Invitation cards....

Well.... lots is hapenning as per usual...

Catherine is soon turning 4...where does the time go??  She wanted to help with the invitations.... of course.  How can a sweet little girl resist tape, flower and especially the glitter. She made me do every single card with a friend in mind...." no flowers on this one it's for William... he does not like girlie stuff"

So if the design seems crooked.... well .... it is.... Catherine helped with everything...

I used the "build a bear,Beary best friend for this and well I typed and printed the inside of the card on whisper white... I gave up after a while and went the easy way.... crafting with a soon to be 4 years old is ..... lots of fun.... but a tad challenging...

Enjoy

Please keep an eye out for what's coming next!!!

 

New look!!!

Well??? What do you think?

I absolutely love it!!!   I wanted the look of a travel journal... as I always have one with me no matter where I deploy to... weather on tasking , on course, or overseas.  I am always writing, drawing or coloring.

The Poppie flower was also very important... it is the symbol of remembrance... "Lest we forget"

Michelle you are the best...

I am also very excited to announce that Katrina, Lisa and Myself are putting together a stampfest event scheduled on Feb 05, 2011  at the Petawawa Legion... more to follow on that.

I spent yesterday a delightful day at Katrina's place with Lisa... where good food, laugh and of course stamping filled the day... I made 4 cards inspired by Debbie Macneil... I did not quite completed them intending to do so once I got home.... instead I created (actually re-created) 2 other cards from "Sunshine design" from a  watercolor class that I took with Krista Schneider.

Well I will  gone for a few days to visit ma petite Maman and my brother

Have a Wonderfull New Year



New exciting changes....(well for me it is..)

First and foremost  I am going to take a little break from Dec 22 until Jan 5, 2011... I need to spend time with my family... It is a very special treat for both of us to be home and not deployed during this time
I know that once again I had gone AWOL...I have been preoccupied with work, volunteering, kids and a little incident at my home involving my husband and the stone chimney.... and of course getting ready for Christmas....
Anyhow on to my news...I will soon have a new Blog design from "Laycock Designs"  I am so excited...
At least my blog will be a little more organised and I will be able to keep up with catalogues and upcoming event.with side buttons and signature... no more fumbling around trying to figure out  layout and design... I am super psyched because...it's like she saw what I wanted in  my head and just pulled it out and made it real...

I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning... I can't wait...
I want to also take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas with your loved ones and a prosperous New Year

Christmas swap Day 1

24 Days of Christmas!

Our Artful Inker's team is doing a 24 days of Christmas swap. As I mentioned on my earlier blog.  We each made 24 items and swapped with one another so that on each day in December we get to open a different homemade gift! Because I live away from them, I had to exchange mine by mail.

I am waiting eagerly for my parcel... It on it's way!!!.... But I went on a teammate Blog and peak at what would be in today's swap.... So I borrowed her pictures ... just for today. Today's swap is from Samantha. Here what Michelle as to say about it " I just love the snowman, he's so darn cute and then inside was this beautiful Christmas star ornament. " My sentiments exactly.... I can't wait to put my hands on this little beauty....

Stop by again tomorrow for day 2's surprise!... FYI.... I might have to borrow pictures from my team mate  for that one as well....... soon... mine will be here!!!

Thanks Samantha... and thank you Michelle
