pages. She loves me no matter what, the good, the bad & the ugly too.

What more could I ask for?

Love you Mom!

March 6/11 ~ Playing with Paint

I am not sure how many of you know that I love to paint with watercolours as well as scrapbooking. The two go together so perfectly. I created 5 watercolour cards to teach at the store this month and actually realized how much I miss painting. These were just simply colouring in the stamped images but it was a happy thing to do. Here they are - TFL

 

  

Feb 17, 2011 ~ Christmas Angels

I am slowly getting caught up on my pages. I am working on Christmas layouts right now and have decided that working with RED clothing is a real pain. Too many red's to match.
Anyhow... on Christmas Eve I was sooooooooo sick that I could not go to our Christmas Eve service. Ed took the kids while I stayed home, sad & alone :(
As tradition dictakes I took Christmas Eve photos of the kids and they were great about it.
To create my layout I picked my favourite Chocolate Brown cardstock, patterned paper, stickers, embellishment & ribbon. Here is the end result. Hope you like it :)

I pulled a lot of stuff from my stash. Here is the list

Products: Bazzill ~ Mocha Divine & Bazzill White Cardstock, Ruby Vintage Core'Dinations Cardstock,  Jillibean Soup ~ Christmas Chestnut Soup - Whole Cloves, Christmas Chestnut soup stickers, JB White corrigated alpha, JB Kraft Journaling Sprouts, LYB Christmas magic sheer snowflakes, Thickers Apartment -Chestnut, BoBunny Gems, & Ribbon
