Daddy's Girl

Hello there all!!

Well this officially marks the LAST week of my maternity leave. BOOOOO!!!!!!!! So sad, so very sad!! I return to work after being off for a year on Mon Dec 1st which if you can believe it is next Monday!!!! What ever will I do??? DEPRESSING!

OK, I must pull myself together. Onto the post. This is another layout I did for my scrappers club using the Pina Colada Kit. Simple layout really. I ADORE this picture I took of my hubby with my baby Berlynn just getting out of the tub. I developed it in black and white which I think was a great idea too. LOVE IT!! I just need a couple more to put on the right side of the layout. I hope you like it!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Think of me as I enjoy my last week with my girls.

Take care,
Paula :)

ANOTHER Pumpkin Patch Page

Hello all!!

OK so I know you JUST saw a pumpkin patch lay out BUT I have 2 daughters therefore I have to scrap for both right? Here is my pumpkin patch lay out for my youngest daughter. Again this lay out uses SU's Pina Colada Simply Scrappin Kit (with a few added bits here and there). I stamped on this lay out. Usually when I use the kits I don't often stamp. I just HAD to add in the leaves and pumpkins though. Seems to work don't you think?

I cased this lay out from CINDY. Check out her blog here to see some of her stuff.

Thanks for popping by today and have a good one!!

Pina Colada Pimpkin Patch

Hey hey hey!!!

So I said I'd post my pumpkin patch scrapbook layout using their Pina Colada SU Kit and well.....here it is!! I always envision a pumpkin patch page done in orange but the yellow from this kit seemed to work perfectly!! I think so anyway LOL. If you are looking to scrap your fall events, I highly recommend getting this kit. The colours in it are beautiful and are so autumn like. The flowers in it are a bit on the Hawaiian side (which I LOVE but a bit bright and busy for fall) BUT other than that, perfect for fall events.


Thanks so much for visiting me today. Enjoy your day!!

Apple Picking

Hello all!!!

Well, it's been a while since I've posted any scrapbook pages. I have been keeping up but forgetting to photograph them. So you may be seeing an over load of scrapbooking coming your way tee hee.

This page is of course apple picking at a place called Appleland. Such a wonderful place for kids. You take a train ride out to the apple orchard and there is also a pumpkin patch as well as animals. So fun!! For this layout I used the Pina Colada Simply Scrappin kit by SU. Such a great kit for fall outings. Later on in the week I will post our pumpkin patch trip. It also uses the Pina Colada kit. Love those kits (as I have said a million times now- haha).

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy stamping.

Cute Little Christmas Box

Hello all!!

It's winter wonderland here in Ontario and I'm lovin' it!! The Christmas tree is up, the lights are up outside and we are ready for Christmas ALREADY!! I go back to work in 2 weeks from a year off of mat leave so I wanted to be sure all Christmas decor was up. Not to mention I am a Christmas FREAK! I love it.

So this little box was something we made at my stampers 10 club. I got it off of Splitcoast. I found it under Beate's tutorials. She's genius!! Her blog is to the right>>>>> Slide on over and check her out. She's awesome. I thought this box was so super cute because it's not your typical square box. I love that's it's a triangle. Something different. Hope you like it too.

Thanks for popping by today and enjoy your week.

Season of Friendship

Good day all!! Thanks for stopping by and checkin' me out.
This was one of the cards we made in my Christmas card class back in October. I LOVE THIS SET!! It can be found in the holiday mini catalogue. Again, so versatile with being able to make all seasons. Great for a scrapbooking page too I think. (I still need to use it on a layout myself)

Well, short and sweet today. Loads to get done. Mat leave is done in 2 weeks. YIKES!

Enjoy your Wednesday everyone!

We are making this card tonight at my Stampers 10 club. I hope they like it / him!

For You With Love

Good day everyone and if you are local it's a bright sunny day! Quite warm out too which is nice. Doesn't do anything for the Christmas spirit though HA HA!! I'm not complaining, I'll take the warmth and sunshine while we can. Before we know it (like next week) it will be chilly and back to mitts and hats!

So I have a MILLION people in my life with November birthdays. SO I made a few of the same card to be prepared for them all. This is a layout that I cased from Beate's Blog. I didn't enter my card into her weekly sketch because I did it late. I just needed a layout and hers was so fun. This is my version. I am LOVING the new Kiwi Kiss colour. SO versatile!! I hope you like it!!

Take care and enjoy the sun.

A Historical Day (and Happy Holidays)

Good day all!!
As I am writing this I am watching the TV and watching Obama speak as the newest elected President!! WOW, amazing! The first African American President....history is made!! Congrats to America!!

This card was one that we made in my Christmas card class some time ago. Now that Halloween is overwith, I am all about Christmas cards, boxes, ornaments etc!! GLITTER, GLITTER and more GLITTER!! This is a super simple card with a Baja Breeze base and DSP. I used the stamp set called Big On Christmas. So hard not to use the snowman stamp....I LOVE SNOWMEN but I really wanted to use another one this time.

I hope you all like it!!
Take care
