Visited by 2 witches

Jenna and her friend Gabby were Bewitched tonight. The girls had lots of fun and Aaron couldn't wait unitl they got home so he could raid his sister's bag.

Happy Hallowe'en

Have fun this perfect Hallowe'en evening.

Wishing Jenna's teacher the best

Jenna came home today with the news that her teacher will be undergoing surgery for breast cancer next week. We wish her the best and hope she'll be able to resume teaching soon.

Cool Hallowe'en suckers for card

Found these cool suckers and thought they would be perfect to use with the Hallowe'en stamp from the Sweet Centers set. Inked up the square stamp with 3 different colours for a fun look and I used a retired itty bitty Hallowee'en set from last year for the background of the card.

Today is the Annual GI Fundraiser

Jenna and I are off today for Heather and her Simply Starts team's GI Cancer fundraiser. Can't wait!

Wow its been a while

I can't believe its already the 21st of October. Been busy working and then came down with the flu on Monday evening. Will post when I'm feeling better.

Checking out the new car

Aaron and Jenna were almost as excited as I was to have the new car home. I'm a little scared though. Canada's Worst Driver tv show has taught them more than I want them to know about my driving habits.

Warm and snuggly

My afghan is not finished yet but Kally thinks its warm and snuggly

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to wish all my fellow Canadians a Happy Thanksgiving weekend. Hope you are able to spend time with those you love.

Christmas Tag Box

I'm keeping true to my promise to myself to make some of the projects I download so here is my Christmas tag box using Christmas Punch level 2 Hostess set pictured on page 14 of the current Stampin Up Idea Book and Catalogue. I used chocolate chip cardstock for the box, and an overhead projector sheet for the lid.

There are several tutorials on the web and here is just one of them.

Summer Sunsets

{Sorry for the quality of this photo. My camera battery is dying.}

I used an old favourite Stampin Up set. Its one of the first ones I purchased many years ago but it still has a place in my heart. The sun motif was perfect for these sunset photos.

Another layout by my friend Lizz

Layout using Designer paper in the Country Living Christmas kit

After creating a class using the Stampin Up Country Living Christmas kit, I still had 4 sheets of designer paper left over. I only used 2 for this layout and added a couple of sheets of real red textured cardstock and am happy with the results.

Another layout

I had a few extra minutes yesterday before I had to pick the kids up from school so I got out the paper I purchased before the zoo trip and the photos I took. Following a double page layout sketch it was simple to put it together very quickly.

Hallowe'en at Shelter Valley

One more layout finished with this summer's pictures. Thanks Lizz for the layout. Labour day weekend my children were at their Aunt's trailer park and celebrated Hallowe'en early. They had so juch fun and the weather was warmer than we usually get in October.
