When it rains it snows!!

Well we got our first snow fall last night. It was kind of cool, and then Tito thought he had died and gone to heaven, I forgot how much he loves the snow. My little dog is a winter puppy he was born in November. Anyway, I was off today and went to my basement to do laundry and there was lots and lots of water in my basement because of a hose that is leaking all over the basement. So what did I do, cry first, then call my dad, then call my furnace guy, what an angel. He turned off the valve and then told me to call a plumber. I called Reliance and they told me that because it's coming from a pipe, it's not their responsibility. So I've called Mr. Rooter, and I'm waiting for them to show up. So, what do you do when you're waiting....


You Stamp of course. I made this card for a friend of ours who gave me the number for the furnace guy. It's gorgeous if I may so myself. I used the silver embossing powder, perfect plum cs, pale plum, and the eastern bloom set. I vanilla grosgrain ribbon, and did a black scallop edge. The words are from one of the hostess sets, which I can't get enough of. Let me know what you think. Today I'm finishing the example cards we'll be making for the Stamp a Stack this weekend. I'll post them after the day.

Rainbow Sherbert

I made some thank you cards for the ladies that came to my friend Jacquie's workshop, and I wasn't sure what to do, so I looked at my huge selection of stuff, and wasn't sure what to do, so I decided to use the DS paper Rainbow Sherbert, and LOVED the results I came up with. Tell me what you think. If you see this card on your doorstep one day it's from me, surprise!!

Later I'll post my workspace so you can see where I create all these beautiful works of art. And to think they gave me a C in my grade 8 art class. hahahaha.

Newest picture of my boy

So, the other day Tito was getting into my towels, so I took this picture. He is sooo cute and sweet looking that I just had to share it with everyone. Now you can all share in my cute Tito. I'm working on a scrap booking page with Blush Blossom and I'm hoping it will work out ok. I'm just searching for the appropriate pictures. It's a colour that is very under used, at least by me. I'll keep you all posted.


Okay, so I finished the scrapbook layout with the Blushed Blossom, let me know what you think. I kind of like it and I'm shocked that I had pictures that complimented the colour. The DS paper I used was Rainbow Sherbert, and the complimenting colours were Glorious Green, and Brilliant
Blue. I think it turned out pretty ok.

It's been a while sorry

I know that right now I'm the only one accessing my blog, but that's okay because I haven't had much to say. Well, I'll make up for that right now.


I have had a very exciting couple of months. I've had a great workshop with friends and their family from my home town of Tillsonburg, well actually it was in Otterville at Jacquie's house, but it's close enough to home. Most of the people at her workshop are avid scrapbookers, so I introduced them to card making. I did a very easy to make card, which I'll be reproducing at my very first Stamp a Stack for Christmas on Sunday November 2nd but this time with a bit of silver embossing. The stamp set is the Snow Burst, with Night of Navy Card stock for the card, then Blue Brocade for the second layer, then whisper white, and the ink I used was Not Quite Navy, and Brilliant Blue, with a bit of Silver Embossing for the smaller ones. The word stamp came from the All Holidays stamp set. Very easy to replicate.

I was asked to start a Scrapbooking club as well, so I'll be sending out the blog address to all my friends. If you're interested in joining, I'll have 10 spots in total, and we'll get together once a month for 10 months, and each person gets to be the hostess once a month, as well you are required to make a 20 dollar order to be in the club. This also covers the cost of the supplies which I will provide.


Let me know if you're interested, and I'll get it started.
