It's Friday !

The end of another week.
So whats planned for this weekend?

• Stuart's cooking dinner for me tonight,since it's our Anniversary :) Actually the year we got married Halloween was on the Saturday and as much as I would have thought getting married on Halloween was extremely cool when I was 16.....it didn't have quite the same appeal as an adult !!.......we got married on the Friday instead !
• Have to put the tempo up this weekend,I hate doing this because it's a sign that winters on it's way :(
• I should cut all my plants down in the front garden.
• Carving pumpkins ! I have remembered to bring them in now so they aren't freezing tomorrow.
• Trick or treating...........my turn to stay home and hand out treats this year.
• Scrapping..........can not let my current roll stop just yet !
• Other than that,should be an easy weekend.

Back to the scrapping subject.
This is the first page I made last weekend....


These are last years pictures :)
I really like this page.
It was noted that there was 'a lot' of patterned paper on this page for me! Which is true,I suppose there is.
I actually really like paper.I have quite a lot of it too,as was abundantly clear to me this week when it was spread out on my kitchen floor when I was re-organising.
That is why I'm trying to use it instead of hoarding it.
One of my favourite parts of scrapping is selecting the papers I want to use,even if most of the time I don't use that much.
With that I'm off to pull out some papers for my next page.

Have a good weekend and a safe and fun Halloween :)

A New layout

I'm a bad blogger.
It's been a week since my last post !
I have,however,made 7 layouts since the one I posted in my last post.
Seven :) Helps when you crop with some fun friends !
It wasn't the usual Fall crop but fun none the less,lots of eating,drinking,laughing and scrapping,I actually made 5 pages,pretty good for me.
It got me motivated to scrap again and I had a little re-organisation in my space too,I find that always helps.


Anyway,I made this one this week for the American Crafts blog,challenge this week.
To create a sports related layout,with 2 or more AC products.
I've been waiting while to get these photo's printed off.I took this photo through the fence but I really like the effect it created on the photo,the shadow on Ad's face is a lot worse here than irl :)


American Crafts Supplies:
Paper........Junior 'You're Out' 'Tag-You're it' 'Radical'
Thickers.....Letterman (title) Giggles (date)
Foam Star......Used as a template

Other supplies: Cardstock...Bazzill,Grid Paper...Scenic Route,Little letter Stickers...Carolee's Creations.

Hopefully back tomorrow to pick up again with posting a layout every Friday.

A layout

Hmmmmm,well I thought I had a lazy easy week ahead but I seem to have been rather busy.
I have had time to make a layout for this weeks challenge on the American Crafts blog.
It's been a while since I've had a chance or the right stuff to do this.
This weeks challenge was to use a black and white photo with 2 AC products......
(Please excuse the poor quality,it is so dark here today)


As much as I have a pile of older photo's desperately waiting to be scrapped I picked a recent one from this summer with some AC scraps I had leftover.

American Crafts Supplies:
Paper.......Moda Bella(Timeless and Bold) Teen(Honor Roll)
Thickers....Daydream
Rub-ons.....Lauren

Other supplies:
Cardstock...Bazzill and SEI
Green swirl rub-on....WRMK
Brad and chipboard tag....Unknown.

Scrapbooking is definitely on the agenda this weekend.........woo hoo !! Off to plan some pages :)

And.....it's snowing.......yuck :(

I love Autumn

Or fall,whatever you want to call it!
I love it,I really do,it's my favourite season,no question about that.
Looking out my window,it all looks so pretty,I even like the cooler weather.
Last weekend we cleared a ton of leaves but already my grass is covered again,it's looking like the photo in my header.

Since I like to post a picture and I have nothing scrapbook related again :( I'll post the first 15 days of my photo a day challenge I've been doing with Patti.


We set ourselves a colour challenge since the month of October seemed pretty fitting...Yellow,orange red and green.Lots of leaves from me,7 out of 15 are leaf related !!!!

I don't know where the past week has gone since I last posted.
We got lots done in and around the garden last weekend,which was good.
My Mum flew home last night.
I'm looking forward to this weekend,it should be a fun one.

OK better get off the evil computer and get some stuff done around the house.
Hopefully back to being a better blogger next week,with some scrap stuff to post because I am determined to scrap next week :)

Short and sweet :)

Looking forward to the long weekend......the kids have today and Monday.
Lots of cooking and baking planned.
Plenty to do around the garden.
Hoping the weather co-operates and the sun comes out for longer than a couple of minutes,so we can go for a long walk or two to enjoy the beautiful Fall scenery.

I haven't scrapped since last week,I've been too busy sewing up a storm this week.
I see sewing on the agenda next week too but I am dying to get scrapping again,especially since I have a few new purchases just sitting,waiting........

Since I hate to post without a picture I'll post this one from last weekend.
We went to Ottawa for the day(I love Ottawa) Did the farmers market at Lansdowne Park and made a few purchases,then walked around the Parliament buildings and onto the Byward Market area.


Have a good Thanksgiving weekend for those of you reading in Canada :)

Teenager in the house !

Son number one turns 13 today.........


OMG,where Oh where does the time go ?

A Layout.......

......for Friday.
Been a while but I have one since I managed to scrap 2 pages this week.....go me :)


So glad my neighbour planted these along our border so I could enjoy them too.
Just had to scrap them for my flower album plus I got to use pink :)

Short and sweet post today.
Not much going on around here,just the usual everyday stuff.
Hoping for some sun this weekend.
