Farm Life

Out on the farm!

Joey and Rhys checking out the farm.

Brooke going to give Pacey a treat.

Rhys' first experience with a bunny! She pulled out Lola's hair and tugged on her ears.

Brooke tried some chocolate cake and loved it. Sorry about the angle of the photo, i keep changing it and it just goes back!

Well we had a great weekend at my sister-in-laws on the weekend. We enjoyed farm life (and i am a city girl through and through)!! We went for a walk, saw the horses, played with their new rabbit, went to a rummage sale, garage sale, and and auction (all in one day!). We had a blast and i took tons of photos! I can't wait to scrapbook them. I am sending them to Black's today so that I can start making pages really soon!!!

My sis-in-law, Renee, and I scrapbooked on Friday night for awhile. She has only made one small album before (for my shower gift) and it was great! I taught her some new tricks and left her with some of my supplies. I am sure she will do great! She was like a natural when i was helping her!! Unfortunately i forgot to snap some pics of our pages we created.

Jewels

Here are some of my jewelry creations. I have about 20 that i didn't photograph..oops! I will photograph them and post next week. I sold my favorite set before i took pictures.

I am off to my sis-in-laws for the weekend so i will post again on Monday.

Take care and happy croppin'

Time flies....

This is the only layout that I have completed lately!!! I have been so busy making jewelry that i didn't have time to scrapbook. Lately it seems i only have enough creative juices for one hobby at a time!!

I just love the new Queen & Company products!! I am sure that you will all snatch them up at the Spring Fling!! I hope that you all have a wonderful time...it is always two days well spent!

This is another Melina photo from Rhys' 6 month photo shoot. Hard to believe that she is 7 months today! I guess i better start another layout!!!

Extreme Layout

This is the layout I created for Rhys' 6 month photo.

I just love it! A little over the top with all the things on the page..but sometimes I like lots of stuff!

I submitted it to Canadian Scrapbooker...so it took me awhile before I wanted to post it!

Hope you like it!

Great Gifts

I love giving personalized gifts for special occasions so here are a couple of gifts i have created!

This little pink album is an All my Memories (AMM) accordian album that holds 6x6 pages, and it is only $9.99 at JSI. I am giving this one to my mom for mothers day. I have color copied some recent layouts i did of rhys (color copied at staples and reduced my 12x12 page to 50%) and placed them in this album. It worked really well because my layouts tend to be bulky and would not fit in the album, but by color copying them the pages are flat and fit well into the album.

This album is a Maya Road 8x8 Chipboard album that Rhys and I made Joey for Christmas. I had to reduce the number of pages because i made it too thick and they wouldn't all fit into the album when i was done.

Old Pages

I was looking through old albums the other day and came across these photos. I did them in 2001! I was laughing at how i used some bling on the pages and how i have come full circle and i love using it again. These pages are on 8.5x11 paper as that is how i first started scrapbooking. These are some of my only old pages that i actually like! most of them contain stickers and crazy shaped photos...so they are not as appealing to me anymore.

No New Pages

Well...no time to scrapbook today. I received a call from Paramount Spa to say that they would like to purchase more of my jewelry so I have been busy creating some unique pieces. No time to scrapbook until I am able to make a few more pieces! I need to make some money to pay for all of the great new things JSI got in! I love the new Queen and Company embellishments and can't wait to use them! Maybe I will have time to make one quick page before I make more jewelry?!
