Colour Challenge

This is another one of the sets that you should have bought when it was available. When you see it and you like it.......BUY THEN!!! As once they retire, they are "GONE"!!! Love this set! So here is my second card for the challenge. Love colour challenges!!!!!!

SP Colour Challenge

So this is the first colour challenge I have participated in (first challenge ever really). This is a SU challenge using Lovely Lilac, Choc Chip and Garden Green.....that was easy! So I also used the SU movers and shapers die, scallop punch to make my flowers, curly label punch, top note die, sizzlet leaf die, and the weathered background stamped with versa and brushed with gold pearlex. The non-su products are the ribbon and stickles on flower. Hope you like it!

Sorry the pics did not turn out so well, need a bit of practice.

The pic does not show so well but the Best wishes is actually using the new mover and shaker die which cuts, scores and punches out the curly label all in one run. LUV it.....there are also new shapes in the new catty.

Thanks for visiting.

Mackenna turns 4 - more pics

These layouts are a little old (2 years), but I just loved the colours. Mackenna was a "HUGE" Doodlebop fan.....so of course I had to find her the pink wig! She "LOVED" it. It was a stinkin hot day but she wouldn't take it off.............and I think that pink hair gave her a bit of courage. Check her out "FLIRTIN" with Nicholas!!!! Girls will be girls........age doesn't matter!!!! LOL

This has started me on a new obsession...................a wall of fame in my scrapping space incorporating canvas scrapbook pages (no frames), lots of colour and actually very cool!!!!

More pics to follow.....have to find them.....I need a better system on my comp.

Last Years CK Buffalo Page Layout Entry

Going to CK Buffalo again this year! Great time, I hope the economy has not put a damper on the event. Once again, I have put together 2 layouts for submission................Luv to try and win some sweet prezzies!!!!!

So, last year this was my page layout. I had fun putting it together..............no prezzies....but I'm trying again this year. Wish me luck!!!!!!

This year we are going for 3 nights.....2 nights were just not enough. We are real pro's at this now. We have a cooler on wheels.......we pack lots of food and snacks, baggies for transporting and of course our alcohol for the end of the night wind down.........that's when we get to really look at all of the great things we made and bought!!!!! I will be sure to post after that event.

So here are some views of my 2008 submission! Hope you "like".

Kirsten's Stampin Korner: Wonderful Wet Watercolor Rose!

Workin on it!!!!!

Well I have been busy working on submissions for the CK Buffalo Show at the end of the month. It is a "GREAT" event and I always look forward to going. This year we will be staying 3 nights instead of 2. Just too busy. We are also attending "ALL" of the night crops and of course have loaded up on classes. Not too much free time. Each year we improve and we have gotten "excellent" at bringing along what is needed. We always bring a big cooler packed w/bagels, cheese, cream cheese, milk, fruit etc.,,,,,,,got the idea????? We bring baggies etc., and always pack some food before going for the day. You really don't have time to eat.....or just don't want to take time out to eat.!!!! LOL!!!!!
Of course we bring the Mojito mix and buy our "BIG" bottle of rum at the duty free.......ummmmm......at the end of the day, it is way so "YUMMY" for the "TUMMY"......silly though how they seem to get stronger with each new drink made.
I do have to say "if you have never attended an event like this"......."YOU MUST GO AT LEAST ONCE"!!!!! You won't regret it.
OK....back to work.......I will post some new projects soon and of course I will post my submissions after the show.
Hope someone is out there and will read this..........................I'm still waitin for some followers!!!!!!!
Laurie

So.........I was really going to get this thing goin!!!!!! My computer crashed!!!!! I am on my daughter's laptop..............so you can imagine how much time that gives me. Of course...all my pics are saved on "MY" NONE computer.......................and we just had the hard drive replaced...

I will be up and running soon...............oh well gives me time to make more cards and take more pics of things I have already done.
Later............

I have a follower................

Uh huh!!!! I added myself........it was looking very lonely!!!! Hope someone finds me soon!!!!
HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO! Anybody out there in cyberspace!!!!

Vicki Boutin

I have added Vicki Boutin to my favorite blogs visited. I attended one of her classes at the Scrapbook Academy in Oshawa. I must say it was the best workshop I have ever attended. And beleive me I have been to "MANY". She showed us so many different techniques and we completed a great little album. I was very "HAPPY". I have signed up for 2 more classes at the Scrapbook Academy on June 13th.....can't wait to see what Vicki has for us this time.
