Masculine Birthday



Hello there!!
Yup, I'm posting again. I'm so proud of me :) HA HA.
I'm really trying to keep my blog updated....can't make any promises though. I will super try though and we'll see how it goes.
So it's my dad's birthday on Nov 10th and of course I had to make him a card. A manly card of course. I think this is pretty "manly" don't you? No frills or flowers to be seen at all. Oh I did add 1 piece of bling. A rhinestone for the "I" in birthday. That's as girly as it's gonna get. For the most part it has easy straight lines and is pretty much black and brown. I hope you like it...I hope he does too :)
Thanks for checking my blog out today. Happy Monday!!!

Happy Halloween!!!





OK so I'm a day late and it's been since MAY since I've posted anything. I realize that it's been forever and I don't know what to say other than "I'm so terribly sorry."
So, where to begin. Let's just begin at Halloween (which was yesterday). What a blast it is to have young kids trick or treating on Halloween. It's so fun to watch them run about collecting their candy. Brings a smile to my face for sure!!
Halloween is also my husband's birthday!! So the first card I have attached here is the card I made for him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!! The second card I totally cased from Margaret Moody. She's a new blog I have found and I am loving her stuff. Very inspirational to say the least!! So can't take credit for the second card. Both cards use the stamp set Wicked Cool (by Stampin' Up of course). I am really going to try to keep this blog updated. It's my new mission.

I do thank you for checking me out :)
I'll be back......I promise!!

Mojo Monday 191






Hello again all:

So I've been busy busy in my craft room lately!!
Our brand new neighbours got married this past weekend so naturally this called for a card and a small gifty :) I also felt like taking part in the Mojo Monday sketch so I've posted that above as well.
I decided to make the wedding card with a bit of a vintage feel to it. I sponged pretty much everything and you can't really tell in the picture but I scrunched up the flower to make it look worn. The flower is my new flower die, Blossom Party which I have to say I AM IN LOVE WITH!! I also used the Tiny Tags stamp set along with punch. So super cute!!
I hope you like the card and I hope our neighbours do too.
Thanks for stopping by.
Take care.

BABY GIRL!



HELLOOOOOOO!!
I'm on a roll now hey? Another post and it's only been a couple of days!! I know CRAZY isn't it?
So I had a baby shower to go to on the weekend and I needed a baby girl card in a pinch. I came up with this 5x5 card. Again, I LOVE making 5x5 cards. More landscape to cover ;)
This uses SU's Broadstreet Alphabet with some Sale A Bration paper. FUN colour scheme too hey?
This post is short and sweet--I'm actually in my craftroom now CREATING!! So fun!!
Take care and I'll be back soon.

Yes I'm still alive.....



Hello all and happy spring!!
Finally it's spring around here!! The snow is officially gone and I couldn't be happier. Our pool is open and ready to use (although we are expecting rain for the next 10 days!!) In light of the snow being gone and Mother's Day coming and going, I thought I'd post the mother's day card I made for my very own mom. It's a springy card don't you think?? It's a 5x5 card (which I LOVE making!!) and it uses that awesome colour combo Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz and Baja Breeze. SWEET COMBO!!
Hope you like it and I have more to show you over the next few days.
Take care all and enjoy your weekend!!

MDS AGAIN-I can't help it!



Hi all!!
So last post I told you I was addicted to My Digital Studio. I didn't lie. Here's another page I did using MDS. This was my second attempt. What do you think? These pictures were taken by my brother in law and I used them in my Christmas cards this year. Super cute hey? I love these pics of my girls. So, naturally when creating a scrapbook page I like to match paper to (generally) the clothes that people are wearing in the pictures. In this case I used a lot of Cherry Cobbler well and Old Olive to match the Christmas tree in the background. I hope you like it. It was so fun to create. Again, if you'd like information on MDS just shoot me a comment and I'll let you know. It's scrapbooking made easy!!! No clean up. That to me means a LOT!

Thanks and hope you're enjoying your weekend!!!
Paula :)

My Digital Studio*OH MY!!!!!!!*



HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
HAPPY FAMILY DAY TO YOU ALL!!
Today is a holiday for us here in Ontario. It's also the day after my birthday! Yes my birthday was yesterday and it was a great LAZY day in our home! I wanted nothing more. A day with my family. What more could a birthday girl ask for?
OK on to the post. I am excited to say that I've taken the plunge! YES, and I'm addicted! By the title of this post you know I am talking about My Digital Studio! Honestly, I was never interested in MDS because I LOVE scrap booking with REAL product. Buttons, brads, ribbon ETC. BUT that has allllll changed! This program is sooooo easy even I can use it and IT WORKS!! Now that's saying something!!! LOL!!! NOW, I still have a lot to learn BUT not bad for my FIRST MDS PAGE right? The beauty of MDS for me is it's super user friendly and NO CLEAN-UP!!! If I want to stop working on a project I simply shut my laptop and walk away. LOVE IT!!

So as mentioned above this is my very first MDS page. I LOVE the colour scheme don't you? I just came across it by simply PLAYING around with the various colours. THAT EASY! I hope you enjoy this page. Mark my words if you are on the fence about this product YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! It comes with tonnes of stuff and of course there is opportunity to purchase more downloads. Skies the limit. DO IT! BUY IT! ENJOY IT!!

Thanks for popping by!!
