OK here's more

I couldn't not post a girlie LO that I have done recently. I just love that picture

hey remember me?

oh my goodness where has the time gone? What have you been up to? I have been working like a crazy woman. The way our new schedule at work is we all need to pick up X amount of shifts throughout the year to make up our full time hours. This has everyone going crazy trying to pick up shifts and I am no exception. I would love to have my pick ups done in the next few months, but that means actually picking up shifts and working them LOL.

enough about work, what have you been up to creative wise? I have come out of my creative slump and just what to be elbow deep in paper and lace and pretty things now. this is what I have been doing lately. This is with Kaisercraft's Up Up and Away line that I got at The Scrapping Nook. I gravitate to pretty girlie papers so I have all these "boy" pictures to scrap. this line is perfect for those (I still think I could make pretty girlie LOs with this line too BTW LOL) ....but I better get out more of those boy pictures and get them scrapped

Gus and his dad Trigger

the top picture is Trigger, Gus' dad. I posted it to see them together. The last time I saw Trigger, Gus was 5 months old and still looked very much like a puppy. He doesn't look like a puppy anymore as you can tell LOL

isn't he getting big? he's about 75lbs now at 9 months. He is a true lab, he loves his food! I'm not sure what he'll weigh when he's done since the vet says he could keep filling out till he's a year and a half OMG!! he is a good boy for the most part. It's nice that he's starting to sleep through the night (that only started in the last 2 wks) for about 3 months I was getting up at 1am and 3:30 am to let him out. I know I would not be happy to have to be doing that for much longer!!!

always fun to find a new way to use the stash

I got out my Maya Road chandelier crystals and coloured them with my Copics. It's pretty quick, but I had to wait until they dried to string them and add them to the layout. I think they add just the right amount of vintage to the layout.

more wonderful goodness from Making Memories

check this out. I had to pick up a cute little birdhouse from Micheal's for $1.50. I knew I would alter it somehow.... and this is what I came up with. I used the awesome Making Memories Noel papers and embellishments. I also used some Webster's ribbon, dew drops and some Prima flowers and embellishments. The Scrapping Nook is where I got my Making Memories Noel papers and embellishments.

so nice to scrap again

I was busy with the Noel line from Making Memories yesterday. Janice from the Scrapping Nook sent me some of the line and this is what I came up with with it. I was busy painting all morning while I was watching the miners being saved in Chile. It was very uplifting. After playing with paper strips, I realized that if I cut the 4" square, I can always mitre the corners afterwards. duh!!! anyways, live and learn right LOL

without further adieu, here it is.

I love fall

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were lucky enough to go out for a drive and look at the beautiful fall colours before dinner. Fall is my most favourite time of the year. It has even got me scrapping again. I had done the distress stickles on this paper about a year ago but I never did make a layout out of it .... till now that is. so glad that it's finally done
