Project 365 #69 - pool fun

This was the other page I finished in Stonewall at the Scrapganza....it wasn't a super productive day, but it was a fun one. This one is of the pool in Disneyworld. It was sooo cold, but that didn't stop the girls from taking a plunge in the fridgid temperatures. Everyone at the hotel knew instantly that we were Canadians...who else would swim in an unheated pool when it is -3 outside???

Project 365 #67 and #68 -garden grill

These were the first two pages I got done in Stonewall...I won a little prize for them because I used the papers from my welcome pack to complete them...whooo hooo...gotta love prizes.

Project 365 #66 - Spring hats

IT'S CONVENTION DAY IN STONEWALL!!! YIPPIEEE...I love this day...my favorite scrapbooking event. It is put on by the SCRAP YARD. There are great prizes and they feed us so well....and the sales are awesome too. Alison changed it up a little this time and we are required to wear spring hats to earn ourselves a prize...so these are the gems I came up with for Lorie, my mom and myself...just beautiful (hahahaha ...might just pee myself over that statement)...but they should get some good laughs and hopefully some good prizes... I plan to do a lot there today to catch up on my 365...we'll see what actually gets finished today...could just end up being a day of shopping and socializing...and that is not all bad either!

Project 365 #63, #64 and #65 - girly baby cards

Emily's ex-kindergarten teacher apparently likes my cards and hunted me down this week while picking Emily up from school. She asked me if I could make her a pretty baby girl card, and of course, I couldn't turn her down. I am always up for a challenge and a reason to make a card! I couldn't just make one though, cuz I felt she needed a choice of card so I did three different styles for her to choose from. I am not confident enough to just show up with one and expect her to like it...preferences are so different from one person to the next...which one do you like best? I think my favorite is the one with the heart...it is girly, but not too goo goo ga ga if you know what I mean? My mom just brought me the stamp with the teddy on the moon that she bought in the States while she was gone, so I had to use that too...and with all the Alice in Wonderland and fairy tale stuff out there, had to do one with this fuzzy rabbit too!...The only requirement for the card was that it had to have pink...not too vague??? Please leave a comment on which one is your fave...comments are sooo much fun! I am entering them in the following challenges, cuz as I said, I am always up for a challenge: Caardvarks: baby card: http://www.caardvarks.blogspot.com/ Flourishes Timely Tuesday: Bought it, Use it!: http://www.flourishes.org/blog/ Cuttlebug challenges: baby:http://cuttlebugchallenge.blogspot.com/ Deidrich Dare: brown and pink inspiration...rabbit card all the way: http://www.thediedrichdare.blogspot.com/

Project 365 #62 - 6 Easter cards

Happy Easter Everyone!

I have been a crafty slacker lately...we have had spring break here and have been super busy. I don't know how that happens when all of the kids stuff is cancelled, but it does. We bought a new van and the girls went to get autographs and pictures with Cindy Klassen. They were super excited to meet an olympic medal winner in person.

I also did the following little easter card...i thought they were super cute, so I made 6 of them! They are in a stair step card style...the first bunny says my feet hurt (his feet have been eaten)...the second says my back hurts (same fate for his back) and the third bunny is missing his ears and is saying "What??" Thanks Cheryl for the idea....changed it up a bit

Project 365 #54 - Lego land layout

Another DisneyWorld page finished! yippee! this was lego land...the girls liked lego land better than anything else on site at disneyworld...and the fact that McDonald's was next door and they could eat something other than DisneyWorld food for the first time in 8 days....mmm...french fries!

Thanks for looking!

Project 365 #53 - Pooh Page

Not sure I am loving this page, but what's done is done. I made all the little pooh bears on my cricut machine. FYI pooh is waaayyy easier than cutting out the little tiggers (they are down further in the blog around Septemberish). I painted and sanded and misted the cardstock, but the effects are hard to see in this picture. One more Disneyworld page down...still tons more to go!

Project 365 #52 - Spring tree

Well, it feels as though spring might be upon us...of course I don't want to jinx it cuz it is not too late for a huge snowstorm in our neck of the woods, but all I can say is thank goodness for el nino winters....it is gloomy and a little rainy, but those are all acceptable when spring is on the way...the sooner the snow is gone the better. I got this set from Laura's Close to my Heart party a while back and wanted to give it a try. They are all individual stamps that I mixed and matched to make a tree with flowers...I am entering it in the following challenges:

Project 365 #49 - too wise for me

I did this card for fun...my mom put this phrase inside one of the girls' valentines this year and I hadn't heard it in forever...then there was a challenge to make a card with text as the focus....just in case you don't get it, it goes like this: Too wise you are, too wise you be, I see you are too wise for me.....I am going to enter it in the following challenges, cuz that's just the kind of mood I am in...enjoy!
