Fairy Canvases

As promised, here are the canvases I made of my nieces in their fairy costumes. I was in Edmonton this past weekend and my sister brought these with her so that I could take pictures of them to post on my blog. I didn't know who to give them to at Christmas so I told my mom and my sister that they could decide amongst themselves who got to keep them. Of course my mom said that Danielle could have them if they were of the kids, but when she actually saw them she was sad she gave them away so easily. I felt bad for my mom so I will be making her a set of canvases for her bedroom. 

I really loved making these canvases. I had no real 'plan' when I set out to make them, so I just did what I thought felt right. There is a lot of texture to them and I used many different elements when creating them. I love making canvases!! Can't wait to make more in the future.

Thanks for looking. Hope to post again soon.

Happy New Year

Thought i would do a quick post, seeing as it has been forever. First of all Happy New Year! I hope 2009 brings great things for everyone. I am trying to have a more positive outlook on this upcoming new year then I have in past years, however I am still hesitant to make resolutions. It seems that many people feel the same way about resolutions as myself, which helps take off the pressure. 

Anyways, here is a layout that I finished in early November. It came together super smoothly and I love the finished product. 

I handmade four of my gifts this past Christmas and of course I left the finishing details until the very last day. Infact, I didnt even wrap two of them so I was unable to take pictures of them before I gave them away. I will have to sweet talk my sister in taking some pictures of them for me, so I can post them. 

Hope to blog again soon.

Oh Christmas Tree

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the decorating. This year I have new ornaments on my tree so it was exciting to decorate. I am very anal about it and everything has to be 'just perfect'. Even though I always wanna decorate it with friends or family, I always end up doing it alone with a few observers in the background.  Everyone soon becomes frustrated when I move their bulbs around. I wonder if I will ease up when I have children that want to help haha. Every year I try and switch up my tree just a little. I would love to be in charge of decorating various trees in different ornaments and themes every Christmas season.. at the Bay! or some other department store. Just thinking of that makes me happy!

I have finally uploaded my Christmas pics 'thus far' onto my computer. Now Ill be able to print them off and get them in my December Daily Album that Ive started. 

Ive been working on some pages so I will post some soon. Check back.

Thought I would try and get in the Christmas spirit. Enjoy

Clip It Up!

Im so excited. My sister and nieces came to visit this weekend in Lanigan and she brought me a Clip It Up! Isn't she the best sister ever! I cant wait to be back in the city to set it up and put it to good use. Just thought I would post quickly to let you know that I am still here. Im back working for my parents for one more week and then I will be back home and ready to scrapbook! Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend.

Halloween Pictures

Yay! I finally got them to upload but I had to use the smallest size. Aren't they adorable! Gabrielle is a Poodle and Ella is a monkey! I wish I could have been in Cold Lake to go trick or treating with him. They would have loved to see Quincy in her Cow costume!

Silly Ella

I have been trying to post pictures of my nieces in their halloween costumes since Friday and I have not been very successful so I decided I would just post another layout. I've been in Lanigan the past week working, so I don't have pictures of my halloween layouts to post yet but I will post them the first opportunity I get.

This is just a simple layout I did of Ella. I used some sass frass lass papers (not sure if its one word or not) and I loved working with them. I really want some of their new line that is out. I found that you can cut out some of the images for a very simple layout but you can also make the layout very elaborate because the papers are so busy! I really wanted to focus on the pictures because they capture the very essence of Ella. I cant wait to see both her and Gabrielle next weekend.

My puppy had her first birthday on Saturday! I cant believe she is already one. I made her a cake the shape of a paw and it was delicious. She didn't get to have any of course because it was Chocolate (stupid me, I dont know what I was thinking) but the entire family enjoyed it.We spend the day spoiling her rotten and I got a few photos so I could scrapbook a page .

Hope to post again soon.
