So Thankful

Ok so I know I am almost a month late with this Thankful layout, but I figured that this would be good for both the Canadians (to catch up on those Thankful photos) and those in the US who will have their Thanksgiving soon. In keeping with the theme of trying to catch up on last year ~ here is a multiphoto double layout showing all the blessings around my table.

I love seeing all the faces of my family and how we change as the years progress.

I handmade the floral/leaf sprays for this page. Sorry it is so grainy ~ My computer is still doing funny things and has mysteriously removed one of my main scrapbooking programs AND I can't find the CD for it. :(

Thanks for looking! Kimberly

A Haunted Hunt

November is here and I am a year older...sigh...
We had great fun this weekend.
Cropping with Mel on Friday night.
Surprise surgery on the van on Saturday morning with Tom.
Speedy Creepy decorating on Saturday evening with the Kids.
Shelling out Saturday evening to not a lot of creatures.
Church Sunday morning and finally rest on Sunday afternoon.

Our new neighbours moved in last weekend and their son promptly came down with the flu - the really nasty kind. He made enough of a recovery to head out for a short time on Saturday night. They came by for some extra special treat bags, made by my husband and the kids ~ tags made by me. Welcome to the neighbourhood Grime Reaper Matt and Tinker Bell Ema!

Here is a close up of the little tags I made for their treat bags. I used the Cricut machine with the Paper Dolls Cartridge and a load of scrap paper pieces.  Hope you like them & let me know what you think. Kim

Stash Search

Every month for a few years now, All About Scrapbooks & More, where I work, does up a monthly $5.00 "BROWN BAG SURPRISE KIT" This month I acutally bought one. The rules are "you must use a piece of everything in the bag" and if you like ~  bring back your project, layout, cards or whatever for a chance to win a prize. (I can't win but I had fun doing the kit)
So here is what was in the bag. 1 cardstock, 1 double-sided patterned paper, 1/3 sheet of patterned paper, 1 mini bingo card and a clear stamp? Keep in mind you can add anything you would like to the kit...
How many things can you make with the following items???

I went on a scrapbook stash search today, looking for items to create some fabulous pages and here is what I added to my kit.

And here are the layouts that I created with the 2 sets of items.

On this one I only added Rhinestones, Thickers and Tiny Alphas.

I was really inpressed when I was done because I only had a few circles left from the patterned paper. Enough maybe to make a card. There were a few things I forgot to add to my supply list ~ Black ink, Black & White Journaling pens, Black Sukra Glaze pen, Black Metal arrow, White letter stickers,  Light blue cardstock scrap, and for the life of me I could not find the hand crocheted posies by Fancy Pants Designs.

Thanks for looking and I hope this inspires you to search your stash for some great treasures you might have forgotten about. Kimberly
